Chapter 1: I have the System, I’m the Best

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
A single ray of sunlight shone down and pierced through the eyelids of
Xu Que who was asleep but was abruptly awoken by it.
He felt an itch on his face and noticed that he was lying in a field of
grass.
"Didn’t I die in a car accident? How could I still be alive?"
He was astonished and was still unable to wrap his head around on how
he managed to escape death. All these thoughts paled in comparison to
the sight before him which made his eyes gape wide open in shock.
After that, his expression turned perplexed!
He could see a girl which looked like an immortal, dressed in ancient

clothes and was facing the spot he’s lying at. She was gently pulling
down her olden day clothing as she squatted down…
Heavens!
That girl. Could she be trying to…
No way! She can’t do that!
Such a gorgeous looking girl. How could she urinate just about
anywhere? And such an upright and straightforward person like myself,
how can I peep at her relieving herself?
Xu Que opened his eyes wider.

His eyes remained transfixed upon that gorgeous looking girl as she
lifted up her outer skirt completely before slowly pulling down her
undergarment bit by bit. As she pulls it down, he could see more of her
fair and tender flesh and along with it came a fragrant, womanly scent.
Seeing this scene unfold before him rendered him unable to remain
calm.
He noticed that by the way she faced him, she would probably end up
urinating all over his head. Xu Que hurriedly stuck his head out of the
dense and tall grass and shouted loudly.
"Miss, what do you think you’re doing? How can you just urinate
anywhere you feel like!?"
Everything seemed to freeze as the tension rose.
The girl was still in a squatting position while her entire body froze in
shock. And then…
"Ah!!!"
She let out a shrill shout and released the outer skirt which she had
lifted up, her entire body seemed to be shaking with that extended
shout. She then stepped onto a flying sword and flew up into the sky.
Fuck. What the hell is that? An actual flying sword?
So it seems like she’s really a damned immortal, huh?
Xu Que was taken aback. At the same time, a great number of

memories, both foreign and familiar, welled up within his mind. These
memories were so lifelike that they almost felt as if he had experienced
them himself.
Crossed over! I’ve fucking crossed over!
He then hurriedly screened through the memories that didn’t belong to

him, gaining a clear understanding of his present circumstances.
This was a cultivation world. Just like the furious looking immortal who
rode on a flying sword before him, people could cultivate and become
immortals with different powers and abilities.
And this body which he now owned belongs to a Prince Consort.

However, this Prince Consort was an extremely unlucky person.
He was just a poor orphan boy, yet possessed a special, one in a million
type of spiritual root.
When he was younger, the Emperor saw his innate talents and thus
decided to raise him to the position of Prince Consort to marry his
daughter. He thus provided him with countless of treasures and
materials for him to utilize in his cultivation efforts. In a short span of six
years, he managed to condense the abdominal core and crossed into
the Golden Core stage.
The day he managed to cross into the Golden Core stage was the same
day he finally consummated his marriage to the Princess. Thus began
the seven consecutive days and nights spent on the marital bed, which
concluded with the beautiful Princess stealing away all of his cultivation
essences away from him in his weakened state. Even his spiritual roots
weren’t spared as she acquired them all.
The newly wedded Prince Consort was thus turned into a cripple without
his spiritual roots and essences. As a cripple, he was no longer of any
value to the palace and therefore, he was secretly dragged out of the
palace in the dead of the night and brought to a deserted place. He was
killed there and his body remained in ruins.
"Ai, what a shame!"
After separating his own memories from those of belonging to this body,
Xu Que’s face was full of regret. He shook his head and sighed
regretfully, "Damn it! Why didn’t I crossover earlier to the time when I
could have those crazy bed exercise with the gorgeous princess?"
Just recalling the memories of the beautiful looking Princess in bed, with
her ecstatic eyebrows creased up, her wonderous figure, and that
ragged breathing was enough to make Xu Que feel it was a pity to not
have been there earlier!
"What audacity, you pervert. How dare you peep at me while I’m
relieving myself. I shall claim your life for this!"
At this point, a cute sounding voice rang out, coming from that immortal
from earlier on.
Her face was a deep shade of red from shame and anger. In addition, an
unmistakable killing intent radiated from her eyes. The sword beneath
her feet was hovering over the ground, looking sharp and deadly as it
charged towards Xu Que, trying to kill him.
"Damn it. Miss immortal, this has to be a misunderstanding. It was

clearly you who aimed your pink butt at where I was sleeping in. And…
Even if you wish to kill me to relieve yourself of the anger, can you
please pull up your skirt first? With you looking this way, it takes all the
energy out of my legs, making it hard for me to run away!"
Xu Que then gave a loud cry as he turned around to flee.
The expression of the girl changed and her ears turned red. She then
bent over to pull up her skirt before making a spitting sound in contempt.
"Damn pervert, you’re looking for death." The sword beneath her feet
started moving faster as she soared towards Xu Que with a whooshing
sound.
Xu Que ran like a madman, as he thinks a way to escape.
All of a sudden, an inspiration flashed across his mind.
He halted and pulled out a familiar looking tile from his robes and turned
to the girl, shouting as loudly as he could, "How dare you, demonic
woman. I am the Prince Consort of Fire Country. You dare to be
disrespectful to me? Watch your step, or I shall kill off nine generations
from your family tree.
At this point, Xu Que could hear a series of "dings" in his head, coming
from the system.
"Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for activating the Acting Tough, Face
Slapping System. This system shall help you to survive, protect you,
assist in your acting tough and ensuring that you shall soar to the
heavens!"
"Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The

reward is 1 acting tough point. Do you wish to enter the store to
exchange points for rewards?"
"The system detects that the host ‘Xu Que’ is too weak, and would be
unable to survive in such a world of advanced difficulty. A special bag is
thus given in order to increase your survivability. Do you wish to open
the bag?"
Just as the message rang out, he could see a window pop up before
him, as information could be seen scattered across the screen.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Stage: Normal Person (His arms are as weak as chickens)
Experience Points: 0/100
Acting Tough Points: 1 point
Skill Path: None
Occupation: None
Status: Prince Consort of Eastern Fire Country

"Ss… Hahahah!!!"
Xu Que first sucked in a deep breath of air before laughing out

uncontrollably.
What is this acting tough, face slapping system? Just by the sound of it,
it seemed like it was customized specifically for me. This system shall
help me to break the rules of heaven to rebel against it! T his is going to
be fun.
"Pervert, your death is fast approaching. What are you laughing about?"
All of a sudden, a sweet sounding voice interrupted Xu Que’s laughter,

bringing him back down from his madness.
The girl had already moved towards him ‘till she was standing just ten
meters away from him. The flying sword which she stood on was now in
her hands. Her huge eyes were looking at him warily.
Xu Que’s eyes squinted as he thought for some time before bursting out
in cold laughter once again. "I am the Prince Consort of the Eastern
Firelands! I can look at the highly esteemed Princess anytime I wish.
You look quite pretty yourself and for the Prince Consort to look at you
is your good fortune! Don’t think that just because you wield a flying
sword, you can shout loudly about slaughtering me. The Prince Consort
standing before you has the talent that was only seen once in hundreds
of years. Why should I be afraid of a mere servant such as yourself?
Come, come, come… You wish to fight me don’t you? If you have the
guts to, take one more step towards me."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough.

The reward is one acting tough point."
Just as expected, the system rang out within his ears once more as he
burst out in another fit of uncontrollable laughter.
So, it seemed like this acting tough, face slapping system takes its
name very literally. As long as I act tough, I can gain acting tough point.
With these points, I can ascend through the ranks and earn the different
rewards from the system…
"Oh, that’s right. There seems to be a gift I haven’t unwrapped." Xu Que

could see a flash in his eyes as he shouted out in his mind, "Open the
gift."
Instantly, the page in his vision changed and a box appeared. The box
opened as several beams of light streamed out before disappearing.
"Congratulations host ‘Xu Que’ for obtaining the Beginner’s Experience

Pill. Using the pill would give 10,000 experience points."
Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for obtaining two pieces of Beginner’s

Divine Escape Emblem. Using this emblem would enable the host to
teleport to a random place within 5 kilometers."
"Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for obtaining the beginner’s . "
"Ding! It’s been detected that the host ‘Xu Que’ has damaged spiritual
roots and doesn’t fulfill the requirements for cultivation. The system
shall help repair your spiritual roots."
Instantaneously, Xu Que felt like a surge of electricity passed through

his entire body, causing his scalp to go numb.
Following that strange sensation was a feeling of extreme comfort. The

pores all over his body opened up completely, greedily devouring Qi
from all around.
Boom!
Soon, he could feel his body his body undergoing a tremendous change
as it started becoming closer to nature. It was almost as if he could
integrate with nature and even control it.
However, he was very familiar with this feeling. All those years ago,
before his fire spiritual roots was taken away by the Princess, he felt
that same familiar feeling with fire. Today, not only did the system repair
his broken fire spiritual roots, it also gave him all the other elements.
Metal, fire, water, wood and earth. Each and every single element was
granted to him. In fact, all of these elements were upgraded to the
highest, "Celestial" level.
This is the best for me to rebel against the heavens!
At this point, Xu Que couldn’t hold it in any further and shouted loudly
as he waved his arms, "With the system in my hands, this world belongs
to me! What dogshit Emperor of the Fire Co untry. Wait till I, Xu Que,
attain the highest level and return for my revenge. Then, I shall trample
upon all of you and crush you into fragments."
"What audacity, you pervert! You claimed to be the Prince Consort of

the Fire Country and yet you dare to speak such crazed words and insult
the Emperor?" The girl beside him was stunned by his words. Was this
Prince Consort crazy? How dare he speak such words of rebellion
against the Emperor.
"Ding, congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting to ugh.

The reward is one acting tough point."
Xu Que then regained his senses as his lips twitched. Damn it. I was
looking too far ahead into the future of acting tough that I almost forgot
the trouble before me. I have to hurry and think of a way to escape.
"Right, the experience pill!"
He then recalled the existence of the Beginner’s Experience Pill within

his new inventory.
Without any further hesitation, he hurriedly used his mind to operate the
information interface to open it. Three items then appeared from within.
"Use it, use it." Xu Que eyed two of the three objects and shouted in his
heart.
In his mind, he could hear a series of messages from the system:
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully cultivating
"Ding! Host ‘Xu Que’ used the Beginner’s Experience Pill and received
10,000 experience points."
"Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for levelling up. The current stage is
Qi Refining Level 1."
In just a short span of time, Xu Que evolved from a normal person with
strength like a chicken to a cultivation being, straight into the Qi
Refining Stage. He was just a step short of transcending into the
Foundation Building Stage.
In addition, he was much stronger than a normal cultivator at level 10 of

the Qi Refining Stage.
The reason was because he had all five different elements of spiritual
roots. This meant that he had five times the strength of a normal person.
Furthermore, with five different elements of spiritual roots that could

combine together and supported each other, the amount of force that
could be exerted was more than just five times. It was much greater
than that.
"At this point, there’s nothing more to say. If I’m not unrivalled, who is
unrivalled?"
Xu Que’s heart pounded furiously in his chest.
At this point, the girl facing him danced and swayed as a beam of light
descended from the heavens, parting the clouds as it sharpened her
sword. Before he could even bat an eyelid, she swung the sword at him
like a poisonous snake darting in for its victim.
"Fuck, immortal fairy lady. I was just asking a gorgeous thing such as
yourself to allow your master, the Prince Consort to take a good look at
you. Who told you to draw your sword? That was a surprise attack, a
hidden attempt at my life!"
Xu Que was taken aback as he jumped in fear, seeing the flying sword
soaring right at him and he cursed out loudly.
As he shouted out in fear and surprise, his body reacted instinctively, as

he legs slid backwards, avoiding the sword. His finger then seemed to
harness the powers of water Qi as he gently tapped on the surface of
the incoming sword.
"Bang!"
A vibrating sound rang out as the sword ricocheted away from him.
"How… How could it be?"
The girl was temporarily stunned. Apart from the skillful and powerful
uncles within her sect, the senior brothers and sisters who could repel
this flying sword with such ease would at least have to be of the sixth
level of the Foundation Building Stage!
"I am extremely puzzled. I already said that eve rything that happened
earlier was a misunderstanding and you’re still confused? You still have
the cheek to make an attempt on my life? Don’t think I won’t hit you just
because you’re a pretty little fairy immortal. Anyway, I didn’t even get a
clear look at you. At this point, I shall take a good look at you once
more. This time, openly."
Xu Que rebuked her furiously as his footsteps quickened. The earth Qi

fused with his feet as his speed increased tremendously. In a blink of an
eye, he appeared right in front of her.
Soon after, water Qi appeared on his palms as it surrounded all four

directions around them. The girl didn’t even have time to react before
she was trapped there.
"Perv... Pervert. What are you trying to do?" The girl was taken aback as
she turned pale. She could feel the fire Qi within her body being
severely suppressed.
"Heh heh! Since you’ve already called me a pervert, how then can I not
live up to that?"
Xu Que had a cruel laugh etched across his face as his eyebrows were
raised. He then extended a hand and lifted up her skirt in a quick
motion.
2 Fleeing After Acting Tough Is Damned

Exhilarating
Chapter 2: Fleeing After Acting Tough Is Damned Exhilarating

"Ahh!!! Pervert! You, you stop it right now!"
The girl let out a shrill shout. She would never have expected to be
humiliated and taken advantage of in broad daylight, under th e foot of
her sect’s own mountain.
"You can scream all you like! I think you can even scream till your throat
rips apart but nobody would come and save you…"
Xu Que squinted and smiled as he looked at her.
Of course, all this was done in an innocent bid to scare and embarrass
her. This was repayment for chasing after him and trying to kill him.
"Sou! Sou!"
At this point, sounds could be heard from the sky as it tore through the
clouds. Immediately after, three beams of light soared through the
heaven and descended down upon this land like shooting stars.
"Scoundrel, you dare!"
"Stop it immediately."
A pair of stern and harsh voices rang out as Xu Que felt their voice
reverberate in his head like the deafening roars of thunder. A wave of
immense pressure was exerted over his body as if mountains had been
placed over his shoulders. He panicked and Xu Que’s face turned pale
as he fell to his knees.
Immediately after, three old people appeared. Although their heads were
full of white hair, their complexion looked extremely young, as if they
upkept themselves very well.
One of the old women had a sinister and fierce glance etched across her
face as she glared at Xu Que. Just this stare alone made Xu Que feel
like he was being imprisoned within her eyes. It was almost as if his
entire life was hinged at the tips of her fingers, as helpless as an insect.
Strong person!
Crap! These few old people are extremely formidable!"
He could feel the pressure emitted from their bodies, radiating out
towards him. Xu Que knew at once that he wouldn’t be able to
overpower them.
"What boldness! You dare to commit evil acts right under the mountain
of our Celestial Sect? Today I shall administer justice."
The old woman cleared her throat as she waved a palm in the air. A
fiery snake was conjured as it slithered on her arm and flew towards at
Xu Que, emanating a majestic, blazing aura around it.
"Screw this! Old woman, how could you be so evil? How could you
attack without speaking a word or giving any warnings?"
Xu Que’s face turned, as he hastily invoked earth Qi from the ground

and fused it together with his feet as they seemed to become one with
the earth. His reflexes and speed increased tremendously as he darted
to the side to avoid the blow.
The fire snake missed him on the first strike as it turned its head deftly,
mouth wide open to launch a second assault. All of a sudden, it split into
two snakes, attempting to block his retreat as the pair of fire snakes
charged towards him.
Xu Que inhaled a deep breath of cold air. This old woman was really
trying to kill him!
Damn it, who did I offend this time?
Xu Que was extremely unhappy and yet he had no choice but to run. If
not, he would have to pay with his dear life.
"Sou!" He had nearly expanded all the earth Q i as he turned back to

look at the pair of fiery snakes hot on his heels. Just as they were about
to close in on him, he darted once again, and felt the pair of them nearly
brush past his skin as he dodged their strikes by squeezing in between
the two of them. An intense feeling of life and death welled up within his
heart. He realized that his sweat stained back turned dry after that
ordeal.
By dodging a pair of snakes, the three elderly looked at him in utter
shock.
"How… How’s that possible?"
"He’s only at the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage, and yet could avoid
the strikes of the fiery snakes twice in such a short span of time. How
did he achieve such speed and agility?" The pair of elder beside the old
woman spoke out in shock.
The old woman gave a cold harrumph, "Just now, I could feel earth Qi
envelop his body. The people from Earth Nation are all good at using
using the landscape to their advantage and fleeing in such a manner. He
must be a spy from Earth Nation."
"Master, wait a minute. That person claimed to be the Prince Consort of

Fire Country. He even had a tile to prove it." The girl hurriedly spoke
out.
She knew that if he’s really the Fire Country’s Prince Consort and her
teacher were to kill him, the Palace would use this as an excuse to
attack Celestial Sect.
"Prince Consort? Ah, according to what I know, the Prince Consort of

Fire Country has such exquisite innate talents that it was seen only once
in a thousand years. At the tender age of eighteen, he stepped past the
Golden Core Stage. He should be in secluded meditation now within the
palace, how can he be compared to this little brat? Xue Ru, you’ve
never descended the mountains alone and thus have little experience in
this world. You have to remember, never to be so gullible and t rust what
everyone says." The old woman looked at the girl adoringly.
"So he’s a liar and a sham." The girl looked at him wide eyed as her
anger built up.
The old woman swept a glance across Xu Que, who was standing a
short distance away. She seemed to be deep in thought. In the next
moment, she flipped her palms and conjured a rope out of thin air. This
rope glowed in bright gold and was radiating brilliant looking lights.
This caused Xu Que to gaze at the rope, wide eyed in astonishment. He

admired the luster and brilliance of the rope. A treasure. That is
definitely a treasure spoken of in fables!
"Xue Rou, master shall lend you my Immortal Trapping Rope. Use this to
capture him." The old woman instructed as the golden rope floated up
into the air and dropped gently before Xue Rou.
Xue Rou was stunned. This was her master’s most precious weapon!
Once this rope was used, even people who were at the Golden Core
stage would fall prey to it quickly. It’s just that with master’s skills and
proficiency, taking this person down would be only too easy. Why didn’t
she do it herself then?
In a split second, she understood why.
With his master’s status and powers, it was inappropriate for her to
attack him. Should word leak out, people would mock her for bullying
someone so much weaker than her. However, lending Xue Rou her
secret weapon was acceptable and doing that would also ensure that
they would take down the pervert. She mused at how wise her master
was.
At this point, Tang Xue Rou held onto the rope with one hand as her
gorgeous looking eyes glared at Xu Que. She then shouted out,
"Pervert, raise your hands up and surrender."
Xu Que’s mouth twitched.
Surrender your sister! Your damned mouth already condemned me as a

pervert. If I were to surrender, wouldn’t that mean death for me? You
wish!
He rolled his eyes before laughing coldly, "I am the Prince Consort of
Fire Country. Are you really using that stupid broken rope to take down
the Prince Consort? You really think so little of me huh? If you have the
guts, take another step towards me. I shall stand here and let you cast
your stupid broken rope at me!"
Broken rope?
Not only Tang Xue Rou, but the old woman and the other two elderly
people were shocked and their faces fell.
This Immortal Trapping Rope was crafted personally by their own sect
leader and was a top quality weapon. Yet this scoundrel here called it a
broken rope? It’s such an insult to Celestial Sect!
"All this trouble and your death is brought on by yourself!"
Tang Xue Rou gave a cry before she leapt into the sky. The Immortal
Trapping Rope came alive like a deft snake. It struck as quick as
lightning as it shot towards Xu Que.
"Ding! Host ‘Xu Que’ acting tough failed. No rewards shall be granted."
"Your mother... Acting tough backfired on me! It’s better if I flee now."
Xu Que scolded harshly before turning around to flee.
"Xue Rou, use your flying sword to close down on him." All of a sudden,
the old woman spoke out, using Xu Que as an opportunity to guide her
disciple with the arts of battle.
Tang Xue Rou understood immediately as she activated her flying sword
and charged towards Xu Que while standing on it.
Xu Que was extremely disheartened at this point and turned around to

shout, "You old foggy, why are you so stubborn to defy death and still be
alive at this age? Are you afraid your disciple cannot win me? I’ve
already said that if you manage to capture me today, my surname isn’t
Xue."
"Don’t talk to my master that way!"
Tang Xue Rou retorted angrily as her flying sword gai ned ground.
The old woman’s expression was boiling with rage as well.
Xue Que hurriedly whipped out an item from the inventory within the
system. It was the Beginner’s Divine Escape Emblem which was given
to him at the start by the system. The moment he retrieved it, a fearless
look appeared across his face. He then thought of an acting tough line
and shouted out.
"The river flowed west for thirty years and flowed east for another thirty
years. Just you wait. For bullying the weak and poor, I shall one d ay
have you kneel before me as I vanquish you!"
As he spoke, the Immortal Trapping Rope was just mere inches away
from his back. Just as it was about to close in on him and trap him, the
emblem within his palms gave off a bright light. With a ‘sou’, Xu Qu e
instantly vanished from sight.
The Immortal Trapping Rope lost its target and remained limp as it
floated in the air.
Tang Xue Rou and the three elderly people stared as their mouth gaped
in shock.
"What… What kind of treasure did he use?"
"Could it be the long lost Earth Shrinking Amulet? How… How could that
be possible?"
"Hurry, dispatch men and search for him. He couldn’t have gotten far.
This person has a treasure on him and we cannot allow such a precious
item to remain in his possession!" The old woman shouted before
transforming into a beam of light, soaring into the skies.
...
At the same time, the skies opened up as another beam of light could be
seen. A Daoist descended from the skies onto the ground. It was Xu
Que.
"Shit! This amulet was pretty useful! Haha! Those death-defying old
people failed in their plans. It was so damn exhilarating to act tough
before fleeing!"
Seeing that he was temporarily safe, Xu Que burst out in laughter as he

heard the system go off in his head.

The reward is one act tough point."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully completing ‘act

tough and flee’ with good results. The reward is ten act tough points."
Xu Que paused in amusement before breaking out into laughter. "Haha!

It was extremely worth it to act tough that way!"
He was in extremely high spirits as he stood up and observed his

surroundings.
He noticed many chests— large and small, scattered all around. It was
giving off a certain fragrance and was an extremely strange sight to
behold.
Xu Que was overjoyed. Just as he was about to take a step forward to

examine it, he raised his head and looked up. He saw a signboard hung
overhead with inscriptions of dragons and phoenixes flying. There
seemed to be several words written as well— Celestial Sect’s Treasure
Room!
Holy shit. How did I accidentally end up in their treasure room?
This… What an embarrassing situation! I am not usually a thieving

person as well!
Xue Que then looked at the chests greedily before shooting off for the
nearest chest.
He then opened a squarish chest to reveal a crimson red sword which

was glowing brightly. Red energy seemed to be circling around the
sword. Just a look was enough for him to know that this wasn’t any
ordinary sword.
"I’ll take it. I have to take it."
Xu Que was overjoyed. He then operated the system by controlling his

mind and opened the inventory before placing the sword into it.
He then opened a second wooden chest. He saw several vials encased

within. The vials were labelled as Energy Accumulation Pills.
"I’ve struck it rich!"
Xu Que once again kept several vials into the inventory within his
system before scooting off to the next chest.
Only after more than half of the chests had been opened— its contents
taken and stored within his inventory, that he realized there was a
limited amount of space within. Every item that was different occupied a
square block, signifying a single item slot. Hence he knew that it was
impossible to store every item here within his inventory.
"That’s damned embarrassing! There are still so many treasures left. If I

don’t take them, I would suffer the wrath of heaven!"
"No, I definitely won’t waste all these treasures here. I have to thi nk of a
way…"
Xu Que sat down on the floor in contemplation.
Several moments later, a gleam came into his eyes as he stood up in

excitement, "I’ve got it. I shall consume all the pills. Then I shall be able
to keep all the remaining treasures."
Immediately after he finished speaking, Xu Que opened his inventory

and took out every single pill from within it. He then noticed an entire
section of unused item space. He then started to fill it up once again
with the remaining treasures.
Before long, all the remaining space were occupied as well. There were
slightly over ten chests left, which contained a variety of magical pills
and potions.
Xu Que thought to himself and knew that such pills cannot be taken
rashly. He decided to try a single pill of each bef ore deciding.
Thus, he opened the ‘Energy Accumulation Pills’ and poured out a

single black pill. He then shoved it into his mouth. He chewed on it like a
candy but couldn’t detect the faintest trace of flavour or taste.
"Gulp!" He swallowed down the remnants of chewed up pill and furrowed

his eyebrows. "Strange. Not only does it not have any taste but I don’t
feel anything different as well. Could it be that it’s past its expiration
date?"
"Maybe I should eat another…"
In between his own mumblings, he opened the second vial of Energy

Accumulation Pill…
The third vial...
The fourth vial...
All the way up to the tenth pill, the only feeling experienced by Xu Que
was that he was slightly full and yet he still couldn’t feel anything
different about his body.
"I don’t believe this. Maybe I should try these Origins Pills. Oh, there's
still the Physical Tempering Pills…"
He then started going crazy and swallowed every single pill he laid his
sight on. Pill by pill, vial by vial.
"Ka-da!"
All of a sudden, the doors to the treasure room was pushed open. A
youth dressed in fresh robes and a sword hanging from his waist
appeared at the door.
Xu Que paused in shock as the both of them stared at each other.
The youth : "..."
Xu Que : "..."
At this point in time, everything was still.
"Gulp…"
Xu Que’s throat moved as he swallowed down the last few pills in his
mouth. He looked up at the youth before giving a long and loud burp.
3 Eating Too Many Will Cause Your Body To

Explode
Chapter 3: Eating Too Many Will Cause Your Body To Explode

The youth with a sword by his side frowned as the corners of his lips
twitched.
He swept a glance at the empty treasure room before turning his gaze to
this unfamiliar face standing in front of him. In a short while, his
expression started to change into one of intense rage. ‘Zhen g!’ He drew
out his sword and pointed it at Xu Que and asked ferociously, "Who are
you? How dare you trespass into my sect’s treasure room!"
Xu Que turned to look at the system interface screen and noticed the
last remaining Divine Escape Emblem left in the item slot. He then
started laughing out loud.
"Brother, you don’t even know who I am and you dare to point your
sword at me? Don’t you know? In this entire life, the one thing I hate the
most is for someone to point a gun… Oh, for someone to point a sw ord
at my face?"
"Ding! Congratulations host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The
reward is one act tough point."
The sword wielding youth paused, a confused look could be seen on his
face, "But, I didn’t point it at your head!"
He then realized what he’d just said and snapped back into anger, "Cut
the crap! You dare to enter our sacred treasure room. You’re clearly
looking for death."
The minute his last word was spoken, the youth swung his sword with a
‘whoosh’. The deadly flash of the sword co uld almost be heard as bright
red light reflected across to the four corners of the room. A stream of
ember flames spilled out and charged towards Xu Que, causing him to
feel an intense heat.
His mother, this kid is really unkind! And much more powerful than that
immortal girl from earlier. At the very least, he’s at the Foundation
Building Stage! Why do all these cultivation people so fierce and violent.
They always attack to kill without giving any warning or speaking and
their opening attacks are always so powerful.
Xu Que cursed out aloud as he charged some energy from within his
body to defend himself. However, he felt something wasn’t quite right.
He could feel a colossal amount of energy welling from within the

deepest recesses of his body. It seemed to swirl around his vital organs
and wreak havoc all over. It was almost as if the energy was trying to rip
his entire body apart and felt like a million needles were pricking every
inch of him. Xu Que trembled before falling to the ground helplessly.
"Ah!"
Xu Que clutched at his lower abdomen, just above the navel, where the
dantian was. The dantian was the region where Qi was stored and it felt
like the immense energy was about to force its way out. It was so
intense that he knew the amount of energy trying to escape would surely
kill him and shatter his body.
Why was this happening?
Xu Que then recalled the number of pills he gulped down recklessly as

his face turned pale.
I’m finished. I’m really finished.
With so many pills in my stomach I’m done for. So it wasn’t that the pills
weren’t taking effect but that I had to rotate all the Qi around for me to
feel it.
After consuming all those pills, he didn’t think to rotate the Qi around his
body and thus didn’t feel the effects of it. Only after h e was forced to
utilize some energy to defend himself from the youth did he rotate his
Qi.
"How dare you thief! What tricks are you trying to pull off this time?"
Zhang Su Liang glared at Xu Que, trying to size him up. Seeing him
clutch his belly and all the empty vials around him. He finally understood
the situation. With a face full of shock and fear, he sputtered, "You... Did
you consume all those pills?"
At this point, Xu Que had no energy to reply him. His entire face was
contorted as he grimaced in agony, his cheeks becoming paler by the
second.
Even with five different spiritual roots, he was completely unable to

assimilate such copious amounts of Qi.
Zhang Su Liang was momentarily stunned as well. All these pills... They
were used to give the outer disciples for their cultivation every month! A
single normal Energy Accumulation pill could provide enough Qi to a
disciple for an entire month.
And this guy standing before him just swallowed dozens of these pills?
He even ate the Origins and Physical Tempering Pills meant for the
Foundation Building Stages. Was he trying to commit suicide?
"Ding! System detected that host ‘Xu Que’ is overloaded with Qi and is
taking damage to his body. Activate repair and recovery capabilities?
Notice : Repair and recovery would require 1 act tough point."
The voice of the system rang out within his head. Even without thinking,
he hurriedly shouted out in his head, "Activate! Hurry get rid of this
excess Qi in my body!"
"Ding! Activation of recovery, success. Deduc ting 1 act tough point."
"Ding! It’s been detected that the host’s only has the beginner’s level
and thus is unable to digest the Qi energy. It’s required to buy the
intermediate level.
Shua!
Following the repair of his physical condition, Xu Que felt t he pain

subside considerably. At the same time, he saw a white page appeared
before his eyes. This was the shop of the system.
This was his first time seeing the shopping facilities of the system.
Within it, there were a multitude of purchasable items and many
different types of manuals and treasures.
However, the minute he saw the price attached to the intermediate
levels of the he spit out a mouthful of blood.
"The middle levels required me to spend a hundred acting tough points?

Fuck, why don’t you just rob me instead?! I’ve acted tough so hard the
entire day and I can’t even purchase an intermediate level manual!" Xu
Que shouted out in his head.
Zhang Su Liang furrowed his eyebrows and was just about to speak. All
of a sudden, Xu Que’s face contorted in agony once again as he let out
a distressed shout.
"Ah!!!"
The sound of the shout sounded excruciating and he wasn’t feigning it.
He felt another surge of pain in his body since the recovery speed was
unable to catch up to the speed of his Qi wrecking his body. He had
consumed far too many pills and his body which was festered with
impurities couldn’t handle the pureness of the Qi.
"Since you’re in so much pain, why don’t I put you out of your misery!"
Zhang Su Liang couldn’t bear to hear his screams any longer as he

clutched the hilt of his sword and decided to end his sufferings.
Seeing the present situation, he mustered the remnants of his energy

and gritted his teeth, "Don’t bother about me. Everyone has to die
sooner or later in spite of how severe or easy their deaths would be. If I
don’t enter hell, who else shall? Ah!!!"
The minute his last word echoed out, there was a ‘whoosh’ as Xu Que
disappeared from sight. It did seem like he had really died then and his
soul vanished from the spot. Even his body had been utterly destroyed
as well.
Zhang Su Liang’s mouth was gaping wide as he struggled to believe

what he saw. It took him a long time before he regained his senses. It
was as if he was taken aback by the sagely words spoken by Xue Que.
Indeed, Xu Que didn’t die. He was just afraid that he would be hacked to
death by Zhang Su Liang if he remained and thus he broke the final
Divine Escape Emblem and activated it. It was just that he acted tough
once before leaving.
And the way which he acted tough was anything but ordinary. The
system however only rewarded him with a single point each time he
acted tough. Compared with the points needed to purchase the
intermediate level of the , it was a single hair out of nine cows.
At this point, Xu Que was still relying on the system’s recovery and he
had to spend 1 acting tough points every now and then. However, the Qi
within his body didn’t seem to dissipate. Instead, it seemed to grow
stronger, like the aging of wine which grew stronger by tenfolds as time
passed.
Assimilating such small amounts of Qi each time wasn’t going to solve

the problem.
Xu Que was teleported to a side of a small creek and was backed up

against a tree. He composed himself and conjured the system into view.
A window interface appeared before his eyes.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Stage: Qi Refining Stage Level 10 (Beginner’s Access)
Acting Tough Points: 15 Points
Skill Path: Beginner’s Level
Occupation: None
Current Vitality Status: Imminent Danger
Seeing the last line of words, Xu Que’s mouth twitched.
Imminent danger couldn’t mean anything good. It was exactly like what
people were told when they received news of terminal illness. It was
somewhat like a death sentence!
"Damned system. You told me that you would guide me along this
journey of acting tough and see that I soar. Hurry and think of a way to
solve this problem!" Xu Que clutched his abdomen, his face grimaced in
pain.
"Ding! Search complete. According to the host’s previous acting tough

situation and present circumstance, the system has detected a solution
to the problem..."
Hearing these words, Xu Que’s eyes lit up as if he had a renewed hope

in life.
In the next moment however, his vision went black.
The system automatically ejected itself from the shops. It then displayed
a manual which was titled, .
4 Gorgeous Looking Little Village Girl
Chapter 4: Gorgeous Looking Little Village Girl

After some time, Xu Que heaved a sigh of relief.
The system’s solution meant that there was a way out. It was for him to
muster the skill of "Destruction of Meridians". This was the only way to
expel the excess Qi.
Since Qi flowed along the meridians, everytime he collapsed his own

meridians, Qi would automatically be used up to repair the damage
vessel.
It would even cause his meridians to become stronger after each

reparation process and would also strengthen his health and physique.
However, this process was bound to be tortuous and excruciating. In

order to allow the Qi to repair his meridians, he would have to shut off
the system’s reparation ability. This also meant that Xu Que had to
endure the pain of countless destructions of his own meridians.
"Forget it. If it has to be destroyed and repaire d, then so be it. It’s much
better than exploding to death."
Xu Que made the choice.
He gritted his teeth and spent 10 acting tough points to buy the manual .
In that instant, a flash of light flashed across his mind as he acquired

the cruel manual.
He then shut his eyes tight as he used his own Qi to press down hard on
each of his crucial acupuncture points, collapsing his own meridians.
At the same time, the shrieks and wails which sounded like a pig dying
could be heard in the forest.
Once he broke the first meridians, he didn’t stop for two days and two
nights. At the end of it all, Xu Que was completely drained as he passed
out.
...
When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying within a small and old
wooden hut. To his sides were simple and pl ain furnitures. A rusted and
spotted pot rested on the table as it emitted steam.
"Looks like I survived…"
Xu Que laughed out contentedly.
He licked his cracked up lips before sitting up to pour himself some

water to drink.
"Ssss!"
At the same time, he sucked in a breath of cold, fresh air. Pain coursed
through his entire body agonizingly as he fell back down onto the bed
helplessly.
At this point, he realized that his entire body was wrapped up like a
mummy. A sharp and unpleasant smell of medication wafted from within
the wraps.
Fuck, which quack of a doctor did this to me?
Xu Que was filled with anger. What’s a simple wound? All that’s required
was to spend some acting tough points and I will be alright. But you
decided to wrap me up like a damned mummy. How am I supposed to
act tough in this state?
‘Chi-ya!’
The door creaked open gently, as a petite figure walked through the
door.
"Eh, you’re awake?"
A sweet and melodious sound of a girl speaking coursed through his

ears.
Xu Que looked up to get a better look as his entire body froze.

The petite girl standing before him was a beauty. Her skin was fair and
smooth as an entire head of dark black hair fell lightly on her shoulders.
Her big round eyes gleamed of innocence and clarity.
Seeing that Xu Que was awake, the corners of her mouth moved to
reveal the smile of a gorgeous angel.
"So you’ve finally woken up. Yesterday, I went up to the mountains to

pick some vegetables and saw that you were unconscious on the
ground, and your entire body was covered in blood. Thus I called for
second brother Leng and the rest of them to carry you back. You must
be a foreigner, right? You must never go up that mountain again. It was
very easy for people who were unfamiliar with this area to fall prey to
the beasts around." Her beautiful eyes gleamed as she smiled once
again and her cheeks revealed a sweet pair of dimples.
Xu Que was still dazed by her beauty.
My god. How can this world produce a woman of such beauty!

Compared to the pretty immortal girl who turned violent previously, this
little village girl was on a different league. She had the countenance of a
flower and the face of goddess. It was difficult for Xu Que to contain his
infatuation.
"Don’t be afraid. This is Pan Shan Village. Wild beasts won’t enter this
place. Besides, there are many immortals who would beat them
savagely if they ever showed up." The little village girl looked at Xu
Que’s expression and thought that he was still afraid. He was watching
her little hands imitate the beasts as she spoke. She was extremely
adorable.
Xu Que regained his senses. Staring at a beautiful girl was a simple act.
However, the grand mastery of acting tough was a job that was
perpetual and must never be dropped!
Hearing this, he sat upright and replied, "Afraid? I, Xu Que, have never
known fear. Truth be told, I am a hunter. That day when I was atop the
mountain, I ran into a thousand.. Err, several dozens of wild beasts
trying to take me for their dinner. But I wasn’t the least afraid. When I
encountered them, I stood my ground and shouted at them. Everyone
has to die sooner or later in spite of how severe or easy their deaths
would be. But I, Xu Que, will never surrender. Hence I began a battle for
my life which lasted three days and three nights. Loo k at these battle
scars, they were caused by a savage wolf…"
"Ah? We’ve never heard of any wolves on that mountain!"
"Aren’t there any? Then it means that it probably came over from
another mountain! Aiya, don’t bother yourself with the minor details. Th e
important point is that I wasn’t willing to die as a meal to them, and thus
I jumped off the mountain. Who would expect that heavens was looking
after me and sent an immortal fairy to look after me. Thank you."
"Ah… I… I’m not an immortal fairy. I’m Xia o Rou." The little village girl
froze momentarily as her face blushed red in shyness, tipping her head
down.
"It’s alright Xiao Rou. From today on, you shall be my immortal fairy." Xu
Que replied sincerely.
"You… How can you say… Ah…" Xiao Rou sounded extremely anxious
and flustered as she covered her adorable face before turning around to
run off.
In this place, even if it’s a tiny village, people were still very traditional
and conservative.
In speaking this way, Xu Que was as good as taking liberties with her
and teasing her and not just complimenting her on her looks.
Xiao Rou ran out of the hut and hid outside as she started using her
little fingers to fan her hot flushed cheeks.
Xu Que laid back down on the bed and smiled in admiration of himself.
That acting tough was extremely successful. He had earned 2 points
from it and was pleased. That's why his glib tongue decided to flatter
and praise Xiao Rou.
He then called out the system as the interface appeared before his
eyes.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Stagel: Qi Refining Stage Level 10 (Small Progress)
Skill Path : Beginner’s Level
Occupation: None
Status: Prince Consort of the Eastern Fire Country
"Eh?"
Xu Que was taken aback.
The last time he looked at the interface, it was still the same — level 10
of the Qi Refining Stage. However, the system’s comments were that it
was just beginner’s access. Now it stated that I’ve made small progress,
as if I had increased by a mini level. Could it be the rewards of
constantly destroying and repairing my meridians?
Oh, if that’s the reason, then all that suffering wasn’t in vain.
Xu Que’s heart regained some sort of calmness as he spoke to the

system, "Activate recovery capabilities. Help me to recover from my
injuries."
"Ding! Activating recovery capabilities. Deducting 1 acting tough point."
Shua!
Almost instantaneously, a clear and cooling feeling enveloped his entire

body.
Xu Que felt his entire body shrouded in comfort and pleasure. It was the
same feeling as dipping into a hot stream after a long and tiring day,
causing all his pores to open up in relaxation.
After several breaths, all the pain in his body had disappeared as he
regained his energy. He felt much stronger than before he was hurt.
Xu Que then laughed out, extremely satisfied as he leapt off the bed. He
then clenched his fists as he stretched, causing his muscles to twitch.
"Pa! Pa! Pa-da!"
Following the sounds, he had ripped apart the bandages on his body as
it fell to the ground.
‘Chi-ya!’
At this point the finally composed Xiao Rou pushed open the door once
again and entered.
At this point, her gaze fell upon Xu Que’s. Her pupils dilated as her
smile turned into one of extreme horror as she let out a loud shriek. Her
entire face turned a deep shade of red as she ran out of the door.
Xu Que paused for sometime, his expression was suspicious as he

looked down at himself. What he saw caused his face to turn as red as a
pig’s liver.
Fuck, who took off all my clothes?

5 Subtly Acting Tough Is The Most Effective
Chapter 5: Subtly Acting Tough Is The Most Effective

With the removal of the bandages, Xu Que’s body revealed to be smooth

with only a layer of sticky ointment left on the surface of his skin.
"The condition of your injury is still severe and the physician advised
that medication should not be stopped within a month. Why did you
remove your medicinal bandages?"
Xiao Rou reprimanded from outside, but was afraid to come in.
Xu Que quickly grabbed hold of his patch-filled blanket from his bed and
wrapped it around himself. He then coughed and said, "Xiao Rou, I’m
fine, it’s only a superficial injury. Could you get me a set of clothes?’
Amidst the gloomy scene, Xiao Rou replied , "Hold on!"
Xiao Rou left and the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Xu Que grinned and sat back in his bed while waiting for his clothes.
The pungent smell of the ointment on his body caused him to pucker his
eyebrows in disgust.
He waited and waited. Ten minutes passed and Xiao Rou still wasn’t
back.
Xu Que couldn’t wait anymore. Maybe Xiao Rou has called for men to
catch me? Damn it, this could be a big misunderstanding.
He quickly wrapped his blanket tightly around himself and jumped off the
bed, ran to the door and quietly pulled his door ajar.
Peering outside the house, he was indeed in a poor and small village.
On the opposite end, he could see a few similarly broken down old
houses. The streets were unpaved and filled with yellow, muddy sand,
making the area dusty.
However, this environment offered another outlook on life. Although

outdated and rural, one could live closer to nature. One could also
carefreely live their remaining days in this peaceful place.
At the same time, the town was unexpectedly quiet and the streets were
filled with no one.
Xu Que couldn’t care less about the beauty of the village. He hid behind
the door and looked around for villagers but there was nobody.
"This is weird. I could hear movements outside a while ago. How did the
village became deserted so shortly after Xiao Rou left?"
He started to frown, puzzling over the situation while getting ready to

open the door to check things out.
Not too far off, the sound of concentrated footsteps could be heard.
Clouds of sand dust could also be seen.
Several able-bodied villagers, armed with farming tools, were rushing

towards the house Xu Que was in.
Xu Que opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Damn, she really called for
the men to beat me up?
"Quick, we can’t let an animal hurt our village," a dark and strong man
shouted out.
Xu Que was speechless. Fuckers calling me an animal? Are they looking

for a fight?
"Bang!"
He kicked the door open, exposing his smooth and silky body covered
partially with a torn blanket. What an improper situation.
He started cursing at them. The men then froze with astonished looks on
their faces staring at Xu Que.
"Eh, little doll, why are you out of bed?"
"Yes, didn’t the physician say that your injuries were severe? Go lie
down and leave matters to us, the few of us will definitely get that
scoundrel out of the village."
"Yes, yes, yes. Quickly go rest and don’t catch a c old."
Xu Que was stumped and blankly reentered the house.
"Are you kidding? You guys are not here to beat me up? Damn it, I
thought you all were rushing to beat me up."
Since they weren’t here to scold me, who was the "animal" they were
talking about? And Xiao Rou still isn’t back. I’m in a difficult position
right now.
At this moment, Xu Que asked shockingly , "Hold on, what happened.

Where is Xiao Rou?"
The few men replied blanky, "What? Little doll, don’t you know what
happened?"
"A ferocious beast came down from the mountains to hunt us villagers
and got spotted by Xiao Rou who got everybody to help. The few of us
were doing work and didn’t know until the Wang family servant came
and told us. As a matter of fact, we were rushing to help out."
"Yes, yes, we have to go. Little doll, please hide in the house for the
time being and let us handle that animal. Let’s all whip us a beastly
feast tonight and have meat together."
The men finished then carried their hoes with high spirits before rushing
out to the village entrance.
"Wild beast?"
Xu Que was stunned and stood still. He came into realization, scanned
the house left and right and rushed towards a wooden wardrobe.
Amongst the mess of clothes, he pulled out a small, red cloth and
wrapped the private area between his legs. He then donned on his
blanket and scurried off to the village entrance.
He had decided to help without the knowledge of what kind of wild beast
it is. Needing this many men’s help, it must be unnatural.
Furthermore, since Xiao Rou was there too, it is a must to go. He could
also "act tough", if the situation allowed to earn some acting tough
points.
Xu Que was so quick that the blanket he donned fluttered with the wind.
The red cloth he wrapped around his lower body made hi m look like a
beggar version of a superhero of some sort.
Swoosh!
In a split second, Xu Que overtook those villagers, flashing past them

and giving them a scare.
"What the, how is this little doll running so quickly? He doesn’t even look
like he is injured!"
"Could it be possible that he is that High Disciple from Martial Sect?
…
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough
discreetly. The reward is five acting tough points."
The system beep sounded in his mind in his tracks, startling him
momentarily.
The fuck? When did I act tough?
Xu Que was stunned for a moment then regained his composure.

Discreetly acting tough? It turned out that I subconsciously acted tough
in front of the few villagers! And the reward was so high. 5 acting tough
points in a shot?
Looks like the old saying was right Discreet acting tough is the most
effective.
...
Very quickly, past the small road, there was a crowd not too far off.
Each and everyone gathered at the village entrance. Coming from them
were sounds of anger mixed with roars.
The sounds of anger were from the people and the roars were seemingly
from the wild beast.
Xu Que’s vision switched away from the crowd and in sight was a few
able-bodied men and a wild beast.
The wild beast’s frame was gigantic, akin to the size of a black ox,
looking very strong and ferocious. However, it had a tiger’s head. Its
roar was accompanied by sharp fangs and it was utterly terrifying and
overwhelming.
Despite it, the few men did not retreat holding the hoes while standing at
the front of the crowd, confronting with the wild beast.
Xu Que witnessed all these and shouted, "Let go of that beast!"

Swish!
In a moment, everybody’s attention was on him.
Busy adjusting his blanket, Xu Que added, "Let me h andle this!"
"Ah! Why are you here?", a shocked voice traveled from the crowd. It
was Xiao Rou.
The rest of the villagers knew Xu Que too. With a change in tone, they
exclaimed, "Kid, hurry back. If you move any closer, you will get hurt by
the wild beast again."
"Right! You are injured. Hurry back!"
Before Xu Que’s acting tough was completed, everybody gathered and

blocked his way. Xu Que urgently responded, "Fellow villagers and
elders, I do not have time to explain. Please let me handle this wild
beast."
However, the villagers did not understand and were determined to block
his path, insistently disallowing him to walk into his own death.
An elderly, leaning against his walking stick then walked out from the
crowd. He sincerely advised, "Little d oll! We all know that you have a
kind heart but with your tiny frame and your injury, how could you stand
a chance against the wild beast? Be good and don’t force yourself.
Look! The men are all already hurt by the wild beast."
Xu Que widened his eyes and proclaimed, "Everybody, I may look

skinny! But I have fought and challenged hundreds of wild beasts
before, ask Xiao Rou if you don’t believe."
"Ah?"
Xiao Rou was confused, didn’t you say dozens of wild beasts?
"Bang!"
Suddenly, sounds of agony could be heard.
Sand and dust filled the air at the village entrance. The countless
gathered men flew and within the dust, hints of blood could be seen
under the light.
The villagers in the midst of persuading Xu Que were shocked by the

sound. Their face changed when they turned around.
Within the gradually subsiding sand dust, an enormous pitch -black

figure emerged abruptly, roaring and dashing towards them!
"Roar!"
The roar sent an intimidating and terrifying atmosphere and everything

seemed to momentarily come to a standstill.
Xiao Rou who was standing at the front of the crowd, turned white.
Within her pupils, a pair of talons was increasingly becoming bigger...
A strong gust of wind swept the sand dust away, similar to a severe and
harsh winter winds revealing the icy cold floor, about to rip Xiao Rou’s
weak figure to shreds.
"Not good."
"Xiao Rou, escape!"
"Its over!"
The surrounding villagers cried out in alarm one after another as if they
had already witnessed her impending bloody doom.
During this event of life and death, a body akin to lightning swiftly
emerged from the crowd. He was wearing the "Red Underwear" and a
wind-flowing "Cape", valiantly dashing in Xiao Rou’s direction.
6 The Red Undergarment Of The Village Girl
Chapter 6: The Red Undergarment Of The Village Girl

The wild beast rushed towards Xiao Rou who seemed to have
abandoned all hope.
Her delicate frame trembled as she accepted her fate, shutting her eyes.
Will I die just like this? Death by those set of claws… do they hurt a lot?
...Oh?
I feel so light. Is this how death feels like? Doesn’t feel right…
Xiao Rou opened both of her eyes in doubt.
Between her eyes, a slim silhouette unknowingly appeared right in front

of her. The figure donned a familiar torn blanket as a cape,
unexpectedly holding back the enormous beast.
Xiao Rou was stunned!
H-How could this be possible?
He actually held the gigantic wild beast back with his obviously severe
injuries…
In this moment, Xiao Rou’s thoughts abruptly flashed back to yesterday

where she first saw Xu Que. Images of the miserable scene of him
drenched in blood appeared. But now, he is right in front of her,
protecting her without a care for his life.
Xiao Rou sniffed with tears filling up her eyes.
At the same time, the surrounding villagers who were unreactive to Xu

Que’s lightning fast speed were stumped at whatever he was doing now.
However, just witnessing the slim figure stopping the huge wild beast
caused the villagers to become deeply awestricken.
How is it possible that a person— injured to such an extent, can hold

back such a massive and ferocious beast?
"Roar!"
This time, the wild beast had let out a thunderous roar, snapping
everyone back into reality.
It lifted its gigantic beastly claws into the air while panting in rage before
abruptly bringing them down to the ground.
Everybody were startled and shocked as they screamed out,
"This is not good. Quickly retreat!"
"Little doll, escape!"
"Be careful…"
Xiao Rou was frightened too as she turns pale. She reached out her tiny
hands to try and pull Xu Que back but realized that she couldn’t move
an inch.
With Xu Que’s frame of skin and bones standing in the face of the huge
and immense beast, it looked like a clear match -up of the strong against
the weak.
Despite resisting the first attack by the beast, no one believed that he
was an even match for it.
Xu Que who had remained still the entire time, immediately lifted up his
right leg and kicked the wild beast.
"Thump!"
A cry of agony followed, stunning the crowd again.
The colossal and ferocious beast was kicked flying into the air and it
landed hard on the ground before sliding some distance from the impact
of the kick.
The villagers were astonished.
One… One kick and the beast flew? What kind of damned leg power
does he have? What leg strength?
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully subtly acting

tough. The reward is three act tough points."

tough. The reward is five act tough points."
The system beeped twice in a row but Xu Que co uldn’t care less on how
he scored twice. His one and only reason for being here was to save
Xiao Rou.
Because of that, he made use of his internal five-attributed spiritual Qi

and coherently executed his kick in an explosive manner.
However, he immediately felt vaguely that his legs were going numb.
The beast lying in front of him was by no means weak and was equipped
with a very thick hide. One kick would definitely not kill it under normal
circumstances.
"Fellow villagers, rest assured, this animal is mine!"

Xu Que gave a shout and rushed towards the beast, pinning its head on
the ground, giving it a thorough beating with a flurry of punches and
kicks.
Every punch and kick subtly contained Qi, causing the beast to wail and
howl in pain.
The villagers were dumbfounded, lifelessly witnessing this scene and

some of them couldn’t grasp the situation unfolding before their eyes.
The once seemingly gigantic and ferocious beast was beaten down to a
level of helplessness.
This feeling was identical to witnessing a muscular, able-bodied man

beaten into submission by a mumbling, small kid. Anybody would feel
dumbfounded watching this.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for defeating Tiger -Ox beast and
successfully acting tough. The reward is one act tough point."
"Ding! Congratulations to host "Xu Que" on defeating Tiger -Bull Beast.

Acquired 1200 experience."
"Whoosh!"
As the system beeped, Xu Que heaved a sigh of relief.
He conveniently lied down on the beast’s carcass as a rush of power

came into him. This was because every skin pore on his body opened up
and spiritual Qi flowed into him from all directions.
He felt stronger again.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on leveling up! Current stage is

Foundation Building Stage Level 1."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on entering Foundation Building

Stage. Rewarded with ‘Big Growth Gift Bag’ x 1. Every increase in a
stage entitles host to open gift bag once. Do you want to check its
contents?"
"Ding! Reminder for host ‘Xu Que’: your ski ll path, , Beginner’s Level
has already reached its peak, unable to train further. The leftover 200
experience points has already been deposited into the experience
deposit pool. Please purchase the intermediate level manual as soon as
possible."
Xu Que was stunned. One wild beast was already a thousand over
experience?
Damn! This is so much more worth it than eating Experience Pills!

Seems like I shall train on the mountains to level up in the future.
After consideration, Xu Que was ready to open the Big Growth Gift bag
for a look. All of a sudden, his body felt like it was emptied up. No, it’s
more like someone was lifting his body up.
He woke up into realization and found out that the villagers had lifted
him up. Everyone were brimming with smiles, mi xed with their
expressions of surprise.
They started cheering and threw Xu Que into the air, caught him, and
then threw him up again to celebrate his triumph over the beast.
An elderly shouted with a trembling voice, "Good , good, good, we have

a young hero!"
"Little brother, you have natural God-like powers! You’ll definitely make
it in the future."
"That’s right. The Village chief was right in saying that you are a hero, a
lucky star bestowed upon our village from the skies.!"
…
Amidst everyone’s cheers, Xu Que’s nickname was changed from "Little
Doll" to "Little Brother".
Xu Que started boasting shamelessly, "I am flattered. Everyone, I am

flattered. Nobody but I would dare to say, but I eat such wild beasts for
breakfast!"
Pow!
Xu Que was once again lifted into the air but this time, he felt cold. He
realized that the blanket cape on his back was missing. When he turned
his head to take a look, he realized that several brat kids took it off his
back.
He frantically covered his stomach and exclaimed, "Fellow villagers,

please close your eyes!"
Everybody was stunned as they witness the smooth and silky skin of Xu
Que. A few village ladies blushed at the sight and looked away.
Xiao Rou was shocked too and was going to cover up her eyes.
However, when she subconsciously saw the red cloth Xu Que tied
between his legs to cover his privates, she was stunned.
That red cloth… Why was it so familiar?
That embroidery on the read cloth… Why does it look... Similar to mine?
Ah!
Xiao Rou realised something,as she covered her mouth and blushed.
Even her ears were red. She then scurried away in embarrassment.
The villagers finally put Xu Que down after a long time.
One of the able-bodied men took the stolen blanket from the brats and
donned it again on him. He urged him to be careful not to catch a cold.
The old village chief holding a walking stick, ordered for clothes to be
fetched.
In the end, Xiao Rou ran back again, offering a set of light blue clothing.
She lowered her tiny head while blushing and s tuffed the clothes into Xu
Que’s hands. She then turned and ran away without saying a word.
Upon receiving the clothes, Xu Que wondered why Xiao Rou was so
often bashful and shy around him.
Could it be that I appeared too manly and strong as I defeated the beast
and caused the girl’s heart to be moved? Aiya! That’s… That’s making
me shy!
Looks like I have to continue acting tougher and tougher.
Amidst his hidden happiness, an aunt pointed at the piece of red cloth at
his private area and shockingly claimed, "Isn’t… Isn’t this the
undergarment An Xiu gave to Xiao Rou? Little Brother, why are you
wearing it?"
7 Amazing Skills
Chapter 7: Amazing Skills

The undergarment, as the name implied, was an old -style fabric worn by
ladies in the ancient times and was used to cover their chest area. It
was also called a tube top.
As he heard the aunt explaining, he became momentarily shocked.
Everybody thought that it was strange of him and under their judgeful
and disgusted expressions, he kept his pride and walked straight.
He used the patched-up blanket as a cape, enhancing his gusto and

bravery by draping it over his shoulders like a big general .
After a difficult walk to the entrance, he went back to the area of Xiao
Rou’s house. Xu Que’s face turned red as he stared down at himself.
His mind was wandering to Xiao Rou’s beautiful appearance and petite
figure.
Damn it! No, no, no. I can’t continue thinking of that. You sit back down
now and stop standing.
Xu Que scolded himself in his mind and pressed down his "little brother"
which was about to have a raging erection.
He quickly walked to a small pond in the distance, placed his clothes on

the shore and splashed into the water.
He was washing the medicinal ointment off his body and at the same
time, he was concentrating his thoughts back on the system.
He concentrated and opened the system. His personal stats were being
shown to him again.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Stage: Foundation Building Stage 1 (Small Progress)
Skill path: , Beginner’s Level
Job class: None
Position: Consort Prince of the East Wilderness, Fire Country
"I only have 25 acting tough points. When can I achieve the intermediate
level for my skill?" Xu Que sighed anxiously in his mind. At the same
time, he opened the system store and viewed the cultivation techniques
category.
He was stunned at what followed.
Previously, he didn’t notice the exchange goods in the system store that
much since he thought that they were too expensive and couldn’t afford
them yet.
But now, he realized that it wasn’t that the Skill path ’ intermedi ate
manual was expensive, but was because of the high skill level
requirement it needs. The high price was thus justifiable.
The system store categorized the skill paths into various classes,
ranking from highest to lowest classes.
The Yellow-rank skills required 1-5 acting tough points.
The Black-rank skills required 5-10 acting tough points.
The Earth class skills required 10-20 acting tough points.
But for the Sky-rank skills, the required acting tough points were more
than 20 points. All the way to as high as 200 points.
For the current Skill path he was training, the , for the pages at Sky-
rank, were of very premium value. The beginner to intermediate pages
of this skill each require 100 acting tough points but when he reach the
advanced writings, it costed a whole 200 acting tough points.
On top of that, there were other ranks besides the Sky, Earth, Black,
and Yellow-rank skills but they were locked up and the names cannot be
seen.
Xu Que tried to check those but instead received a system message,

"Host’s privilege level not sufficient. Skills are not available to you yet."
"Interesting!"
He didn’t lose hope. Instead, he felt more excited and looked forward to
seeing what this "Ultimate Acting Tough, Face-Slapping system" can do,
knowing that there were even higher ranked skills than the Sky-rank.
He reopened the Yellow-rank skills and something came to his mind.
Although I am currently training this skill , I am still lacking battle magic

skills which will benefit me in combat. I have to find a suitable skill to
train.
"Lone-Nine Swords? Fuck! This kind of skills are only Yellow -rank?" Xu
Que became increasingly astonished as he was browsing the skill
books.
But then he came into realization that this Lone-Nine Sword skill was a
battle skill from the
World of Heroes but he was right here in the World of Immortals! The
skill was no match for the immortals in this world.
He skipped the Yellow-rank skills and opened the Black-rank skills.
What caught his eye was a skill book and was goi ng for very cheap. It
costed only 5 acting tough points, and its description stated that this
skill required the use of internal forces but when combined with fire-
element spiritual Qi, its potential can be fully utilized and its power was
unmatched.
Xu Que’s eyelids jumped and became tempted. However, he suppressed

his impulsiveness and continued browsing other skills for now.
"Dark-Ice Sword Art? Uh, nah… Name doesn’t feel aggressive enough."
"Flame Magic?"
"Triple-Flamed Blade Art?"

"Wood-Element Skill? Golden-Quake Fist?"
"Damn it! All the names aren’t aggressive enough! How can I act tough
with those lame skill names?"
After a duration of continued browsing, Xu Que continued to shake his

head in disapproval.
Although all the skills costed as much as , he couldn’t care less about
the extent of its combat prowess. He determined since the start that the
name was the most important factor. The tougher the name of the skill,
the better it was for acting tough.
As he continued browsing, Xu Que was still unable to find a satisfactory

skill name. He might as well check the Earth class skills out.
"<> , , the hell!"
Xu Que almost jumped out of the pool he was in.
My God! This system also sold skills from previously famous novels and
each one costed only 10 acting tough points.
"Good. This is way too good!"
Xu Que was never this excited. He continued to browse the class and
each name he saw excited him even further.
Most of the skills from the Earth class were from the main characters in
novels. Damn, and even some skills of villains could be bought.
Originated from caster’s battle skill, low tier skill of Earth class. Once
mastered, the waves from the skill can split mountains and can move
along with the caster’s gestures!
Selling price: 10 acting tough points.

training, the caster can conjure a lake of magma anytime to use as a
source of power. If the caster has adequate physical power, he will be
able to ride freely on magma waves and create magma waves as well.
During training, if the casters discovers that magma no longer leaves a
mark on him, that means he has already reached the next level. Once
mastered, attack and defense will be one and once they are in balance,
no one will be able to touch the caster.
Selling price: 15 acting tough points
Originated from a page of an Immortal Arts book, high-tier skill of Earth

class.

present in the skies, entering into caster’s body and exponentially
increases the speed of gathering of one’s personal energy. This hard to
control but powerful magic causes lightning to directly enter the caster’s
body. Normal casters cannot tame this magic and therefore cannot train
with it.
Selling price: 20 acting tough points
Book by book, Xu Que was dazzled and he opened his mouth at the
sheer intensity of the descriptions.
There were so many kinds of skills from novels. Acting tough points
must be gained. Any skills here would intimidate the opponent.
However, to Xu Que, choosing one or two of these skills amongst this lot
was a chore.
Finally, he overcame his struggles and ultimately decided on a skill

book. One which was a high-level tier from the Earth class. Its name
was !
Why didn’t he choose Flame-Devouring Wave or Six Corporeal Forms?

Simple reason: not enough acting tough points!
After buying the skill, one must still buy the greatsword required. If not,
the skill cannot be used in its entirety.
Previously, he saw these greatswords being sold in the premium bundle

at the system store and the cheapest one went for 50 acting tough
points. How could he afford it?
Lightning energy magic is even worse due to having the need to wait for
Sky Lightning to descend to be able to train that skill. This was straight
away rejected by Xu Que.
As a result, he had no choice but to buy the skill as a defense skill. He

thought that he will be able to get the other skill books sooner or later.
Of course, this Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations wasn’t just a

casual pick. This skill was recognized by the system to be a high-level
Earth class skill, costing at 20 acting tough points, explaining its
possible potential to become powerful.
<>
The dragon soars over the four seas, erupting in nine main
transformations.
First form, energy is released. Obliterates the weak.
Second form, uses twice the amount of explosive energy. Obliterates the
weak.
Third form, uses thrice the amount of explosive energy. Obliterates the
weak.
Fourth form, uses four times the amount of explosive energy…
Ninth form, uses nine times the explosive energy, calls out the rain and
the winds and summons the Nine Dragons. Destruction will be
otherworldly.
Xu Que was clear that the nature of such power was unimaginable and a
force to be reckoned with in any universe.
Hence, Xu Que chose this skill book as it is the best option for self-
protection and repelling enemies, especially now that he wasn’t fully
trained up yet.
"Ding! Do you want to exchange for ?"
"Yes!" Xu Que responded.
"Swoosh!"
At the same time, a ray of golden light flashed past his eyes as he felt a
chill down his spine.
When he reopened his eyes, he could feel the knowledge of a new skill.
He felt reborn but it didn’t felt strange to him at all.
Opening up his character page, there were some changes:
Host : Xu Que
Cultivation Level: Foundation Building Stage Level 1 (Small progress)
Acting Tough Points: 5 points
Cultivation Technique:
, Beginner Level
Ability: (Progress 0%, Controls up to First form)
Job Class: None
Contently nodding, Xu Que rubbed his chin and felt that this 20 acting
tough points was worth it.
For the 5 acting tough points left, he decided to not touch it for the time
being. In the event he became injured again, he could use those points
to add into his regeneration rate.
Once these were done, Xu Que proceeded to open his system package
again, his heart was filled with anticipation
That Big Growth Gift bag. What exactly is in it?

8 Big Growth Gift Pack
Chapter 8: Big Growth Gift Pack

The system’s inventory worked the same as the ones in gaming

interfaces. The contents of the packs were all stored in the inventory
grids. On the other hand, the valuable skills he had previously stolen
from the Celestial Sect safe were all transferred in another deposit
storage.
Xu Que stared at the pack, labelled "Big Growth Gift Pack" and grinned
from ear to ear.
According to the description on the "Big Growth Gift Pack", he roughly

understood its usage.
Every increase with cultivation level, he will get a shot at opening a gift
pack.
Which means that, after he opens it this time, the next time he could
open another one was after the Foundation Building Stage, which was
the Core Bearing Stage and another time would be at the Golden Core
Stage.
In addition, every time he opened the gift pack, he could get many
useful random item prizes.
Xu Que felt that his luck today wasn’t that bad and decided to open the
gift pack.
Do you want to open the "Big Growth Gift Pack"? The system asked.
"Yes." Xu Que’s reply lacked confidence due to him feeling a little

nervous.
What prize could it be? A pretty lady as my bodyguard ? A divine
equipment? Or even a strong old man as a combat companion were
viable options!
With intense anticipation, the system flashed past several rays of light,
followed by sounds of the system message beeps.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on unlocking a new privilege.

‘Recycling Function’ activated."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on acquiring ‘Disguise Puppet’ x

1."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on acquiring ‘Beginner’s Divine

Escape Emblem’ x 1."
Xu Que was shocked. What the hell? Where is my beautiful female

bodyguard? My divine equipment? My old grandpa companion?
All these crap and they dare to call this a big gift pack?
All his three wishes went down the drain.
Xu Que was very disappointed but he continued to focus his attention on

the "Disguise Puppet" in the inventory.
[Disguise Puppet]: Disguises as another party with 100% accuracy and

copies any posture or habits. However, the strength is not copied.
Duration: 2 hours. (Disguise targets are limited to Infant Transformation
Stage Cultivation Stages and below.)"
"Damn! A typical device for acting tough!" Xu Que exclaimed.
From his memories of the Consort Prince, he was very clear on the
happenings of this Cultivation stage.
It starts from Qi Refining Stage followed by these 9 different Cultivation

Stages: Foundation Building Stage, Core Bearing Stage, Golden Core
Stage, Original Infant Stage , Infant Transformation Stage, Void Training
Stage, Body Unity Stage, Crossing Calamity Stage, and Mahayana, the
Great Vehicle Stage.
There were a total of 10 Cultivation Stages and every Cultivation Stage

is split into another 10 smaller sub-levels.
Therefore, the Infant Transformation Stage is considered very strong in

this universe. An example is the current emperor of the Fire Country
who is in the Infant Transformation Stage. The clan leader of Celestial
Sect is also said to be of the Infant Transformation Stage.
With this[Disguise puppet], Xu Que thought that if he could disguise as

an Infant Transformation Stage individual, he could act tougher and gain
even more act tough points!
"Too bad this item only lasts for 2 hours. If only it can last for a year or
longer." He shook his head in regret and focused again in his inventory.
In the inventory, other than the piece of "Beginner’s Divine Escape

Emblem" and the "Big Growth Gift Pack", there was nothing else.
"Oh, I almost forgot. The first item from the Gift Pack wasn’t an item.
Was it a recycling function of some sort?" Xu Que slapped his head,
suddenly realizing something and then commanded the system, "Quickly
run me through the new function I just got."
"Ding! ‘Recycling Function’ provides you with a recycling service. Any

weapons, potions, skills, etc. can be recycled by the system, converts it
to back to an Essence of the corresponding item category and refunds
back to you. Valuable items can be directly converted into act tough
points. Below shows the explanation in detail…"
After repeated explanations from the system, Xu Que finally grasped the
new function.
It said recycling but "swallowing items" seemed to be a more suitable
word.
In summary, if we give a flying sword to the system, it will dismantle the

item, recreates an Essence equivalent to the item rank and stores it in
the equipment-refining Essence pool, which can be used to raise the
rank of other equipments.
If a medicinal item was recycled by the system, it will be converted into

a medicine-refining Essence and similarly be stored in the medicine -
refining essence pool which can be used to rais e the quality and purity
of medicine and spirit potions.
However, if a skill path technique was being recycled, it will be

converted to a skill-refining Essence which can speed up the mastery of
skill levels. On the other hand, the essence cannot be used in human
cultivation stages and above.
Simply put, Xu Que’s training of "Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations"

can be quickly leveled up by the use of these skill-refining essence.
However, it cannot be used on the "Ancient Five Elemental Arts" as that
counts as training a skill path and this can only be done in humanoid
and above Cultivation Stages
Even after reading all the explanations, Xu Que wanted to shout

"Bullshit".
Originally, he wanted get rid of the magic and skills he had previously
stolen from the Celestial Sect safe due to him having too many and he
absolutely cannot use them up all by himself.
Any how, thanks to this recycling function, his powers would level up
easily.
Besides, he wasn’t in a rush to get rid of the stuff he stole. He has to

find some time to adequately filter out what he needed and whatnot
before selling those he doesn’t need to earn some silver and spirit
stones.
Besides, in this cultivation stage, silver and spirit stones are used for
daily transactions. It would be wise to hold on to some currency for
emergency use.
"Huff! No matter what happened, this round of opening was quite fruitful
after all."
Xu Que breathed out as his face brimmed with a smile for he was filled
with joy.
His "Little Brother" had also calmed down. Xu Que proceeded to unwrap
the red undergarment and gave it a thorough wash.
With nobody around, he quickly climbed upshore, shooked his body dry
and changed into the light blue coarse hemp clothes given by Xiao Rou.
He also bundled up his long and jet black hair with a towel.
He looked refreshed and neat, armed with a smile backed with a

composed and gentle temperament.
His nature occurred from the fact that he was a Prince Consort in the
palace, living the royal life for the past six years and also drinking many
types of immortal elixirs. The mere coarse hemp clothes couldn’t mask
his royal persona.
Xu Que was pleased with his current and new appearance. He strongly
felt that if he was on Earth, his style would be unique and would top
even the world of the entertainment industry.
Holding on to Xiao Rou’s red undergarment, Xu Que headed off in the

direction of her house.
On the road, he met several villagers who were all giving him a smile of
respect for courageously defeating the wild beast.
Xu Que reacted by shyly smiling, waving his hand while humbly

expressing that he will defeat any amount of wild beasts.
All the villagers gave him a thumbs up of approval.
However, when everyone directed their attention on the red

undergarment, they gave him winks while revealing meaningful smiles.
Xu Que lifted his head up high, stood upright akin to a nobleman and
advanced in high spirits.
One of the bratty kids, while wiping his snot, shouted, "Big Brother, my
mum said that the cloth in your hands are ca lled undergarments and
they are female-only!"
Villagers laughed in harmony and added, "Little Brother, don’t take it

seriously. He is only a kid and doesn’t know much. We wholeheartedly
understand your plight."
Understand your sister!
Xu Que slightly grinned from the corner of his mouth and fled.
Damn it! That embarrassment this time is overwhelming.
Luckily, the villagers here were all friendly and kind -hearted and didn’t
misunderstand him as an undergarment stealer. My reputation is at
stake here!
Xu Que tearfully went back to Xiao Rou’s house.
"Creak!", the wooden door was pushed open.
Xiao Rou was holding onto the blanket that he had worn, preparing to
wash it. The blanket had to be washed as it was still stuck with the smell
of his pungent ointment.
Yet, the moment she saw Xu Que, her whole face flushed red again,
especially since he was holding on to her undergarment. She almost
wanted to run back into her house to hide.
Xu Que ran over, took the blanket from her hands, and mockingly said,
"Let me do it. You should leave such manual labor to me."
After finishing his sentence, he sneaked the undergarment onto Xiao

Rou’s hands.
She blushed even more and stuttered.
Xu Que wanted to reply but a loud noise came from the direction of the
village entrance and in between the noises, there were sounds of
bickering, similar to that of people arguing.
Xu Que momentarily frowned and thought: "Oh no. Could it be that the
wild beast is back? Xiao Rou, wait here and I will check it out."
He finished and dashed off towards the entrance.
"Hold on…"
Xiao Rou promptly called out but Xu Que was already gone.
She bit down on her lip and kept the undergarment. She then followed
Xu Que since she was worried.
9 The Strength Of The Dragon Is Unparalleled
Chapter 9: The Strength Of The Dragon Is Unparalleled

At this moment...
Pan Shan Village entrance.
Several villagers were crowded near the wild beast’s dead carcass.
They were armed with hoes, their faces filled with hatred and reluctance
as they stared at a group of men on the opposing side.
The dozen of men across them didn’t look like local Pan Shan villagers
and the head of the group was a tough and stocky built man— his hand
held a big wood chopper. He resembled a devilish fiend.
Facing the Pan Shan villagers, he shouted: "If you all don’t get out of
the way, don’t blame me, the Big Panther, for being ruthless!"
Pan Shan villagers rebuked, "You Water Back villagers are too much.
We, the villagers brought the Tiger-Ox beast down and you people dare
to claim it as your kill?"
Big Panther sneered, "You are asking me why do I dare to claim this
kill? Let me tell you people, this Tiger-Ox beast ran here from our village
and was by all means our village’s responsibility. Now that it’s been
killed by you people, you all are lucky that I didn’t ask for any
compensation. Yet you still dare to claim it as yours?"
"What a load of shit! The mountains are full of the Tiger -Ox. What proof
do you have that it came from your village? You people are open -
snatching our kill."
"Hehe… So what if I am snatching? I will definitely do it and those wh o

don’t agree can fight me!" Big Panther laugh sarcastically and waved the
big chopper aggressively, creating sounds from slashing the air.
The Pan Shan villagers momentarily blanked out and inevitably

retreated a few steps.
This Big Panther was from the neighbouring Water Back village. He was
the son of the village’s chief. He possessed godly latent talent, trained
in a Martial arts school and learned the Kung Fu. His skills were top
notch.
The Pan Shan villagers who were up against him were slightly te rrified.
"Hehe… are you all scared? Just obediently hand over the beast and
save the beating." Big Panther mockingly laughed.
Still, the Pan Shan villagers were insistent on not giving way and stood
their ground in front of the beast carcass.
One of them timidly spoke out, "The tribute day is only in a few days and
if this time we don’t meet up to the immortal elders expectations, we will
be duly punished. We absolutely cannot afford to give way."
"That’s right. We’ll all die anyway. Might as well fight it out with Big
Panther."
"Right! Men, let’s hold the front and quickly go find others to help us."
"Yes." One of them immediately nodded, turned and dashed towards the
inner village.
Big Panther couldn't care less and jeered at the fact that one of them
dashed to ask for backup.
"Hehe... it’s no use even if you ask for help."
"You Pan Shan village have less than 20 men and you people are
obviously no match for Panther boss. Why do you all resist?"
"Argh! You all are such ignorant fools!"
The Water Back villagers ridiculed them continuously.
Big Panther also followed with grim laughs. He waved his large knife,
rested it on his shoulder and said:
"You people dare to call for help? Looks like you guys don’t know my
prowess unless I show you my blade skills."
Without another second’s delay, Big Panther dashed towards the

defenseless villagers.
That big chopper looked at least 50 over kilograms but did not affect his
speed in the slightest bit.
In a split second, he rushed in front of the villagers and swung his sword
towards them.
The few villagers’ expression fell as they hurriedly lifted up their hoes
and positioned it in front of them.
However, with Big Panther’s natural god strength, he swung his blade,
causing a loud "Bang" sound, breaking the villager’s hoes and knocking
all of them flying off their feet.
"Pom!"
Akin to being knocked back by a wild beast, the few villagers landed on
the ground with a thud. Their faces became pale and coughed out fresh
blood.
A mere blade was able to cause these few able-bodied men to sustain
heavy damage.
The Water Back villagers momentarily cheered together.
"Nice! Boss Panther, nice shot!"
"What earth-shaking power!"
"Haha! Pan Shan villagers don’t know what’s good for them. With our
boss’ godly powers, he can even take down God or Buddha."
"Yeah! We tried to be nice but you all didn’t take the offer. We guess
that all of you had incurred our boss’ wrath?"
Big Panther loved the ongoing flattery by his fellow villagers, growing
complacent by the minute.
"Screw your dog shit of a mother! What kind of trash dare to make
trouble at MY Pan Shan Village? Is he courting death?"
Angry yelling could be heard. The Water Back villagers’ boastful

celebration was ended prematurely.
Big Panther’s expression changed and directed his attention towards the
village entrance.
What he saw was a figure with a coarse hemp clothing with a head
wrapped with a white towel, resembling that of a handsome looking
young man advancing towards them.
Xu Que has arrived!
While on his way, he had already seen Big Panther clashing with the few
villagers and saw them fly. He was furious.
Damn you! How dare you bastards bully these humble villagers. And you
are doing it infront of me, Xu Que.
"Little Doll, were you scolding me?"
After witnessing Xu Que’s skinny frame, Big Panther moody expression

momentarily revealed a sinister grin.
Xu Que laughed sarcastically, "Don’t worry, it wasn’t only you. I was

referring to the whole lot of them too. Utter trash."
The scene was oddly familiar.
The injured villagers were stunned and while staring blankly at Xu Que,
they felt thankful.
What a mouth on this little guy! He is able to scold someone with such
sincerity.
Following was the group of Water Back villagers bursting out in anger,
pointing at Xu Que while cursing.
"Bitch!"
"Son of a bitch! Where did this little doll come from, is he looking to
die?"
"Boss, this chap is asking for it. Let us take care of it."
While scolding, they pulled up their sleeves, ready to brawl with Xu Que
at any minute.
"Young… Young master, don’t be rash!"
A petite silhouette can be seen scurrying towards the entrance and

worriedly shouting from afar.
Xu Que turned and looked. It was Xiao Rou.
The Water Back villagers saw Xiao Rou and were stunned.
"What a fresh-looking lady!"
"What the hell? Since when did Pan Shan village have such beautiful
women?"
"The person who marries this lady is damned lucky."
The Water Back villagers were discussing amongst themselves.
Big Panther’s eyes glittered and thirstily stared at Xiao Rou, "Heheh...
turns out that Pan Shan village have such a fresh lady hidden. I must
take her back to my village."
Xiao Rou was frightened pale and instinctively hid behind Xu Que.
Pulling his sleeves, she whispered, "Young… Young master, don’t be
rash. Someone had already called second brother Leng and others for
help."
"Don’t be scared!"
Xu Que warmly smiled. He reached out his hand and gently rubbed the
top of her head. He replied softly, " These people were spouting bullshit.
Let me teach them a lesson!"
"Ba-dum, ba-dum.", Xiao Rou froze and her tiny heart was beating
quicker by the second.
When she regained her composure, she found out that Xu Que had
already sped off, moving further and further.
"Don’t!" Xiao Rou cried out.
Still, Xu Que was already waving his fists in front of Big Panther,
bearing a cold, icy grin at the side of his lips.
Initially, I was wrecking my brains on where to test the prowess of my

Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations and since you people have shown
up looking for trouble, I might as well test it.
"Boom!"
Upon fully releasing the the Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformation skill,
Xu Que’s body abruptly emitted a ‘Bang’ sound, with Water-element
spiritual Qi activating all over his body. A dragon was shaped and sent
upwards from the dantian.
"Hmph! Ignorant little prick, I’ll destroy you!"
Big Panther let out a war cry, lifted his big chopper and dashed in Xu
Que’s direction.
The next moment, he was scared stiff.
He could only see a faint, blue light aura rushing from Xu Que’s body
hovering into the air, forming a gigantic, blue dragon. The dragon was
baring its fangs and branding its claws while circling above Xu Que in a
spiral motion.
A tremendous feeling of dominance and arrogance emitted from the

dragon, enveloping the whole area.
"Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations, first form!"
Xu Que deeply groaned, clenched his fist and sent it towards Big
Panther’s big chopper.
"Wail~"
Along with the power of the dragon, his fist landed heavily at th e tip of
the blade.
Next, a trembling "Dang" could be heard and the chopper broke on the
spot.
Like a broken kite, Big Panther was sent flying. He spat out fresh blood,
flew in a parabolic motion before finally landing heavily on the ground.
He twitched twice and stopped moving.
Everybody was flabbergasted. The scene was in a gloomy state as

everything went silent.
10 Recycling Function
Chapter 10: Recycling Function

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on defeating Big Panther and

successfully acting tough. The reward is 10 act tough points."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on defeating Big Panther. The

reward is 400 experience points."
The system beep sounded in his head.
Xu Que froze.
What the, I… killed someone?
Xu Que felt rather astonished as he only wanted to test the power of

Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations. He was surprised at the fact that
it took merely one punch in the first form to brutally kill Big Panther who
had a natural God-like strength.
"Dragon… This… This is a dragon alright!"
Suddenly, a feeble, trembling voice filled with an expression of fear,

could be heard.
Then, the group of Water Back villagers uniformly knelt on the ground
with terrified looks as they tremble in fear. They faced Xu Que and
pleaded:
"Ah! Immortal elder, immortal elder! Please have mercy!"
"We were ignorant, immortal elder, please forgive us and let us live!"
Eh? What’s this?
Xu Que froze for a moment.
"Puff!" "Puff!"
Before he even knew it, he could hear muffled sounds coming from
behind him.
Xu Que turned around to look and was stunned.
Several Pan Shan villagers, without a care for their injuries, also knelt
down along with frightened faces and begged for mercy.
Back at Xiao Rou who froze in her tracks, she had her eyes filled with
utter fear.
How could this be?
Xu Que couldn’t swallow the dramatic turn of events. It was

understandable that the Water Back villagers were kneeling down to him
but witnessing the Pan Shan villagers kneeling to him was intolerable.
Especially Xiao Rou whose eyes were filled with fear. Xu Que was
crushed.
"Fellow villagers, what are you all doing, get up! I am only dealing with
these bad guys. I have no intention to harm you people!"
He quickly dispersed his Qi, followed by the abrupt disappearance of the

dragon figure around him. He faced the Pan Shan villagers and called
out.
The villagers continued to kneel with the same petrified faces. All of
them are too scared to speak.
Xu Que panicked, looked at Xiao Rou and said, " Wh-What is

happening? Tell the villagers to rise! I don’t mean any harm."
Xiao Rou regained her attention. After that, she looked at Xu Que with
fright and replied, "You… You are an immortal cultivator…"
"What immortal cultivator!? I am the same as you people. We are all

human!"
Xu Que was astonished. Was being a cultivator this scary? It seemed

like they were worshipping an entity of deity of some sort."
"Xiao Rou, don’t be afraid. I really mean them no harm. Tell me, what
exactly is happening?"
"Really?" Xiao Rou spoke timidly.

"Of course!" Xu Que nodded.
Upon the reply, she became less pale from being frightened and
regained her composure.
Following that, she explained to Xu Que regarding the immortals.
It turned out that to the east of the Pan Shan and Water Back village,
there was a group of cultivators called the Celestial Sect.
It also turned out that in a hundred kilometer radius, all villages,

including the Pan Shan and Water Back villages were under protection
by the Celestial Sect.
However, the villages had to offer ration once a month . If a particular

village had killed a wild beast, they can use the core of the beast to
replace the ration tribute.
If under any circumstances, they have neither enough demon cores nor
ration to tribute, the village will come under punishment.
Celestial Sect’s people will personally come to the village and capture
several men and bring them up into the mountains. No one will know
how and when they died, without any trace.
That was the reason the villagers were so afraid of cultivators.
After hearing the explanation, Xu Que was brimming with rage.
It was clear to him that the Celestial Sect were bullies. They took
advantage of the fact that they were cultivators to extort from the
villagers, causing them to live in fear.
"You people never thought of revolting before?"
Xu Que couldn’t help but ask but when the words came out of his mouth,
he felt that he just gave himself a slap in the face.
It was a stupid question. No matter how weak, the people of Celestial

Sect would at least have trained and went through the Qi Refining Stage
and would have honed their skills to a certain level. The villagers
wouldn’t have a chance to defeat them.
"We wouldn’t dare…" Xiao Rou nodded and replied. She did not — in any
way, thought that Xu Que’s question was stupid.
Feeling disappointed with himself, Xu Que leaned towards Xiao Rou and
said, "Xiao Rou, I’ll go back home first. Please help to tell the villagers
that I am unapproving of the Celestial Sect people. Tell them to get up
and not be afraid of me. I really mean no harm to the village."
On his way, he met the several men along with the rest. They were late.
They saw him and panickedly asked, "Little brother, are you hurt? What
happened to Big Panther and company?"
"Ah, I believe you!" Xiao Rou nodded profusely and not as afraid of him
as before.
This made Xu Que heave a sigh of relief. He looked ahead at the Water
Back villagers briefly and said, "Oh yes Xiao Tou, continue to let those
Water Back people kneel. Tell them not to go until the Sun has set."
After telling her what to do, Xu Que left for the inner part of the village,
where men were gathered ready to deal with the Water Back Villagers.
Xu Que blocked their path and shouted out, "Fellow villagers, there is no
need to go anymore. I have already taught them a good lesson and
ordered them to kneel and reflect on their actions."
"Ah, really?" the villagers shockingly asked.
Xu Que laughed and replied, "Of course, it’s true. I can even defeat the
wild beast. Big Panther is nothing!"
The villagers became cheerful by the minute and exclaimed, "That’s
Little brother for you!"
"Eh ya! I’m flattered." Xu Que laughed widely. He loved these moments
of subtly acting tough.
Back to Xiao Rou’s home, Xu Que immediately laid on the small,

wooden bed and let out a perplexed sigh.
He supposed that he cannot talk on such relaxed terms with the men
after they discover his identity. They would be too scared to speak with
him casually.
"Hai, never mind, I suppose. I won’t be here forever anyway. After I help
them on this tribute issue, I will be out of here. I have to explore this
vast realm."
"Xu Que regained his spirit and immediately sat up on the bed.
He rolled his eyes to signal the system.
Immediately, the character information interface popped up in front of

him.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Stage: Foundation Building Stage Level 1 (Small progress)
Skill Path: <>, Beginner’s Level
Ability: <> (Progress 0.1%, Control up to First form)
Job class: None

"Eh, the progress of Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations became

0.1%? Is it because I just used it?"
Xu Que let out a shocked expression. Apparently, the skill could be

progressed via usage. However, the speed of progression is rather slow.
He was unpleased with it.
After feeling down for a bit, he immediately opened his deposit space
and shifted his attention to the bunch of magic and skills he had stolen
from the Celestial Sect safe.
"A good time to give the recycling function a try." Xu Que thought aloud
and started scanning through the skill descriptions.
"Lightweight art, eh. I could use that. Shall keep it." The first skill book
he saw was Celestial Sect’s foundational skill . Xu Que recalled that he
had yet to train on a martial stance type of skill and became excited in
the moment.
He continued browsing and saw many Celestial Sect related skills.
"Fire Cloud Fist, Flame Slash, Dark Fire Sword Art… None of them looks
useful!"
He browsed ten different skills and shook his head in disapproval one
after another.
After all, I am in the Fire Country and cultivators here mostly have fire-
nature spiritual root. People mostly train with fire -related skills.
However, Xu Que felt that all these skills were too common and weren’t
Celestial Sect’s real deal. He decided to keep the Lightweight art skill
book and the rest were recycled by the system.
"Ding! Recycling of successful. Acquired 3 points of Skill Essence."

"Ding! Recycling of…"
11 Crisis Descends
Chapter 11: Crisis Descends

A short moment after, the tens of skill books which originated from the
Celestial Sect’s treasure room were all recycled by Xu Que. His deposit
storage grids were also mostly cleared up.
Furthermore, this round of recycling also caused some changes to his

character information.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Stage: Foundation Building Stage Level 1 (Small progress)
Skill Path: , Beginner’s Level
Ability: (Progress 0.1%, Control up to First form)
Essence: Skill (530 points)
Job class : None

An additional description message "Essence" was added.
A number of skill books have all been converted into 530 points of Skill
Essence but Xu Que didn’t know if this number was considered large or
small.
After muttering to himself for a moment, he operated the system and

used 10 points worth of Skill Essence on "Soaring Dragon Nine
Transformations". At the same time, a system message popped up in his
head.
"Ding! Consumed 10 Skill Essence points. ‘Soaring Dragon Nine

Transformations’ rank up successful. Current progress: 10%."
"Ding! Congratulations to host on successfully reaching ‘Soaring Dragon

Nine Transformations’ second form."
Wow! Dang… 10 Skill Essence Points is able to improve the progress to

10%?
That immediately improved Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations to the

second form. Damn! I’ve earned it big this time.
Xu Que’s heart was overfilled with joy.
At this moment, he used another 90 Skill Essence points on "Soaring

Dragon Nine Transformations".
"Ding! Consumed 90 Skill Essence points. ‘Soaring Dragon Nine

Transformations’ rank up successful. Current progress: 100%."
"Ding! Congratulations to host on successfully mastering ‘Soaring

Dragon Nine Transformations’. All nine forms can now be controlled."
Hong!
Xu Que momentarily felt his insides erupting and welling up as if

something was trying to escape from his body.
Following that, he could vaguely hear a hiss of a dragon, seemingly from

the inside of his body.
Xu Que opened his eyes wide and quickly focused his attention listening
to the sound.
However, everything seemed to return to normal. He didn’t feel any

difference and the sound of the dragon’s hiss also ceased.
"An illusion?" Xu Que frowned in suspicion.
"Dong! Dong!"
The small wooden door was being knocked, following a "creak" and a
slow push on the door.
Xiao Rou had returned.
"Young mas... Immortal elder…" Xiao Rou looked at Xu Que while she
turned wary and fearful as if she didn’t know how to address Xu Que as
anymore.
Xu Que smiled, "Xiao Rou, you don't have to be so formal. I am the

same as everyone. The only difference is that I have trained a little.
Also, since I am older, you can call me Brother Xu Que?"
Xiao Rou pursed up her lips and contemplated for a moment. Her face
then started to blush and she nodded, "Eh, Brother Xu Que, I… I spoke
with the villagers a while ago, but..."
But they were not able to accept the fact?
Without the need for Xiao Rou’s explanation, Xu Que already guessed
what she was saying next.
He anticipated this to happen and wasn’t surprised at all.
"Ah, no big deal!" He shrugged his shoulders an d spoke nonchalantly.
Xiao Rou walked to his front and earnestly explained, "I believe that you
are good person."
Xu Que felt guilty.
Good guy? He didn’t think that he was good at all!
He felt that he could merely differentiate between the right and wrong
things to do.
For example, bullying these kind-hearted and well-natured villagers was

something he would never do.
Though in the case of those Water Back village tyrants and even for
those Celestial Sect scums, he would be more than happy to kick their
asses.
After two days...
Xu Que was still residing in the village and Xiao Rou had given her room
up for him. As a result, she would be temporarily staying in one of the
widow’s house located opposite of her home.
During these few days, whenever the villagers saw him, although they
did not kneel to him like previously, their actions revealed that they were
respectful to him in a reverent manner.
They will bow to him every time and ask, "Good day immortal elder, do
you have any orders?"
This made Xu Que uneasy which ultimately made him choose to stay at
home, learning and honing the usage of the system.
However, on this day, Xiao Rou ran in the house all of a sudden.
Neglecting her rest, she said in a panic, "Brother Xu Que, you must go
quickly."
Xu Que was taken aback, "What happened?"
Xiao Rou anxiously warned, "Big brother Da Zhuang just returned from
town and said that many immortals were holding drawings of you. It
seems like you are wanted by them. On his way, he witnessed the Water
Back villagers revealing your secret to them. The chief has ordered me
to tell you to leave the town before it’s too late."
"I’m wanted?"
God damn it! It must be those people from Celestial Sect.
Xue Que became furious immediately.
Coming to this world, he had inevitably offended the people of Celestial

Sect.
On top of that, he emptied their treasure safe. They definitely won’t

leave it at that.
"Brother Xu Que, you have to leave quickly. Those immortals have the
ability to fly and they will get here in no time ." Xiao Rou urged anxiously
while helping him prepare his belongings.
Xu Que quickly held her tiny hands and shook his head, "Xiao Rou, I
cannot go. If I go, what will happen when those immortals start
interrogating all of you?
"It’s alright. The chief said that those immortals will not do that. Besides,
everyone had already gone into the underground cellar to hide. Follow
me."
Xiao Rou finished and immediately grabbed Xu Que’s hand as they

dashed out.
Xu Que frowned a little and followed her towards a small cottage near
the end of the village.
The cottage was old and broken down. Upon entering, Xu Que could
smell a tinge of moldy air as if it had been vacant for many years.
Xiao Rou then walked towards a cabinet. As if she was very familiar with
it, she opened it and a path leading to an underground passage was
revealed.
Xu Que froze and couldn’t believe that there were such things in this
small village.
"This underground cellar was dug out by everyone to avoid the

immortals from taking any of us away. This path leads to the foot of a
mountain. Big brother Da Zhuang and the guys are all inside. Follow
me."
Xiao Rou was holding Xu Que’s hand while explaining as both of them
are heading in.
Upon hearing her say that the fellow villagers were all inside, he had no
objections and followed her lead.
Although shabbily dug, the underground passage seems solid and

spacious. After some walking, they appeared in front of a crowd.
More than 10 villagers were hiding inside.
Upon seeing Xu Que, everybody harmoniously greeted with respect,

"Greetings, immortal."
"Eh?"
Xu Que suddenly realized that there was something amiss. The number
of people weren’t right!
"Where are the others? Why aren’t they here inside?" He anxiously
asked.
Xiao Rou then explained, "The village chief and other men are guarding
the outside. The immortal cultivators will be suspicious if there is nobody
at all. Brother Xu Que, please go quickly. Don’t… Don’t come back ever
again."
"No way! I absolutely won’t leave." Xu Que exclaimed on the spot.
He knew that if he were to leave, the innocent villagers will definitely

become targets of interrogation.
Xiao Rou panicked, "Listen to me. If you don’t leave, they will kill you."
"Yes! Immortal. When we went to town, we saw those wanted post ers of
you. It wrote that if anyone sees you, they are allowed to kill you on the
spot. They only require your corpse to be brought to the Celestial Sect."
Da Zhuang warned.
The other villagers also continuously warned Xu Que to leave at once.
Unfazed, Xu Que felt that with his knowledge of the system and his
successful honing of the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations to its
pinnacle, if he were to activate his ninth form, even Core Bearing Stage
cultivators would have no chance and will be slaughtered b y him. There
was nothing to fear.
The only worry was that if the old woman from the Celestial Sect
appears. If that was the case, he would have no choice but to use the
last "Beginner’s Divine Escape Emblem" and bring everybody away from
the battlefield.
"Bang!"
This time, a loud noise came from the outside and Xu Que could feel a
wave of large tremor under his feet. It seems as if there was a forest
landslide outside.
Following this, what seemed like an angry scolding could be heard from
the outside, "What impudence! Where the hell is he? You better quickly
hand him over!"
12 Sometimes, Toughness Doesn“t Have To Be

Feigned!
Chapter 12: Sometimes, Toughness Doesn't Have To Be Feigned!

The faces of the villagers within the underground cellar turned.
"Not good! The immortals are all coming."
Even Xiao Rou looked flustered as she turned towards Xu Que.
"Brother Xu Que, hurry and flee. If you don’t leave now, there might not
be another chance."
"That’s right! Xiao Rou is correct. You have to leave quickly and stop
delaying it."
"Immortal Elder, please leave. We can hold onto them."
"That’s right! They’re no big deal. We can all fight and resist them…"
Everyone started urging him anxiously.
Xu Que’s heart skipped a beat!
These simple-minded villagers didn’t think of selling him out and

betraying him when crisis struck. Instead, they were willing to risk their
lives for him to flee.
At such a crucial point, if he were to greedily and selfishly run away,

would he still be considered a man?
"Boom!"
Another loud sound rang out, causing the entire cellar to tremble. It felt
as though the entire cellar could crumble down any moment as pieces of
debris loosened and fell to the ground.
Sounds could be heard coming from outside as well.
"All of you insects, you have the audacity!"
"All of you are mere mortals and yet you dare to protect and hide the
person we’re searching for?!"
Following those shouts, the pleas of the villagers outside could be heard
from within the cellar.
"Immortal Elders, please spare us! We real ly don’t know where he’s
gone to."
"Yes, Immortal Elders. As soon as we woke up, we’ve not seen him. He
already departed from here."
"Hm… then you only have to blame your poor luck. Kill them all!"
"Immortal Elders, please spare us!"
"Ah!!!"
"No!!!"
"Ah! Village chief!"
Soon after, the anguished cries of agony wafted into the underground
cellar.
Fuck!
Cultivators, cultivate your sisters!
How could you bear to kill these innocent and simple villagers!
I shall fight it out with you guys and kill you to repay for the lives you’ve
taken!
Xu Que clenched his fists, his entire body was trembling in fury. He was
thoroughly pissed.
He turned around immediately before dashing upstairs.
"Brother Xu Que, you can’t go!"
Xiao Rou and the rest of the villagers couldn’t react in time to restrain
him and were too late.
Since she couldn’t do anything about it, Xiao Rou bit her lips before
chasing after him as well.
"Xiao Rou, what are you doing?!"
Da Zhuang and the rest of the villagers couldn’t react in time to hold her
back as well. They let out a shout of surprise at her reaction before
deciding to chase after her as well.
Xu Que was almost crazed, his eyes were bloodshot as he ran in hot
pursuit of the immortals above.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out.
The cupboard which was used as the entrance broke into fragments as
Xu Que charged right through like a crazed beast as he sped towards
the entrance of the village.
The scene which greeted his eyes was that of a cruel slaughter.
Several villagers had fallen and were lying motionless in a puddle of
their own blood. Even in death, they maintained a look of utter fear.
Many other villagers were on their knees, all kowtowing and begging for
their lives.
The dozen cultivators were floating atop their flying sw ords. Their hands
were behind their backs as they stood upright and watched the scene
down below coldly.
At this point, several bursts of fire elemental Qi combined together to

form a large sword and was about to descend onto the kneeling villagers
who were begging for their lives.
"Stop it right now!"
Xu Que burst out in anger as he rushed towards the villagers. In the

split deciding seconds between life and death, he stood in front of them.
"Bam!"
He arrived in the nick of time to take the blow of the fiery sword as he
sustained severe injuries but he had saved the lives of the villagers.
Blood spurted out from his mouth and stained the ground.
"Brother Xu Que…"
"Immortal Elder Xu…"
The villagers were all taken aback. Even the people who had ran af ter
Xiao Rou— Da Zhuang and the rest of them. Just seeing the bravery
and selflessness of Xu Que caused their eyes to glisten with tears.
All these while, these villagers had always felt like mere ants before
immortals. Everyone knew that just a flick of their finger was enough to
see them squashed to death.
Yet Xu Que was willing to sacrifice his life in order to ensure their
safety. He rushed straight out to stop their immortal magic arts and
saved their own village people.
This selfless act deeply moved the hearts of the villagers. Being touched
and the sorrow of seeing their fallen villagers welled together and
formed tears which rolled down their faces.

The reward is 50 acting tough points."
The system beeped out in his head.
Xu Que didn’t seem to care about the points as he raised his head and
glared at the group of floating immortals.
The cultivating immortals blinked several times before recognizing Xu

Que. All of them simultaneously laughed out coldly.
"Haha!" Looks like the turtle had decided to come out of its shell?"
"If you had came out earlier, all these mortals wouldn’t have to die."
"Although we don’t know much about your history, we’ve heard that you
plundered the treasures belonging to the Celestial Sect. We just
received the order to kill you. Looks like you shouldn’t think of escaping
alive today."
"All the treasures and items which you stole now belongs to us!’
"Keke... but we would never have imagined that y ou would be selfless

enough to give your life up for these stupid commoners. I really don’t
know if you’re stupid or silly or stupid and silly. Hahaha!!!"
The cultivating immortals whose hands were stained with the blood of
the innocent villagers, started laughing out manically.
They were perched high above as they laughed out mockingly at Xu

Que. They took Xu Que for an ants under their feet. All that was needed
was to gently step on him to crush and kill him.
At this point, Xu Que straightened himself as he raised his head to give

a death glare at the immortals above.
"In the past, I always enjoyed acting tough."
Xu Que spoke out suddenly, interrupting their laughters.
Although his tone was plain, it bore some sort of power and strength to
it as his voice reverberated all across the land.
The immortals in the air all paused as they looked at each other,
confused. None of them could understand what he meant.
The villagers all looked at Xu Que curiously as well, their hearts were
clenched in fear.
With his palms on the floor, Xu Que stood up gradually. The wounds he
had sustained earlier had started to recover from the system’s healing
option.
A smile emerged from the corner of his mouth as if he was laughing to

himself. He then continued to speak, "It felt good to act tough. However,
I know that it’s nothing to be proud of."
"Today, I could have ran away and saved my own life."
"But I didn’t! I chose to stay and stand up for them."
"Because I know..."
"Sometimes, toughness doesn't have to be feig ned."
"Even if I had to force myself to appear tough, I knew that I had to

devote all my energy and strengths to protect and defend them!"
"I know that I’m not a good person but I’ve never harmed the innocent!"
"But you people…"
Xue Que raised his head as his black pupils dilated before he screamed
out, "You people are considered dog shit immortal cultivators! You
recklessly assault and kill innocent people with your rubbish cultivation
techniques! Fine. Today none of you should dream of walking out of
here alive!"
Boom!
Immediately after his last word was spoken, Xu Que exploded in a blue
ray of light as he shot towards the skies.
"Roar!"
The sound of a roaring dragon emerged from within his body, shaking
the four corners of the land as the sky turned its color.
The ray of blue light charged towards the skies before transforming into
nine dragons as they swirled and danced around each other.
All the immortals around were taken aback.
"What’s happening?"
"What skill is this?"
"It actually was able to create such a wave. Could it be an ancient

immortal spell that he casted?"
"It must be. Only an ancient immortal spell would have such an earth
shattering effects."
"The message sent out by the Celestial Sect said that this person’s
cultivation level was only at the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Who would’ve thought that he would progress so quickly to the first level
of the Foundation Building Stage. He must have some other treasured
items on him."
"Kill him and acquire his techniques and t reasures!"
"Die!"
Immediately after, all the immortal cultivators had a glow in their eyes as
they coveted his possessions greedily. Stepping on their flying swords,
they turned into prismatic beams of lights and charged towards Xu Que.
Ancient immortal spells? The temptation was too great.
"You’re looking for death!"
Xu Que stood at the same spot as he let out a huge roar.
He curled his fingers into a fist and rushed towards the first immortal.
"Soaring Dragons Nine Transformation, first form!"
Boom!
Instantly, a single dragon emerged from among the nine dragons and
dashed towards Xu Que. It then coiled itself around his head before
resting on his shoulders.
Bam!
Xu Que’s fist connected with the flying sword of the first immortal,
causing it to vibrate violently. At the same time, he was sent back
several paces and the immortal riding the sword seemed to remain
unaffected.
"Hehe... you seem to overestimate yourself. Just a mere Foundation

Building first level immortal would dare to fight a Core Bearing Stage
immortal?" The cultivator let out a snort as he proceeded onwards to kill
Xu Que.
"Core Bearing Stage, huh? Sure."
Xu Que let out a cold laugh as his gaze turned icy. He summoned all the
elements from his five spiritual roots and directed it to his Soaring
Dragons Nine Transformations skill. Clenching his fist once more, he
charged towards the cultivator.
"Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations, second form, go!"
"Third form!"
"Fourth form!"
"Fifth form!’
"Ninth form, go!"
In that instant, the nine dragons swirled around Xu Que’s head but didn’t
rest upon his shoulders. The nine dragons fused together to form a
colossal dragon and wrapped around Xu Que.
He then dashed towards that particular cultivator and it looked as if a

huge dragon descended down upon the heavens to aid him.
An aura of might and prestige seemed to be emitted from the heavens

as it cloaked the entire area with its presence.
"This… How could it be?"
That immortal cultivator’s face turned pale as he could feel the tr emors
erupting from the might of his skill. An intense sense of fear
overwhelmed and crippled him.
He wanted to flee but it was far too late for that!
Xu Que seemed to have transformed into the huge dragon and his fists
resembled the head of the gargantuan dragon as it connected with his
body squarely on his chest.
Boom!
That cultivator which was hit didn’t even have time to cry out in pain as
he disintegrated into ash and dust instantly and not a single bone
remained.
Everything turned quiet and still. The silence was pin drop as everyone
was scared out of their wits and remained still.
"Ding! Congratulations host ‘Xu Que’ for subduing and killing a cultivator
in the Core Bearing Stage. The reward is ten thousand experience
points."

The reward is ten acting tough points."
The system rang out within his head.
Xu Que’s gaze swept across his surroundings with sinister. His gaze
was fixed upon the nearest few cultivators who were cha rging right at
him before he killed the first cultivator.
But the entire group of them were scared stiff and stopped midway.
An awe-inspiring Core Bearing Stage cultivator was… was actually

defeated by a single punch and was vanquished to dust?
Fuck! This guy… Is he really a mere Foundation Building cultivator of

the first level?
The bastards from the Celestial Sect even said that he was still in the Qi
Refining Stage but he’s almost at the Golden Core Stage’s full
foundation already. How could we hope to defeat him?
"Hurry and run away!"

"Let’s return and inform our sect members. We shall let the sect elders
come and take his head off."
Instantly, the remaining cultivators acted like babies still sucking milk
from their mother as they kicked off their flying swords to flee in different
directions.
Xu Que revealed a cold smile, "I’ve already said! Today… None of you
shall escape alive."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for purchasing . 10 act tough

points have been deducted.
Three Thousand Volts Lightning Strike: takes on the caster’s strengths

for maximum effectiveness, low tier skill of Earth class. Total of 3
executions : Thunder Dash, Thunder Dodge, and Lightning Haste!
13 Die Die Die Die Die Die
Chapter 13: Die Die Die Die Die Die

Xu Que didn’t hesitate and learnt the skill immediately. He then used
100 essence points to upgrade the skill.
"Ding! Used up 100 skill essence points. Lightning Haste activation

success. Current movement speed is at 100%."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for achieving the maximum

upgrade on Lightning Haste. Would you like to purchase the advanced
technique for this capability ?"
Lightning Illusion? Keke, there’s no need for that. Dealing with such
lame enemies, 100% movement speed with Lightning Haste is more than
enough!
Xue Que laughed coldly as he activated his regeneration function from
the system, recuperating the Qi which he had exerted and lost. He was
sure to keep his current physical shape at its peak and not allow the
rush to die down.
At the same time, a pair of lightning bolts erupted from beneath his feet,
causing a loud crash of thunder to course through the sky. A pair of
electric currents arcked beneath his feet and linked up together as
thunder claps could be heard with. Before long, his shadow disappeared
as he chased after the cultivators.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, he appeared in front of a single cultivator who was

trying to escape. A cool look appeared on his face as he asked, "Where
do you think you’re going?"
"Ah… No..." The immortal cultivator’s eyes gaped wide open as if he had
just seen a ghost and was in a state of panic.
Instantaneously, Xu Que brought down the wrath of the Soaring

Dragon’s Nine Transformation, ninth form down upon him, reducing him
to nothing but dust and ashes.
Soon after, the lightning arcs beneath his feet seemed to jolt and dance
about like streaks of lightning in the sky.
He then turned to the next fleeing cultivator.
"Ah!!!"
"No, stop it!"
"We are disciples from the Setting Sun Sect, a branch belonging to the
Celestial Sect. How dare you- Ah!"
After sometime, the area over Pan Shan Village was full of anguished
cries of agonies and pleas for mercy.
Die die die die die die!!!
With a pair of bloodshot eyes, Xu Que’s heart was filled with rage and
killing intent. He completely ignored their pleas for mercy and threats.
He knew that these cultivators all deserved to die. He knew that he had
to hack them into a million pieces and prevent them from reincarnating!
At the same time, Xu Que’s mind was filled with incessant sounds and
alerts made by the system.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Core Bearing Stage
cultivator, Li Huan. The reward is 10,000 experience points."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Foundation Building

Stage cultivator, Wang Shan. The reward is 8,000 experience points."
"Ding!..."
Xiao Rou and the rest of the villagers craned their heads up to look in
astonishment.
They were unable to actually see Xu Que’s body, but they could clearly
see a pair of lightning arcs moving rapidly across the skies together with
a large blue dragon. They would occasionally see ashes and mists of
blood spurting out and descending down upon the lands as the
cultivators were vanquished, not leaving a single trace to their
existence.
Before long, the dozens of cultivators were all subdued and killed.
It then started raining at the entrance of Pan Shan Village— blood rain!
Those were the blood belonging to the cultivators who had been slain by
Xu Que.
Among them was a prominent cultivator who was in the Core Bearing
Stage!
Xu Que used the blood to pay his respects to the fallen villagers who
had died under the hands of these ruthless cultivators.
The villagers standing below were all stunned.
They had never seen so many cultivating immortals in their entire life. In
fact, the group of cultivators just now were much stronger than those
who frequently came to demand grains and food from the village as
tribute.
However, all these strong immortals were defeated by Xu Que in the

span of several breaths. Not just that, he killed all of them ‘till not the
slightest trace of them remained.
Is… Is this a dream?
Whoosh!
After several more breaths, Xu Que returned to the ground.
Under the glances of awe and gratitude, he remained speechless as he

clenched his fists tightly. He then walked over to the corpses of the
fallen villagers.
He remained silent for a long time.
Xu Que then bowed deeply before their bodies.
"I’m so sorry!"
"I came too late."
"Old village chief. Rest in peace!"

"I shall swear a vow to you, that I will protect Pan Shan Villag e well. I
will never let those losers bully them." Xu Que made the vow silently.
The setting sun was crimson red like fresh blood. Similar to Pan Shan
Village, which was covered in the blood of the vanquished immortals.
Thankfully, most of the villagers were safe and sound, and thus none of
them uttered a word of complain about the blood around.
They followed after Xu Que and bowed deeply before the deceased
villager chief with clenched fists. In the next instant, everyone present
fell to their knees with a thud and looked at Xu Que in reverence.
"Please, everyone, don’t kneel to me. I feel extremely guilty for I was the
one who brought it upon the village chief and the others. But everyone,
please don’t worry. I will protect this village to the best of my abilities."
Seeing these innocent and loyal villagers, this was the first time he felt a
sense of purpose in his life.
After everything had settled down, Xu Que, Da Zhuang and several

others took their dead and brought them to the back of the mountain
where they buried them and erected several tombstones, demarcating
their place of burial.
The next day, Xu Que was alone in Xiao Rou’s house, lying on the small
wooden mattress when he called out the information interface.
Since he took it upon himself to protect and ensure the safety of the
village, then he would have to start making preparations in order to
uphold his promise.
Host: Xu Que
Realm: Foundation Building Level 1 Beginner’s Level
Abilities: Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations; Lightning Haste

(Maximum)
Essence: Skills ( 330 points)
Occupation: None
There seemed to be a certain apparent changes to his personal

statistics.
What made Xu Que feel most strangely about was that he had obtained
more than 100,000 experience points after killing the immortal
cultivators. However, because he hasn’t upgraded his to the
intermediate levels, his points were being accumulated and saved up.
His acting tough points also reached 185 points and was enough for him
to make the upgrade to the intermediate level. This made Xu Que feel
like he struck it rich overnight.
However, he was in no rush to purchase the intermediate level of the .

He rested on the bed and pondered hard over the decisions to make.
Although he had killed all the cultivators which came, he knew that
sooner or later, more people would find out that he was dwelling within
Pan Shan Village and return to kill him.
This was because the Celestial Sect issued a death warrant to kill him
and many other sects were hunting him down. Eventually, more
cultivators would come in pursuit of him. There might be cultivators in
the Golden Core Stage or even the in the Original Infant Stage who
would return to kill him. When that time comes, he might not have the
capabilities to ensure the safety of the villagers.
Hence, the best option would be to allow Pan Shan Village to increase
in strength.
How do I increase their strength?
It was impossible for these villagers to begin their cultivation journeys.

Besides, time was of the essence. Even up to this point, Xu Que was
extremely unsure about many things in the cultivation world. He relied
almost entirely on the system for guidance and improvements. He thus
had no way of teaching the villagers the way to cultivate.
However, that doesn’t mean there were no other alternatives to help

them!
Xu Que laughed plainly before opening up the shopping screen on his

system interface. His eyes fell upon the "spells" sections.
Before all of these, Xu Que was barely interested in anything under the
spells sections and thus didn’t pay much attention to it.
However, due to the urgent and pressing nature of the current situation,
in addition to the circumstances surrounding Pan Shan Village, the best
way to solve this crisis was to go on a killing spree. Kill any hostilities
who show up for as long as we can.
The spells sections were divided into many broad categories, namely:
"Basic Spells, Beginner Spells, Intermediate Spells, Expert Spells,

Spiritual Spells, Ancient Ominous Spells…"
After the Ancient Ominous Spells, there were still many other levels
behind but Xu Que didn’t have the relevant qualifications or
prerequisites to discover them.
Hence, due to his curiosity, Xu Que decided to open up the highest level
of spells which he had access to— the Ancient Ominous Spells, and was
shocked at the spells that he saw.
"Immortal’s Execution Spell, Deities’ Immolation Spells, Hell Devouring

Spell, Comet Obliterating Spell..."
He couldn’t help but to salivate.
All these spells… Those spells are really bloody ominous according to
the category that they belong to!
Look at those names. Immortal’s Execution, Deities’ Immolation… If I

were to use those spells to act tough, I would be seen as being able to
wipe out the heavens just by talking!
It’s just that the prices…
Cha! They’re too expensive. The Immortal’s Execution Spell would need
several thousand acting tough points. I wonder how many months do I
have to act tough in front of people to actually afford such skill.
However, to deal with Celestial Sect completely, it wouldn’t even need

such high-end skills.
"Looks like I shall take a look at spells from the earlier categories first."
Xu Que shook his head and mumbled to himself as he looked at the

intermediate level spells.
However, the cheapest spells in the intermediate sections required at

least 200 act tough points. Seeing this, his mouth twisted in grimace as
he quietly resigned to settling for the beginner’s spells.
Thankfully, the prices in the beginner’s spells weren’t so scary. The

spells costed an average of around 80 act tough points. This caused Xu
Que to heave a sigh of relief.
He turned over to the next page and glanced at a pair of random spells.
[The Great Heavenly Divergence]
This spell has its origins from Ancient Spells. It causes a great
divergence and changes to a person’s intended actions, using
gentleness to overcome strength. This spell will cause the intended
target to fall into a love-like trance and cause extreme confusion. It will
allow the user to defend himself or successfully strike out without much
resistance. (Note: This spell will not have any effects on cultivators who
are in the Original Infant Stages or higher.)
Cost: 65 act tough points.
[Four Directions Desolation ]
This spell originates from the Ancient Wild Beasts Spells and has a
large area of effect. It summons the powers of the eastern green
dragon, the western white tiger, the southern vermillion bird and the
northern black tortoise to surround the area and attack the enem ies who
crossed the protective boundaries. (Note: This spell will not have any
effect on opponents who are of the Original Infant Stages or higher.)
Both these spells were considerably strong and has its own uses. Their
prices were also different and caused Xu Que to ponder his choices.
A spell like The Great Heavenly Divergence was more gentle and soft,
and could allow the villagers the advantage of either attacking or
defending based on the situation. For example, when the cultivators
were thrown into confusion and were lost, the big men could stand
outside of the spells’ domain to strike when they are vulnerable. They
can use their hoes and sticks to attack.
On the other hand, the Four Directions Desolation would allow the
people to be much more relaxed. All that was needed was to set up the
boundaries of the spell and four great beasts would appear to defend
the area. Should a hostile cultivator step forward, he dies. A group of
them shows up, they die too. It was extremely effective and cruel.
Xu Que fell into thought for some time before selecting the "Four
Directions Desolation Spell".
The main reason was simply because no mercy should be shown to

those hostile cultivators who wished to only bully the weak and innocent.
14 Four Directions Desolation Spell
Chapter 14: Four Directions Desolation Spell

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for acquiring the Four Directions
Desolation Spell. 80 act tough points had been spent."
Whoosh!
A white ray of light floated past his eyes.
Xu Que blinked several times as he noticed that an additional spell was

added to his inventory. It was indeed the "Four Directions Desolation
Spell".
Using the spell was also extremely easy although certain preparations
has to be conducted. Four different markers had to be placed around the
village. After that was done, the blood of beasts had to be irrigated
along the markers as a sacrifice. Only then would the beasts would be
summoned.
Actually, it wasn’t the blood of any other random beasts. For example, to
summon the green dragon to the eastern location, the blood of any
beasts which had relations to a dragon could be substituted instead. In a
place such as Pan Shan Village, it was impossible to actually locate the
blood of dragon. Hence, using the blood of related beasts such as
snakes would have to do.
However, Xu Que wasn’t in a rush to place the markers. Instead, he

opened up the skill path option in the information interface and entered
the sky-ranked skill paths page and purchased the intermediate level of
the .
Since I’ve already settled the preparations for the safety and defense of
the village, it was time to increase my own personal capabilities.
In addition, this intermediate stage would last up to the Original Infant

Level of my cultivation. Any increase after that, I would have to
exchange for an expert stage.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for purchasing the intermediate

level of the . 100 act tough points had been spent.
Boom!
In a split second after he purchased it, a loud sound rang through his
mind. He could suddenly feel his body being overwhelmed b y a great
deal of energy as a vortex formed just under the skin of his lower
abdomen, the dantian region. A frenzy of activity happened as his Qi
increased in volume.
The Qi started to compress against each other as it turned into liquid

state and was stored in his dantian. This was what the legends meant
when they referred to true core strength.
In the next second, the system sounded out within his head.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for increasing in ten levels. Your
new cultivation stage is Core Bearing Stage, Level 1."
"Fuck me!"
Xu Que jumped up in surprise. After purchasing the intermediate level,

the several 100,000+ experience which were stored up channeled
directly into the intermediate level skill path, causing him to rise several
levels and straight into the Core Bearing Stage.
Is this bullshit still called cultivation? I didn’t even face a single

bottleneck, is this some sort of a joke!
He hurriedly called out the information interface and looked at his

personal stats only to realize that there was a huge change.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Level: Core Bearing Stage Level 1 (Clear Understanding)
Skill Path: Intermediate Level
Abilities: Soaring Dragons Nine Transformation (Maximum), Lightning

Haste (Maximum)
Essence: Skill Path Essence (330 Points)
Occupation: None
Status : Prince Consort of Fire Nation
It seemed like there was also a change from "Small Improvement" to

"Clear Understanding". Xu Que laughed out loud, "H aha! I finally feel
like I’m an expert at this."
He then looked at the status of his physical health. Afterwards, he

noticed that the five elements Qi had completely disappeared and was
replaced by Five Elements of True Strength, which was circulating wit hin
his meridians.
Within his dantian, he had five different grain -like pellets. Each one of
them sparkled different colours as it radiated different elements of
powers.
Xu Que knew that these were the dan cores. Before a cultivator enters
the Golden Core stage, he would have to form these cores within his
dantian. The stage in which these cores are formed was the Core
Bearing Stage.
"The Core Bearing Stage is indeed very strong!"
Xu Que clenched his fists and felt a wave of energy coalescing within
his body. He felt as if he could explode out with such amount of force.
He knew that the current Core Bearing Stage was much stronger than
the previous Foundation Building Stage.
Besides, with the amount of power he had now, should he demonstrate

the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformation, the effects would be
devastating.
"Dong! Dong!"
Someone was gently knocking on the wooden door.
Xu Que replied, "Please enter." and saw Xiao Rou push open the door
and entered the room.
Her complexion was fair and smooth. At this point, she had a worried
look written across her face.
Seeing her act this way, Xu Que hurriedly asked, "Xiao Rou, what’s the
matter?"
Xiao Rou looked down and replied softly, "Brother Xu Que, the people in
the village discussed our current situation. Since we’ve offended the
immortals, they would definitely be back for revenge. Hence, they
decided to shift the entire village elsewhere safer. It’s just that… I can’t
bear to leave this place."
She had grown up in Pan Shan Village. Although she had no parents to
look after her, the villagers treated her very well.
To her, this very place was her home. A perfectly beautiful home. If she
had to move out today, she would miss this place very much.
Xue Que could understand Xiao Rou’s feelings. He thus got off the bed
and walked over to her, patting her small little head as he smiled, "Don’t
worry. Do you remember what I’ve said yesterday? I would protect this
village and I wouldn’t go back on my words. Go and tell the villagers not
to move."
"I can't."
Xiao Rou immediately shook her head. She then looked up at Xu Que
who had a grave expression across his face, "Big brother Da Zhuang
said that there were many more powerful and strong immortal elders.
With just a flick of their wrists, they were able to move mountains. If they
actually came, not only will the villagers not be able to flee, you could
even be killed."
I will be killed?
Xu Que broke into a smile, "That won’t happen. I’ve already become
much stronger. Do you believe me?"
"I…" Xiao Rou stammered as she looked down.
She very much wanted to reply that she believed him. However, when
she thought about how Da Zhuang had spoken of the mighty and
omnipotent immortal elders, she became increasingly worried once
again.
It’s just that Xu Que wasn’t exaggerating. He had crossed over to the
Core Bearing stage today. Combined with the new Four Directions
Desolation Spell he had acquired, even if an Original Infant Stage
cultivator appeared, he was confident that they would perish here.
"Oh no, immortal elder Xu, things are bad!"
At this point, an alarmed voice rang out from beyond the house.
Xu Que and Xiao Rou paused as they craned their heads outside to get
a better look.
All they could see was Da Zhuang having a crazed look across his face
as he ran from the village entrance towards them. He was panting and
looked terrified. "Immortal elder Xu, we saw many other immortals atop
the mountain. They’re flying over towards the village as we speak."
"What?" Xiao Rou lost all colour in her cheeks.
Xu Que raised an eyebrow as his mouth contorted into a smile.
They came so quickly?
It’s good that they’re here. I need all the experience points I can get in
order to progress with my cultivation.
At this point I’m just a mere Core Bearing Stage cultivator, how can this
ever satisfy me?
But… The most important now was to establish the Four Directions
Desolation and secure the perimeters of the village. I would then be able
to relax and kill monsters to rise up in level."
"Da Zhuang, immediately activate and alert all the villagers. Tell them to
collect the blood of snakes, tiger, birds and tortoises. Remember, the
blood have to be separated and distinguished by animals. Do not mix
them all up. I shall be back soon." Xu Que finished his sentence as he
turned around to leave.
Da Zhuang and Xiao Rou were stumped, "Tiger’s blood?"
Xu Que smacked his own head before realizing what he had asked for.
The beasts in this world could be much more powerful than those back
in his own world. Asking the villagers to find tiger’s blood was far too
dangerous.
"Leave the tiger’s blood to me. Get me the blood of those 3 other
animals. Remember, safety is the top priority. Besides, these beasts
also threaten the safety of the village. Don’t be careless."
"But..." Xiao Rou wanted to speak out.
Xu Que raised a hand up as he conjured a tray out of thin air. He then

smiled, "Xiao Rou, don’t wander around. Wait here for me. I shall place
the necessary markers and be right back. Trust me."
"Alright." Xiao Rou bit down hard on her lips as she nodded her head.
In the next moment, Xu Que activated the Lightning Haste spell as a

pair of arc lightning appeared, taking him off into the distance.
He headed straight for the outer perimeters of the village. When he

raised his head, he could see many beams of light heading towards the
village. It was exactly what Da Zhuang had mentioned, that all the
immortals were riding swords and were fast approaching.
"Ah, so what if you have numbers? Do you really think that’s going to
work?"
Xu Que laughed coldly. Unless the sect leader or someone special of at

least the Infant Transformation Stage comes, they have no reason to be
afraid."
15 Acting tough like the wind, I am my only partner!
Chapter 15: Acting tough like the wind, I am my only partner!

"Whoosh!"
A flash of lightning zoomed across the skies as Xu Que demonstrated

his Lightning Haste Skill and circled within ten kilometers around the
village. He differentiated between north, south, east and west as he
placed down the markers.
"Everything is ready. All that’s left is for nature to take its own course."
Xu Que then raised his head to look around as his smile froze. The
immortal cultivators were fast approaching.
If they were to keep moving at this constant speed, there wouldn’t be

enough time to acquire the blood of the different beasts and sacrifice
the blood to activate the spell.
I have to think of a way to stall them to buy some time for the rest of the
villagers to get the necessary blood sacrifices.
He thought for some time before turning around as his shadow flickered,
making his way towards the top of the mount ains.
At this time, the immortal cultivators were arriving in swarms at the top
of the mountains.
They stood atop their flying swords and their hands were behind their
backs in a dignified posture. Their robes were flapping about the wind
and their killing intents radiated out from them.
The leaders of the group were the sect elders from different sects and
their powers were anything but ordinary. They were extremely skillful
cultivators of the Golden Core Stage.
Among them were several who hailed from Sunset Faction which was a
branch of the Celestial Sect.
After discovering that several disciples were unaccounted for, they

conducted an investigation and realized that they had disappeared while
trying to hunt down the culprit who stole the treasures from Celestial
Sect. Since that was the case, they alerted the sect elders who in turn,
activated many people and headed towards Pan Shan Village.
Several other sects had heard about this news too and decided to
respond with the promise of rewards should they tag along to Pan Shan
Village.
However, this group of more than 50 cultivators had come all the way
down to capture a mere "Qi Refining Stage" unknown cultivator. It was
quite a ridiculous joke.
Several sect leaders who were leading the entourage f urrowed their
brows and were about to call on the disorganized rogue cultivators to
their group.
All of a sudden, several rays of lightning bolts appeared on one of the

mountains behind Pan Shan Village. Soon after the emergence of the
lightning bolts, a shadow could be seen. It was Xu Que.
The sect elders and their disciples could match the description with his
features and shouted out in shock, "You are the insolent tiny thing? Why
aren’t you surrendering yet?"
Xu Que stood atop the peak of the mountains, raised his head and
laughed at the group of immortal cultivators ahead. He then cursed at
them, "Surrender your mother. If you have the guts, come and get me."
Several sect elders were all stunned by his rough demeanor.
The disciples standing behind them were even more shocked.
What kind of situation is this?
Is this man crazy? It’s supposed to be us who’ve come to seek our

revenge. Why is he acting indignant?
"Asshole, you’re looking for death!"
At the same time, a sect elder recovered from his shock and expressed
his rage by gathering his strength and charging towards Xu Que.
However, he was immediately held back by another sect elder.

"Hold it. Be careful of his devious schemes."
The minute this words were spoken, the few elders all became a lert and
raised their suspicions.
One of the cultivators scanned his vision across and rested upon Xu
Que. Soon after, his face turned pale in shock.
"How could it be? This person has cultivated…‘Till the Core Bearing
Stage."
"What?"
Immediately, all the other cultivators were alarmed by this revelation.
According to the reports that were written, this person was a mere Pill
Refining cultivator. Only several days had passed and he’s already
cultivated up to the Core Bearing Stage? How’s that possible?
"Not good. He must’ve found a way to conceal and deceive his actual
cultivation level which managed to fool Celestial Sect."
"That’s right. No wonder so many disciple from my sect went missing

after searching for him. They must’ve fallen right into his t rap and fell to
this person’s venomous schemes."
"Besides, if he could conceal his cultivation level, he might not

necessarily be of the Core Bearing Stage and might even be higher than
that. He is probably trying to trick us."
"Everyone stop. Let’s rest at the mountain peak opposite and don’t get
too near Pan Shan Village for now."
Several sect leaders around ordered their disciples.
Hence, this large group of cultivators decided to turn around and head
for the opposite mountain.
Xu Que played along with them and clenched his fists. He then
pretended that it was a pity that they weren’t approaching any longer.
This expression was noticed by the cultivators. One of them then spoke
out, "Elder Liu is very sharp and observant. I can tell from his face th at
he looks extremely unhappy that we’re not confronting him head on. It
must be because Elder Liu could see through his schemes and managed
to avoid it."
All the other sect elders started to clasp their hands in salute, "Elder Liu
is wise and prudent. If it weren’t for your observation, we might even
have been tricked to enter his lair and fall into his traps."
"Everyone’s overpraising me. Really flattering me." Elder Liu stroked his
white beard and laughed out loud as he nodded his head.
Xu Que could hear the alert from the system going off, informing him of
his successful acting tough and rewarded him with plenty of act tough
points. This caused him no small amount of happiness.
What’s most important was that he succeeded in stalling for time.
Xu Que’s heart laughed quietly. On the surface, he seemed to be

extremely unhappy, as he cleared his throat coldly. He then turned to
the cultivators congregating around the mountain across, "Consider
yourself lucky. My master told me, anyone who dares to step a n inch
into Pan Shan Village would die a horrible death. Those people
yesterday were the best examples I can give."
When everyone heard this, they sucked in cold air in fear.
Master?
Damn it. He’s so crafty!
So it seems like this person’s master had arrived as well and was hiding
somewhere, trying to lure us in.
No wonder so many Core Bearing Stage disciples ended up missing.
They were probably killed by this person’s master.
Several sect elders puckered their brows in suspicion as they eyed each
other nervously. Following Xu Que’s words, they replied, "Who’s your
master?"
Xu Que reared his head back and laughed. With his hands behind his
back, he replied coldly, "Haha! You worthless bunch of people. What
right do you have to know my master’s magnanim ous name? If you’re
wise, all of you will hurriedly fall on your knees and kowtow in the
direction of Pan Shan Village. After that, get lost. If you decide to incur
the wrath of my master, he will definitely empty out all of your treasure
rooms, before wiping out all your family members."
"You really have a death wish!" An old cultivator with a fiery temper blew
air against his beard as he shouted out in anger. He clutched his flying
sword and rushed towards Xu Que.
However, he was once again held back by elder Liu.
"Hold it. This person is really full of ploys and schemes. Can’t you see
it? He’s purposely trying to agitate us and trick us into going over."
"Besides, his master is definitely not a simple person and definitely

stronger than all of us. If not, he wouldn’t exhibit this fearless attitude.
My friends, please remain calm."
After elder Liu finished speaking, everyone around felt like they’ve been
splashed awake with cold water and trembled slightly. They then thought
to themselves about how they’ve nearly fallen for his trap once again.

The reward is 20 act tough points."
Xu Que stood atop the mountain behind Pan Shan Village as he listened
to elder Liu’s words and all their agreement. Soon after he heard the
system go off in his head, signalling his successful acting tough once
again, he almost revealed his happiness.
It’s not easy. It’s not easy to bump into a bunch of pig headed people for
enemies.
Hence, he placed his hands on his hips and faced the group of immortal
cultivators across the mountains and started rousing and agitating them
once again.
"Come on here all of you. Come and catch me!"
"It’s no big deal for me to fight you with just one hand!"
"Maybe I’ll throw in an additional leg as well?"
"Are you coming or not? If you’re not coming, I shall leave."
"Damn it. You’re really not coming?"
"Ai, in my entire life, all I prayed for was to meet a good opponent but I
could never find one!’
"Unless I’m unparalleled and unrivaled in this world? If that’s the case, I
should change my name to ‘begging for failure’."
Xu Que then pretended to be an expert who was extremely bored and

raised his head in disappointment as he sighed.
"..."
The cultivators opposite to him were already prepared for this and
couldn’t be coerced into fighting.
Unrivaled your sister!
Begging for failure your sister!

You’re just a Core Bearing Stage cultivator. What are you pretending?
If you have the guts, come here!
16 Setting Up the Protective Screen
Chapter 16: Setting Up the Protective Screen

While this was happening, the villagers in Pan Shan Village were
scurrying about, making preparations.
According to Xu Que’s instructions, they went down to the fields to hunt

for snakes in the ditches. Once they caught the snakes, they obtained
its blood. Others went to the nearby streams and even more went into
the forests to hunt for sparrows.
Everyone combined their efforts to carry out the instructions. Before

long, they had three fresh trays of blood ready in the village.
"Immortal elder Xu instructed us to obtain this blood. But what c ould the
reason possibly be?"
"That’s right. These are mere animals’ blood. Can they stop the
immortals from attacking us?"
"Ai..."
The villagers all had looks of worry and anxiety across their faces as
they shook their heads and sighed.
Xiao Rou raised her hands and replied them sincerely, "Fellow villagers,
please don’t worry. Brother Xu Que will definitely protect us."
She raised her head and gazed in the direction behind the mountains.
Her heart spoke out, "I believe brother Xu Que."
...
Meanwhile, Xu Que was still standing at the top of the mountain but
didn’t attempt to antagonize the opposing cultivators. After all that
taunting, he was rather tired.
He turned his head to look at Pan Shan Village, just below the
mountains. His high cultivation skills enabled him to see far ahead at the
villagers down below. He could see that they were gathered together in
the village and he guessed that they managed to gather the blood of the
three different animals.
It can also be said that the only ingredient missing at this point was the
tiger’s blood. After that, activating the Four Directions Desolation spell
would be very easy.
Xu Que looked around and gazed upon the mountain across where
many immortal cultivators had gathered. He snorted at them before
laughing icily, "You guys are trash. Since you don’t dare to fight with
me, I shall return back to sleep. Goodbye."
As he finished speaking, he turned around and leapt into the forest.
Soon after, he used his Lightning Haste spell once again and hurriedly
roamed the forests, trying to find a tiger.
The cultivators across looked at him in despair before speaking in a

hushed voice.
"This person’s cultivation skills are extremely strange. He’s even able to
control lightning, which is unheard of."
"His master is definitely someone powerful and yet we’ve never heard of
anyone extraordinarily powerful show up of late. Who could it be?"
"Why don’t we pretend to pay our respects to his master and visit him?
Once we discover who he is, we might be able to make an accurate
judgement and act accordingly."
"No, absolutely no!", elder Liu spoke out once again.
He fiddled with his beard and spoke in a soft voice, "His original
intentions were to agitate us and lure us to where he was. All of a
sudden, he decided to leave. His plan must be to lure us to wherever
he’s going. That would be a good excuse for his master to slaughter us.
Everyone, please do not fall for it."
"But we can’t just remain here and wait?" Someone frowned and replied.
Everyone present reached a deadlock as to how to proceed forward.
"Oh, I’ve got an idea.", an old man exclaimed, causing several people to
jump up in shock at his loud voice.
"Elder Wang, what do you mean in your sudden outburst?" Another old
man revealed an unkind expression a s he asked.
Elder Wang’s expression was one of horror and shock as he gazed

down at Pan Shan Village warily. He then spoke slowly and carefully,
"I’ve recalled something. This person’s master could very well be that
person…"
"Who?" Everyone’s interest was piqued as all looked eager at elder

Wang to provide an explanation.
Elder Wang then mumbled to himself, "This matter happened more than
ten years ago. At that point in time, I happened to be travelling around
the world. When I arrived in Ling Nation, I paid a visit to a big sect there.
Fortunately, I befriended the sect leader of a sect and he told me a
legend."
"Oh?" Everyone asked curiously.
Elder Wang continued, "According to this legend, there was a great and
powerful being in the cultivation world. His name was Duan Jiu De. This
person’s temperament was extremely volatile and enjoyed plundering
the treasure coves of other people and sects. When he was in a good
mood, he would annihilate the entire sect and all their family members.
He was known to be a vile and evil man. However, the problem was that
his cultivation level and skills were extremely powerful. Even the Infant
Transformation Stage immortals were no match for him."
"What? There’s really such a person in the cultivation world?"
When everyone heard this, they were astounded.
Everyone knew that there were no lack of such stories, where cultivators
resorted to a variety of tricks in order to steal treasured goods.
However, as a powerful being, as someone who was even more
powerful than immortals in the Infant Transformation Stage, he would be
regarded as a senior which commanded respect. How could he do
something like this?
"If anyone has their doubts, rest assured that this is absolutely true. If it
weren’t for the fact that I personally witnessed this Xu Que’s strange
temperament and demeanor, added to the fact that he stole treasures
from Celestial Sect, I wouldn’t have recalled this story.
"Does that mean, this person could be a disciple of that senior Duan?"
"Aiya, then it wouldn’t be good for us to offend them!"
"But, then again, it’s hard to say. If this Duan Jiu De was really so
impressive, he probably wouldn’t come to such a poor village and
remain here."
"If not, should we send someone to request for assistance from Celestial
Sect?"
"No, that won’t do. If Celestial Sect comes, won’t that mean that our
reward and prizes wouldn’t be given to us any longer?"
"That’s right. In fact, since he stole the treasures belonging to Celestial
Sect, they would reclaim the treasures for themselves once they capture
him. Then, we wouldn’t be able to get our hands on the treasures."
"That makes sense. No matter what, we can’t come all the way here for
nothing huh?"
...
Just as the immortal cultivators were wildly guessing, Xu Que had

already circled half the forested area around Pan Shan Village. Since he
had powers which enabled him to do it quickly, it wasn’t exactly because
he was hardworking.
Halfway to the top of the mountain, there was a creek. He then realized
that an old tiger was resting beside it.
To put it into perspective, this tiger was extremely different from the
tigers which could be found on Earth.
It had a huge frame, almost as big as a rhinoceros. It had a long pair of

teeth jutting out from the front of his mouth and looked exactly like an
animal which had long gone extinct on Earth — the saber-tooth.
However, with Xu Que’s current cultivation level, dealing with a tiger like
that wasn’t difficult at all.
"Whoosh!" The lightning beneath his feet swept across the forest, as the
Lightning Haste technique was demonstrated. In the blink of an eye, he
appeared behind the that ‘saber-tooth’ tiger. Without further hesitation,
he swung his sword down upon upon the back of the tiger.
"Kacha!"
The sound of bones breaking into fragments could be heard. And that
"saber tooth" tiger was vanquished without even knowing what
happened.
Not wasting anymore time, Xu Que picked up the tiger’s carcass and
carried it back to the village.
The villagers had been waiting for quite some time f or him to show up.
The minute they looked towards the forest and saw Xu Que carrying a
tiger, everyone was astounded.
That moment, Xu Que didn’t have much time to act tough. He hurriedly
instructed everyone to drain the tiger of its blood. At the same time, he
waved a hand to signal for them to bring the tray of blood from the other
three animals and kept it in the storage space within the system.
Before long, the blood from the tiger had been drained out as well. Time
was of the essence and Xu Que didn’t even have time to linger and
make conversation. He hurriedly conjured the Lightning Haste and left in
a hurry.
It was a race against time. He had to prepare all the necessary

enchantments before the group of cultivators decide to enter the village.
That was the only way he knew how to ensure their safety.
The process of acquiring the blood was surprisingly uneventful.
Xu Que returned to the four corners where he had placed the markers
earlier. He then poured out the blood of the snake at the eastern fro nt
where the blood of the eastern green dragon was required.
Blood seeped into the ground as the earth devoured it hungrily. Before
long, a red image of a large dragon totem materialized from beneath the
ground, above the marker.
Xu Que was astounded by this but didn’t have time to admire it. He then
hurriedly turned to the location of the black tortoise and poured the
blood over the marker as well. Similarly, a large black tortoise totem
appeared over the marker.
…
Before long, he was at the fourth and final marker, pouring the blood of
birds down onto the ground. All of a sudden, a huge wave and ripple
was sent our within 10 kilometers radius from Pan Shan Village.
The second the vermillion sparrow’s blood had congealed on the

ground, a loud piercing sound rang out from the skies, similar to the
crashing of thunder and lightning.
Boom!
In the next instant, energy was drawn from all around, including the
heavens and earth and coalesced in the air, just above Pan Shan
Village. Soon enough, the energy formed a large swirling vortex that
was immeasurably deep and was greedily absorbing more energy from
the environment.
After the vortex had absorbed enough energy, it rapidly transformed into
a spherical protective screen that covered the entire village an d any
area within a ten kilometers radius.
Soon after, a bright ray of light blossomed from all directions of the
village and shone brightly overhead, like a myriad of stars above.
The Four Directions Desolation had been activated!
The force which swept through the village and cause tremors were so
powerful that it shocked the villagers.
All of them looked up with their mouths and eyes gaping wide open as
they stared at the lights and protective shield. They had thought that the
immortal cultivators had attacked and scared the wits out of them,
causing their faces to turn pale. Most of them fell to their knees, begging
for the protection of their deities.
Xu Que hurriedly rushed back and saw the sight of the villagers
kneeling. He then paused in shock and asked, "What are you guys
kneeling for? This is the spell which I’ve conjured. Fellow villagers,
please rise. Nobody will ever bully or take advantage of you in future."
"Sp-Spell?" The villagers all asked in shock.
So this was a protective spell!
But… Would such a thin layer of protective light be able to ward off so
many immortal cultivators?
The villagers looked above at the protective spells in awe. Some had
their doubts but didn’t dare to voice them.
However, Xiao Rou’s face was one of relief a nd admiration as she ran
over, "Brother Xu Que, are we really safe?"
"Of course it’s true. We’re really safe." Xue Que smiled.
Seeing Xiao Rou’s adorable demeanor, he couldn’t help himself and

gently pinched her cheeks.
Xiao Rou froze in shock as her face blushed a deep shade of red in
shyness.
Seeing her this shy, Xu Que laughed out loud, "Haha! Fine. All of you
wait here and watch how I collect their bones."
"Ah. Brother Xu Que, won’t you stay here with us?" Xiao Rou asked,
clearly frightened still.
"I will return after I’m done with them. This spell was conjured to protect
yourself and the other villagers. Only with you safe will I be able to focus
on claiming their lives."
"But… But there are so many of them." Xiao Rou replied worryingly.
"Even if they had more people than they currently have, I will not let
them bully the people of our village." Xu Que spoke out loudly.
His selfless demeanor and willingness to risk his safety for the villagers
touched everyone present.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xue Que’ for successfully acting tough.

The system rang out, causing Xu Que to laugh. "Haha! I shall be back
soon. Everyone, please don’t worry about me."
As he finished, he called on the Lightning Haste spell and a bolt of

lightning wrapped around him, taking him to the peak of the mountain.
...
At this time, the immortal cultivators had long noticed the ground
shaking movements as they looked about frantically for its source.
"What’s happening?"
"It must be that someone has casted a restricting spell."
"The ripples created by the spell was quite considerable. But upon
closer look, the spell looks very average and ordinary, without much
strength."
"Yes, that’s right. There’s a layer of light that’s coveri ng the village but
looks much weaker than the spell we use to protect our own sect’s
mountain."
"It’s just a small hindrance to us."
After everyone had taken a closer look at the spell, they shook their
heads in disdain.
Only elder Liu remained composed and deep in thought. All of a sudden,
he shouted out, "Oh no. We’ve been tricked by that little worm. If there
was really a powerful being within Pan Shan Village, why would there be
a need for a protective enchantment?"
Everyone listened before bursting out into discussion.
"That’s right. Besides, such a simple and average spell doesn't seem
like it was casted by a powerful cultivator."
Elder Liu stroked his beard and laughed out loud, "Haha! We were
stupid and fell for his scheming tricks. Right now, he must think that he’s
clever and thus casted this protective enchantment. However, in doing
so, he revealed a flaw in his schemes. Everyone, I dare to promise,
there’s no such powerful cultivator in Pan Shan Village. Let’s break the
spell!"
As he spoke, elder Liu decided to lead the charge in breaking the spell.
He had a gallant look on his face as he stepped on his flying sword and
flew up into the air. The disciples who were following elder Liu picked up
their flying swords and decided to kill their way through as well.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared,flying up from Pan Shan Village and

resembled a bolt of lightning. One moment, he looked to be some
distance away. In the next, he appeared on top of elder Liu in midair.
"Eh?" ELder Liu could feel a shadow looming over his head as he looked
up ferociously.
"Whoosh!" a flash of lightning zoomed past his vision, causing elder Liu
to swear out. He knew something wasn’t quite right.
However, even before he could react and run away, a pungent smelling
pair of feet stepped down hard on his head.
17 Arrival of the Vermillion Sparrow
Chapter 17: Arrival of the Vermillion Sparrow

"Pow!"
The speed and strength was unnaturally astonishing, giving no time for
Elder Liu to react. After his face had been kicked, he fell off his flying
sword and landed on the ground.
"Not good!"
"Elder Liu, be careful."
All the cultivators around reacted to this sight as they shouted out in
surprise.
Several others, whose reflexes were faster, managed to cast spells and
charged straight at the oppressor.
Clearly, the person who attacked was Xu Que as he rode atop a bolt of
lightning, causing his movements to be extremely quick. After striking
out, he hurriedly headed for the mountain just behind Pan Shan Village.
The sounds of his laughter could be heard.
"Haha! Old strands of hair, were you scolding me behind my back?

Here’s a kick to your face. You’re welcome."
"Asshole!" Elder Liu stood up, his entire body was trembling in fury.
This powerful figure within the cultivation world now had the imprint of a
shoe across his face and was an extremely comical sight.
The other cultivators were furious as well as they pointed at Xu Que and
shouted out.
"Despicable and evil person! You dare to attack us stealthily?!"
"You dare to hurt the elder of my sect? You’re finished!"
"If you dare, come and fight!"

Elder Liu’s disciples were enraged as they pointed at Xu Que and
started scolding him loudly.
Xu Que shirked his shoulders and held a look of indignance and replied,
"How can that be considered stealth? I came here openly. It’s just that
the entire bunch of you are rubbish and your eyes cannot catch up to my
speed."
"You little bastard, you’re asking for death." Elder Liu’s face was
contorted into ugly rage as he gritted his teeth and cursed.
Xu Que was enraged too, "Old sparse hair, please mind your language.
The minute you open your mouth, dirty words come out. Did your mother
teach you that? Then your mother probably didn’t have much manners
as well?"
When everyone heard this, their lips curled in a snarl. Elder Liu was so
angry he nearly passed out.
Damn it, aren’t you cursing and speaking dirty words as well?
"I only speak this way to the bunch of you. Anyway, old sparse hair over
here is correct. You’ve been tricked. There’s no powerful cultivator in
Pan Shan Village. Oh, that’s not right. I am the powerful immortal!"
Xu Que then laughed, his eyes were barely visible in his laughter.
An old man stepped forward, his face was downcast. "Hm… Regardless
of whether there’s a powerful being, you’re dead today for sure."
"Is that so?" Xu Que opened his mouth and looked at the ra y of light
overhead and smiled, "You bunch of trash, see if you can penetrate my
spells first before speaking."
The crowd was enraged as everyone conjured their own spells and
charged towards Xu Que with killing intents.
Elder Liu stood there and laughed, "So the spell was casted by you. No
wonder it looked average at best. Although you caused quite a stir by
casting the spell, if you think it’s going to hold us back, you’re a
dreaming fool."
The several disciples behind him all agreed vehemently.
"That’s right. Elder Liu is correct."
"Just a mere spell and you wish to obstruct us? You’re simply boasting
and courting death."
"When we break through your spells, we shall make you beg us to end
your life because of all the pain we shall inflict on you."
Xu Que replied happily, "Yo yo yo, you really think you can break
through my protective spell?"
Elder Liu shook his head and smiled, "Ignorant young thing. Do you
really think that acquiring your first precious spell is enough to stop us?"
"Oh, it looks like you’re the ignorant ones. I never intended for this spell
to obstruct you. Because…" Xu Que paused for sometime, as killing
intent built up within his eyes as he continued, "I planned to use it to kill
you."
The minute he said this, everyone around was stumped.
Soon after, everyone on the mountain burst out in uncontrollable

laughter.
"Haha!!! Did you guys hear that? That little kid wanted to use that
protective spell to kill us."
"What a stupid fool!"

"It’s really scary to be ignorant."
"One look and I know this kid hasn’t seen the real world. If he were to
see the protective spells casted around my sect, he would be scared to
death."
The immortal cultivators continued laughing as elder Liu shook his head
with a mocking expression.
"Little bastard, to be very honest, I am extremely proficient and

knowledgeable with such spells. Your tiny and insignificant spell can be
broken by me in the time it takes for my to finish a cup of tea. Prepare to
die."
Seeing all their reactions, Xu Que was stumped as some uncertainty

surfaced in his heart.
Damn it. Could it be true that the Four Directions Desolation was really
not as powerful as I imagine?
That doesn’t make sense. I spent a full 80 acting tough points on it and
the spell description even said that those below the Infant
Transformation Stage would die if they tried to force their way in.
Could it be that the cultivators in this world are all well versed with
spells and have already reached an elite level when it came to casting
and dealing with spells?
Xu Que’s heart had several doubts as fear swamped him. If these group
of people really managed to break through the spells, that would be
disastrous.
Xu Que then turned his eyes away and decided to try it out first before
making his next move. He then looked at elder Liu and shouted across.
"Old sparse hair, you said that you can break through the spell in the
time it takes to finish a small cup of tea. Fine. I shall give you the time
needed to drink a cup of tea, come and try it."
"Hm, you’re hungry for death."
Elder Liu cleared his throat as he stepped on his flying sword. His body
soared into the sky as he waved his hands, summoning a huge fire
energy to his palms.
Boom!
The fire energy accumulated before his body as it formed countless of

fiery swords with red glowing energy around them. They floated in
midair, poised to strike.
"I won’t even need to open my eyes to break your protective

enchantments." After elder Liu spoke out, he mumbled to himself.
"Break it."
At the same time, the numerous flaming swords coalesced into a red ray
of burning light as it charged towards the mountain behind Pan Shan
Village like raindrops.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The fire swords slammed against the ray of light sphere enchantments,
causing loud thudding sounds to be heard.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed onto the glowing enchantment, trying to see
it being destroyed.
Elder Liu’s face revealed a confident smile as he watched on.
After the time needed to finish a cup of tea had passed and all the fire
swords had been depleted, the bright protective screen looked exactly
the same, unblemished and undamaged. It was as if the fiery assault
didn’t even happen.
For a split second, there was complete and utter silence.

Elder Liu’s smile froze across his face.
Xu Que paused in anticipation before he burst out laughing. "Haha!

Break through the enchantments? Old sparse hair, are you joking?"
Elder Liu’s cheeks and ears turned red, his anger was burning up within
him.
The cultivators around him were embarrassed as well. This matter was
extremely humiliating and shameful for them.
It’s just… How could that happen?
Elder Liu’s knowledge and experience in such spells were anything but
insignificant. How could a small fry like this conjure a protective spell
that wouldn’t break? Unless there was something fishy behind it?
"Iya, the powerful immortal is bored!" Xu Que sighed and looked up at

the heaven as he sighed in boredom.
"Tell me. If you guys can’t even break through a mere small spell such
as this, how can you dare to talk a whole lot of crap outside and talk of
killing me?"
"Cluck cluck. Come on, I’m waiting to kill all of you."
"Why aren’t you speaking? Come on. My neck is extended for you to
slaughter."
Hearing Xu Que speak all these taunts and antagonizing words, the
many immortal cultivators were all furious beyond words.
A young disciple stepped forward and started shouting in response.
"If you have the guts, come out and deal with us! Don’t hide within the
spell like a timid tortoise!"
"That’s right. Stop hiding in the spell and speaking such words. If you
are really capable, come out and have a good fight."
"Exactly. If you have the guts to come out, I will fight you with just one
hand."
All the disciples around had a glimmer in their eyes as they began
responding to Xu Que with insults and riled themselves up.
Several sect elders nodded their heads in approval as well, thinking that
this wasn’t a bad idea.
These hot blooded youths are young, aggressive and vigorous. They
would certainly be unable to tolerate such insults.
The minute Xu Que steps out of the enchantment, they will strike like
lightning and take him down.
However, Xu Que seemed extremely calm and unperturbed by the

insults thrown at him.
He slowly walked over to a large tree and s at beneath it with his legs
crossed. He then raised his head, pointing his nose to the sky and gave
off an arrogant look. "Do you think you have the ability to fight with such
a mighty being like myself?"
The immortal cultivators were incensed by these wo rds as the several

elders snarled furiously.
Damn it, I’ve never seen such a shameless person ever!
Just a mere Core Bearing Stage and he dares to call himself a powerful
being in front of cultivators in the Golden Core Stage!
Elder Liu cleared his throat and shouted out across.
"Hm, since you don’t dare to come out, just remain there and hide
yourself. After today, we shall send people here to guard this area
everyday. You and your villagers will never be able to leave this place!"
Xu Que started laughing maniacally.
"Haha! I have no intentions of hiding. It’s just that I really wish to test
the powers of this protective spell. Besides, it’s already clear that the
spell I casted is on a different league from those dog shit spells you use
to protect your own sects."
"Oh right, don’t assume that just because you’re standing outside the
spell, you would be safe from it."
"Because… You’re still within the attacking distance from my spell!"
The minute his last word was spoken, he retrieved something from
within the folds of his robes. It was the amulet for the Four Directions
Desolation Spell!
Using two hands, he pressed down on southern point the amulet, where
the vermilion sparrow symbol was.
Boom!
Instantaneously, the nearest marker from where he was rumbled as a

bright ray of light shot towards the heavens.
The spot which was stained with the blood from vermillion sparrows
shook as a solid figure emerged from the ground. It gradually formed the
outlines of a vermillion sparrow, as light rays swirled around it.
"Eeeeek!"
After several breaths, a loud screeching sound could be heard in all

directions.
The immortal cultivators around were astonished and couldn't help but
tremble in fear.
Soon after, a sparrow which was surrounded in burning flames erupted
and flew across towards the immortal cultivators, scaring them out of
their wits.
Although it was somewhat small in size, it was a majestic looking

phantom which was covered in flames. As it took form, it charged down
upon the cultivators, who were staring wide eyed.
18 Emergence of the Four Legendary Beasts
Chapter 18: Emergence of the Four Legendary Beasts

"What?"
"That’s… Is that the ancient mythical beast — the phoenix?"
"How… How’s that possible? How could there be a phoenix here?"
At this point, everyone was thrown into a wave of confusion and panic
as they screamed out in fear.
Xu Que was standing at the side as he operated the amulet, laughing

out loud. "Idiot. Come, all of you come here!" Let me give you lot some
education. This is called a vermillion sparrow. How can you call
yourselves immortal cultivators if you don’t even know that! You bunch
of unsophiscated bumpkins, you can’t even differentiate between a
vermillion sparrow and a phoenix. If I were your sect leader, I would
expel every single one of you from my sect. So damn embarras sing…"
Xu Que looked extremely contented as he wanted to continue his flurry

of insults and verbal abuses. However, nobody seemed to care about
him right now. The several elders who were present were all extremely
fearful as they saw the appearance of the vermillion sparrow and were
trying their hardest to flee.
"Not good, let’s flee!"
"Go back and find Celestial Sect. This matter is beyond our control and
no longer our fight!"
"Hurry, retreat!"
Under the command, everyone around summoned their flying sword and
floated into the air as they attempted to escape.
Not far off, three additional beams of light materialized from the sky.
The roars of several other beasts rang out in the sky. A large green
dragon flew over from afar as it slithered majestical ly around in mid air.
It was so enormous that it almost seemed to block out the entire sky
from view.
A muscular and huge framed white tiger sped through the forest at the
speed of light and stopped beside Xu Que. The tiger glared vehemently
at the group of immortal cultivators.
In the next moment, a mountain seemed to be moving towards them.

When they looked up, they realized that it was a huge black turtle.
In that instant, they were surrounded by huge mythical beasts.
Everyone was stumped.
"Ancient… The four ancient mythical beasts…"
"My god. How is this possible?"
"There were ancient records of such creatures in existence once before.

But haven’t they flown over to the spiritual realm from here? How could
they appear here now?"
Everyone was horrified by the sight that had greeted them. The skies
and ground were blocked off by these gargantuan beasts and there was
nowhere for them to escape.
Just a single vermillion sparrow was enough to break their courage and
scare them off. It was needless to emphasize how afraid they were after
seeing three more powerful, legendary beasts make an appearance.
Their might and powers were as wide as the heavens and swept across
both the skies and lands. These cultivators had nowhere to run as they
were cornered by the four beasts.
Xu Que stood atop the mountain confidently as he glimpsed down upon

Elder Liu and laughed, "Now… Do you still think this spell can be broken
through?"
"Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! With your level of

cultivation, how could you have conjured such a mighty spell?" Elder Liu
was scared beyond measure.
Elder Liu had achieved recognition within the realm of spells as one of
the most experienced practitioners. Yet he had never heard of anyone
who was able to summon these legendary beasts to his side. How could
he ever bring himself to believe that a mere insect like Xu Que, who
hasn’t even broken past the Core bearing Stage be able to conjure such
powerful spells?
Right at this moment, a disciple pointed up into the sky at the green
dragon and shouted out, "That’s not right. Elders, take a look. The body
of the dragon seems more like a phantom than an actual dragon."
The minute he spoke out, everyone seemed to be startled.
Their eyes all fell upon the dragon and noticed t hat it was giving off
light.
"That’s right, the other three beasts are exactly the same. Their bodies
are not solid."
"They’re made out of light."
"That means to say, that these aren’t the actual four legendary beasts?"
Elder Liu craned his neck to take a look, his expression was one of
exuberrance as he gave out a loud laughter.
"Hahaha! I understand. Not bad, you little bastard. Not a bad plan at all.
You used deception to trick us once again."
"It’s now obvious that your spell is just a spell of de ception. You created
the phantoms of these four legendary beasts to scare us away.
Thankfully we realized your plans. If not, we’d have truly fallen for your
trickery."
The more Elder Liu spoke, the more agitated he became. As if he was
starting to realize that he was going to make it out of here alive after all.
Gradually, his expression turned into one of mockery as he laughed

coldly at Xu Que, "Come, I shall stand here. Command your four
legendary beasts to attack me."
Right now, Elder Liu had no fear on his face which he had shown earlier.
Instead, he looked confident and all assuming.
Standing in the middle of the four beasts as they converged on him, he

was calm and composed. He felt extremely formidable and mighty.
All the other disciples and elders recognized the situation and finally
understood the "truth". Hence, none of them were afraid any longer as
they smiled mockingly and shouted over to Xu Que.
"That’s very funny. A mere worm like yourself wants to trick us into
leaving?"
"Come on, we’re standing here and we shan’t move as well. Command
your beasts to attack us."
"That’s right. Come, I shan’t budge an inch. If I were to move, I shall call
you my grandpa."
"? ? ?"
Looking at the group of cultivators down below acting like this, Xu Que
looked extremely uncertain as many question marks formed in his head!
What’s the situation now?
Have the group of immortals gone retarded?
They would stand still and allow the four legendary beasts to attack
them?
Fine, I shall do that then. What a bunch of cocky cultivators, their

courage is astonishing.
It was just the old fogey acting tough the entire time. I didn’t expect the
entire lot of you to start acting tough and pretending to be courageous
as well!
"Sure then. Since you’ve requested for the beasts to attack you, I shall
happily accede to your request."
Xu Que then laughed out loud as he tapped the amulet in his hands and
turned the dial from a defensive stance to an attacking one!
Boom!
In that instant, the four beasts let out a huge roar and fixed their targets
upon the sect elder and their disciples.
Soon after, the beasts started roaring and screeching in loud noises as
killing intents radiated from their bodies. They charged towards the
group of cultivators on the peak of the mount ain.
Elder Liu and the rest of the cultivators still had the look of mockery on
their faces as they glared at the four beasts. They handled the situation
with extreme calmness and really stood still, unmoving.
"They’re just an illusion, phantoms. Even if they were real, they cannot
deceive me."
"Kid, I have to admit that your deceptive tools were done up very well
without any flaws. The only thing you did wrong here was to
underestimate Elder Liu’s perception and ability to see through
deception.
"Watch how I destroy your joke of an illusion!"
A disciple was anxious about showing off and impressing the elders. He
summoned his flying sword and charged straight at the oncoming
vermillion sparrow.
Although the vermillion sparrow was indeed made out light and thus had
no corporeal body, the flames on its body were actually real.
Those were the flames of the vermillion sparrow!
Even if the flames were not actually as powerful as those of an actual

vermillion sparrow, it was still definitely not something t his little
cultivator can handle.
Just as the disciple was flying up to meet the sparrow, he could feel a
strange sensation of heat spread across his body. The arrogant
expression on his face froze.
"Not right. That’s… That’s not an illusion… Ah!!!"
Even before he could finish screaming, the disciple was completely

engulfed by the flames of the vermillion sparrow.
After his last shriek sounded out, he was immediately reduced to a pile
of ashes.
A gentle breeze blew across, scattering the ashes of the disciple all over
the ground below!
The ashes fell onto the cultivators who were standing below. All of them
were stupefied by the sight and time seemed to have frozen as of the
moment.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a cultivator in t he Core

Bearing Stage. The reward is 1,000 experience points."
The system beeped out in Xu Que’s head!
"..."
There was a deathly silence all around as nobody moved an inch!
All the cultivators were shocked beyond measure as their faces turned
to looks of dread.
Didn’t we say that it was just an illusion?
Didn’t we say that it was all fake?
Then… Then why… How did it become real?
19 One Punch to End it All
Chapter 19: One Punch to End it All

"Rooarrrr!"
The sound of the green dragon roaring from the east was audible
throughout the entire area.
It’s large and long body circled the mountain and looked like a splendid
aura of green light dancing in the air and was an awe -inspiring sight!
"Pu! Pu! Pu!"
Several disciples whose cultivation level were too low lost all color in
their cheeks as they spat out blood.
Even before they could back away in retreat, the dragon let loose
another ear piercing roar.
Ba boom!
A split second after that roar, the skies over Pan Shan Village took a
tremendous turn as the clouds turned dark and filled up the entire area
above.
A flow of water as great as waterfalls started to descend down from the

clouds, straight upon the cultivators on the mountain.
"Is this… Is this the dragon race’s wind and rain summoning technique?"
"Not good. Run!"
Everyone struggled to flee from the oncoming torrent of water. However,

the water crashed heavily on most of the disciples standing below who
were unable to escape.
Boom!
Following the rumble of thunder, a huge bolt of lightning struck down

upon the water, causing many disciples who were drenched in water to
fry as they got electrocuted.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing a

Foundation Building Stage cultivator. The reward is 8,000 experience
points."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for success fully killing a Core
Bearing Stage cultivator. The reward is 10,000 experience points."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing a Core

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for increasing a level. The

cultivation level is now Core Bearing Stage level 2."
An entire string of notifications beeped in Xu Que’s head, causing him to

smile out in happiness.
So it seemed like killing people by using the spell can earn experience
points as well!
Also, he managed to increase in level so quickly. He felt extremely good

about it.
Xu Que then felt that purchasing this particular spell was extremely
worth it.
At the same time, there was a moment of chaos before several shadows
broke through the crowd and fled into the forest.
Those shadows belonged to the Golden Core Stage sect elders.
Their cultivation levels were anything but ordinary. However, with the
vermillion sparrow and the green dragon roaming the skies, th ey didn’t
dare to ride their flying swords. They then activated their highly
proficient physical abilities as they attempted to flee.
Even before they could travel far, a white shadow moving at the speed
of light overtook them. The sheer speed of the shadow was absolutely
terrifying.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
All of a sudden, an anguished cry rang out.
An elder had been taken away by that white blur. He was no longer with
them.
The rest of the elders were bewildered by this as their faces fell.
"Where’s Elder Li?"
"Damn it. That must be the white tiger. Let's split up."
When danger approaches and death is imminent, it's every man for
himself.
After realizing that Elder Li had been snatched away by the white tiger,
many of them didn't even bother stopping. In stead, they increased their
speed as they pushed their bodies to their maximum capabilities.
How could Xu Que ever let them get away?
He had been observing this mess the entire time. Then, he saw that
several elders had slipped through his nets. He took out his amulet and
directed the black tortoise towards the mountainous roads to obstruct
them.
He then activated his Lightning Haste and picked up speed to chase

after the elders.
Whoosh!
In just the span of several breaths, Xu Que managed to overtake and

stand in the way of several elders. He faced them and smiled.
"My fellow Daoist friends, you're really dishonest. Didn't you say that
you would stand still and allow me to attack? Why did you go back on
your words then?"
These few elders had witnessed Xu Que’s movement techniques and

weren't exactly taken aback by it.
"Good, little bastard. There's a nice path for you to walk towards
heavens and yet you chose to barge through the doorless realms of
hades."
Just now while you were hiding behind your protective screen, we
couldn't do anything to you. Now that you've come out and delivered
yourself to us to die, it looks like we just have to oblige you.
The few of them laughed out loud as an elder casted a spell. From
behind, a flying sword charged towards Xu Que with unbelievable speed
that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
Xu Que could feel a chill ran down his spine. Such insane speed
surpassed his imagination.
Even without thinking, the Lightning Haste came alive beneath his feet,
causing him to dodge the sword narrowly.
"Holy shit. I nearly screwed up and costed me my life. Looks like I

underestimated the powers of these Golden Core Stage cultivators."
He heaved a sigh of relief deep down and knew that his life was in
danger. He decided to place some distance between himself and these
old elders.
The minute he took a step back in retreat, the few elders had a rough
measure of his strengths and chased after him without hesitation.
While Xu Que fled, he didn't forget to occasionally turn his he ad back

and curse at them, "Fuck! You bunch of old balding men ganging up
together against one person? What kind of heroic gentlemen do you
claim to be? If you have the guts, let's do single combat."
Elder Liu was leading the rest of them as he replied coldly, "You’re not
worthy to bargain and negotiate with us. And definitely not worthy of our
time to fight with you individually."
"That's right. The reason the few of us are ganging up against you is to
avenge the deaths of our fallen disciples."
The rest of the elders didn't slow down as they continued to pursue Xu
Que atop their flying swords.
After a short while, Xu Que was beyond vexed.
Indeed, he had severely underestimated the strengths of the Golden

Core Stage elder and was almost killed by the flying sword but that
didn't mean that he couldn't win them.
"Damn it. Just because this tiger doesn't show it's ferocity doesn't mean
it's a sick cat!"
(T/N : A Chinese saying for ‘don't underestimate me’.)
Xu Que shouted out and felt his body tremble as he reached into his
core energy. He then shouted, "Soaring Dragon Nine Transfomation,
activate!"
Boom!
In that instant, nine rays of blue lights burst out from his body and shine
upwards into the sky, where it formed nine dragons.
The awe inspiring and formidable aura of the dragons could be felt as it
filled the entire area.
Several sect elders recoiled in fear and assumed the disturbance to be

caused by the green dragon from the protective screen. However, it
didn't take long for them to realize tha t something wasn't quite right.
Why were there nine dragons now? And why were they blue?
In the next moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
Nine blue gigantic dragons circled the air once before charging towards
Xu Que as they swirled around his head.
A loud boom rang out. They previously perceived Xu Que as imperfect

and weak yet he had just exhibited powers so amazing and frightening.
In a split second, he resembled the son of dragons as he looked down
upon them from above like a superior being.
The dragon aura which he wore around his head was so powerful that
he caused severe headaches to several cultivators around.
"How’s that possible?"
"What… What spell is that?"
"Can there really be such a strange spell in this world?"
Several elders shouted out in fear as they struggled to believe their own
eyes.
Xu Que laughed out loudly, "Haha! You wish to combine strength and kill
me? Come on! I wish to take on ten of you together."
As he finished speaking, his body moved in a blur as he activated the

Three Thousand Volt Lightning, charging down towards the cultivators.
"Oh no. Run!"
The face of the elders turned drastically, as they made a bid to flee.
Within a short frame of time, the roles had been reversed. The hunter
was now the prey.
However, Xu Que’s movement speed was so quick that even cultivators
in the Golden Core Stages couldn’t match up to him. Especially since he
had the Lightning Haste which originated from its destruction of the blue
dome of heaven.
Whoosh!
Following the buzz of several electric arcs, Xu Que’s shadow appeared

behind an elder. With his fist clenched into a ball, he struck.
"Pu!"
The punch was so powerful that his fist sunk deep into the elder’s chest
as fresh blood splashed all over.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing one Golden Core
Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a single
golden core."
"Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully gaining a level. The

current cultivation level is Core Bearing Stage Level 3."
Damn, looks like I leveled up again!
And I even managed to acquire a golden core.
Xu Que was pleasantly surprised by the rewards. Killing a single Golden

Core Stage cultivator would grant him 50,000 experience points.
According to his previous speed, every Golden Core Stage cultivator he
killed would allow him to increase in one level.
Then what am I waiting for?
Kill!
Xu Que didn’t hesitate as he conjured his Lightning Haste skill, chasing

down the second elder.
In his eyes, the entire group of Golden Core Stage elders before him
had turned into an entire mountain of experience.
The remaining elders were so horrified that their face contorted in fear
and panic.
What kind of person is this?
He was just a mere Core Bearing Stage cultivator. Why was his strengt h
and powers as tremendous as a cultivator in the Original Infant Stage?
A single punch was enough to kill an Elder from the Sun Set faction!
That had to be sorcery!
20 Strength of the Four Directions Desolation
Chapter 20: Strength of the Four Directions Desolation

"Boom!"
A loud crash resounded as Xu Que stepped onto a bolt of lightning while

he charged towards the second elder to finish him off.
"This is bad. Run!"
The rest of the elders panicked as they ignored the shocks within their
hearts. They hurriedly drew energy from deep within their core and
attempted to escape as quickly as possible. Their expressions were
contorted with fear and deep dissatisfaction.
However, after fleeing for a short period of time, Elder Liu’s expression
fell as he opened his eyes wide and shouted out, "Oh no! The
mountainous roads ahead are being obstructed by th e black turtle! We
cannot get past it!"
"What?"
The few of them started to feel anxious.
If a person wasn’t able to win a fight, he would just flee. At this point,
even the option to flee was being taken away.
Could it really be that after several hundred years of diligent cultivation,

it was all going to end today?
"No. That little rascal is just a mere Core Bearing Stage cultivator. I’ve
waited and cultivated for so long to become a Golden Core Stage
cultivator and finally became an elder of my sect. I must not perish to his
hands!" An elder bellowed out after being forced into the corner as he
exploded in fury, convincing himself not to give up.
The rest of them seemed to snap back as they recovered some stability
to their emotions and thoughts.
"That’s right. That little bastard could suddenly increase his strengths.
I’m certain that it must have something to do with a secret spell. As long
as we drag it out so that his body and core energy cannot handle the
prolonged stress of the spell, we should be able to kill him after."
"But his speed is so quick. We cannot drag him out for long."
"That’s right. This kid is doing all these to protect the villagers of Pan
Shan Village. As long as we control the lives of those mortals, he’s
doomed."
"So the villagers of Pan Shan Village are his weaknesses. Come, let’s
go. We can combine our efforts and strike. No matter how fast he
moves, he’s still alone after all. Let’s see how many people he can
rescue."
The few of them were the sect elders from different sects and were
renowned in their own rights. They were all experienced, wise and
crafty. The minute they found a way out, they stepped atop their flying
swords and dashed down towards Pan Shan Village from different
directions.
Xu Que noticed their sudden change in action and was astonished. Soon
after, his lips curled into a smile.
"Looks like this bunch of people aren’t stupid as well. They actually
thought of using the villagers to put me in a tight spot."
"Such a shame… The Four Direction Desolation spell already killed so

many people just because they were close to it. Now that you’re thinking
of breaking through it, isn’t that suicide? But that’s good for me as well.
It saves me the trouble of hunting each one of you down."
Thinking this way, Xu Que slowed his speed down. He then turned
around and laughed to the elders, "Why’s everyone running so fast? Are
you rushing to be reincarnated when you die?"
The muscles on the elder’s faces twitched as their expression revealed

one of utter desperation.
With their status, the entire Fire Country would recognize them as
superior immortals.
However, they were being mocked and chased around by a mere Core
Bearing Stage kid. They were all incensed by the current situation which
they found themselves in. It would be strange if they weren’t upset.
Elder Liu’s face contorted in ugly anger, "Everyone, please don’t be

anxious. He’s trying to agitate us to go back and fight with him. At this
point, the four legendary beasts are already outside of the protective
spell. That means that the spell is at its weakest point. As long as he
charge straight for Pan Shan Village, that little bastard would have to
kneel down and kowtow to save his villager’s life.
Xu Que was just behind them, listening to Elder Liu speak.
This Elder Liu is truly a "genius"!
To be honest, if Elder Liu wasn’t present to mix, stir bullshit,and

haphazardly make wrong guesses, Xu Que wouldn’t have been so
successful in his plans today.
The most important thing was that Elder Liu unknowingly gav e him a
necessary boost at this critical juncture and even decided to take his
friends with him to die. It was so touching that Xu Que was almost
reduced to tears that Elder Liu had actually helped him.
He started to feel that not only was this Elder Liu a genius, but he was a
close and intimate family member— one who raised him up.
It’s just that although Elder Liu was as good as family for helping him,
he still deserved to die!
"Heheh!"
A gleam of craftiness could be seen in Xu Que’s eyes as he decided to

play along and poke fun of them.
He then stepped onto the bolt of lightning as he started to chase down

the rest of them.
At this time, he decided to pretend to be angry and thus wore a look of

furiousness. In a loud and hoarse voice, he shouted, "All of you stop
now!,Don’t force me to use my ultimate spell which will summon dragons
from hell and will place an unholy seal upon this land. That would wipe
out everyone in this area. Frankly speaking, even I’m afraid to use that
spell!"
Xu Que randomly fabricated a spell which sounded extremely horrifying

and threatening.
After hearing this, Elder Liu and the rest of them were astounded as
their expressions took a great turn.
After seeing Xu Que summon the horrifying "Soaring Dragon Nine

Transformations", everyone was already tense and severely afraid of
this man.
"I was right. The villagers on Pan Shan Village is his weakness. If not,
he wouldn’t be angry that we aren’t chasing him any longer and are
heading for the village now. Let’s rush onwards!" Elder Liu gave a loud
shout as the rest of the elders increased their speed while they charge
towards Pan Shan Village.
They were extremely clear that once they capture the villagers and use
them as hostages, they would be able to control Xu Que.

Xu Que watched on contentedly as they seemed determine to head

towards their death. After hearing the message ring out within his head
from the system, he started to wear an expression of exasperation as he
chased after them, all the while extremely happy deep down.
In the breaths of a several seconds, Elder Liu and the rest of the elders
were heading fast towards Pan Shan Village.
As they glared at the protective screen of light, they sped up instead of

slowing down, rushing straight into it as they casted protective and
offensive spells.
"Boom!"
Wraps of fire circled the elders’ bodies. With a wave of their hands, a
long stream of fire emanated from their hands as it shot towards the
protective screens.
"Once we’re in, capture those mortals and hold them hostage. Let’s go!"
Elder Liu led the charge as he waved his hands and shouted. It was a
formidable sight.
The rest of the elders following behin d him revealed cold laughters.
They were already imagining using the lives of the villagers to threaten
and blackmail Xu Que. With the villagers, they could subject him to
insurmountable abuse and torture.
Xu Que was following closely behind when he stopped all of a sudden.

With a cheeky smile, he waved his hands and shouted out aloud,
"Balding old men, safe journeys! I hope you get reincarnated to a good
life, I shan’t see you off then."
The few elders were stumped.
What’s happening?
What did that kid say? Safe journeys?
Damn it. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
"Boom doom ------!"
Even before they could react, the fire shield around their bodies clashed
against the protective screen and disintegrated instantaneously.
Soon after, a huge wave of energy rippled out from within the protective
shield and converged upon them. It was as if they were charging straight
into the mouths of a gigantic beast, swallowing them whole.
"No!"
Elder Liu finally reacted as he opened his eyes wide and gave out a loud
cry.
But everything was too late!

The Four Directions Desolation was nicknamed, "Destroyer of
Trespassers!"
This phrase really wasn’t playing around.
Prior to this, when the group of elders were still lingering beyond the
screen, there was a limit to the strength and powers of the beasts, who
were controlled by Xu Que via the amulet.
At this point however, the several Golden Core Stage elders rushed
straight into the protective screen. It was as good as surrendering
themselves to the spider’s web!
The Four Directions Desolation doesn't just possess the four legendary
beasts. The strength of the shield would really manifest in protecting an
area!
After the few elders were taken to be trespassers and hostile people,
they were swallowed by the protective spell. Instantly, they could see
everything warp and distort around them before eventually settling down
into a desolate land.
They were trapped within an illusory realm as their mortal bodies were
being taken captive by the protective shield. Thus, they were stripped
off of all other powers and forced to linger along the desolate plains as
mere mortals.
There were extremely hot and dry deserts, in addition to swamps

housing thousands of poisonous animals. There was also a snowy and
frozen area, upon which only hunger and cold were present…
But everything was just an illusion!
The old elders were being taken captives by the protective

enchantments. In the illusory realms, their aged bodies were stripped off
of their powers and cultivation efforts. Instantly, the toll of their ages
came back to them all at once as they were unable to sustain the
torment.
Even before they could reach the third area of desolation, their spirits
were vanquished and destroyed. With a ‘dong’ they all collapsed to their
deaths and ceased to exist!

21 Off the Charts Acting Tough Points
Chapter 21: Off the Charts Acting Tough Points

Following a series of system reward beeps, the surroundings gradually

regained its original silence.
Several elders landed within the Four Desolation realms and were
trapped there ‘till death. The rest of the remaining disciples— without
any exceptions, were slaughtered by the four legendary beasts, turning
all of them into experience points for Xu Que.
"Rustle! Rustle!"
A slight gust blew past Xu Que’s hair strands.
He reached for the amulet and gently spun it. Immediately, the four
legendary beasts disappeared with the wind, dissolving into dense Qi
and flowed into Pan Shan village.
"I am done, finally."
Xu Que heaved a long sigh of relief, opened the system interface and
his character stats appeared in front of him.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Stage: Core Bearing Stage Level 5 (Clear Understanding)
Experience progress: 0/200000
Skill path: , Intermediate Level
Abilities : Soaring Dragons Nine Transformation (Maximum), Lightning

Haste (Maximum)
Essence: Skill Path Essence (330 points)
Occupation: None
Status : Prince Consort of Fire Country
Just one battle moved him from Core Bearing Stage 1 to Core Bearing
Stage level 5.
More importantly, it allowed him to acquire a whole 350 points of act

tough points.
This 350 act tough points was a very big sum to Xu Que. It was also the
most act tough points he had obtained to date.
"Hahahaha! I’ve earned it big this time." Xu Que let out a big laugh
momentarily.
However, the experience required for him to level up also increased.

From Core Bearing Stage Level 1 to 2, it only required 30000
experience points. But now, to level up from Core Bearing Stage level 5
to 6, it required a whopping whole 200000 experience points. The
difficulty has increased substantially.
Still, compared to the other cultivators in this world, who mostly meditate
to train and absorb Qi, Xu Que’s speed of advancement is frighteningly
fast.
That was the reason Xu Que didn’t really feel the difficulty. F urthermore,
acquiring the 350 act tough points made him extremely happy.
With this much act tough points, he could buy many more items,
including the Advanced Rank page , which was just a mere 100 act
tough points. Time to buy, buy, buy!
What a wonderful feeling to have such happy events happening. Xu Que

recalled obtaining a few golden cores after killing those Golden Core
Stage elders and quickly opened his system item bag.
A few brightly shining, fist-sized golden colored beads were inside.
Originated from within the bodies of Golden Core Stage cultivators. It

contains the cultivator’s accumulated life origin and skill paths. Upon
swallowing, it has a 30% chance of obtaining the previous cultivator’s
skills path obtained throughout their entire life, but has 30% chance of
the swallower going out of control. If sold to the system, 50000
experience points can be obtained!
"Damn it, who knew golden cores have this type of effect." Xu Que
shockingly exclaimed.
Previously, the beginner experience gain pill he ate was able to raise his
experience points by 10000. But this golden core, on top of being able
to sell to the system for 50000 experience points, it could be swallowed
to obtain the previous Golden Core Stage owner’s skill path but at a risk
of losing control. This core is definitely an upgraded edition of an
experience pill!
However, since Xu Que has no lack of skills at the moment, he definitely

will not take the risk and swallow the golden core.
Also, he is not in a hurry to level up. He’d rather leave it in his system
item bag for times of need.
After reading the golden core’s description, Xu Que switched to the view
of the system store. With pockets full and good condition, he
immediately centered his focus on the skill book bundle of the store.
A dazzling line-up of many types of skills, Xu Que was in a spoilt for

choice situation once again.
According to importance, he should acquire the expert level, but his

current Cultivation stage was still a long way more from the Original
Infant stage which in other words, also mean that there was no present
need to buy the expert page.
Also, after the fight, Xu Que found out a problem.
He realized that his skill books were too one-way. When he fought, he
did not have a wide variety of moves to use and he felt that although he
was acting tough, he wasn’t enjoying it.
Although the combination of the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations

and the Thunder Haste were very swift and powerful, all he was doing
was using his bare fists to engage in combat, far from his imagination of
riding on a flying sword and drifting high into the mountains of celestial
beings.
How was he supposed to act tough with a tough -appearing sense of

style?
Therefore, Xu Que decided to exchange for a few more skills books and
at the same time, might as well buy new valuable equipments. It would
be even better if he could get hold a set of golden, shiny clothes — shiny
enough to blind all those other cultivators.
With the 350 act tough points, he immediately chose to browse thro ugh
the sky-rank skills.
Originated from one of"Zhu Xian"story novel’s skill book, low level skill
of Sky-rank. Unique technique from within Qing Yun Men’s main
mountainous region. With power through the Nine Heavens, it turns into
godly thunder. Using the sword to draw its power, a brilliant might is
unleashed.
Selling price: 50 act tough points.
Originated from one of"Fight Break Spheres"story novel’s battle skill,

low level skill of Sky-rank. From the novel, this was Xiao Yan’s personal
skill and was created through the fusion of many different types of
flames to create a destructive force. The power of the Fiery Lotus itself
depends on the number of the various flames combined. Capacity and
potential of this skill is unlimited! (Warning: This battle skill requires
possession of 2 or more fusion of different flames to execute.)
Originated from one of"Zhe Tian"story novel’s skill book, mid-level skill
of Sky-rank. Attack and defense is merged into one. With this s kill,
earth-shaking strength is achieved, breaking through any forms of
obstruction. In the story, body physique was merged with the "Emperor"
to hone this skill to its pinnacle, able to shatter any Buddha artifact
weapons or even better, rip them into not hing!
Selling price: 100 act tough points
(Remaining Volumes):
Originated from one of"Zhe Tian"story novel’s skill book, high-level skill
of Sky-rank. Originally the power of the Nine Secrets into one. However,
due to the skill defying the natural order, it was forbidden by Buddha.
Hence, since ancients ago, it was divided into nine parts, namely,
"Arrive", "Troop", "Battle", "People", "All", "Count", "Group", "Forward",
"Move"!
Within them, the "Arrive" Secret character and the "Count" Secret
character were lost in translation. When exchanging the remaining
volumes, there is a chance on obtaining any of the other 7 remaining
secret technique. Repeated Secret characters possible with more
purchases.
Upon reading till this point, Xu Que knelt down on the spot!
So many skill books and all of them were the signature skills from the
main characters of various novels. It was absolutely mouth -watering to
read the descriptions.
However, this bundle of skill books had very little skills which needed or
made use of magical weapons to activate. The only attractive one which
fits this description was the . Xu Que wasn’t very keen of it though.
What really perked his desire were the and the .
Buddha’s Fiery Lotus didn’t need much explaining. After fusing the
flames, the power unleashed would be enough to wipe out everything in
an instant. Also, the more variety of mystical flames fused, the more
devastating the effects of the skill. This skill was an absolute bargain.
Obtaining the flame was a problem. Xu Que searched through the store
and was shocked at their prices.
For example, the ranked 19th flame, Molten Green Lotus, required an
expensive 300 act tough points.
"Looks like the road of acting tough is filled with obst acles. I have no
choice but to buy the Nine-Characters Secret first, and wait till I strike it
rich to buy all the top ten ranked flames." Xu Que nodded and focused
on the Nine-Characters Secret.
This skill, originally from"Zhe Tian"’s as an unsurpassed s kill, showed

valiant might.
Other than the 2 lost secrets, the remaining 7 all had descriptions.
"Troop" secret character: Weaponry type secret skill. Using it allows the
smooth and natural maneuver of weapons and even temporarily seize
control of enemies’ weapons, causing friendly fire even before the battle
has begun. An absolute nightmare for opponents.
"Battle" secret character: Attack type secret skill. First sacred attack art,
being able to copy many moves. Using "Battle" secret character, one
can raise their attack power. Also, steal moves for own usage will be
available.
"People" secret character: Aid type secret skill. An unsurpassed sacred

healing art. Able to heal physical and spiritual injuries. Upon control,
bodily injuries regenerate. Upon mastery, able to revive using the
dripping of own blood. The user can even be nicknamed "The unkillable
cockroach."
"All" secret character: Amplifying type secret skill. Can raise one’s
attributes by 10 folds but lowers the hit probabilities.
"Group" secret character: Aid type secret spell. A special type of troop
formation line tactic which created the Ling Bao Deity.
"Forward" secret character: Aid type secret skill, can be used to assist
cultivation, heightens the sixth sense. As a result, user will b e able to
anticipate attacks. Therefore, always maintaining the combat lead.
"Move" secret character: Speed type secret skill. Once under control,
speed is unmatched and nobody will be able to catch or block the user.
It will be akin to strolling amongst the ranks of enemies. When trained to
the limit, user will be able to bend time with extreme speed.
...
22 Definitely Powerful
Chapter 22: Definitely Powerful

Every secret art from the Nine-Characters Secret were ultimate

techniques originated from various territories. With these skills— which
includes increasing one’s attack power, defense power, regenerative
power, and agility, one’s overall combat ability will be greatly enhanced
through the Nine-Characters Secret.
Xu Que looked very contented. However, it seems like the system store
is behaving like a black market. It only sold leftover chapters with each
skill costing a whole 200 act tough points.
Also, with every purchase, the acquired skill would be random. It would
be possible that one gets the "Battle" secret character twice in a row
upon purchase.
Still, since this was Xu Que’s first purchase, he wasn’t very stressed at
the fact.
However, he was eyeing the "Troop" and "Battle" secret characters.
The reason was because these two secret skills were perfect tools t o act
tough.
The "Troop" secret character could be used to steal control over one’s
magical weapons, allowing the enemies’ own weapons to attack their
owner. The "Battle" secret character could be used to copy enemies’
moves and even raise one attack power. It was similar to Mu Rong
Family’s ‘An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth’ within the novel"Demi -
Gods and Semi-Devils".
Using one’s own weapons against him and using his own moves against
himself, it would be definitely embarrassing for the opponent.
Of course, the "People" and "Forward" secret characters were not too
shabby.
The "People" secret character can be used anytime to regenerate

injuries. Although the system has passive automatic regeneration, it was
very slow. Moreover, the "People" secret c haracter has a more
frightening ability. Upon mastery, one could revive any living creatures
using a drip of his blood. There was no need to be afraid to be
destroyed thoroughly by opponents.
The "Forward" secret character was mainly used to cultivate one ’s spirit
and heightens one’s sixth sense. In other words, one will gain the ability
to foresee moves. With the ability to predict, one will be able to judge
and carry out the correct course of actions during combat, gaining
dominance in the fight. This skill was definitely a good choice to act
tough.
The ones Xu Que did not want to get were the leftover "Group", "Move"
and "All" secret characters. It was not to say that these skills were not
good, but to Xu Que, these two categories of secret skills were not
usable at all.
The "Group" secret character was a type of troop tactic based move and
Xu Que wouldn’t use it very often.
The "Move" secret character’s function is to increase speed but he

already possessed the Three-Thousand Volt Thunder thus he had no
use for it.
The "All" secret character was the same. Since he had the Soaring
Dragon Nine Transformations, he did not need this secret skill at the
moment. Choosing anyone of these skills would be an undesirable
outcome.
"Eh… screw that! I shan’t think so much. I am going to get this Nine-
Characters Secret!"
After a moment of hesitation, Xu Que finally made his decision,and

bought the expensive and wallet-burning Nine-Characters secret.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on the successful ex change of

(Remaining Volume). Obtained "Troop" secret character x 1. Do you
want to learn this skill?"
"Yeah! Awesome!"
After hearing the system beep, Xu Que threw his fist in the air and let
out a big laugh.
"Troop" secret character. How nice!
Xu Que’s happiness was off the charts.
"Train it, I have to train it!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on successfully learning the

"Troop" secret character."
Bang!
Xu Que’s mind abruptly shook with strings of golden colored ancient
characters flowing by like water waves relentlessly. Ultimately, the
characters fused into a mysterious force, taking root within his body.
Xu Que raised the corner of his lip and continued, "I shall exchange for
and ."
"Ding! Exchange successful. Do you want to learn the skills?"
"Yes!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Momentarily, his body emitted two waves of heat and flowed out of his
body through his veins.
In a blink of an eye, Xu Que had learnt two skills.
The "Flame-Devouring Wave" and "Six Corporeal Forms" both originated

from the techniques of the novel "Fight Break Spheres". They were
moves used by the main character, Xiao Yan in the early stage of the
book to dispose of strong enemies in a sweep.
Although very cheap— priced at a mere 25 act tough points, adding the
cost of the greatswords needed for the two skills, it would far surpass
the cost of the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations. It would even
surpass the cost of low-level Sky-ranked skill books.
During his younger days, when Xu Que was reading the novel, when
Xiao Yan held the ink-coloured, dark heavy greatsword, he felt that his
character was uncomparable. It seemed like he looked very tough
everywhere he went. And now, here he was, learning these two
immersive skills. He couldn’t wait anymore and entered the weaponry
section of the system store and started to choose his greatswords.
The weapons bundle were filled with many classes and levels of magical
weapons. They were split into the amount of stars they have. The higher
the star level, the better the quality of the weapon.
There were not many choices for the heavy greatsword and the numbers
could be counted.
The lowest class was .
The weapon was from strongest godly sword from another of a novel by
Jin Yong, a novelist. It was forged using dark metal, weighi ng 64
pounds; wielded by the sword demon, Dugu Qiubai, he became
unbeatable in the world for 40 years.
After Dugu Qiubai’s death, the Dark Iron Heavy-Sword was passed on to
Yang Guo. It was later melted by Huang Rong and later reforged into the
Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Saber.
The greatsword did not have a pointed edge, since it was rectangular
shaped. Hence it also belonged to blunt class weapons. Although it has
1 star level, it requires 50 act tough points to purchase which was pretty
frightening.
However, the "Troop" secret character, along with the two Earth -rank
skills, costed only a total of 225 act tough points. He still had a hundred
over points, and was confident that he could buy a stronger weapon
than this.
He focused his attention to 2 star level weapons.
Originated from within novel "Fight Break Spheres"’s weapons. Used by

the main character, Xiao Yan. Forged by flame-type dark metals, this
weapon is very sturdy and solid. Seemingly weighing like over a
thousand pounds, it has a mystical effect of crushing enemies.
The Dark Heavy-Greatsword was very similar to the Dark Iron

Longsword. However, the blade of the greatsword seemed very big and
bulky. Moreover, on that dark giant greatsword, there wer e faint, exotic
vein-like on the blade itself. The vein-like design stretched up to its
handle. The carvings filled the entirety of the blade, along with its plain
dark and simple colour. It looked rather mysterious indeed.
"I’m buying it!"
Xu Que moved his hand in a wide motion, immediately buying the Dark
Heavy-Buster Sword, which had a price comparable to that of a mid-
level Sky-rank skill book.
I will definitely look especially tough now that I am similar to Xiao Yan!
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on obtaining Dark Heavy-Buster

Sword."
"Ding! Detected that host has learnt the ‘Flame -Devouring Wave’ and
‘Six Corporeal Forms’ skills. Completed hidden achievement. Awarded
with Xiao Yan’s Black Robe x 1."
Wow! Damn!
What’s happening? I got a free hidden achievement prize for buying

something?
But what does Xiao Yan’s Black Robe do?
Does it have any attribute effects?
Xu Que’s face was stunned. He then quickly opened his system

inventory.
Unsellable item. A robe worn by Flame Emperor Xiao Yan when he was
young, making it very valuable. Able to conceal one’s appearance.
Cultivation stages of Infant Transformation and below will be unable to
detect concealment. While wearing the robe, it gives opponents a
pressure of immense power.
"Damn. Is this the legendary automatic acting tough?"
Xu Que was very excited upon the occurrence of the event.
Being able to conceal one’s appearance is nothing but being able to

give opponents a pressure of immense presence is really something big.
Thinking of it, once the robe is worn, an immense pressure will follow
everywhere I go. Everyone will focus their attention on my presence and
will immediately trigger the "Subtle acting tough" reward.
"Hahahaha! Wherever I walk, no one can resist my presence."
Xu Que was overjoyed. He immediately took out the black robe and the
Dark Heavy-Greatsword.
The moment the black robe was donned, his aura changed. He was
exuding an icy cold and deep presence.
Xu Que then carried the Dark Heavy-Buster Sword on his back, creating
a spitting image of a fake Xiao Yan.
"Wow! It feels rather good. When I have time, I shall change into this set
and walk around the Sects to earn some act tough points.?"
With a contentful nod, Xu Que kept both the items back into his system
inventory.
He didn’t want to show up at Pan Shan Village looking like this. He was
afraid that with the robe, the immense pressure will cause the villagers
to kneel down and worship him again.
At the moment, the Pan Shan Villagers were stupefied.

When Xu Que was fighting a war with those cultivators on the
mountains, the villagers were watching from below.
When the four legendary beasts were summoned, the villagers were
badly frightened.
When they saw that the fairy-boned "Old Saints" were forced into the
spell by Xu Que and killed all of a sudden, they all gained their senses
immediately.
Looking up, the vermillion bird and the green dragon had already
disappeared.
The skies were blue and the mountains were intact!
Xu Que changed back into the coarse hemp robes. With a mesmerizing
smile, he rode on the lightning and hovered down from the mountains
with his clothes fluttering with the wind.
Amongst the crowd, Xiao Rou was dazed. With the small and blushy
face and beady eyes, she was so adorable, that someone would just
take a bite out her.
23 Gaining Interes
Chapter 23: Gaining Interest

Upon Xu Que’s arrival, cheers could be heard.
Everyone gathered around and asked if he had been hurt but judging
from Xu Que’s unfazed appearance, everybody was surprised and
praised that immortal elder Xu’s skills were unremarkable.
"Don’t worry, my fellow villagers. With the spell that I had set up, those
people will never come back to cause trouble again." Xu Que assured
the villagers.
The villagers were very thankful. They wanted to kneel down to thank
him but were stopped by Xu Que. It was after countless r ounds of
persuading that they decided not to kneel.
At this time, a man from the crowd walked out and worriedly asked,
"Immortal Elder Xu, what do we do now? During your battle, we saw two
people sneaking off from the battlefield. We are afraid that they will call
for more backup…"
"Oh, two of them ran off?" Xu Que didn’t look too surprised.
He was too fixated on killing Elder Liu and the others. Two disciples
escaping from him was rather normal.
This wasn’t a very big deal to him. Even if none of them escaped,
receiving no news from Elder Liu and the others would cause Celestial
Sect to return anyway.
"Please rest assured, you people can just stay here. The spell will
protect you all." Xu Que comforted the group.
Even if he decided to bring the villag ers and flee through the
underground passage to the back of the mountains, the cultivators
would have a vast range of powers to search for them. The results
would be the same.
In addition, without the protection of the Four Directions Desolation, it

would only put the villagers in more danger.
"Everyone listen to Big brother Xu Que. He will definitely protect us."

Xiao Rou ran out and told everybody.
Xu Que smiled at her. She started to blush and looked cutely sincere.
The villagers saw her sincerity and couldn’t help but to reveal honest
smiles all around. Xiao Rou then turned and ran away.
Everybody eventually scattered and returned to their homes to rest.
Xu Que was starting to think about what to do with Pan Shan village's
future.
After all, he could not stay here for a long period of time. The world is
vast and he desired to explore them but before leaving, he had to decide
on the future plans for the safety of the village.
With the Four Directions Desolation locked in position, the Pan Shan
villagers were all safe and protected.
With such large areas of land and lakes, including many goats and
chickens on the mountains, even if the villagers do not step foot outside,
they will be able to survive in the future and be self -sufficient.
However, it seems like the village still needs some supplies. For
example, food reserves and also some seeds to be planted.
Xu Que found the men and heard that there was a small town in the
vicinity of Pan Shan Village. The village not only had commoners
residing in it, but also have frequent visits by cultivators who went there
to enjoy themselves.
"After walking past two mountains, you will be able to see the small
town. Immortal Xu, shall we go instead?"
The men learnt that Xu Que wanted to purchase supplies on the

village’s behalf and became very concerned.
The reason was because Xu Que’s wanted posters were all over the
streets of the small town. He will definitely be attacked by more
cultivators if he goes there.
"There is no need. There are many supplies which you can’t carry alone.
Besides, if you go, you will become an easy target for suspicion. I can
handle this." Xu Que patted Da Zhuang’s shoulder and rejected his
proposal.
In actuality, Xu Que couldn’t wait for more people to kill for experience
points. Furthermore, with the , he can conceal his appearance. He had
no need to be worried about cultivators finding out his identity.
After making his decision, Xu Que ordered the men to ask what the rest
of the villagers wanted to buy. He could get them on the way.
Upon hearing, Xiao Rou was the first to go to Xu Que. She said, "Big
Brother Xu Que, please remember to buy a few pieces of good fabric on
your way back."
"Fabric?" Xu Que asked shockingly.
Blushing, Xiao Rou nodded and mumbled, "Your clothes don’t look like
they fit, I… I would like to make a new set for you."
Xu Que proceeded to look downwards at the coarse hemp clothes he

was wearing then looked back at Xiao Rou, who shyly lowered her head.
He laughed and replied, "Alright, I will get it."
"Mm." Xiao Rou replied, turned around and jogged back.
Looking at her cute silhouette, Xu Que felt a sensation of warmth.

Unknowingly, he let out a slight smile filled with happiness.
Xu Que decided to set off in the evening when the sun had set.
He went through the underground passage and donned on his . In the

sight of no one, he decided to quietly activate his and swiftly proceeded
into the distance.
With the night impending, Xu Que finally arrived at the Town of Water.
Although they said that it was a small town, it didn’t seem like it at all.
With one look, Xu Que felt that the town was at least a few football
fields big. The town walls were constructed to be very high and there
was a patrol team at the town entrance.
Looking up in the skies of the Town of Water, he could witness various

cultivators, steering on their flying swords from time to time.
When Xu Que walked into the town, it was bustling with life. The night
market was vibrant with bright lights all around.
Noises could be heard from several inns and many cultivators were
drinking and talking to their hearts’ content. Many of them were Sect
disciples who were of Qi Refining Stage.
Xu Que scanned through and decided to leave. All of a sudden, he saw

a bunch of similar shadow walking past him.
"It’s her." Xu Que’s skipped a beat.
The owner of the silhouette was the woman whom Xu Que saw when he
just arrived in this world. This woman was also Tang Xue Rou of the
Celestial Sect.
At the same time, a few young cultivators similarly dressed in Celestial

Sect robes can be seen accompanying her. They were carrying sharp
swords on their backs and walking out of an inn while happily chatting
away. It seemed like they just finished their food and were about to
leave.
While walking, their eyes fixed momentarily on Xu Que. They were

astonished.
Tang Xue Rou did not recognize Xu Que as he was wearing Xiao Yan’s
Black Robe. On top of concealing his appearance, he was emitting an
immense aura.
The reason they turned their attention to him was d ue to this aura.
Xu Que didn’t want to care about these few people and definitely did not
want to reveal his identity. Without speaking, he proceeded to walk past
them.
After a few steps, mumbling and discussing could be heard from those
few people.
"What a strong aura!"
"You dress oddly but who knew you had such high cultivation?"
"When he was standing beside us, I was feeling suffocated. How

strong!"
"..."

tough. The reward is 10 act tough points."
Xu Que was silently overjoyed when he heard the system beep in his
mind.
He guessed it right. This black robe was definitely a perfect tool to act
tough. He should definitely wear it more and walk the streets.
"Yes. Have you guys heard? Something happened to a few Sect

members today. We heard that the person who is wanted by us is at Pan
Shan village. In the end, out of the few elders sent there, only two
disciples managed to escape. The rest didn’t make it back alive."
"Of course I know. The Sunset Faction members came over to our
faction to discuss about this today."
"I’ve also heard that the wanted man has big origins. He is the son of
some big guy."
At the moment, the Celestial Sect disciples burst into discussion.
After that sentence, Xu Que slowed down his footsteps and went to a
halt. He was astonished.
What?
I have big origins? And I’m the disciple of some famous person
surnamed Duan?
How come I didn’t know that?
24 There Are Already Legends Spreading About Me
Chapter 24: There Are Already Legends Spreading About Me

Xu Que was astonished. The spate of events just happened today. It

was totally unexpected that the disciples from the Celestial Sect had
already received word of the incident. On top of that, they were already
discussing about the incident.
Before he even entered the town, the town already knew about him!
Not bad, not bad. This is a good omen!
Xu Que’s heart of vanity was filled with contentment and his face
inevitably broke into a smile.
Since he wasn’t really in a rush, he might as well eavesdrop on them.

He leaned against the wall, acting like he was waiting for someone,
lifted his ears and sneakily listened to the Celestial Sect disciple’s
conversation.
"It’s been said that this great man’s name is famous throughout the east
continent and our Sect Leader is very afraid of him."
"Can it really be? Where does the man came from?"
"Heard that his name is Duan Jiu De."
"That’s right. This afternoon, when the Sunset Faction came to our Sect
to find the leader, we were guarding the gates. When we saw the Sect
Leader hearing the three words ‘Duan Jiu De’, his face looked very
shocked and he even addressed him as Senior Duan. Think about it. If
even our Sect Leader addressed him as ‘Senior’, wouldn’t that person
be insanely strong?"
"What? Could it be that the person that we offende d was a disciple of

that Senior Duan? Th-this could be bad!"
"Damn it. I’ve asked the Sunset Faction disciple about it since I am more
familiar with him. I’ve heard from him that the person we’ve offended is
indeed that Senior Duan’s disciple. He can’t be wrong."

tough. The reward is 10 act tough points!" Xu Que’s mind suddenly
sounded with the system beep amidst the conversation.
He became startled for a bit.
What the hell. This counts as successfully acting tough?
Looks like the requirement for acting tough is to simply witness or hear
my reputation being discussed by others.
However, the conversation has let Xu Que understood what was

happening to a small extent.
It turned out that those two Sunset Faction Disciples who escaped today
are spreading word by mouth.
At the time when Elder Liu and others mistook him for being Duan Jiu
De’s disciple, the rest of them witnessed the situation. When the two of
them fled, they immediately reported this information to their Faction.
Therefore, stirring up the current false rumors.
Of course, Xu Que didn’t wish to clarify the situation for them. His eye lit
up and a big opportunity to act tough was right in front of him again.
"Duan Jiu De. The man that even the Celestial Sect Leader calls senior
is believed to be my master? Haha! I’d be letting you all down if I don’t
make use of this situation to my advantage."
Xu Que let out a slight grin and quickly left to purchase the supplies.
At the same time, inside Celestial Sect’s discussion hall, several faction
elders including the Celestial Sect leader were all seated and were in a
midst of discussion.
Their topic was still related to Xu Que but they were in actuality
discussing about Duan Jiu De.
"This is no small matter. Senior Duan has an odd temperament and his
reputation… Cough… Everyone is very clear of it. Supposedly, we’ve
come to injure and hurt his disciple, according to his temper, I am afraid
that the consequences will be dire." One of the faction’s Elder spoke
while stroking his beard.
"Damn. You Fierce Flame Faction people had no losses from your side.
Of course you all would say that. A few disciples from our Sunset
Faction were injured and two Golden Core Stage Elders were killed. If
we let this matter slide, how do you expect our Sunset Faction to stand
in the Fire Country in the future?"
"That’s right. Us Fire Cloud Faction had many casualties as well. We

definitely cannot let the matter rest."
"That kid is extremely vicious. How can we just drop it like that? Please,
Sect Leader Zhang, handle the situation on our behalf."
"Sect Leader Zhang, please call the shots!" At the time, the members
and Elders of the several factions stood up, faced a middle-aged man
who was seated, and bowed to him as respect. They invited him to step
forth.
The middle-aged man was wearing a white satin python robe. His
appearance was dazzling and he emitted a powerful and prestigious
aura. Here is the Sect Leader of Celestial Sect, Zhang D an Shan!
Zhang Dan Shan was already at the Infant Transformation stage for
many years and had cultivated to the Infant Transformation Stage level
5. Although he was one level below the Fire Country’s emperor, his
strength was still one to behold.
The fact that the Celestial Sect was able to influence all the other
Faction as subordinates was naturally because of his boundless,
majestic powers.
Creasing his dense eyebrows, he felt that the current matter was not
easily resolved.
Duan Jiu De was such an infamous name and was already a household
name during Zhang Dan Shan’s younger days. They had even met one
another before.
He was aware of Senior Duan’s frightening prowess. Senior Duan hasn’t

appeared in the East Continent for around a hundred years but
suddenly, a youngster popped out of nowhere and claimed to be his
disciple. This caused Zhang Dan Shan to be somewhat suspicious.
However, he had heard that the youngster was carrying many types of
rare treasures, able to shrink the ground to escape from t he Original
Infant Stage Elder. He was capable of putting a spell around Pan Shan
Village, was of Core Bearing Stage, and single-handedly killed over ten
cultivators. Among the fallen cultivators were many Golden Core Stage
elders.
As if now, Zhang Dan Shan erased any thoughts of doubt and was
convinced that the youngster was definitely Duan Jiu De’s disciple.
Looking at the big picture, only that senior’s disciple would have such
powers. Also, their behaviours were too similar. For example, the
tendency of stealing treasures and having no qualms about killing
someone.
After pondering for some time, Zhang Dan Shan looked at the seated
members of those smaller Factions and finally spoke.
"The matter is indeed a big one. Most of you may have heard of Senio r
Duan’s past achievements and today, his disciple has come to us. By
right, we should pay our due respects to him. However, it is clear that
his intentions here aren’t anything noble. He has pilfered one of the
Celestial Sect’s small treasure house and also endangered the lives of
the disciples of the various Factions. We will not let this matter slide,
unless he gives us a good reason to."
Zhang Dan Shan slightly paused and continued, "How about this,
everyone of you may stay at the Celestial Sect for no w. I will find
someone to get that youngster over here tomorrow. If he is willing to
render to his mistakes and apologise, we shall let this matter rest."
Is just apologising enough?
Under normal circumstances, no one present would agree with that.
Anyhow, since it was a suggestion directly from Zhang Dan Shan,

nobody opposed to the idea. All of them nodded. They then proceeded
to bow out of respect and agreed at the same time, "We will let Sect
Leader Zhang handle the entire situation."
After all, they were all merely a small faction. The heated argument just
a moment ago could be rooted to their egoistic natures.
If he were to order them kill Duan Jiu De’s disciple, none of them will
dare to do it even if there were a hundred of them.
The suggestion by Zhang Dan Shan was equivalent to giving those small
Factions a way out. They had no reason to not take it.
However, just as everybody thought that the matter will be solved, an

unapproving voice could be heard.
"Sect Leader, the old lady here doesn’t approve."
An old woman stood up and exclaimed.
The Celestial Sect Elder who wanted to kill Xu Que personally before
was also the master of Tang Xue Rou— Sun Jue Li.
"Elder Sun, any reasons for objecting?" Zhang Dan Shan briefly looked
at her, creased his eyebrows and asked her in an enthusiastic tone.
The old woman coldly replied, "That little scoundrel has so much blood
on his hands. How could we let him off this easily? Also, he may not be
Duan Jiu De’s disciple after all, since he has yet to prove his identity.
Previously, I saw him once and he impersonated the Prince Consort of
Fire Country. He could be a liar. Even if we really killed him, if Duan Jiu
De finds us, we could definitely reason out with him."
As her voice subsided, everybody’s face started to show weird

expressions.
They didn’t have doubts on Xu Que’s identity. Instead, they were utterly
convinced that he was Duan Jiu De’s disciple.
Impersonation. Wasn’t this something Duan Jiu De loved to do? For his
disciple to have this same hobby was very fitting.
Zhang Dan Shan weaved his hands and said, "Whether he is Senior
Duan’s disciple or not, we will know when he comes tomorrow to the
Sect. When tomorrow comes, order someone to go to Pan Shan village
and invite him over. That is all."
After finishing, his figure gradually faded and like water drops landing on
paper, his figure slowly blurred and ultimately disappeared from the
discussion room.
This remarkable ability had been witnessed by everyone too many times
before and they weren’t surprised.
They understood what Zhang Dan Shan meant by his last sentence.
How that youngster will be dealt with tomorrow depended on whether he

is actually Duan Jiu De’s disciple or not.
If he is, he definitely can’t be killed.
If not, there would be no need for words. He will absolutely die by the
hands of the Celestial Sect.
25 Spreading Of Notoriety
Chapter 25: Spreading Of Notoriety

That night, Xu Que strolled around town.
On his way, he walked past cultivators from time to time. They were all
attracted by the black robes he donned but at the same time, were
afraid to provoke him due to the immense aura he emitted. One by one,
they chose to take detours instead.
Throughout his trip, he bought a number of goods and gained

considerable amounts of act tough points.
Due to the late night, many shops were already closed. Xu Que had no
choice but to find an inn to stay for the night.
The next day morning, the market became crowded again and the shops
reopened. Xu Que decided to walk around again.
Many cultivators were staring at him in awe, along with some degree of
respect for him. He continued strutting along with the black robes
flapping with every step, showing a very confident front.
At the same time, system beeps were continuously heard sounding out.
His act tough points were rising quickly!
When he finally bought all the supplies, Xu Que found o ut that his act
tough points had risen by quite a bit, increasing from 25 points to 130
act tough points. This trip was fruitful indeed.
With a contented heart, he left the small town.
On his way out of the small town, he quickly deposited the items he
purchased into the system deposit space without anyone looking. He
also changed out of the black robes, back into the coarse hemp clothes.
Chewing on a piece of foxtail millet grass, he confidently walked towards
the direction of Pan Shan Village.
He felt like he had nothing to worry about. If he showed his true

appearance and walked along the streets, even if people recognized
him, he was prepared to kill a large number of pursuers to earn a whole
bunch of act tough points.
However, Xu Que’s luck wasn’t so good. He had seen a little to no

cultivators.
The weird thing was that when everyone saw him, they turned pale and
ran away.
The reason was that during the night, Xu Que’s notoriety had already
spread past the small town’s borders.
Many cultivators had already heard of him killing Golden Core Stagers
and had a formidable master backing him up. Who would dare to
provoke him?
This situation made Xu Que panic. If nobody dared to stand up to him,

how will he gain experience and level up his cultivation?
"Hey, hey. Who’s that? Come here. Yes, you, come over here… Damn it,
why are you running away? I am not going to eat you."
He finally chanced upon several cultivators and Xu Que quickly called

out to them. The bunch quickly figured out his identity and swiftly fled as
if seeing a ghost.
Xu Que made a face of regret. He shouldn’t think of killing others for the
sake of leveling up. Furthermore, they hadn’t provoked him.
"Sigh, you people have no perseverance or willpower whatsoever. How

can you guys give up on killing me due to such a small obstacle?!" Xu
Que shouted at those people’s backs.
The bunch of cultivators who were running heard his voice and one of
them stumbled and almost tripped and fell.
You single-handedly fought countless Golden Core Stage Elders and

you are some famous man’s disciple. Who the hell would dare to touch
you?
You call your skills a small obstacle? This obstacle is scarier than the
heavens, don't you think?
"Forget it. I still have other chances in the future to fight an d gain
levels."
The few people were all gone out of sight. Xu Que pursed his lips and
gave up the thinking of gaining experience on the way back.
Lightning streaked past under his feet as he executed the Lightning
Haste spell. He then advanced towards Pan Shan village.
After flying past two mountains and a lake, Pan Shan village was
already almost within reach.
At this time, he suddenly saw two rays of light fly past him.
Xu Que turned and looked. He became increasingly overjoyed by the

minute.
They were disciples of the Celestial Sect and they’re wearing long
robes. Amongst them, there was a young man who seemed familiar. He
then recalled seeing him when he was at the Celestial Sect stealing
items from their treasure store. That young man was Zhang Su Liang.
Don’t tell me they are sending me free experience points? Why are they
sending just two men?
While puzzling over the situation, those two people saw Xu Que and
steered their flying swords towards the ground.
"My friend. Our Sect Leader invites you to come to Celestial Sect!"
Zhang Su Liang felt awkward and weird seeing Xu Que again but
explained his reason for coming regardless.
Xu Que was stunned the moment he heard the two words, "Sect
Leader".
Celestial Sect Leader? Damn. It’s that old monster who is at Infant
Transformation Stage. He has invited me over to see him. With my
current Cultivation Stage, what if I go and he pins me down and beats
me up? Only a dummy would agree to go.
"I’m not going." Xu Que replied with a cold and straight f ace.
Zhang Su Liang and the other disciple was stunned for a moment,
panicked and asked, "My friend, we don’t mean harm. The Sect Leader
has invited you over to the Celestial Sect to discuss and clear the
misunderstanding between you and the various facti ons."
Clear the misunderstanding?
Xu Que became surprised yet again and thought about the rumour he
heard about him at the small town. He immediately came into
realization.
It most probably because the Celestial Sect Leader thought that he was
the disciple of Duan Jiu De and therefore chose to give way instead of
punishing him.
This is a good chance to act tough!
Xu Que touched his chin in contemplation, and muttered pretentiously,

"Oh, so he wants to discuss that matter with me. Alright. Go back and
tell your Sect Leader to come to me and discuss the matter instead."
"What?" Zhang Su Liang and the other disciple widened their eyes.
Ask the Sect Leader to come to you? Are you dreaming? And what an
arrogant tone you have there?
Xu Que replied with a straight face, "What is it? Don't you people know
who am I? If you two don’t know, go back and ask your Sect Leader."

The system beep sounded and Xu Que laughed out loud in his mind.
"This…"
Zhang Su Liang and the other Celestial Sect disciple puckered their
eyebrows and looked at one another with their faces revealing some
embarrassment.
Clearly, they had already heard the rumour of Xu Que being D uan Jiu
De’s disciple and in the face of Xu Que’s arrogance, the both of them
were further convinced of the truth of the apparent rumour.
"Friend, we know that you have a respectable name but our Sect Leader
and the various Faction Elders are currently waiting for you. We would
like to trouble you to just follow us back…"
"Right. On the account of your good attitude, I shall follow you people."
Xu Que waved his hands, interrupting the two disciples, agreeing to go
to Celestial Sect.
He originally wanted to reject at all costs but had changed his mind at
the last minute.
The reason was for Pan Shan village’s safety. He thought about the fact
that although nobody was a match for the Four Directions Desolation so
far, it was only effective against cultivators below the Infant
Transformation Stage.
If the Celestial Sect Leader comes down personally, the protective

screen would be absolutely useless to him. Also, if he destroys the
spell, consequences would be dire.
Therefore, Xu Que decided not to make the Celestial Sect Leader come
over. He’d rather go over the Sect and act tough and gain more act
tough points!
Moreover, he had in his system inventory the Divine Escape Emblem.

He could escape after acting tough and immediately exchange for even
higher ranked spells. This would make Pan Shan village be free of
dangers.
Xu Que had planned out everything perfectly. He then calmly activated

the Lightning Haste spell. He immediately headed towards the Celestial
Sect in a frenzied speed.
"What a fast skill he has!"
"He can actually ride on lightning. His background is definitely not

normal."
Zhang Su Liang and the other Celestial Sect disciple landed and
marvelled at Xu Que’s skills and were both awestruck.
At the same time, Xu Que who was miles away again received the
successful acting tough system beep!
26 Are You Worthy Of My Apology?
Chapter 26: Are You Worthy Of My Apology?

This was Xu Que’s second visit to the Celestial Sect.
The Sect’s giant monastery gate was completed by the white jaded
stone steps leading to it, glistening with brightness. There was a stone
tablet decorated with a flamboyant, cursive calligraphy. It wrote the 3
characters of "Celestial Sect" on it, emitting an imposing atmosphere.
Gazing along the monastery gate in the distance amongst the clouds,
one could vaguely see a wide training ground. One could also see rows
of red-colored roof tiles along with vibrant colored light flowing through
the skies— the Celestial Sect disciples riding on their flying swords.
What a scenery!
Xu Que was dazzled. The first time he came was an accident with the
Divine Escape Emblem sending him to the treasure store outside the
Sect. He then pilfered the store empty and quickly fle but did not have a
good look at the majestic scenery the Celestial Sect possess.
This time, he went up to the gate and entered from the front. He was
shocked at the imposing aura the monastery gate gave out.
"Whoosh!"
This time, two dazzling light flew from behind. Zhang Su Liang and the
other disciple chased and landed beside Xu Que.
"Friend, this way!"
The both of them were very polite to Xu Que, showing the way to him.
Xu Que nodded and followed.
Of course, clutched in his hands was a piece of the Divine Escape

Emblem. If the situation gets out of hand, he could escape instantly.
However, the path he was taking seemed steady. He proceeded past a

paradise-like arch bridge. Xu Que was ultimately brought to the main
center of a main hall.
This was Celestial Sect’s discussion hall. There were countless

members from the smaller Factions along with the Elders seated on both
sides of the hall. In the center seat was a middle-aged man with a
refined look. It was Celestial Sect’s Leader — Zhang Dan Shan!
The moment Xu Que appeared, everyone’s focus were fixated on him

and at the same time, looking at him from top to toe.
Xu Que wasn’t excited at that fact and he turned his head, staring at one
of the Elder and asked, "What the hell are you staring at?"

The reward is 20 act tough points." The system beep sounded in his
head.
The reply "Why can’t I stare" which he anticipated did not happen. The
Elder acted as if he did not hear anything, lifted his cup and drank his
tea.
Several coughs by others could be heard, seemingly to hold back from

flaring up. It was as if they felt that the attitude by Xu Que was fitting of
the rumor that he was Duan Jiu De’s disciple.
Zhang Dan Shan, who was on the center seat, puckered his eyebrows
and asked, "As the leader, let me ask you, who was the senior of your
master, Duan Jiu De?"
"None of your damned business!" Xu Que replied angrily, with the

system beep sounding in his head again.
"..."
The discussion hall momentarily turned silent.
Everybody was stunned. Is this youngster being too daring? His temper
is so bad as well. He definitely has an exceptional background.
Zhang Dan Shan also blanked out.
From what it seems, even if this youngster was Duan Jiu De’s disciple,
he did not have a reason to behave in such a manner. On top of that, he
was an Infant Transformation stage and a Sect Leader.
Xu Que felt the weird atmosphere and realized that he may have gone
overboard. He then asked, "The reason I was invited here was to
discuss, isn’t it? Go on and don't ask unnecessary questions. My master
doesn’t like to be talked about."
After his words, everyone on the scene started to understand.
His master does not like it?
Isn’t this equivalent to him saying that Duan Jiu De is his master?
Thank god, we almost offended them. We still can make it up.
Many people heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Zhang Dan Shan puckered his eyebrows again, staring at Xu Que. He

thought for a moment and said, "That’s right. The reason we invited you
is to clear the misunderstanding between you and the various Factions."
"Eh, say it. What do you want to clear?" Xu Que nodded and repl ied
neutrally.
Zhang Dan Shan looked at the others for a bit and mumbled, "Firstly, it’s
when you stole items from our treasure store…"
"Wait, wait!" Interrupting Zhang Dan Shan, Xu Que widened his eyes
and replied, "When did I steal from your treasure s tore? Are you kidding
me? I will never do that."
"..." Zhang Dan Shan was absolutely stunned. He blanked out for a
moment, face changed and deeply said, "We have a witness. Zhang Su
Liang, come out and tell us."
Zhang Su Liang, who was standing at the door, immediately rushed over
after hearing the Sect Leader.
Before he could open his mouth, Xu Que let out a harmless smile, then
laughed and replied, "Haha! Who knew brother Zhang was there too! I
was just cracking a joke if you people don’t mind. I, Xu Q ue, will always
stand up for my actions. You are right. I stole from the treasure store."
"..."
Everyone on the scene were speechless.
Zhang Dan Shan let out a gasp and was too lazy to put up an argument
with him. He continued, "After stealing from our treasure store, you
killed the disciples and Elders from the various Factions."
"Hold on!" Xu Que interrupted again and replied loudly, "I definitely did
not kill them."
Damn. They had never met such a shameless guy before.
The people almost spat out blood. The old ones who had a bad temper
almost flared up at the scene and wanted to slap Xu Que to death.
Zhang Dan Shan changed his expression and replied, "If you continue
with this attitude of yours, we shouldn’t discuss further."
"If you don't want to discuss further, so be it. My master will personally
discuss it with you all. Bye." Xu Que pushed up his sleeves and walked
off.
Everyone on the scene panicked. They were already having troubles

with the disciple. If the master comes, won’t it be the end of the world?
An Elder from the side reacted quickly. He stood up and held onto his
hand. He let out an awkward smile and said, "Small Brother, don't be
rash. Sect Leader Zhang didn’t mean it that way."
"If it doesn’t mean that, then what does it mean? I’ve already asked you
all on solving the problem. You people didn’t want to give me a proper
answer and talked some nonsense about things which had already
happened. As people from the ancient times have said, let bygones be
bygones, does bringing it back up have any meaning?"
Xu Que’s brief remark started to make them unhappy.
Everybody was speechless. They were thinking who exactly said those
nonsense? That fool just wanted to run away from the consequences.
Zhang Dan Shan’s face became more unsatisfied by the minute but he
held on to his temper and replied, "Since you like to go straight to the
point, we shall say what we wanted to say then."
"Before your arrival, I’ve already discussed with the various Factions.
We have decided that you have to apol ogize to everybody and then we
will let the matter rest."
"Of course, you can choose to not do it. After all, you are Senior Duan’s
disciple and we will not lay our hands on you. However, for the lives of
the Pan Shan Villagers, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to
protect them."
Xu Que heard the remark and let out a cold laugh, "Are you threatening
me?"
"This is not threatening. I am just informing you about the two

consequences." Zhang Dan Shan nodded and murmured, "As the
Celestial Sect Leader till this day, I have many skills and weapons at my
disposal. Among them, I have a Spell-breaking cartridge which can
break any Beginner Spells. Therefore, the spell you have casted is
definitely not invincible."
Spell-breaking cartridge? Able to break any Beginner Spells?
Hehe… after this round of acting tough, I shall go back and change to
an Intermediate Spell. I shall see how you fools break it.
Xu Que laughed coldly in his heart and nodded, "I will never apologize.
When I first joined my master’s school, my master told me that no matter
what I do, I must never apologize over my dead body. If not, he would
kick me out of the school. At that time, I gave him a big tight slap on his
head. He chased and beat me for three days and three nights and I
never gave in and apologize. And now…"
Having said that, he stuttered a bit, gave a brief look at the people, and
continued, "And you want me to apologize? Are you even worthy of my
apology?"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully forcefull y acting

tough. The reward is 20 act tough points!"
27 There are Going to be Many More Opportunities
to Act Tough. I’m In!
Chapter 27: There are Going to be Many More Opportunities to Act

Tough. I’m In!
"Atrocious!"
A few of the bad-tempered elders finally could not take it anymore so

they stood up and began angrily shouting.
Xu Que briefly looked at the few of them, nodded and said, "If you all
show me such attitude, I will not discuss with you all further as well. You
all can talk to my master."
The few elders stuttered and heavily panted for a bit. As if being
choked, they could not continue to say anything!
The discussion hall’s atmosphere became still once again.
None of them wanted to offend Xu Que but none of them were willing to
put down their ego and settle this peacefully.
In actuality, Xu Que did not want to stir up any trouble as well. He was
very clear on exactly how to settle this type of issue.
With this extremely tough "Master" as a backing, he definitely cannot

appear to be too easy going. On top of that, the rumours say that Duan
Jiu De had an eccentric nature and therefore he had to be a little more
arrogant.
If he apologized to them easily, it will have an opposite effect of making

them suspicious. If, in the worst case scenario, his true identity was
revealed, the various Factions will definitely come back with a greater
vengeance.
He was not afraid of anything as he had the system at his hands.

However, the Pan Shan villagers would be in great danger!
Therefore, he had to put on this act ‘till the end!
Xu Que clenched his fists as he thought to himself, "There are going to

be many more opportunities to act tough. I’m in!"
...
"Since you won’t apologize, what do you think will solve this issue?" The
Sect Leader Zhang asked amongst the quiet atmosphere.
The weird part was that, the Leader’s tone was not as cold as
previously. Instead, he sounded a little more accommodating.
Xu Que let out a smile in his heart. He was successful with the act he
was putting up and reckoned that even this Celestial Sect Leader was
starting to believe his identity.
But, didn’t the Sect Leader himself meet Duan Jiu De a few times
before?
That’s good. I can still play this card for a little while more!
Xu Que realized that and he pretentiously mumbled to himself,

contemplated for a moment before replying, "How about this. Since the
misunderstandings stemmed from my side and everyone here is
considered my senior, why not let me use this place and treat everybody
to a feast. This way, we can all become friends. What does Sect Leader
Zhang think about this?"
After that, Xu Que sincerely looked at Zhang Dan Shan and gave him a
brief smile.
It was as if he was hinting Zhang Dan Shan that he was here to become
friends and he shouldn’t resist this goodwill!
Zhang Dan Shan slightly squinted his eyes and nodded, "I, the Celestial
Sect Leader, do not have any objections. I shall lend you our training
grounds outside and let you arrange for the feast tonight."
Upon this situation, the members of other Factions seconded, "Brother

Xu, you are too kind. We, the Fierce Flame Faction do not have any
objections. Let’s drink ‘till we drop."
"We, Pale Mountain Faction have no objections as well."
"We Sunset Faction… have no objections!"
At last, the Sunset Faction members agreed as well as they swallowed

their anger.
They had no choice. Even the big Celestial Sect has let the matter go.
What rights do a small faction have?
On top of that, the situation started with them being greedy, bearing a
malicious intent to kill Xu Que for his treasures. In the end, the tables
turned and many disciples and Elders from their side were killed. The
only thing they could do now was to act like they were mutes.
As a result, a previous situation filled with possible vengeance and

killing was solved with a simple round of feast.
However, the main reason was the name ‘Duan Jiu De’. It had a very big
effect.
When the night descended, the Celestial Sect carried out the feast as
planned.
Xu Que became popular with the Sect and the factions due to bringing
all them together. Wherever he walked, he was being toasted in respect.
He was crowned with the name "Duan Jiu De’s disciple" out of the blue.
He naturally would not let this perfect chance to act tough to slip by with
the chance to drink wine. He could brag about himself all he want
without reservations.
"Years ago, I remembered master bringing me down the mountains to

train. He brought me to a Sect and everybody there were very tactful.
They immediately presented us with a pile of treasures saying that this
was just a door gift, leaving us with a very deep impression. After th at,
when that Sect were being attacked by enemies and I, being a righteous
and loyal friend, without any qualms, dragged my master to help out. We
destroyed those enemies of the Sect completely in the end."
Everyone were shocked upon hearing that and they realized something.
Is… Is he hinting us to send him gifts?
One of the Elders from Fierce Flame Faction reacted quickly while
holding up his wine cup and replied, "With Brother’s and Senior Duan’s
godly hero tactics, everywhere they go, everybody will k now them. The
old man shall toast you and we shall offer you a few magical weapons
from our Faction. Just treat this as an old man’s door gift, hope Brother
Xu don’t mind."
"Brother Xu, I, too, shall represent Pale Mountain Faction and toast you.
We have a few roots of 800 year old Medicinal Qi Grass here for you to
keep."
"Tch, just a mere few roots of Medicinal Qi Grass? Brother Xu, we Fire
Cloud Faction offers you a bottle of Jiu Zhuan blood-soaked powder.
These medicine pills temper with your blood ci rculation and is an
important godly medicine for one to become a sage." One of the elders
stood up and boldly said.
Everyone was shocked as they inhaled a breath of cold air.

This Fire Cloud Faction is way too aggressive. They were willing to offer
so much just to impress Duan Jiu De. They were presenting a bottle of
the Jiu Zhuan blood-soaked powder and it is said that they have only 3
of them in their whole Faction.
"What, how can I take it?" Xu Que let out a ‘shy’ smile,and rejected
sarcastically.
"Brother Xu, don't be a stranger! If you treat this old man as a friend,
you must keep it."
While the Fire Cloud Elder was talking, he immediately took and stuffed
the medicine bottle into Xu Que’s hands, looking at him with the "You
must take it, if not you are not stroking my ego" look.
Xu Que had ‘’no choice’ but to take the medicine.
Of course, he had to take the gifts from the rest of the Factions. His
system deposit space was stuffed full after one meal and he collected
many act tough points too.
At the same time within Celestial Sect’s inner area, in an attic.
A disciple was kneeling on the ground and was speaking with a white-
haired old woman.
The old woman widened her eyes after hearing the disciple and
screamed out with a unbelieving tone, "What did you say?! Not only the
Sect Leader didn’t let that scoundrel apologize, he borrowed the training
ground to him to arrange a feast?!"
That old woman was Tang Xue Rou’s master, Elder Sun. It seemed that
she was too angry at the fact since her voice sounded shaky. She also
threw the tea cup on her hand, landing with a loud "Pa" sound.
"M-Master Sun Elder, that was the case!" The disciple was scared stiff
and started to tremble while kneeling down.
The old woman’s face became gloomy by the second an d her eyes were
filled with flames of anger.
"This guy is treacherous and vicious. He also sexually harassed my

disciple in the past. I will never forgive him."
The old woman’s focus changed to the kneeling disciple. With a cold
voice, she said, "Take my token. Go to the inner Sect’s treasure
chamber and get me the Spell-breaking cartridge. Remember, this is
between the two of us. I don't want a third person to know, including the
Sect Leader. Understand?"
"Ye-Yes… I understand."
The disciple took the old woman’s token and quickly ran towards the
direction of the treasure chamber.
The old woman looked at her disciple’s shadow as he ran and her eyes
started to gradually focus into the distance, face letting out a sinister
grin, "Since I can’t do anything to you little scoundrel, I shall let those
ants in Pan Shan village atone for your sins."
28 Feeling Ill at Ease
Chapter 28: Feeling Ill at Ease

A few hours later, as the night darkened, the feast that Xu Que planned
had also come to an end.
Many members and Elders from the various Factions were merrily
drinking. While leaving, some of them wanted to drink more with Xu
Que.
Xu Que naturally rejected politely.
After spending the whole day at the Celestial Sect acting tough and
adding on the time spent at the feast, he had gained a total of 200 over
act tough points. That should be enough to exchange for a cheap
Intermediate Spell.
Opening the system interface, his character stats appeared in front of

him:
"Host: Xu Que
Status : Prince Consort of Fire Country
"Right. I almost forgot to upgrade my spells.
Cultivation Stage: Core Bearing Stage Level 5 (Clear Understanding)
Skill Path: Intermediate Level
Abilities: Soaring Dragons Nine Transformation (Maximum); Lightning

Haste (Maximum); Troop-Secret Character (0% progress); Flame-
Devouring Wave (0% progress); Six Corporeal Forms (0% progress).
Essence: Skill Path Essence (330 Points)
Occupation: None
Ever since Xu Que exchanged for the new skill books, he had never
activated them before and therefore their progress stayed at 0%. He
finally realized it after checking his skills.
However, his Skill Path Essence were left with 300 over. How should he
assign the points?
Previously, for the Soaring Dragons Nine Transformation and the
Lightning Haste skills, they belonged to the Earth-rank skill class and
both of them required just 100 Skill Path Essence points to reach the
maximum.
However, now that he had acquired the Troop -Secret Character, which
belonged to the Sky-rank skill class, in order to raise it to maximum, it
will definitely need more than just 100 Skill Path Essence.
"Forget it. I’ll try using 100 Skill Path Essence points on it first!"
Xu Que thought for a bit, activated the system and used 100 Skill Path
Essence on the Troop-Secret Character.
"Ding! Consumed 100 Skill Path Essence points, ‘Troop-Secret

Character’ rank up successful. Current progress 10%."
Damn it!
Xu Que almost jumped up.
I just used a whole 100 Skill Path Essence points, which could have
already maxed out Earth-Rank skills but it’s only worth 10% of progress
for Sky-Rank skills? This is absurd.
No way! I can’t just waste them like this.
"System, put the other 200 Skill Path Essence points on the Flame -
Devouring Wave and the Six Corporeal Forms."
Xu Que felt that currently, what he needed most were these types of
skills which allowed him to maneuver on weapons. If not, cultivators who
are able to use flying swords would have an edge over him in combat.
Also, he was far from reaching the stage of having invulnerable skin.
"Ding! Consumed 100 Skill Path Essence points. ‘Flame - Devouring

Wave’ rank up successful. Current progress 100%, trained to the
maximum!"
"Ding! Consumed 100 Skill Path Essence points. ‘Six Corporeal Forms’
rank up successful. Current progress 100%, tra ined to the maximum!"
Following were two system beeps. Xu Que felt a sensation of warmth

flowing around internally followed by the warmth converging into the
pubic region where the Qi resides. He immediately felt his whole body
filled with strength.
"Such a nice sensation. It’s time to return to the village."
Xu Que felt elated. Just as he was about to leave, he sighted a

silhouette not too far in front of him.
The figure stood silently in the pitch black darkness and stared towards
his direction.
"Sect Leader Zhang, why haven’t you gone to sleep?"
Xu Que let out a laughter but felt some uncertainty in his heart. He was
thinking that Sect Leader Zhang was here to talk about Duan Jiu De.
Zhang Dan Shan stood in the distance and nodded towards Xu Que’s
direction.
Before one could blink, seemingly without any pre-action, he appeared

right in front of Xu Que and almost scared him.
"Several hundred years ago, your master and I have met each other a
few times. Is he still doing alright?" Zhang Dan Shan’ s tone was filled
with warmth as if treating Xu Que as Zhang Jiu De’s disciple already.
Xu Que laughed, "He is doing very well, he has been drinking and eating
happily in the East Continent these past few years."
"Oh, the old man is currently still in th e Fire Nation?" Zhang Dan Shan’s
eye brightened up.
"Not sure. That old man’s whereabouts are random. Even I’m not sure
where he is. However, he gave me a secret Emblem and every time I am
met with danger, he will appear immediately. You want to try it, S ect
Leader Zhang?" Xu Que told him while smiling from cheek to cheek.
The secret Emblem and whatnot, were of course things he had read in
Internet novels in his previous life and he has no idea what he was
talking about.
Apparently, Zhang Dan Shan believed him. He blanked out and became
a little gloomy for a little and then nodded briefly, "Forget it. We will
meet if we have fate."
He then looked at Xu Que and warmly said, "From today onwards, if you
want to stay at Celestial Sect, just tell me. Regardin g Pan Shan village, I
will definitely not do anything to them."
"Alright, I’ll give you my thanks, Sect Leader Zhang! But for now, I have
to go back to tidy up some things." Xu Que waved his hands in laughter.
Zhang Dan Shan nodded, "Hm. Go on."
Xu Que did not say anything and activated the Lightning Haste. With
lightning interweaving beneath his feet, he flew downwards from the
mountains and left.
Zhang Dan Shan’s tone and attitude being like this was a good thing but
the danger still persisted.
If his true identity is made known, what would come after will be very
bad.
However, being the bold and able man he was, he still accepted Zhang
Dan Shan’s offer for him to stay at the Celestial Sect.
The treasure chamber he had previously stolen from the Cel estial Sect
was located at the outer Sect. If there is an outer Sect, there is definitely
an inner Sect and the inner Sect will definitely contain many skill books
for acting tough. When that time comes, he will be able to steal them
and recycle the skills to get a big amount of Essences.
Yet, before doing that, Xu Que knew that he had to go back to Pan Shan
village.
Although Zhang Dan Shan just promised that he would not touch Pan
Shan village, he still had to quickly exchange for an Intermediate spell
to protect the village in fear of things becoming sour if his plot falls
apart, implicating the villagers.
On his way back to Pan Shan village, his stomach suddenly felt a little
stuffy and had a bad feeling out of the blue.
This seems like a bad omen and a feeling that something bad was going
to unfold.
He puckered his eyebrows and his first deduction was that he was
poisoned. It must be Zhang Dan Shan, that old fox must have poisoned
his wine and food during the feast.
"System, quickly check within my body if I have been poisoned."
"Ding! Host ‘Xu Que’ body condition is well. Qi and blood flow is good.
No signs of poisoning."
Huh, not poisoned?
Xu Que was stumped. How was he feeling this way if he wasn’t

poisoned?
"Whatever. I’ll quickly return to Pan Shan village. Yesterday, Xiao Rou
told me to buy fabric cloth back and wanted to make me new clothes.
Haha! I think the young girl is worried out of her wits."
Xu Que nodded, shook away any uncertainties he had and hurried back
quickly to Pan Shan village.
At this moment, a shadow sweeped past the skies of Celestial Sect and
sped into an attic. When she landed, she looked unsteady and
immediately fell onto the floor, spitting out fresh blood.
"Elder Sun." A few Celestial Sect disciples on guard saw the situation
and went to help.
The Elders face became gloomy and looked scary. She bit her teeth and
said, "Damn it! Who knew that little scoundrel's spell was so strong. The
spell damaged the Spell-breaking cartridge, causing even me, the Elder,
to suffer such heavy losses."
Speaking up to this point, she faced those few Celestial Sect disciples,
coldly laughed and asked, "Which part of the Sect is that little scoundrel
at now?"
"Elder Sun, he just left the mountains."
"He’s going back already? Hehe… That’s good. Let him go back and see
what big gift I’ve left him and see if he likes it." The Elder let out another
cold laughter and under the help of the few Celestial Sect disciples,
stood up, and left for the inner part of the attic.
29 I’ll Bring You to Kill Them
Chapter 29: I’ll Bring You to Kill Them

At this point, Pan Shan Village was ablazed with flames, soaring high
into the heavens. Many villagers had been killed in the massacre and
even more were charred to death in the large fires.
The screams of terror and agony combined together as wailings an d

shrieks could be heard from miles away. Regardless of how the villagers
begged for their lives, these ten cultivators didn’t show any mercy. With
their swords raised up high, they casted spells as they laughed and
slaughtered the helpless villagers.
At this point, several shadows flew overhead as their long robes flapped
in the wind. One of them had a familiar face. It was the girl immortal who
had been harassed by Xu Que, Tang Xue Ru.
She led several Celestial Sect disciples as they travelled.

Coincidentally, they witnessed this scene down below and charged
down.
"Stop it! Who are you? How dare you kill the innocent people?"
"Keke… We, Fallen Spirit Sect are handling our businesses. Those who
are not involved, scram now."
"Atrocious. This is the area of Celestial Sect. You Fallen Spirits Clan
members are overextending your reach. How audacious!"
"So what if you’re Fallen Spirit Sect? If you don’t leave now, don’t blame
my blades for not having eyes to discern who to attack."
"Hm, then come and try me."
Tang Xue Rou and the people behind her gave a sinister look as they
charged down upon the cultivators of Fallen Spirits Clan.
...
"Whoosh!"
At this point, the sky was dark and wind was blowing fiercely at Xu
Que’s face causing a continuous whooshing sound.
The closer he got to Pan Shan Village, the more unsettled he felt!
What’s going on?
Xu Que creased his eyebrows. He was already travelling at the fastest

speed possible.
At last, after crossing this huge mountain, he would reach Pan Shan
Village in no time.
Indeed at the next moment, the intense scene of killing and desolation,
blazing fires and a village drenched in blood was spotted by him. He
couldn’t believe his eyes. Was that his amicable, kind and innocent Pan
Shan Village in ruins?
His eyes almost bulged out its sockets as the fires in his heart was
immense and insurmountable. He couldn’t help but let out a huge shout!
"No!!!"
He seemed to have gone insane as he charged down the mountains

while screaming.
When he looked down at the entrance of the village, he could see a

small petite girl being chased out by a cultivator. That shadow of the
splendour body belonged to Xiao Rou.
The next instant, she fell over with a thud amidst all the panic. Her face
was deathly pale as she bit down hard on her lower lip.
Even before she could pick herself up, a white bright light appeared
behind her and plunged into her body from behind through her back.
Shiu!
A flying sword emerged from the front of her body as Xiao Rou’s body
fell to the ground, blood splattering in all directions.
Right at this point, it was almost like time came to a complete standstill.
Xu Que was not far from this scene. His mind went blank as he opened
his eyes in shock, his mouth was gaping wide. He found it extremely
difficult to believe what he had seen.
"Stop it!" Tang Xue Ru and the rest of her immortal cultivators reached
the village and started killing the perpetrators of this bloody bloodbath.
Seeing the scene before them, they rushed to slaughter the disciples of
Fallen Spirits Sect.
However, it was too late. The disciples of Fallen Spirits Sect had done
significant damage to the village, killing and destroying everything in
their wake. The minute they had achieved that, they fled off on their
flying swords.
At this moment, Xu Que finally reached the village from the mountains.
His crazed eyes were full of red blood vessels. He looked like he was
deep in a trance as he repeatedly shouted, "No! No! No!"
"Oh? It’s this pervert? Tang Xu Ru froze as she saw Xu Que.
Xu Que ignored everything and everyone around as he dashed in a mad

frenzy towards Xiao Rou.
"Xiao Rou! Xiao Rou, please wake up. I’m back. Please don’t be scared.
I shall save you now."
He rushed to Xiao Rou’s side and embraced her in a hug. At the same
time, he summoned the information interface as he desperately looked
for some herbs to heal her wounds.
Xiao Rou opened her eyes with great difficulty. The minute she saw Xu
Que, a smile seemed to radiated across her face.
"Xu… Brother Xu… You’re finally… Back!"

"I’m back. I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry! Damn it. I came back too late…" Xu
Que’s eyes welled up with tears.
In both his lives, he hadn’t cried in a long long time. At this point, tears
flowed freely.
"System, system. Hurry, I wish to buy medic ation with healing property. I
would give up everything to save Xiao Rou." Xu Que shouted out in his
head to the system.
"Ding! Due to the system’s level being too low, the items within this
system can only be used by yourself."
The system replied coldly. This answer felt as though a bucket of cold
water had been splashed across Xu Que’s face.
What? What do you mean level is too low? I wish to save someone. I
need to save someone now!
He felt as if heaven and earth had been reversed, like the sky had
crashed down upon him.
He had never experienced such a feeling of helplessness. Even in his

previous life, when he was killed in the car accident, the helplessness
he felt now was much intense compared to back then.
"No… It’s alright, brother Xu. Maybe, ma ybe…. This is Xiao Rou’s fate.
But to die in your arms, being able to see brother Xu’s face, Xiao Rou
has no regrets."
Xiao Rou smiled as she slowly lifted her hands, seemingly using up all
her energy in the process as she touched Xu Que’s cheeks, "Brothe r…
Xu Que, please don’t cry. Your face is so pale. You look so good…"
"Brother Xu Que, Xiao Rou has been wanting to tell you. I like you. I
mean really, really like you that way…"
"Brother Xu Que, Xiao Rou knows she cannot match up with you. But I
know that if I don’t say it now, I will never have the chance to say it
again."
"Brother Xu Que, I’m sorry. Xiao Rou did say she wanted to make you
some new clothes… But now she can’t…"
"Brother Xu Que, after Xiao Rou has died, will you… Will you still
remember Xiao Rou?"
"Xiao Rou’s best moments in this life… My happiest moments, were all
with brother Xu Que..."
Pa-da!
The second her last word was uttered, Xiao Rou’s hands fell from Xu
Que’s face onto the ground with a smack.
Her large glossy eyes lost its light as Xu Que slowly lifted his hands to
close them. Tear stains were still visible at the corners of her eyes…
"No!"
Seeing Xiao Rou’s innocent and bubbly eyes lose their gleam, Xu Que
clung onto her lifeless body as he reared his head back and screamed
out in agony. He then started rocking back and forth like a demented
person, with her body still in his embrace a he shouted out, "Xiao Rou,
you musn’t sleep. Wake up! I told you I would take you flying on a sword
and bring you to have fun and eat load s of good food. Xiao Rou, I still
wish to wear the clothes you were supposed to make for me!"
Xu Que’s face was stained with tears, his voice was hoarse as he
shouted out.
However, the Xiao Rou within his embrace had fallen asleep forever and
couldn’t ever hear his screams.
In his mind, all these days of Xiao Rou’s sweet laughter, her feminine
demeanor and that innocent and sweet voice replayed continuously.
All his fond memories of her seemed like it happened only yesterday!
Tang Xue Jia and the rest of them watched on, unable to do anything as
well.
Although they were all immortal cultivators, they didn’t have the powers
to bring the dead back to life.
"Wei, pervert. People cannot be revived from the dead. Besides,

growing old and falling ill before dying are part of the parcel of life for
these normal people. She’s just an ordinary village girl, why must you be
so upset? But don’t you worry. These lands here including Pan Shan
Village belongs to Celestial Sect. I shall report this matter to my master
and we will hunt down those Fallen Spirits Sect members to seek
justice." Tang Xue Rou walked behind Xu Que and spoke out.
Xu Que sat there quietly, holding Xiao Rou tightly within his embrace.
His pair of arms were wrapped around her as his body trembled. The
veins on his neck were popping up.
In the next moment….
"Pu!"
Xu Que felt his chest tremble as he spat out a large mouthful of red
blood.
Tang Xue Rou and the rest of her Celestial Sect disciples saw this and
their faces were shocked,
This is… Blood from the heart!
This person’s love must’ve been extremely deep seated, for he even
spat out blood from the heart. This dead lady must’ve been his lover.
Ai, no wonder. Seeing a person you love die in front of you. Who can
bear such a heartache?
Everyone present shook their heads and sighed.
Tang Xue Ru was astounded as well as she stared blankly at Xu Que.

She was wondering if that was the same pervert as before? Why did it
seem like he’s changed so much?
Before long, Xu Que finally moved.
He extended a hand to wipe the traces of blood from the corners of his
mouth as he raised his head coldly. Intense hatred raged within his
eyes.
Tang Xue Ru and the rest of the disciples from Celestial Sect watched
on and were taken aback. They subconsciously retreated several steps
back and their faces turned pale with fright.
That killing intent was extremely overwhelming!
This… This person’s killing intent is so scary!
"You… You don’t do anything on impulse. This is none of our business.

I… We came here to help!" A disciple was scared out of his wits and
assumed that Xu Que wanted to attack them. He then hurriedly
explained.
Xu Que didn’t seem to bother about him as he held on tightly to Xiao

Rou’s body before standing up slowly.
Under the panicked looks from the cultivators, Xu Que whispered into
Xiao Rou’s ears, "Xiao Rou, I’ll bring you to kill them."
30 All Deserves Death

Chapter 30: All Deserves Death

"Phew… He’s really scary!"
Seeing Xu Que depart, the few Celestial Sect disciples finally heaved a
sigh of relief. They could feel sweat staining the back of their robes as
they trembled in fear.
"But based on his demeanor, it seems like he's going to find trouble with
the Fallen Spirits Sect."
"No way. There're so many people there. Even the Sect Leader is an
Original Infant Stage Cultivator. If he goes alone, wouldn't he be
courting death?"
"Ai, the Fallen Spirits Sect members are so vicious and evil!"
"..."
Tang Xue Rou looked at the disappearing shadow of Xu Que and bit her
lips before speaking, "Let's hurry and return to Celestial Sect and report
this matter to the higher ups."
"Yeah!"
The few Celestial Sect disciples nodded their heads and took flight atop
their flying swords and headed back towards Celestial Sect.
At the same time, beneath the dark clouds and cold winds, Xu Que
clutched on tightly to Xiao Rou’s slender and petite body. His face
remained expressionless as they flew.
His thoughts and emotions were invested within the system as he

searched for ways to save Xiao Rou.
"Ding! Planning completed. Since the system’s level is not high enough,
there are no ways to bring the dead back to life currently. The system
suggests that the host purchase a pagoda to store and protect the souls
of the dead." At last, the system gave a reply.
"System’s level isn't high enough? Does that mean once I increase the
level of the system, I would be able to find a way to resurrect the dead?
Xu Que clutched at wild straws, desperate to find a way to revive Xiao
Rou, his eyes came alive after hearing this.
"Correct."
"Good. Tell me, how do I increase the level of the system then?" Xu Que
finally heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as he could revive Xiao Rou, he would sacrifice everything and

pay whatever price required.
"As long as the host’s cultivation level reach es the full foundation of
Golden Core Stage, the system will then be upgraded. Since this is the
host’s first time using this system, the first upgrade shall be free."
Full circle foundation of the Golden Core Stage?
Good! Very good!
That's very good, System!
Xu Que’s face revealed a cold smile.
Just as well that he was going to seek revenge on those Fallen Spirits
Sect members. Once he kills them, he would gain experience points as
well.
"Ding! It's been detected that the spirit of the deceased next to the host
‘Xu Que’ is about to disperse. The system recommends purchasing a
Soul Pagoda."
The system rang out once more in his head.
Xu Que’s face turned grim as he hurriedly replied, "Quick, purchase the

Soul Pagoda!"
"Ding! 100 acting tough points had been spent in exchange for the Soul
Pagoda. Do you wish to use it now? Note that this Soul Pagoda can only
house a single soul."
"Use it. Keep Xiao Rou’s soul within the Pagoda."
"Ding! The wandering soul had successfully been housed within the
pagoda! The system recommends the host to bury the body of the
deceased at the soonest time possible to ensure safety of the body. The
second he obtains the solution to revive the dead, he can then
reconstruct the body." The system reported.
Xu Que squinted his eyes in sadness.
Burying the body to keep it safe! That's necessary.
But before that, I shall let those bunch of dead men, the disciples of
Fallen Spirits Sect become a living sacrifice to Xiao Rou and the other
dead villagers.
Whoosh!
A streak of lightning flashed through the skies as Xu Que advanced

towards the direction which those Fallen Spirits Sect disciples fled in.
Before long, he finally could see the 10 shadows in front of him. Those
were the disciples of Fallen Spirits Sect.
"I shall start with the few of you!"

Xu Que gave a sinister laugh as he casted his Three Thousand Volts
Lightning and his body moved in a blur.
The few disciples from Fallen Spirits Sect could feel some movement
behind them. When they turned their heads back to look, their faces
turned ashen.
"No. That person is chasing after us."
"Hurry and scatter!"
"Don't engage in a fight with him. As long as we reach the sect’s

domains, he wouldn't dare to pursue further."
The 10 of them turned away and began to flee in haste .
Xu Que opened up the inventory in the system and withdrew the Soul
Pagoda, tying it to his neck so it hung down over his chest. He then held
onto Xiao Rou’s lifeless body and whispered, "Xiao Rou, watch closely.
I'm going to send these people to hell to atone for their sins towards our
deceased villagers."
The minute he finished speaking, the arc of lightning beneath his feet
bury forth as his body disappeared to his extremely fast movement
speed. He approached a Fallen Spirits Sect disciple.
Xu Que clenched his fist tightly before hearing a loud roar being emitted
from a dragon. Xu Que then entered the ninth form of the Soaring
Dragon’s Nine Transformation.
"Pu!"
A soft groan could be heard as Xu Que’s fists passed through the Fallen
Spirits Sect’s disciple and emerged from his chest.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing a Core

"Ah!!!"
Several fleeing disciples turned their heads back to see the scene
unfold. They were so afraid, it almost drove them crazy. They urged
their flying swords on as they attempted to flee from this chaotic scene.
However, their speeds could never match up to Xu Que’s.
Before long, another one was caught up by Xu Que and immediately

died to his fists.
At the same time, the system’s rewards kept beeping in Xu Que’s head.
He was unperturbed by the system as he moved with the Lightning

Haste spell activated, claiming the lives of the Fallen Spirits Sect
members.
After some time, he had killed almost all the culprits apart from the 3 of
them.
The remaining 3 managed to reach the boundaries of the Fallen Spirits

Sect’s mountains and felt much safer.
"Sect Leader, save us!" The three disciples started screaming as they
dashed straight into their stronghold.
Xu Que’s expression was calm as he started to make his descend,

landing directly atop the head of one of the disciples.
"Bam!"
That disciple’s skull cracked open and a mixture of blood and brain
seeped out onto the ground.
The other 2 disciples were sent into a state of intense fear and almost
went insane.
They called themselves disciples of Fallen Spirits Sect which belonged

to Devil’s Clan. All these while, they managed to gain a notorious and
evil reputation for themselves.
However, the person who had been chasing them now was even more
evil and vile than the devil. He was the most horrifying demon they’ve
ever seen!
"How dare you kill my disciples just outside of my stronghold? Are you
sick of living?"
In that instant, an awe-inspiring and formidable voice rang out from

within the Fallen Spirits Sect and radiated out in all directions.
The pair of trembling disciples seemed like they finally found a lifeline.
In that instant, they broke down in tears of relief and screamed out,
"Sect Leader, please save us! The rest of the disciples had been killed
by this person!"
The minute these words were spoken, a large group of people swarmed
out within Fallen Spirits Sect. They were the disciples of the sect and
encircled Xu Que, attempting to subdue him.
At the same time, a gale of black wind started to brew from within the
sect. Immediately after, an incredible pressure was exerted all around
on everyone. An old man dressed in black robes was floating above the
clouds. He was the Sect Leader of Fallen Spirits Sect.
His eyes were like slits as he looked down furiously at Xu Que as he

whispered sinisterly, "Young one. You should know when it’s time to
stop and scram. Especially now that you still have your life!"
Xu Que laughed out coldly, "Time to stop? Keke… Sure, I will. Only
when I’ve trampled over every single member of Fallen Spirits Sect
would I stop!"
All the disciples present flew into a fit of rage.
"Idiot. Do you think you alone are capable of trampling over our Fal len
Spirits Sect?"
"You’re a dreaming fool. Scram over."
"Don’t think that just because your master is Duan Jiu De, we’re afraid
of you. We are all from Fallen Spirits Sect and we don’t fear anything."
"What Duan Jiu De? I’ve never even heard of that na me. Other
cultivators might be afraid of him but that doesn’t mean that we are too."
"Haha! You even brought a dead person here? What? Are you trying to
use this dead body to scare us?"
"Yo, this dead corpse still looks pretty good. Every hundred years a
beauty comes by on this earth. It’s such a pity that she’s dead."
"That’s okay. She looks like she hasn’t been dead for long. I honestly
wouldn’t mind trying her. Come to think of it, I haven’t had fun with a
dead corpse yet."
...
All these inappropriate and dirty taunts caused Xu Que to turn pale with
anger.
"If you insult me, that's fine. But since you've insulted her, you have to
die."
Boom!
All of a sudden, a heavy looking, dark black buster sword appeared in

Xu Que’s hands.
The group of disciples were still laughing in a frenzy. In the next

moment, they witnessed a blur. It almost seemed like there were an
infinite number of black buster sword shadows surrounding them.
The smiles were frozen off their faces!

What was happening? Why does my scalp feel numb?
Even before they could react in time, the numerous shadows seemed to
have formed a crushing aura, pressuring them intently.
31 What I’ve said, I Shall Do
Chapter 31: What I’ve said, I Shall Do

Bam! Bam! Bam!
Following the sounds of dull thuds, the bodies of a dozen Fallen Spirits
Sect disciples exploded from inwards out and became globs of blood
mists.
"How dare you! And you still won't stop?!"
The black robed cultivator immediately reacted as he shouted loudly. At

the same time, he waved his hand causing a crushing force to emanate
from his palms and charged towards Xu Que.
"Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformation, ninth form go!
"Roooaar!"
Xu Que activated the Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformations. Its might

could be felt by everyone present as the dragon attempted to block the
crushing wave sent out by the Original Infant Stage old cultivator.
"Today, all of you shall die!"
He gave a low rumble as his voice reverberated around the room like a
tidal wave.
His Lightning Haste spell had been activated causing arcs of electric
pulses to appear. He held Xiao Rou with one arm and the great sword in
the other hand. It made a peculiar sight as he charged into the group of
disciples.
Countless disciples raised their sword up in defense but were unable to

effectively protect themselves. They were crushed by the devastating
blow from the buster sword as blood and flesh flew all around and many
disciples died on the spot, turning into an entire mound of experience
points for Xu Que.
At that instant, all the Broken Spirits Sect disciples were all in fear.
They were so afraid that their will and courage broke. They finally
understood how scary Xu Que’s might was!
The black robed cultivator in the air seemed to be somewhat taken

aback as well. His pupils dilated in anxiousness. He couldn't help but to
look at this mere Core Bearing Stage young man in a different light
altogether.
"Indeed, a true disciple of Duan Jiu De. Since death is your wish, don't
blame me for not showing mercy!"
The black robed cultivator straightened his back as he placed his palm s
together and chanted out several chains of mnemonics. His core energy
was accumulating and coagulating right behind him as it took the form of
a large black fire!
"Black Flamed Dragon, release!"
The old man muttered feebly but his spell was extremely v icious and
powerful.
This was the black robed cultivator’s signature move and its strength
was alarming beyond measure.
After seeing what their leader had done, their expressions were renewed
with hope as they screamed out, "Long live Sect Leader! Only y ou have
my unwavering respect!"
"Once the Black Flamed Dragon charges, the kid’s soul will be severed
from his body."
"We’re saved!"
"You're doomed kid. Don't think that just because you've got some
mysterious spells up your sleeves, you're undefeatable and dare to
show up here at our Sect to cause troubles. You shall regret your
actions now."
Boom!
Black flames erupted high up into the sky as it obscured the clouds from
view. Instantaneously, it felt like the entire sky has turned dark.
The black flames swirled in a violent and rapid manner until a dragon
was birthed from the flames. Sinister killing intent arose from it and
wafted towards Xu Que.
Xu Que squinted his eyes as his lips snarled into a curl. He then gave a
cold harrumph, "Black Flamed Dragon, huh? Let me show you what true
strength is!"
As soon as his last words fell, he gathered all the core energy from
within. The hand which held onto the buster sword was bursting with
veins. He then shouted loudly.
Boom!
A crack formed on the surface of the ground as Xu Que’s arm was

raised high up, still clutching onto the buster sword. It was as if he
single handedly lifted a weapon that seemed to weigh thousands of
pounds. All of a sudden, he broke into a charge towards the black
flaming dragon.
The dragon gave a loud roar as it dashed towards Xu Que too. However,
even before it could land an attack on Xu Que, a large slash mark
appeared right on its head.
The once ferocious and formidable black flamed dragon was split into
half in the blink of an eye, as one half of its body recoiled from the
impact and was flung towards the disciples.
The entire bunch of disciples had a look of dread etched across their
faces!
The Sect Leader’s Black Flamed Dragon was… Was actually hacked
into half?
"No! All of you, move out of the way!"
The black robed cultivator sensed danger and hurriedly motioned for his
disciple to get out of the way.
However, those disciple simply didn't have enough time to react. Even if
there was a place to hide, they couldn't have moved fast enough. All
they could do was watch on as they were engulfed in black flames.
"Ah!!!"
In the next instant, they screamed in so much agony that their shrieks
and wails were hair raising.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successful ly acting tough.

The reward is 10 acting tough points!"
cultivator. The reward is 10,000 experience points."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for increasing in level. Your

current stage is Core Bearing, level 6!"
...
A series of notices and beeps echoed within Xu Que’s mind. He had

gained another level with all the experience points.
"Xiao Rou, did you see that? I'm already at level 6 of the Core Bearing
Stage. Wait a little longer. Once I reach the full foundation of the Golden
Core Stage, I can finally revive you."
Xu Que looked at Xiao Rou who was in his arms as he smiled.
"You little bastard. Have you gone mad? Are you really going to start a
war and take numerous of lives just for several insignificant normal
folks?!" The Sect Leader bellowed as he glimpsed at the wreckage of
dead disciples down below.
Although he wasn't afraid of Xu Que, since he hadn't heard of Duan Jiu

De’s reputation, he was still unsure of what Xu Que could do. Hence, he
assumed that once Xu Que killed several disciples, his rage and thirst
for revenge would be satisfied.
He never imagined that Xu Que’s methods of revenge were so vile and

destructive. Even after killing the 10 disciples on the way back, he
wasn't even close to being satiated. Instead, he barged through the Sect
domains and started slaughtering everything in his path.
"Hahahah!!!" Xu Que burst out in random laughter, an evil sinister look

radiated from his eyes as his gaze fell upon the old, black robed
cultivator. "What rights do you have to speak to me about killing
innocents? I’ve said this before, I shall trample over the entire Fallen
Spirits Sect until it’s nothing more than a plot of ruins, where nobody is
alive. WHAT. I’VE.SAID. I. SHALL. DO.
What I’ve said, I shall do!
These words echoed to the heavens and was deafening.
The remaining disciples who were alive in Fallen Spirits Sect had
lifeless expressions on their face as though they had given up on
survival. Their eyes however reflected immense panic and fear.
The disciples had expected to feel a sense of safety and security with
the Sect Leader. In contrast, at this moment, they found themselves
being extremely afraid, without a solution of extricating themselves from
this mess.
The black robed cultivator’s face turned ashen as well. All of a sudden,
he considered the possibility of this young man’s words and understood
that he really meant to wipe the entire sect out. Could it really be the
return of the fabled and legendary Duan Jiu De?
"You… What are you going to do? This is a small matter. Is there a need
to blow it out of proportion?"
The only man eventually decided to give in to him, whatever he might

ask. He then sighed as he spoke slowly.
However, these words had the opposite effect on Xu Que. Instead of

causing him to calm down, it further enraged him.
"A small matter? An entire village of innocent lives were slaughtered by

your sect ruthlessly and you dare to bloody tell me it’s a small matter?
Keke…" Xu Que started laughing sinisterly to himself once more as he
continued speaking. "Fine, small matter. I shall let you taste a small
matter as well!"
Whoosh!
The minute his final words were spoken, Xu Que’s shadow turned into a
blur and a flash of lightning could be seen. He then charged towards the
remaining disciples.
Pu!
The black buster sword weaved in the air before slamming down hard on
the heads of many disciples, causing them to fall to the ground dead.
Xu Que pulled out the long piece of fabric from the inventory space in
his system. He had bought it yesterday after being instructed by Xiao
Rou.
"Xiao Rou, we shall make new clothes for me on another day. This fabric
shall be used as burial cloth for these dead people today!"
He then started laughing like a crazed maniac.
Dragging the long piece of fabric across the room, he draped it around
the headless corpses of the disciples.
With a whoosh, the headless corpses were all tied together by the fabric
and were dragged by Xu Que into the air as he s tepped atop the
Lightning Haste spell, aiming to kill more disciples.
32 I Shall Kill The Entire Sec
Chapter 32: I Shall Kill The Entire Sect

"You crazy thing. Do you really think that I don’t dare to kill you?"
The black robed cultivator was clearly furious as well and found it
impossible to contain his anger. He drew a long shiny sword.
Zhng!
The sharp longsword gave out a loud cry as it scratched against the
surface of its scabbard. It swayed in the air for some time, reflecting
light across the entire pitch black area.
Within seconds, the entire sword burst into black flames, covering the
surface of the sword.
The intensity and heat of the fire radiated throughout the entire sect’s
stronghold.
Xu Que instantly knew that his life was in danger. He frowned before
hastily stepping atop his lightning and leaving the fiery location.
Shiu! Shiu! Shiu!
As soon as his body moved away, the spot which he stood at several
seconds ago was blown apart by several bright rays of light. The force
of the light rays were so immense that a huge crater was formed.
The strength and powers displayed by this bla ck robed cultivator caused
Xu Que to tremble in fear.
He was indeed an Original Infant Staged cultivator, for his might was
colossal.
"Ignorant kid. I had originally planned to spare you and show you mercy
on account of your master’s great name. Who would’ve expected you to
take advantage of my mercy and forced me to draw my strength from my
core. Now, it’s too late for regrets!" The black robed cultivator cleared
his throat and spoke before waving a large fist. Instantly, he conjured
numerous swords which were covered in black flames too as they
soared threateningly towards Xu Que.
"Hehe, why should I regret? Do you really think that just because I’m a
mere Core Bearing Stage, I won’t be able to overcome you?"
Xu Que laughed out coldly as he forced his palms together. His ten
fingers were all touching each other as a shadow emerged from his
hands and conjured the ancient spell!
It was the secret character "Troops!"
This special secret character came from the novel , and was one of the
nine secret ancient characters. Once this character was possessed and
mustered, it would enable excellent and perfect control over an army or
any weapons. What was special about this character was that it enabled
the user to steal and gain control of an enemy’s weapons and troops.
Therefore, he was able to cause the weapons to turn on its owner.
Although this particular spell only had a 10% completed mastery, it was
a sky-ranked spell afterall and was specially created by the Imperial
God. It’s strength was immense and would be the nightmare of many
cultivators to come.
Whoosh!
At the exact same time, the black robed cultivator’s swords filled up the
entire sky like meteor showers and threatened to rain down upon Xu
Que like a sky full of a thousand arrows.
However, just as the blazing swords were about to rain down upon Xu
Que, he finally completed conjuring his spell. It was as if time was called
to a halt. All those thousands of black flamed swords seemed to have
been blocked by an invisible transparent wall for they froze in mid air
unmoving.
"What the?" The black robed cultivator trembled in fear. He knew that
this spelt trouble for him.
He then realized that he had lost all control of the spell which enabled
him to conjure so many flaming swords. No matter how he tried to recall
the swords, they wouldn’t listen and remained unmoving just in front of
Xu Que!
"Old baldy, go to hell!"

Xu Que gritted his teeth as he realized it was getting more difficult to
upkeep the ancient spell. His hands were still waving in a ritualistic
manner, attempting to keep control of the stolen fiery swords.
In the next moment, the boundless amounts of core energy within his
body were all almost drained out. Even though he had 5 spiritual roots
and had 5 cores, it was hard to sustain the amount of energy being used
up by this special character-Troops.
However, it seemed like Xu Que had succeeded!
He managed to temporarily wrestle control over the old black robed

cultivator’s skills and even managed to use it against him.
The tens of thousands of black fiery swords turned in unison and

pointed at the black robed cultivator.
With a wave of his hands, the swords darted in the air once more as
they soared towards the black robed cultivator this time.
"How… How could this be?"
The old cultivator opened his eyes wide, unable to believe the scene
that was unfolding before him.
At this point, he had nowhere to run and he has nothing to defend

himself with!
He managed to conjure this spell by burning away at his core energy.

Right now, he couldn’t stop such a powerful spell. Unless…
"No, stop it! Obliterating the village wasn’t the plan of Fallen Spirits
Sect. Someone instructed us to do it." The old black robed cultivator
shouted out in panic.
Xu Que heard these words and hurriedly raised his hands up, causing
all the black flaming swords to pause in mid air once more. He then
looked coldly at the old cultivator, "What did you say?"
The black robed old man heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that his
gamble had paid off. Only this young man could control the spell at this
point.
"I have no feud against you, why would I send men to Pan Shan Village
to kill them? This matter was commanded by me to execute by Elder
Sun of Celestial Sect. It was her who personally broke through your
protective screen by using the Spell Breaking Cartridge. She then
commanded me to kill the villagers and rewarded me with a vial of
Vitality Pill!" The old black robed cultivator shouted out in fear.
Xu Que’s eyes gaped wide open as he replied, "Celestial Sect, Elder

Sun?"
That old woman Sun Jue Li? Why? Why would she do that?
Her Sect Leader Zhang Dan Shan just promised me that he would
ensure the safety of Pan Shan Village.
But at last, it was Celestial Sect who was behind this attack!
The more Xu Que thought about this, the angrier he became. Killing
intent radiated across all directions!
"That’s right. It was her who planned this. I’ve reached an obstruction in
my cultivation and failed to ascend further. As a result of the failure, my
soul and mental faculties were hurt. Hence, I required the Vitality Pill in
order to recover properly. She used the Vitality Pill to entice me into
destroying Pan Shan Village. If you wish to exact revenge, don't’ do it on
my Fallen Spirits Sect. You should go and find her!"
The old black robed cultivator shouted out as he felt a sense of relief.
He had started to regain his connection with the flying swords at last.
However, Xu Que’s reply to him made him despair once again.
"My apologies. I take my words very seriously. Since I’ve already said
that I would annihilate your entire sect, that’s what I will do."
The minute his words fell, Xu Que allowed his raised hands to fall, as
tens of thousands of black flamed sword descended continued its
trajectory across.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Most of the black flamed swords pierced through the heart of the black
robed cultivator, causing him to die almost instantly. All that was left
was a severely wrecked body, which fell to the ground lifelessly.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for suc cessfully acting tough.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant

Stage cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points and a storage
ring."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for su ccessfully killing your first

Original Infant Stage cultivator. The reward is a gift bag. Would you like
to open it?"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for gaining a level. The current
cultivation stage is Core Bearing Stage, level 7."
...
Following the numerous beeps going off in his head, Xu Que didn’t react
like how he usually would in elation.
He shook his head as he carried Xiao Rou’s small frame and walked
over slowly to the deceased black robe cultivator. He dragged the long
piece of fabric along with him as he walked over. He then tied the fabric
to the dead corpse of this Fallen Spirits Sect Leader.
His gaze then turned cold as he looked at the remaining disciples who
were staring right back at him with intense fear and trepidation. With a
stoic expression, he shouted across at them, "Next up! It’s your turn!"
His indifferent and cold voice sounded to them like it came from the very
depths of hell, causing their scalps to go numb in fear.
"Ah!!!"
Some of the remaining disciples couldn’t endure the fear in their hearts.
They screamed out shrilly before fleeing towards the mountains.
Before long, Xu Que managed to use his Six Corporeal Forms with his
buster sword and hacked them down. Like with the rest of the bodies, he
draped the piece of fabric along the corpses.
This was definitely a night for death and vengeance!
Xu Que acted like the grim reaper, collecting the lives of all the Fallen
Spirits Sect members.
All the way ‘till day broke, he didn’t allow a single person to escape.
The entire Fallen Spirits Sect had been annihilated by him. Several long
string of fabrics were filled with hundreds of corpses. Most of them were
headless as Xu Que dragged them across on the ground, causing an
entire trail of blood.
"Up next, it’ll be your turn, Celestial Sect!"
Xu Que stood at the cliff of the mountain and looked in the direction of
Celestial Sect with cold hatred in his eyes. Killing intent welled within
him and radiated out.
Although he was furious, he wasn’t blinded by the need for revenge.
He was very clear that Celestial Sect was different from a small sect like
the Fallen Spirits Sect.
Celestial Sect had several elders who were in the Original Infant Stage.
There was also the Sect Leader, Zhang Dan Shan who was in the Infant
Transformation Stage. With his current strength, there was absolutely no
way that Xu Que could overpower him.
"Looks like I have to purchase even more powerful skills!"
Xu Que mumbled to himself before opening up the system interface. He

then accessed the inventory.
He still remembered after killing the Sect Leader of Fallen Spirits Sect
that he received a great deal of experience, a storage ring and a
mysterious gift pack.
The storage ring was a personal item belonging to the Sect Leader. Xu
Que looked at its contents briefly and noticed that apart from several
spell manuals, there were vials of herbs and spirit stones.
Nothing much of worth could be found within. He then turned his

attention to the mysterious large gift pack.
"Open the gift pack!"
Once he shouted out these words in his mind, the interface started to
glow brightly with white light.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for obtaining 2x Beginner’s

Divine Escape Emblem!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for obtaining 1x Disguise

Puppet!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for obtaining ‘Bone Freezing

Fire’. Would you like to assimilate this?"
...
After the system had finished with its notifications, there were an
additional three new items within the inventory.
As for the "Divine Escape Emblem", not much had to be said about it
since Xu Que had even used it several times before.
As for the "Disguise Puppet", he had obtained one before but never had
the chance to use it. Today, he managed to acquire another and Xu Que
didn’t think too much about it.
The last item was the Bone Freezing Fire. Receiving this item made Xu
Que feel like he just stepped on dog shit for some strange reason.
Bone Chilling Fire. That came from the novel and was a very popular
spell.
This spell was ranked 11th in terms of strength and belonged to Yao
Lao. Soon after, it was handed over to the main character of the novel,
Xiao Yan.
The might of this fire was extremely renowned. It combined both

extreme poles of heat and cold, resulting in astonishi ng effects.
Additionally, the coexistence of extreme heat and cold could only be
witnessed once every couple of hundreds of years under extremely
precise conditions.
Xu Que even checked the price of this spell within the shops of the
system. He then noticed that it costed 1,300 acting tough points.
Extremely expensive!
"Keke… Looks like even the heavens are on my side. Celestial Sect,
you’re doomed!"
Xu Que gave a cold laughter before absorbing the spell capabilities into
his body.
In that instant, he could feel an intense heat within his dantian region.
This heat was emitting white cold mist. It was so hot that it could literally
melt anything in this world.
Xu Que happily told the system, "Purchase and number 19’s !"
"Ding! 50 acting tough points have been spent to purchase . Would you
like to learn it?"
"Ding! 38 acting tough points have been spent to purchase Molten

Green Lotus. Would you like to absorb it into your body?
"Yes!"
….
Soon after, Xu Que had already mastered an additional sky level spell.
Additionally, he had assimilated the Molten Green Lotus into his body as
well and would coexist with the Bone Freezing Fire.
He then walked into the treasure room of the Fallen Spirits Sect and
allowed the system to acquire their treasure. All of t hem were recycled
into around 300 skill essences, which he spent all on Buddha’s Fiery
Lotus and successfully increased the mastery by 30%!
This meant that he could use all three types of mystical fires at the same
time!
At last, Xu Que lifted up Xiao Rou’s body as he dragged the fabric

containing all the dead corpses and returned to Pan Shan Village.
He knew that once he headed to Celestial Sect for his revenge, even if
he was successful, he would never be able to return to Pan Shan Village
after.
Hence, he decided to return to the village, where he personally dug up

dozens of trenches. He then placed every single fallen villager within
each grave and included a stone to mark their graves as well.
As for Xiao Rou, he buried her right at the top of the mountain, where
everything was quiet and beautiful.
Xu Que erected a stone which had inscriptions on it. ‘Xiao Rou, tomb for
her mortal body! -Done by Xu Que!’
Since Xiao Rou hasn’t truly died, Xu Que was confident in reviving her.
Hence, this grave can be considered a grave for the flesh belonging to
her previous life!
Xiao Rou’s soul was being harboured within the Soul Pagoda and kept
safe. When Xu Que used his own spirit to scry within the pagoda, he
could recognize Xiao Rou’s soft and delicate features sleeping soundly
and comfortably within the pagoda. The calmness about her sleeping
surprised Xu Que to no end.
"Xiao Rou, trust me. It won’t be much longer before I revive you!"
"And now, it’s time to seek my revenge from the Celestial Sect!"
As he finished speaking, Xu Que conjured his Lightning Haste spell as

he dragged the long fabric of dead corpses along with him as he
disappeared like lightning towards Celestial Sect.
...
Before long, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky just above the
domains of Celestial Sect. Killing intent radiated all around.
"Sun Jue Li, Zhang Da Shan. Come out of your hiding shells right now!"
An ear piercing and ground shaking voice sounded as it perforated

through the layers of clouds and reached Celestial Sect.
33 Come Out Now! Otherwise, I Shall Obliterate The

Entire Celestial Sect!

Chapter 33: Come Out Now! Otherwise, I Shall Obliterate The Entire
Celestial Sect!
Many disciples were present at the training grounds of Celestial Sect as

they conducted their usual morning training sessions. They were
abruptly startled by a sudden onset of great, crushing pressure and
someone shouting outside.
How could this person be so daring?
Is he crazy? He actually dared to speak so rudely to Elder Sun and Sect

Leader Zhang? And even dared to ask them to come out of their shells?
All the disciples craned their necks to look up at the perpetrator and
were stumped by the sight.
High up in the clouds, a youth was riding atop a bolt of lightning. He was
clutching onto a several long pieces of cloth. The cloth were tied to
countless of headless bodies. Blood dripped all around showing a gory
sight.
What… What’s happening?
Everyone were stunned by whatever they saw. Several of them had

never witnessed someone dying before and they bent over to vomit
violently.
Some female disciples were screaming out in fear.
Only the more bold and daring disciples looked up at the chain of
corpses and shouted out, "Look at the robes worn by those dead bodies.
They’re all… Disciples of Fallen Spirits Sect!"
"Ai, that’s true. They’re all from Fallen Spirits Sect."
"Wait a minute. Look at the black robed person… How… How’s that
possible?"
"It’s actually the Sect Leader of Fallen Spirits Sect!"
In that instant, the entire training grounds were rifled up.
The Fallen Spirits Sect Leader had actually been killed and so many
disciples were hanging from the piece of cloth. Could it be that he…
Exterminated the entire sect?

The reward is 20 act tough points!"


...
Xu Que could hear the system going off in his head. He then looked
down in the direction of the Celestial Sect stronghold.
"Shiu!"
Several beams of light could be seen appearing in the sky above

Celestial Sect.
It was the elite disciples who had flew out from within Celestial Sect on
their flying swords. The minute they caught a glimpse of Xu Que, their
faces were full of dread!
Tang Xue Rou was among the disciples. When she looked at Xu Que,
she noticed that he was tugging along countless of dead bodies. Her
eyes widened as her lips trembled. She couldn’t even speak a single
word.
How… How could this be?
He actually… Killed the Sect Leader of Fallen Spirits Sect?
Xu Que floated down expressionlessly. As he stood atop a red tiled roof,

he released the strings of fabric, causing the corpses to fall heavily
down onto the training grounds!
"Boom!"
Instantly, fresh blood burst out of the body and seeped into the ground.
Most of the Celestial Sect disciples had never witnessed such a

gruesome and gory seen before. Their faces turned pale as they
retreated several steps back hastily.
Xu Que casted an icy glance across his surroundings and shouted out,
"I shall repeat myself. Sun Jue Li, Zhang Dan Shan, come out of your
tortoise shells now cowards! If not, I shall flatten the entire Celestial
Sect too!"
"Outrageous! How dare your little mouth speak the names of my Sect
Leader and Elders with such impunity?"
At this point, the elite disciples who had just came out from within the
sect stronghold shouted out in fury.
Tang Xue Rou then realized what had happened and ran forward, "What
have you done? The minute I returned, I informed the matter to my
master and the higher ups. Today, my Sect Leader was supposed to
handle the matter. You..."
At this point, Tang Xue Rou realized that her words didn’t matter
anymore. She then continued, "Since you’ve already killed the Sect
Leader of Fallen Spirits Sect, why have you come today to kick up a
fuss? Yesterday, we happened to pass by. When we saw Fallen Spirits
Sect ravaging the village, we decided to lend a helping hand. We didn’t
assist them or participate in the slaughter at all."
Xu Que looked around coldly as he was lazy to explain himself. He

stood atop the roof quietly.
After several breaths, the entire stronghold was still and quiet.
Xu Que then allowed himself to smile, "Fine. Since you won’t come out,
then…. Your disciples would have to take the blame for you and suffer
the consequences on your behalf!"
The minute his words landed, he stepped atop the bolt of lightning and
transformed into the Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformation and charged
towards the group of elite disciples who had shouted out in disapproval
at him.
….
Earlier in the day, before Xu Que had arrived, Zhang Dan Shan and the
rest of them already knew what had happened the night before.
The few of them gathered within the meeting hall of Celestial Sect.
Zhang Dan Shan, Sun Jue Li and the rest of the Sect Elders were
present within the hall. The atmosphere was tense.
Zhang Dan Shan furrowed his brows and looked at the old woman for a
long time before sighing in anger. "Elder Sun, you… How could you
have done something like that? You do know that I just promised him
yesterday that I would protect the entire Pan Shan Village. And you had
the cheek to... Sigh!"
The old woman had a murderous expression on her face as she replied
coldly, "Those are just the mere lives of ants. So what if I’ve killed
them? Would that little bastard really come seeking revenge just for
something so minor? I’ve followed you for more than 10 years and I’ve
helped by contributing hugely to the sect and to yourself. How can those
insects who’ve died compare to what I’ve done for you?"
"Ai, Elder Sun, that's not what I meant. But you probably didn’t know
that Pan Shan Village was very special to Xu Que. If he finds out about
what transpired and comes to Celestial Sect, how should I account to
him?" Zhang Dan Shan shook his head.
The old woman then laughed out, "Maybe you don’t have to account to
him anymore. Yesterday my disciple Tang Xue Ruo happened to pass by
Pan Shan Village. When he saw the bloodbath that happened, he
decided to go alone to Fallen Spirits Sect to take revenge. There can be
two outcomes that may happen. If he dies at Fallen Spirits Sect, my plan
would’ve worked in getting rid of him. Besides, should Duan Jiu De
come for revenge, he would only look for Fallen Spirits Sect to have his
revenge."
Zhang Dan Shan waved his hands, "Forget it, forget it! With his status
and abilities, Fallen Spirits Sect will not be able to kill him so easily.
How about this, send some men to Fallen Spirits Sect and demand for
their Sect Leader to come out. After a few days, I shall execute him in
public myself. This should be enough for Xu Que to see that justice has
been served."
"Why? Sect Leader, you want to kill him yourself? Why not allow an elite
disciple to do this? Why do you care so much about what this kid
thinks?"
Zhang Dan Shan revealed an expression of bitterness and difficulty. He

shook his head and replied, "You don’t know the might of Duan Jiu De. If
any of you here have met him before, you probably won’t have such a
defiant and stubborn attitude."
The minute he finished speaking, a loud shout rang out from outside of
Celestial Sect. It was Xu Que shouting!
"Sun Jue Li, Zhang Da Shan. Come out of your hiding shells right now!"
In that instant, the faces of everyone within the hall turned ashen!
"Shit! He’s come for us. Look at the way he’s speaking. I’m afraid he
already knows the truth!" An elder spoke out, frowning.
Zhang Dan Shan furrowed his brows as well.
The old woman however had a look of extreme anger. She slammed the
table with her palms and stood up, "Screw him! How dare he speak our
names with such disrespect! And that idiot Sect Leader of Fallen Spirits
Sect. He’s asking for death as well. Not only did he release that little
bastard, he even told him the truth!"
At this point, another shout could be heard from Xu Que.
"I shall repeat myself. Sun Jue Li, Zhang Dan Shan, come out of your
tortoise shells now cowards. If not, I shall flatten the entire Celestial
Sect too!"
The minute these words were spoken, even the mid tempered Sect
Leader was enraged!
Flatten the entire Celestial Sect? Does this kid even respect me?
The old woman and the rest of the elders were infuriated!
The Celestial Sect had been establish ed for hundreds of years. This was
the first time that anyone dared to speak such words to them!
"This person doesn’t respect anyone and is too arrogant. Sect Leader,
ignore him first. The elite disciples of our sect would know how to
handle him. The last time he managed to kill some of our sect elders is
because of the protective spells. Since he’s come today and
misbehaved, does he really think nobody can kill him?" The old woman
spoke out coldly.
Zhang Dan Shan fell into a moment of silence as he looked down and
nodded his head, "He really deserves to be punished."
…
Outside, Xu Que had begun his massacre.
At this point, he was already a Core Bearing Stage cultivator, level 7.

With the speed of the Lightning Haste on his heels, and the final form of
the Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformations, these mere Golden Core
Stage cultivators were no match for him at all!
Within several breaths, Xu Que moved around the battlefields quickly

and decisively ended the lives of anyone who stood in his way. He
showed no mercy.
The rest of the disciples watched on in fear, their eyes were wide open
in surprise. They had just witnessed Xu Que punching right through the
bodies of the elite disciples. He even plunged his hands into their
dantian to plunder their golden cores, causing them to die on the spot.
The disciples who were surrounding Xu Que were astonished by his

prowess and were stumped!
Many of them still couldn’t fathom whatever was happening.
Did that just happen? That Xu Que killed an elite disciple with a single
punch?
How… How is that possible?
He was only a cultivator in the Core Bearing Stage. He couldn’t even fly
on a flying sword. With his pair of bare knuckles, he completely
obliterated these extremely powerful elite disciples!
Am I dreaming right now?
"There isn’t enough cloth to tie all of your dead bodies! Since that’s the
case, how about I use your bones to form an entire pagoda as a tribute
to my Xiao Rou and all the dead villagers!" Xu Que started laughing out
coldly. He then collected the lifeless bodies of the elite disciples and
piled them up in a heap of dead flesh.
Intense anger was written all over his face and eyes as he glared at the
remaining Celestial Sect disciples who were standing there frozen in
fear.
A group of disciples jumped up in fear as his gaze swept across them,

causing them to tremble in fear. They regained their senses as their
faces turned pale.
Then, they realized that things weren’t looking favorable to them.

Someone was actually killing Celestial Sect disciples and the people he
first killed were actually the cream of the crop, the elite disciples!
"Quick, run!"
"Inform the Sect Elders and Leader. Hurry!"
All of a sudden, the entire place was thrown into chaos as many
disciples rushed back into the sect stronghold.
34 Blood Calls For Blood!
Chapter 34: Blood Calls For Blood!

"Sect Elders, Sect Leader, not good. That Xu Que is killing his way up
here!"
"He’s gone mad. He brought an entire mound of dead bodies and even
killed our elite senior brothers!" Outside the meeting hall, several
Celestial Sect disciples clambered their way in, as they knelt before the
closed door and shouted out in fear.
With a loud thud, the door to the hall opened up. A few Elders walked
out with a surprised expression etched over their faces.
"What are you speaking of? That Xu Que dared to kill our sect’s
disciples?"
They were all dumbfounded by this shocking revelation!
The elite disciples were all at least of Golden Core cultivation stages,
and everyone of them had underwent training away from the sect
domains and had a wealth of experience. How could they all be killed by
just a mere Core Bearing Stage cultivator?
"That little bastard is sick of living! Sect Leader, I shall bring his head on
a platter for you." The old woman was so outraged that it wouldn’t be
surprising if smoke bellowed from her nostrils and mouth. She gritted
her teeth in anger and clutched her flying sword, ready to depart.
Zhang Dan Shan’s face fell, "Elder Sun, please hold it. You must not kill
this person!"
"What?" The old woman widened her eyes in surprise, "Sect Leader,
that little bastard even dared to kill our disciples under our noses. How
can we let him off so easily? If word gets out, how can we still hold our
own in Fire Country?"
Zhang Dan Shan was getting angrier by the minute, as he let out a loud
shout, "Shut up! If you didn’t take matters into your own hands, would
this matter be blown out of proportion to this extent?"
"Sect Leader, you…" The old woman paused in shock.
The few other Elders present were stumped as well. El der Sun was one
of the Elders who helped with the establishment of the Sect from the
earlier days!
Besides, the Sect Leader had always regarded her very highly all these
while, and gave her frequent privileges above everyone else. Yet he lost
his temper at her just because of this Xu Que!
"Don’t forget that this person’s master is Duan Jiu De! I’ve already
mentioned that we cannot afford to offend him. Xu Que has an amulet
on him. Once he’s in danger, he would break the seal on the amulet and
Duan Jiu De would come immediately to his aid. Let’s not even speak of
Celestial Sect, the entire nation would be finished." Zhang Dan Shan
spoke in fear.
The Elders around him listened to his words and inhaled a breath of cold
air.
The entire nation would be finished?
My god. Was that Duan Jiu De some sort of a deity?
No wonder that even the Sect Leader was so fearful of him. Looks like
he really cannot be messed around with!
"Ai, what should we do now then?"
"We cannot allow him to kill everyone in Celestial Se ct to vent his

frustration, right?"
The Sect Elders voiced out in worry.
The old woman’s expression softened after being shaken by Zhang Dan
Shan’s words. She finally understood that Duan Jiu De really couldn’t be
offended at any costs.
After several moments of consideration, the old woman gritted her teeth
and decided to compromise. "Leader, this matter is my fault and I shall
bear full responsibility. I shall go and account to him now."
"How do you think you’re going to handle it?" Zhang Dan Shan as ked.
The old woman shut her eyes and inhaled deeply. She then withdrew a
vial of pills from her storage ring and replied, "This is my last bottle of
Vitality Pills. I shall give it to him to atone for my actions!"
Zhang Dan Shan’s face softened as well as he nodded his head gently.
"Although the Vitality Pills are precious, it might not be enough to soothe
his rage. Take some other weapons along with the pills."
"Yes…" The old woman replied through gritted teeth.
It was very obvious how unhappy she was at the prospect of having to
do something as shameful as this!
The few people behind were stumped by this. Retrieving their flying
swords, they made haste and headed towards the training grounds.
Before long, they finally arrived.
The sight that greeted them caused all the Original Infant Stage Sect
Elders and the Infant Transformation Stage Sect Leader to take a step
back in shock!
Xu Que was standing in the middle of the training grounds. To his right
were the hundreds of gory and severely wrecked dea d bodies belonging
to the disciples of Fallen Spirits Sect. To his right were another mound
of dead bodies. This time, belonging to the elite disciples of Celestial
Sect. The entire training ground was dyed red from the amount of blood
that had bled out!
However, the reason they were so stunned was the evident sight of the
black robed dead body lying in the middle.
"The Sect Leader of Fallen Spirits Sect is dead? These… These people
were killed by you?" An Elder looked towards Xu Que and asked.
"You finally dared to show yourselves? Hehe... Wait ‘till I get my hands
on that old haggard woman. Then you shall know if I was the one who
killed all these people." Xu Que laughed coldly upon seeing their
emergence. His gaze fell upon the old woman as killing int ent emanated
from his pupils.
The old woman felt an intense chill ran down her spine as her heart
trembled in fear.
The Elders present were all astonished by the sight.
That old man in black robes was an Original Infant Stage cultivator after
all!
And he actually died at the hands of this kid?
How… How was that possible?
At the same time, the disciples which had fled earlier noticed that even
the Elders and the Leader had appeared. They momentarily returned
and gained some courage.
Their faces were full of anger as they glared at Xu Que in anger.
Then, someone roared out, "Sect Leader, his moves are too vicious! My
senior brothers merely exchanged words with him and he killed them all
for it!"
"That’s right Sect Leader. You have to avenge our fal len brothers!"
"Give this evil person a thousand cuts to his body!"
Seeing that everyone had turned against him, Xu Que smiled

confidently, "Please don’t be too anxious. I shall send all of you on your
way to meet your fallen brothers!"
Everyone present was enraged by his words and shouted out fiercely,
"You killed hundreds of people without batting an eyelid. My fallen
brothers shall return as vengeful spirits and will never let you off!"
"Today, our Celestial Sect will give you a hundred thousand c uts without
ending your life!"
"You shall be in misery begging for your death but it shall not come!"
...
The harsh scoldings from the training ground rose up to the skies.
Tang Xue Rou stood in the middle of the crowd, her face was full of fury
as well. She raised a finger and pointed at Xu Que and shouted out
harshly, "Yesterday, I saw you weeping for that girl and I thought you
were a good person who valued relationships and feelings. I didn’t
expect you to be such an asshole who can’t differentiate wrong from
right. I even explained to you yesterday that we were merely just
passing and weren’t accomplices with Fallen Spirits Sect. Why have you
come here to slaughter innocent lives?"
She was not alone for all the Celestial Sect disciples didn’t know the
truth. They thought that Xu Que was just killing for the sake of killing!
Xu Que shook his head and laughed coldly, his eyes were fixed upon
Tang Xue Rou, "Have you heard of the phrase, ‘big breasted but
brainless’? Well that describes you very well!"
"You…" Tang Xue Rou’s face turned red as she shook in anger.
"You, what you? Don’t you know who instigated the Fallen Spirits Sect
to attack the village? That’s right, it was your master. The old hag
without a conscience!" Xu Que shouted back.
The minute his words were spoken, everyone turned around

simultaneously. It was pin drop silence. Everything was still!
All their glances were casted upon the old woman.
The old woman gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She glared back
at Xu Que, killing intent permeated in the air and radiated out from her
pupils as well.
Her silence on this matter allowed all the disciples of Celestial Sect to
understand a simple fact.
Their Elder Sun had actually collaborated with an evil sect such as
Fallen Spirits Sect to kill the innocent villagers.
Tang Xue Rou was astounded in this revelation and her mind went
blank. She looked at her own master in utter disbelief, not daring to
believe those words.
"My friend, Xu!"
At this point, a plain voice rang out, breaking the silence.
Zhang Dan Shan looked calmly at Xu Que and spoke, "Please take a
moment to calm down. This matter, we shall be accountable to you."
As soon as he finished her sentence, he turned his gaze to look at the

old woman.
The old woman’s face turned ashen as she retrieved the vial of pill from
her robes.
She then spoke out unwillingly, "This matter was started and caused by
me. I shall give up this vial of Vitality Pills in order to compensate for the
lives of the insects. I mean, villagers! You can also go to the treasure
vaults belonging to my sect and pick out any weapons or treasure you
fancy!"
As she spoke, she pointed at the vial which floated towards Xu Que and
dropped gently before him.
Xu Que caught the bottle before it dropped. Without looking at the

contents, he smashed it onto the ground in anger.
With a loud crash, the glass vial broke into a thousand tiny pieces.
Several precious pills which incur the envy of many Original Infant Stage
cultivators fell to the ground and dissolved u nder the thick blood on the
floor.
Xu Que then laughed out loud, "What rubbish pills are these? You think
a vial of rubbish pills can erase the innocent blood on your hands?
Wishful thinking! Let me tell you. Even if you decide to give me the
entire Celestial Sect as payment, it wouldn’t even be enough!"
"Outrageous!" The old woman burst out in anger, her eyes were fixated
at the pills on the ground which were dissolving gradually. Her heart was
almost bleeding from the loss of such a valuable item!
Zhang Dan Shan trembled subtly as he creased his brows and looked at
Xu Que, "What exactly do you want?
"What do I want? Hahahahahaha!!!" Xu Que burst out in uncontrollable

laughter.
That course and evil laughter was mechanic like a clock and echoed
throughout the entire sect domain.
In the next instant, his laughter ceased. His eyes were bloodshot as he
glared at the old woman. He then spoke word by word, accentuating his
feelings. "I want the life of this old hag! BLOOD. CALLS. FOR. BLOOD.
35 Buddha’s Fiery Lotus, Explode!
Chapter 35: Buddha’s Fiery Lotus, Explode!

Blood must be repaid in blood
These four words stirred the hearts of everyone present!
All the Celestial Sect disciples froze. They never imagined that Xu Que
would give such a reply.
Blood must be repaid in blood. Did this mean that unless every member
of Celestial Sect was dead, he wouldn’t rest?
But where did he get the courage to speak words like these?
In front of the Sect Leader, there were so many other Sect Elders and
he was just a mere Core Bearing Stage cultivator. Where did he get
such courage from?
"Whoosh!"
Just as the disciples were deep in thought and fear, Xu Que had already
began his silent assault.
His figure turned into a blur, a pair of lightning bolts interlocked with
each other beneath his feet as he charged with astonishing speed
towards the old woman!
Under the form of the Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformation, Xu Que’s

powers were way stronger than the Core Bearing Stage which he
currently was in.
With his fists clenched, he recalled all the killing intent which radiated
out and charged it within his body. Right at its peak, he allowed it to
explode from his body!
The old woman seemed to snap back from her daze as cold sweat
started to form across her forehead. Her expression changed as she fell
back in eager retreat.
Xu Que’s power which emanated from his body used the complete
strength of the entire 9 forms. His strength was 9 times more powerful
than his usual strength and would definitely surpass and overcome an
Original Infant Stage cultivator.
Additionally, the old woman had sustained internal injuries by destroying

the protective screen created by the Four Directions Desolation. Her
strength had been significantly reduced as well.
Time seemed to freeze as she realized she couldn’t outmatch Xu Que in

terms of speed. She looked dazedly at Xu Que’s fists that resembled the
head of a huge dragon, becoming closer and closer to her face.
Just before his fist could do any damage to her, half an inch away, a
shadow appeared before the old woman, blocking Xu Que from her.
"Enough!"
A loud shout echoed out, as a wave of crushing pressure descended

down.
Xu Que couldn’t stop in time and crashed with the shadow. However, it
felt like as though he fell onto a patch of grass and flowers, without
sustaining any injuries to himself.
Soon after, he felt a large wave of energy crush down upon him. His
chest quivered as his entire body was hoisted up into the air. With a dull
"boom", he was flung onto the training grounds.
Pu!
Xu Que was on bended knees as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He

had been wounded!
The Infant Transformation Stage… Was too powerful!
At this point, even with the addition of many more spells, he was clearly
of no match for the Sect Leader.
Xu Que’s heart fluttered as his eyes looked up and fixed themselves like
a death stare upon the Sect Leader, Zhang Dan Shan who was standing
in front of the old woman, protecting her.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Dan Shan protected her, Xu Que was
absolutely sure that the old woman would’ve sustained severe injuries.
He would’ve then activated the Bone Freezing Fires and burn her to
death.
However, the Infant Transformation cultivator decided to intervene,

ruining Xu Que’s plans.
The difference in strength between the Infant Transformation Stage and

Xu Que’s present stage were 2 huge stages. After his current Core
Bearing Stage, he would become a Golden Core Stage cultivator before
becoming an Original Infant Stage cultivator. The difference was too
huge and couldn’t be compensated by just having more spells.
"Friend Xu, you almost killed her. That would have to suffice!"
Zhang Dan Shan looked coldly at Xu Que and spoke in a low voice.
Even in his tone, there was a threatening demeanor.
"Heheh… Once I kill this old woman, that would suffice for me!" Xu Que
clutched his chest and laughed out loud. At the same time, he conjured
the system wordlessly to begin recovery and the healing process.
Instantly, his wounds seemed to get less serious as he felt better with
each second.
Zhang Da Shan’s face fell as he spoke out, "Are you sure you wish to
make an enemy out of me over the deaths of those mere villagers? Even
if your master were to show up here today, I wouldn't allow you to do
something that would hurt both sides like that!"
"The deaths of mere villagers? Haha!" Xu Que’s face revealed a

laughter of mockery as he palmed the ground and gradually got up.
"So what if they were normal people? Based on the way I see it, killing
an entire village of defenseless and helpless villagers is the lowest a
person can go. And this old woman can’t even compare to beasts!"
"So what if both sides would take damage? It’s something that I would
be willing to do even if death would come to me!"
...
His voice echoed throughout the entire training grounds like a ray of
light.
All the disciples remained standing in a daze, watching him. Xu Que’s

words echoed continuously in their minds.
Tang Xue Rou was stunned as well, her mouth was mumbling under her
breath as she repeated Xu Que’s words to herself.
So what if they were normal people? So what if both sides would tak e
damage?
Under such a situation, he was still able to speak such hot blooded,
compassionate words. Does that show that he was sentimental and kind
or that he was foolish?
Ai!
Tang Xue Rou shook her head. She was very sure that Sect Leader
would defend her master to the very end. If Xu Que insisted on having
his way, he would ultimately be the one who would suffer.



The system rang out repeatedly in Xu Que’s head.

Xu Que wasn’t the least bothered by it.
At this point, Zhang Dan Shan shouted out angrily, "Idiot!"
However, he didn’t make any move to attack Xu Que. Remaining rooted

where he stood in front of the old woman, he continued speaking.
"On account of your master, I shall not attack you. However, I have to
warn you as well. From this moment on, you must not kill Elder Sun or
any disciple from Celestial Sect! My Celestial Sect is not a place for you
to misbehave."
"Is that so?" Xu Que’s lips curled into a sinister grin. "Then let me tell
you as well. If I wish to kill someone, nobody would be able to save
him."
The minute he completed his sentence, he summoned the core energy

from within his body. His fair and white pair of hands started extending
slowly out from beneath his robes.
Zhang Dan Shan paused, his face was full of suspicion and unsure of
what Xu Que was trying to do.
All the Celestial Sect disciples and their sect elders were equally baffled
at his actions.
What was he trying to do?
At the next moment, Xu Que turned his palms up towards the heaven as
his boundless core energy was visible atop his palms. He then moved
his hands until they were in front of his chest.
His movements were slow and steady. All of a sudden, a green flame of
mystical fire appeared on his right palm and soared into the heavens,
licking the clouds.
Whoosh!
The dazzling and burning fire warmed the entire around around him,
causing the training grounds to feel the intense heat.
The flame was burning bright green as it emanated a fierce glo w and
immeasurable powers. The way the green flames licked the surrounding
air and swirled about on his right palm looked extremely illusory.
Sssss!
The Sect Elders around all took in a deep breath of fresh air.
What spell was this? How could he conjure such astonishing and
strange fire such as this?
None of them present had ever seen anything like this!
Zhang Dan Shan’s face started to turn severe as his brows creased.
Even someone as powerful figure as himself had never seen such a

strange fire. It was green and burned deep with a strong and steadfast
demeanor. It was extremely intimidating as it emanated a burning aura,
heating up the entire area rapidly. Whatever he saw was more powerful
than anything he had ever witnessed!
In the next moment, Xu Que’s palms raised above his shoulders, facing
the sky. A white flame then appeared atop his left palm. It was
extremely subtle and looked more like smoke than flames. However, a
strange frosty coldness radiated from that white flame, engulfing
everyone around in a certain chilliness.
The disciples were all of varying cultivation levels and couldn’t help but
shiver from the cold. They hunched their necks as their faces were full
of fear!
Zhang Dan Shan and all the Elders around were immediately taken
aback by the sight of his powers.
As people of the Fire Country, they were more familiar with fire powers
more than anyone else. However, they’ve never seen anything like this.
A flame which was as cold as winter? Such coldness was even colder
than the Millenium Winter Spell.
Zhang Dan Shan trembled as he glared at Xu Que. He then thought to

himself, "Where did this kid acquire all these strange and ancients spells
from?"
Even for someone like senior Duan, he couldn’t possibly have access to
such special spells right?
For a split second, Zhang Dan Shan looked greedily in envy of the white
flames resting on Xu Que’s palm, almost as if he wanted to steal it away
from him.
At this point, Xu Que had already immersed himself completely within

the spell, not caring about anything else apart from himself. A wild and
crazy yet subtle smile was etched across his pale face.
Buddha’s Fiery Lotus!
This was the spell used in the novel Fight Breaks Spheres by the main
character Xiao Yan. Being able to use it required the complete control of
2 different forms of fire.
However, Xu Que had already trained the spell Buddha’s Fiery Lotus up
to 30%, and was enough to fuse the 3 different fires. At this point, he
only had 2 different types and combining them together wasn’t di fficult
for him.
As his palms were drawing close to each other, attempting to fuse the
different fires on each hand, the flames on his palms started dancing in
frenzy. The Molten Green Lotus fire which costs 300 acting tough points
and the Bone Freezing Fire which costs 1,300 acting tough points were
churning and surging violently. The intense heat and fierce coldness
clashed against each other at the training ground.
"Kid, what are you trying to do?" Zhang Dan Shan’s eyes squinted.
Although he had several hundred years of cultivation experience, there
was something extremely unsettling about what he saw.
The old woman who was standing behind him and the rest of the Elders
and disciples took several steps back in apprehension.
At the next moment, Xu Que’s eyes opened wide as he whispered,

"Fuse."
"Boom!"
Each palm carried a different type of fire as he forced them together,

ending with a clap. The minute his palms touched each other, a loud
roar like that of thunder could be heard, shaking the ground be neath
their feet.
"Not good!"
"Stop it! Are you crazy?!"
"The fires are of different elements. How could you fuse them? That
would be akin to combining ice and fire."
"If you don’t stop now, even you would die here!"
The several Elders were screaming out, their faces were full of fear.
They stood by the side, watching as Xu Que’s expression took a

complete change. It was exactly the same as watching a crazy person. A
completely crazy person who had gone berserk!
Zhang Dan Shan’s pupils dilated as he raised a large palm up before

him. Instantly, a screen of light formed between himself and Xu Que. It
almost seemed as though he had expanded more than half of his entire
core pool to create this barrier to protect himself and his sect members.
At the same time, he was still shouting out in rage, "Xu Qu! I’m ordering
you to stop. There’s no need to go to this extent and kill everyone
present!"
Clearly, Xu Que didn’t stop at all. In fact, there was no way he could’ve
stopped even if he wanted to.
He was clear to anyone else when it came to the strength and might of
the Fiery Lotus.
Today, Sun Jue Li, the old hag would die for sure!
Boom!
The pair of fires swirled around his entire hands, green and white had
fused together. It was an extremely queer and eerie sight to behold. The
pair of powerful elements were repeatedly gelling against each other
and looked as if it could blow his hands apart any moment.
Xu Que’s fingers were moving much faster like he was kneading or

plucking leaves from a tree. The fires were getting increasingly stronger
and moved faster along with Xu Que’s frenzied fingers.
Within the space of several breaths, under all their watchful eyes, that
fire started to transform into a greenish white lotus which was the size of
his palms.
It looked like a lotus which had just bloomed in spring as it rotated

quietly around Xu Que’s palms and looked extraordinary.
"Buddha’s Fiery Lotus, explode!"
"Old woman, it’s time to die to atone for the deaths of the villagers!"
Xu Que shouted out manically as he flung his hands, causing the

greenish white fiery lotus to pelt away from his hands. It floated in the
air strangely before being catapulted towards Zhang Dan Shan and Sun
Jue Li who stood behind him.
"Stop it!" Zhang Dan Shan looked extremel y fearful as he shouted out.
"No!!!" Sun Jue Li was horrified as the hairs on every inch of her body
were raised. She let out a huge shriek!
Soon after, the peaceful looking fiery lotus exploded right in front of
Zhang Dan Shan and the old hag.
36 Terrifying Strength
Chapter 36: Terrifying Strength

"Boom doom!"
The huge stronghold belonging to Celestial Sect echoed with a loud

boom as the ground beneath shook violently.
A greenish white flame engulfed the air and wrecked the earth, causing
flaming ripples to scatter all around, inducing widespread damage.
The red roofed buildings within several kilometers radius were all
destroyed and razed down to the ground.
Cracks started forming all over the white washed pavements and roads
making numerous potholes.
Zhang Dan Shan and the old woman were at the forefront of the impact,
right at the heart of the lotus’ explosion and took the most damage out
of everyone present.
The old woman’s entire face contorted in agony as she wailed out in
pain before exploding into a mist of blood and gore. Within seconds,
even the blood turned into ashes due to the e xtremely high heat as she
disintegrated into nothingness and her spirit scattered away from her
physical body.
The protective shield in front of Zhang Dan Shan cracked and shattered
as he was thrown into the air from the impact and collided heavily into a
mountain some distance away.
Several Sect Elders standing around were also blasted away from the
impact and were thrown into the ruins behind them. When they landed,
they spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood, due to severe internal injuries.
The only survivors were those Celestial Sect disciples who were
standing behind Xu Que.
They stood quite some distance away from the impact and also had
another protective shield casted by Zhang Dan Shan before the
explosion. This group of people sustained only superfi cial injuries. They
didn’t die but were thrown onto the ground as they screamed out in pain
and fear.
Tang Xue Rou was one of the few who were standing behind Xu Que
and had a clear view of the explosion. She watched on in a daze as
everything unfolded before her eyes.
The magnificent and splendid impression of Celestial Sect had been

reduced to ashes and ruin.
Her master who she revered and respected disintegrated in front of her
as Xu Que vanquished her effortlessly.
Even the well respected and adored Sect Leader Zhang had also been
impacted greatly by the force of the explosion.
The entire explosion and its devastating effects spanned no more than
several breaths from start to end and was so shocking, making it hard
for anyone to believe that it actually happened.


"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing an

Original Infant Stage cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points
and a storage ring!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully destroying more

than 50% of the Celestial Sect’s infrastructures and buildings, causing
widespread destructions to the foundations of the sect. The reward is
1,000,000 experience points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for gaining 4 consecutive levels.

You are currently of the Golden Core Stage, level 1!"
Xu Que ignored the notifications and beeps which rang out in his head.
He watched on intently as the old hag burned to death before his e yes
by Buddha’s Fiery Lotus and laughed out wretchedly.
That indescribable feeling of hatred and anger deep down within his
heart had been entirely vented out on that old woman!
He reared his head back and gave out a loud laughter.
"Xiao Rou, did you see that?"
"Village chief, did you see that?"
"Da Zhuang, did you see that?"
"Fellow villagers, did all of you see that?"

"The mastermind and culprit which plotted your deaths… This black
hearted crazy old woman, I’ve killed her for you!"
"I’ve avenged your deaths!"
...
The greenish white flames were still burning brightly as the Celestial
Sect disciples around him screamed out in pain.
Amidst the clamour and din, Xu Que’s vision turned blurry as tears
welled up within his eyes.
All those kind-hearted and friendly villagers, their innocent way of life
and their naive smiles seemed to appear before his eyes once more.
He could see Xiao Rou smiling sweetly at him!
He could see all the villagers carrying their hoes to plough the land
happily!
He watched them for a long time until the smoke and fire had vanished
as they disappeared before his eyes.
Xu Que then snapped out from his daze like being awoken from a
dream. At this moment, he felt a certain clarity in his heart!
It’s ended!
Everything had passed.
Gratitude, grudges, love and hatred are felt by all.
So what if they were mere naive mortals and normal people?
Do you think you’re a big deal just because you’re high and mighty
cultivators who dwell within the mountains?
In Xu Que’s eyes, Xiao Rou, the village chief, Da Zhuang and the rest of
the villagers were much more important and valuable than these evil
cultivators by a million times. Even by killing them a thousand times
over, it wouldn’t be able to make up for their losses.
Xu Que gazed down at the desolated and ruined domains of Celestial

Sect including all the dead and injured cultivators around him and felt no
regret. Looks like this acting tough wasn’t acting after all for I had to be
tough. So what if the Sect Leader was an Infant Transformation Stage
cultivator? Xu Que still managed to kill that old hag right before his
helpless eyes.
Vengeance had to be exacted. Besides, at this point, the most important

thing for Xu Que was to ascend in levels so that he could revive Xiao
Rou.
"Boom!"
In that instant, a large mountain from far away produced a loud crashing
sound.
Stones and pebbles were thrown high up into the sky as a shadow
emerged from beneath the debris. He had a furious look on his face as
he flew over the ruined Celestial Sect. It was the Sect Leader, Zhang
Dan Shan.
His long and white hair was messy and unkempt while the white robes
which he wore was torn and tattered.
The Sect Leader casted a glance at the ruins which used to be the
Celestial Sect he had built from scratch. He suppressed the deep and
intense anger within his heart.
His eyes were bloodshot as he roared out in fury.
"Little bastard, I’m going to kill you! I will kill you!"

Immeasurable anger welled up from within his heart, showing clearly
over his face and was as immense as a volcanic eruption or the heavy
tidal waves of the sea as it poured out over at Xu Que.
When an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator was this angry, a

hundred thousand bodies will be scattered and the blood which was spilt
could form a sea!
Xu Que looked up at him and spoke, "From the time Pan Shan Village
was thoroughly obliterated to the time you devised a thousand ways to
keep Sun Jue Li safe, you should’ve anticipated such an ending! You’ve
always appeared kind and polite to me but that was all because of the
fear you had for my ‘master’. Let me tell you Zhang Dan Shan. I, Xu
Que, will never rely on anyone but my own capabilities. In other words, I
come and go as I please. I kill anyone I please and I shall leave when I
feel like it! Haha! The next time we meet, you shall see how I will claim
your dog of a life!"
As soon as he spoke this, he retrieved the Escape Emblem from within

the inventory.
With a whoosh, he disappeared completely from where he stood and not

a shadow remained of him.
...
On this day, Celestial Sect suffered heavy casualties and their strength
and reputation diminished considerably. Not only did an important
member of their sect, who was of the Original Infant Stage die, most of
the disciples and Sect Elders sustained injuries as well. Most of their
buildings and infrastructure had been damaged and the entire area was
now nothing more than ruins.
Following Xu Que’s disappearance, the enraged Zhang Dan Shan

seemed to have gone into a crazed frenzy as he tried different ways to
track and hunt him down for revenge.
However, he never managed to locate Xu Que’s whereabouts. In fact, he

never even managed to get a whiff or a hint of him.
"Damn it! Damn it! This is the biggest humiliation and insult to Celes tial
Sect’s 5,000 years of history. The biggest insult!"
An Infant Transformation Stage Sect Leader actually allowed this mere

junior Xu Que to destroy everything under his nose. Even his entire Sect
had been turned to ruins with nothing left standing. Right at the end, he
even allowed Xu Que to escape through his fingers.
This defeat and humiliation, Zhang Dan Shan wouldn’t be able to

swallow even if it took him 1,000 years to get over it. However, he had
no outlet to vent his anger and frustration for Xu Que couldn’t be found
at all.
Xu Que was long gone now, more than a thousand kilometers away.
Since the day at Celestial Sect’s stronghold, Xu Que was teleported to a

desolate mountain far away. He instantly changed into Xiao Yan’s black
robes and carried his dark buster sword. Anytime he wore the black
robes, he would change physical form and was exactly like he had
transformed into someone else. Even if he were to stand in front of
Zhang Dan Shan in this form, he would not be recognized.
In order to get to the full foundation of the Golden Core Stage and
revive Xiao Rou, Xu Que had been working very hard to attain the level.
The minute he stepped into the forests, he never came back out.
The next few consecutive days, he kept pressing onwards, deeper into
the forests.
The entire journey saw him kill numerous wild beasts and obtaining tons
of experience points. From the little thousand experience points he had,
he killed his way until he had more a couple of hundred thousand
experience points. He was accumulating them bit by bit, ascending the
levels little by little.
Whenever he was tired, he would sleep in the open wilderness with the
skies as his blanket and the earth as his mattress. Whenever he was
awake, he would continue his killing of wild bea sts for experience
points.
All the way until half a month later, Xu Que entered a miasma laden
forest and met a demonic beast which could speak human language!
The demonic beast took the shape of a gigantic, ugly looking green frog.
It had a pair of huge lantern looking eyes bulging out of its face and was
emitting a foul smell. Numerous insects were crawling all over its body.
What made it stranger was that this frog had a large boil over its head
and was dripping out yellow pus from it. It was a dis gusting sight to
behold.
This very same gigantic frog leapt out and blocked Xu Que’s path as it
spoke his language, "Look, a meal offers itself up for me. It’s a pity
you’re so skinny and won’t be enough to fill my belly."
Xu Que paused for a second, stumped before forcing a laugh. "I never
expected to meet a speaking beast even after coming to this strange
world. In fact, I never imagined speaking to something as ugly and
repulsive."
Within the memories in his head, he knew that the beasts needed to
cultivate up to the full foundation of Golden Core Stage and survive for
the next 49 days. After they enter the Original Infant Stage, they would
then be given intelligence and wisdom and be able to speak human
language.
Once the beast reached the Original Infant Stage and survived in that
form for another 59 days, it would transcend to the Infant
Transformation Stage where it can take the form of a human being.
Clearly, this frog was of the Original Infant Stage and its powers aren’t
weak.
"Gugu... weak little human, you dare to say your grandpa frog is ugly?
You’re looking to die!" The frog lashed out in anger as its tongue jabbed
out like as sword, darting straight for Xu Que.
Xu Que instantly summoned his Lightning Haste spell and dodged the
attack before laughing out. "You even have a boil on the top of your
head. How can you insist you’re not ugly?"
"You’re asking to die!" The frog was incensed. A Golden Core Stage
human was mocking him. That was clearly a humiliation.
It closed his mouth and took a deep breath through its nostrils, sucking
in all the Qi from its surroundings, entering its body. This caused its
body to increase rapidly in size.
Xu Que muttered some vulgarities under his breath and knew that this
spelt trouble. This damned froggy was using a powerful spell.
He hurriedly rode atop his Lightning Haste and flew up high towards the
sky and transformed into his Soaring Dragons Nine Transformation skill,
causing his strength to increase by nine folds.
"Boom!"
At the exact same time, that frog leapt up from the ground like a bullet
and charged up into the sky towards Xu Que in its round and fattened
state.
"Haha! Good move. Eat this!"
Xu Que laughed out before slashing his dark buster sword down while
casting the Flame Devouring Spell. Along with the nine fold increase in
powers, he smacked the frog hard on the top of its head.
37 I Suggest All Of You Attack Together

Chapter 37: I Suggest All Of You Attack Together

"Pow!"
The dark buster sword which weighed several hundred pounds landed
hard on the frog’s head causing his entire face to contort.
That huge frog body started free falling towards the ground!
Boom!
A large crater formed where the frog landed as sand and dust flew up
high into the air.
This attack was extremely severe. Not only did it bear the fu ll force of
the maxed out Flame Devouring Wave, it also had the nine fold increase
in strength from the Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformation. It caused
extremely severe injuries to the frog.
The Original Infant Stage demonic beast remained lying on the gr ound
and didn’t get up.
Xu Que paused for a second followed by his uncontrollable laughter.
He didn’t receive any beeps from the system which indicated that the
frog hasn’t died yet. It was most likely just passed out. Hence, there was
no movement from it.
This frog was of the Original Infant Stage which meant that it was worth
more than 100,000 experience points. How could he just let it off like
that?
At this point, Xu Que rode atop his bolt of lightning, ready to return to
the ground and snuff the life of the frog out.
Meanwhile, several shadows emerged from the forest.The shadows held
onto bows and spears. They didn’t even speak as they advanced
towards the passed out frog and started giving it a severe thrashing.
Xu Que opened his eyes wide.
Hey, hey, hey!
Damn me! What the hell is going on?
Were they trying to steal my kill?"
"Stop it, stop it! Let me take the final attack and kill it!" Xu Que shouted
out loudly and descended from the sky.
However, those few people completely ignored Xu Que. Instead, a pair

of archers turned around and faced Xu Que as they nocked their bows
and released several arrows towards him, all the while maintaining a
stoic expression.
Shiu! Shiu!
At the same time, a pair of cold steel arrows darted in the air and made
a whooshing sound as it soared threateningly towards Xu Que.
Shit! Where did these bloody bandits come from! If you wanted to steal
my kill, fine. But you even wanted to kill me? Fuck all of you.
Xu Que was enraged.
Gripping his Dark Buster Sword, he displayed the Six Corporeal Forms
skill causing his buster sword to move quickly in a blur. In addition to his
now blurry form, he charged towards the pair or archers.
Their faces fell as they retreated hurriedly. At the same time, they
shouted out to their accomplices, "Ignore the three eyed poisoned frog.
This kid isn’t easy. Settle him first before we decide what to do."
The few of them listened to the instructions and hurriedly turned to Xu
Que in utter surprise of his skills.
A man held onto a sharp spear as he casted a glance at Xu Que and

spoke out, "Not easy huh? He’s a mere Golden Core Stage kid, why
can’t the both of you handle him?"
To his side, a man and woman charged towards Xu Que on their flying
swords as they laughed playfully.
"A mere level 1 Golden Core Stage cultivator dares to wander so deep
into the Withered Bones Forest. You really don't cherish life, do you?"
The pair of male archers and Xu Que exchanged several blows, their
faces were grave as they spoke out in fear, "Don’t unde restimate him.
He just exhibited several extremely complex and strange spells. Luckily,
we managed to dodge his blows just by the skin of our teeth. If not, we
would’ve been gravely hurt."
"Oh?" The three of them listened to his words and casted their gaz e at
Xu Que.
Xu Que looked at them plainly as he shook his head without speaking.
The 5 of them were all Golden Core Stage cultivators. The pair of
archers were in the 5th level of the Golden Core Stage. The man and
woman with the sword were level 6 and the man with the sharp spear
was level 8.
With such a formidable lineup, they would’ve been a powerful and

intimidating group of cultivators to cross.
However, Xu Que saw only them as 5 weak chickens.
He lifted his buster sword and placed it atop his shoulders and spoke
out, "I was the one who knocked out the three eyed poisonous frog. The
rest of you came here without saying anything and wanted to take
advantage of me. How can I let this go? Aside from you trying to kill me
as well?"
The 5 of them listened to him speak and paused for a second before
bursting out into intense laughter.
"You knocked it out? Hahaha! That’s hilarious."
"Kid, do you know what cultivation level that three eyed poison frog is
in? We chased it for 7 days and 7 nights without daring to make a move
on it. Today, it probably ate something wrong and fainted as a result and
you dare to say it was you who knocked it out? You were clearly just
boasting to the wrong people."
"Besides, so what if we killed you? This is Withered Bones Forest. Even

if you came from a big and powerful origins, you are nothing but a
chicken waiting to be slaughtered here."
Xu Que laughed out, "According to your words, does that mean I can kill
you too? Fine, let’s discuss. Do you wish to battle me alon e or together?
I suggest all of you attack together so that we don’t waste too much of
my time. Besides, my time is very precious."

The reward is 20 acting tough points!"|
The system rang out in his head to announce his success and reward.
The group of 5 paused again in shock at his big words. Their mouths
were wide open like fools before they burst out in laughter again.
"Haha! I didn’t hear wrongly did I? Did this kid asked us to a ttack him all
together?"
"Heheh… Kid, please don’t assume that just because you’ve learnt some
mystical spells, you are unrivalled in this world."
"Take a good look around. You are just level 1 of the Golden Core
Stage. All of us can kill you effortlessly alone."
"People who think too highly of themselves will always meet their dooms
sooner rather than later. Clearly, your time to die isn’t very far away!"
As he finished speaking, the few of them had mocking looks on their

faces as it turned to cold laughter as they began their assault.
Xu Que’s eyes squinted as he laughed coldly as well, "Don’t worry. For

someone as modest as myself, my death date is still very far away.
However, for the rest of you, you already have one feet into the realms
of the dead."
"Haha! What a sharp tongue you have. What an ignorant fool!"
The man wielding the spear gave a laugh. He already assumed that Xu
Que was just a big blabbering fool and waved his hands in annoyance.
"Don’t speak to him anymore. Hurry and kill him off. Then when we
return to the cave, we can use his body as a bait."
"Good!"
The man and woman duo acknowledged before casting their spells.
Their flying swords flew up into the sky and circled around their heads
before conjuring a flaming ring which hovere d just above them.
They both pointed to Xu Que in unison as the burning ring flew towards
Xu Que.
The pair of archers took several steps back in order to gain some
distance. They summoned their core energy to their hands and started
firing arrows at Xu Que in a fluid motion.
"Ai, don’t be so impatient. Can’t you allow me some more time to act
tough before we start fighting?" Xu Que bemoaned regretfully before he
executed his Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformation and Lightning Haste
as he flew high up into the sky.
With the additional strength boost of nine folds, he clutched onto his
Dark Buster Sword, conjured the Flame Devouring Wave and then he
charged straight down towards them.
Boom!
In that instant, a formless wave of immense energy descended from the

skies causing the ring of fire to disperse. The minute the immense wave
of energy landed onto the ground, it spread across all directions,
causing a huge shockwave, chasing down the man and woman duo.
Pu! Pu!
A pair of dull thuds rang out as the duo were thrown into the air from the
impact and collided heavily with a tree, some distance away. Their
bodies were thrown with such force that it left a deep imprint onto the
tree.
"Senior brother!"
"Senior sister!"
The pair of archers screamed out in horror as they each released an

arrow towards Xu Que and dashed towards the tree.
The man wielding the spear had an ashen look as he casts a glance
towards Xu Que, his expression now one of fear and shock.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for succes sfully killing a Golden
Core Stage cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a
golden core!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing a Golden

golden Core!"
Following the beeps which rang out in his head, Xu Que was sure that
the duo of man and woman had died. He hurriedly activated the
Lightning Haste skill and dodged the pair of arrows which whistled
towards him. He then held onto his Dark Buster Swo rd and charged
down the remaining members.
The pair of archers wanted to examine the wounds of their fallen

partners. Even before they could reach, they were obstructed by Xu
Que.
"Are you looking for death!?" The pair of them spoke out furiously
through gritted teeth as they nocked another arrow.
However, their speeds couldn’t match up to Xu Que’s at all. As soon as

their arrows touched their bows, even before they could release it, they
saw the buster sword sweeping towards their heads.
The both of them froze in shock!
"Stop it!" The man wielding the spear shouted out.
"Stop your mother!" Xu Que laughed out loud as his buster sword landed
down heavily, decapitating their heads.
Pu! Pu!
The pair of archers fell to the ground as their heads rolled of f their
bodies.

golden core!"

golden core!"
cultivation level is Golden Core Stage level 2!"
Killing these 4 Golden Core Stage cultivators along with the wild beasts
he had been killing this last half a month caused Xu Que to gain another
level!
"You’re dead meat. You dare to kill my Blood River Sect brothers.
You’re finished. I shall remember you." The man wielding the spear
stopped in his tracks and glared at Xu Que in rage.
At the same time, he tossed his spear and leapt down onto it as he
transformed into a beam of light and soared towards the sky intending to
escape.
"Blood River Sect huh? Fine, I shall remember that too! But don’t you
think of escaping."
Xu Que gave a laugh as he used his Lightning Haste spell. With a blur
of his shadow, he chased in hot pursuit. In the span of several breaths,
he appeared right before him.
"Wh-What?" The man’s eyes gaped wide open in fear.
38 More Experience Points For Me
Chapter 38: More Experience Points For Me

"Pow!"
He raised his hands before allowing the buster sword to descend upon
the man.
The man atop the flying spear was decapitated instantly. His face
maintained an expression of fear in death as his lower body was still
floating atop the flying spear.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for kill ing a Golden Core Stage
cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core!"
As the system beeped and announced the reward to Xu Que. He then

extended a hand and grabbed onto the fallen man’s knife. He scrutinized
it before chucking it within the inventory space within the system.
He then slowly returned to the ground and started picking up the items
left behind by the dead group of people. He picked up the bows, arrows
and even flying swords and placed them into the system’s inventory.
Soon after, he collected their golden cores and placed them within the
system as well. Each golden core could be traded for 50,000 experience
points and were extremely useful to Xu Que!
"Ding! Used up 5 golden cores. You’ve received 250,000 experience

points!"
After finishing up, Xu Que then walked over to the ugly frog’s side.
According to the five of them, this frog was called Three Eyed
Poisonous Toad. The third eye was probably referring to that abscess
atop its head!
Xu Que thought for a while before walking up to it. He then retrieved the
sword and stabbed it down into its brains from atop!

Stage demonic beast. The reward is 200,000 experience points and
random loots. Would you like to take a look?"
cultivation level is Golden Core Stage level 3!"
Eh? Random loots as a reward?
Xu Que was stunned as he nodded his head, "Let me see!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for acquiring a Three Star
Demonic Core!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for acquiring the fluid from the
poisonous toad!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for acquiring the tongue of the
poisonous toad!"
Following the system beeps, 3 flashes of light appeared within the

system as 3 new additions to the inventory could be seen.
[Three Star Demonic Core]: The core within a demonic beast which can
be made into medical ingredients or can be forged into weapons!
[Fluid from the Poisonous Toad]: The Three Eyed Poisonous Toad
contained a very powerful fluid which can be made into medical
ingredients or can be smeared onto the edge of your blade. Anyone who
gets cut by the blade will feel the full effects of the poison which
includes severe hallucinations and deep paralysis!
[Tongue of the Poisonous Toad]: The body part used by the Three Eyed
Poisonous Toad to catch its prey. It’s extremely tough and durable and
can be forged into weapons!
"Damn. Every single part of this beast was something valuable!"
After looking at the descriptions of the 3 items, Xu Que was extremely

satisfied.
When it came to killing Original Infant Stage cultivators, it was clear that
killing a demonic beast of the same stage was more worth it in terms of
rewards!
He then shut the inventory space of the system before accessing his
own personal stats.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Level: Golden Core Stage Level 3 (Close to Perfection)
Experience Points: 0/500000 Points
Skill Path: Intermediate Stage

Haste (Maximum); Troop - Secret Character (10% progress); Flame -
Devouring Wave (Maximum); Six Corporeal Forms (Maximum); Buddha’s
Fiery Lotus (30% progress)
Mystical Fires: Molten Green Lotus, Bone Freezing Fires
Essence: Skill Essences (30 points)
Occupation: None
Status : Prince Consort of the Eastern Fire Country
After fighting it out at Celestial Sect and this half a month of killing, he
had already made huge progress in his cultivation level. Even the
system has changed its comments from "Clear Understanding" to "Close
to Perfection"!
With regards to the cultivation level, he attained the level 3 of Golden

Core Stage and is not far away from the full foundation which was level
10. The most important thing at this point was that he had 680 acting
tough points!
This had broken past his all time high record and was also the richest he
had ever been!
Xu Que recalled clearly how the battle at Celestial Sect had contributed
greatly to his wealth. Especially after destroying the infrastructures and
buildings, the system rewarded him with 100 acting tough points.
He then realized that as long as there was an Infant Transformation

Stage person as the leader of an area, Xu Que would be deemed to be
inferior compared to him by the system. Hence, whatever damage he
dealt to the person’s stronghold would be rewarded with additional
points.
This was why when he wrecked the entire Fallen Spirits Sect, he didn ’t
get any rewards. To the system, Xu Que was deemed as stronger and
thus no rewards would be granted!
Xu Que definitely wouldn’t intentionally seek out Infant Transformation

Stage leaders to mess around just to earn acting tough points. His main
principle was extremely simple. He wouldn’t cross people if they didn’t
cross him. When someone crossed him, he would be sure to kill every
living person related to him.
An example would be the group of 5 people from Blood River Sect.
Just by hearing this name, Xu Que knew that nothing good can come
from them. In fact, since they were sly, crafty and experienced, it was
clear that it wasn’t the first time they were stealing slain beasts from
others before killing them.
Xu Que felt that if he ever had the chance to meet more of these evil
Blood River Sect members, he would certainly harm them… Oh no, he
would certainly protect the innocent by getting rid of the Blood River
Sect members!
After handling all the matters regarding the system, Xu Que went on his
way once more.
After getting handsomely rewarded for killing the Three Eyed Poisonous
toad, he decided to spend more time here in the Withered Bones Forest
and wait for those ugly looking demonic beasts to deliver themselves up
for him to kill for they would give insane amounts of experience. He
would then ascend rapidly in level and be able to upgrade the acting
tough system and revive Xiao Rou!
Besides, Withered Bones Forest was the playground and breeding

ground for many of these demonic beasts. After walki ng for only a short
while, he met with another Original Infant Stage wild beast.
However this time, it was a dark Blood Python. It was being cornered by
several cultivators within a swampy area.
It was spitting words from its slit of a mouth as it spoke coldly, "You
bunch of weak humans, how dare you interrupt my cultivation. Are you
sick of living?"
The few cultivators were dressed in daoist robes. There were 3 men and
3 women, their flying swords soaring around in the air. Killing intent
radiated out from everyone.
A pretty looking woman then shouted out, "You bastard of a beast! A few
days ago, my senior sister came around here to pick some medicinal
herbs. She didn’t offend you and yet you killed her!"
"Also last month, my junior brother was infecte d by your poison and is in
critical condition. I shall take revenge for them today."
The minute the python heard this, it burst out in laughter, "Haha! You
can only blame them for having poor luck for meeting me out here and
becoming a meal for me. Since I see some food, why shouldn’t I eat
them? Come to think of it. The little girl which I ate some days back had
such soft and smooth skin. It felt good in my mouth."
"Damn it, you bastard. To hell with you! I shall take your demonic core
and heal my junior brother from the poison he sustained!" The few of
them roared out in anger as they floated about atop their flying swords.
Then they conjured spells before charging down upon the Blood Python.
This Blood Python’s strength and powers were not weak at all. Although
it had a big body, it was not hindered in terms of speed and was
extremely agile and sly.
The six men and women attacked it from all directions, using different
spells but were dodged by it effortlessly. From time to time, it would
spray out red poisonous mist, causing the six of them to retreat in fear.
The fight eventually reached the climax!
Xu Que however watched on in extreme boredom as he yawned

repeatedly.
The six cultivators were all of the Golden Core Stage and were around
level 7 or 8. The Blood Python was of the Original Infant Stage.
According to logic, this Blood Python shouldn’t have any problems

defeating all of them. However, it was extremely strange that the
python’s movement seemed to be heavily restricted. It seemed to remai n
within the swamps and refused to leave. As a result, it was surrounded
by all 6 cultivators.
That didn’t make sense and the Blood Python didn’t seem to be foolish
as well. Why was this happening?
Xu Que started becoming suspicious. He then recalled back to his

previous life when he was reading several comics. All of a sudden, an
idea came into his mind as his eyes lit up.
According to whatever he saw, it was extremely possible that the Blood

Python was protecting some sort of a treasure. It was afraid that if it
came out, it would be stolen away by those men.
"Oooh… that’s interesting! Looks like it’s time for me to make an

appearance!" Just thinking of this, Xu Que smiled to himself. He decided
to stop hiding and reveal himself in a bid to act tough.
The minute he decided to stepped out, more than 10 shadows emerged

from the thick forest and descended upon the swamps.
The 6 cultivators in daoist robes gazed curiously at the ten shadows and
were alarmed. After some moments, it seemed like they all rea ched an
understanding of what was happening.
A tall and big sized man stood out from the ten shadows as he looked at
the group of six and spoke out, "This place has been surrounded by us
from Blood River Sect. The few of you, drop your weapons and spirit
stones, then get lost!"
Damn it, Blood River Sect?
Great! More experience points for me!
Xu Que remained in hiding and was elated beyond words.
39 Looks Like I’ve Met My Match When It Comes To

Acting Tough
Chapter 39: Looks Like I’ve Met My Match When It Comes To Acting
Tough
Whoosh!
Seeing so many people appear, the Blood Python contorted its body and
slithered down into the depths of the swamp.
The 6 cultivators who were floating in the air no longer felt like pursuing
after the Blood Python. Their faces fell as if they had an immense fear
for the Blood River Sect.
One of the men hesitated for several breaths and gave an unsure look
before speaking out, "We… We are disciples from Great Change Sect..."
"Didn’t you hear a word I said? Leave your weapons and spirit stones
and then get lost. I shall not repeat myself a third time. Do you
understand?" The tall and big sized man interrupted him straight away,
his tone was extremely unsympathetic.
"..."
The nervous looking man looked towards his 5 other companions for
help before eventually sighing and responding softly, "Let’s leave our
weapons and spirit stones down."
When he finished, he then threw the sword in his hands down to the
ground before unstrapping a bag from his waist and placing it down as
well.
The other 5 companions looked at him and gritted their teeths as they
followed suit.
"Guadang! Guadang!" The few of them threw their flying swords and
bags down onto the ground with a clang.
The 6 of them looked extremely unhappy as they walked away.
"Wait a minute, I asked you to get lost and scram. I didn’t allow you to
walk away." At that moment, the big sized man shouted out coldly.
The entire group of them paused, deep hatred could be seen from their
eyes.
The pretty and sweet looking girl in the group looked up at the burly
sized man and spoke out softy, "Master Song, please don’t go
overboard! Although our Great Change Sect has declined over the
years, you must not humiliate us to this extent."
"Hehe... I was actually in a good mood and allowed you to escape here
without getting hurt but you didn’t cherish that opportunity. Since you
don’t want to scram and get lost, then you would have to die here."
Master Song laughed out loud as certain coldness radiated from his
eyes.
As soon as he waved a hand, they were immediately surrounded by
more than 10 other people.
The 6 Great Change Sect disciples turned pale.
Xu Que was still hiding some distance away and could see clearly
everything that was happening.
He was thinking to himself, "Looks like that Master Song was good with
acting tough and being a prick too. Besides, he looked like he was doing
fine acting tough."
These Blood River Sect were rather prestigious and renowned around
the area. Although they were all Golden Core Stage cultivators, as soon
as they heard his command, all of them obeyed and dropped their
weapons and spirit stones.
Oooh... looks like I have to show myself now!
At this point, Xu Que patted his own black robes before placing his Dark
Buster Sword across his shoulders and started whistling to himself,
while taking big strides towards them.
"Who’s that?" The Blood River Sect disciples heard some movement and
turned around immediately as they whispered among themselves.
Xu Que’s eyes were squinted as he gave a loud laughter. He then raised

his Dark Buster Sword and pointed it at everyone else before shouting
out loudly, "Everyone don’t move! This is a robbery! All the men stand
on the right side and the women on the left! Hand me all your
belongings! Hurry!"
Rob-Robbery?
All the cultivators present were astonished.

Within this Withered Bones Forest there were o nly the Blood River Sect
who would rob from others. Nobody has ever robbed from them before.
Besides, this person was alone.
Great Change Sect disciples looked dumbstruck as well and paused to

look at Xu Que. When they realized that Xu Que was only of the Golden
Core Stage level 3, they almost passed out.
Big brother, even if you wanted to rob, can you be more professional
about it? Bring more people to help you! Can’t you see that even the 6
of us have to obediently surrender?
Besides, you’re only a Golden Core Stage cultivator, level 3. What do

you think you can do?!
"What are you staring at? The entire area has already been surrounded
by me. Hurry and take out your valuables and hand them over. After
that’s done, scram and get lost. I shall not repeat myself a third time!"
Xu Que spoke as if he took a book out of Master Song’s words as he
shouted out.
The Blood River Sect disciples all had strange looks on their faces.
The leader Master Song’s expression turned cold as he smiled at Xu

Que, killing intent radiated out from his eyes.
The 6 of them from Great Change Sect opened their eyes wide and
looked at Xu Que as if they were looking at a crazy person.
A mere level 3 Golden Core Stage junior cultivator robbing an entire

group of level 7 and level 8 Golden Core Stage cultivators?
My god. They’ve seen many people who didn’t want to live anymore but
they’ve never seen someone giving up their lives so easily for slaughter
like this!
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough .

The reward is 30 acting tough points!" The system rang out in his head,
causing Xu Que to be filled with smiles.
"Break his bones and flay his skin off his body then feed the remains to
the dogs!"
Master Song waved a hand and instructed his subordinate s before

casting his glance into the swamp in front of them. He didn’t bother
about Xu Que and the other 6 Great Change Sect disciples anymore.
Xu Que sucked in a breath of cold, fresh air.
Ssssss, how could this damned idiot act tough so well? He even ignored
the enemy standing right in front of him? Looks like I’ve met my match
when it comes to acting tough.
Is that all?
Xu Que was extremely dissatisfied as he pursed his lips and withdrew a

sharp spear, a pair of flying swords and a pair of long bows from the
system inventory.
He then threw it down with a loud clang before speaking out, "I met with
5 blind idiots on the way here and they professed to be Blood River Sect
disciples. Guess what happened after that? We, the Exploding Heavens
Faction killed them instantly."
"Eh? This person has a storage ring on him!" The Blood River Sect
disciples weren’t interested in his sharp pointed spear or his bows.
However, they casted their glance right at him, expressing greedy looks.
He clearly retrieved all these items out of thin air, which caused them to
presume that he had a storage ring on him.
Master Song directed his glance towards him and laughed coldly, "We
have many disciples in Blood River Sect. So what if 5 of them dies? As
for you little thing, you actually delivered yourself right to my doorstep."
"Why don’t you think to yourself, ‘how can a single person like myself,
dare to come all the way here?’. Let me tell you the truth. My Exploding
Heaven Faction already surrounded this area. If you are se nsible
enough, you should drop all your weapons and surrender." Xu Que
spoke out confidently as though he was assured and secure that his
backup would arrive any moment now.
Master Song puckered his eyebrows as everyone else paused in shock.

They then looked around trying to catch a glimpse of his surroundings.
"Exploding Heavens Faction? What kind of sect is that? Why haven’t I

heard about it before?"
"We aren’t really surrounded by them, are we?"
"Why isn’t there any movement at all? Is this kid tryin g to scare us?"
At the same time, the group of 6 Great Change Sect had a curious and
suspicious expressions on their faces as well.
One of the younger girls asked quietly, "Senior brother, senior sister,
what Sect is Exploding Heavens Faction from?"
The few of them looked at each other before shaking their heads, "I’ve
never heard of it as well. Could it be a newly formed sect?"
"Possibly. Wind City has been thrown into a state of chaos of late and
many foreign cultivators established themselves with in the city. The
formation of new sects was rather common."
The girl then snuck a glance at Xu Que before asking, "Then… Are we
saved? But that person looks very strange. Even his weapons and spells
are strange…."
The few of them were thrown into hushed discussion as they

occasionally glanced at Xu Que, each with their own thoughts formed of
him.
…
At this point, a big sized man from Blood River Sect walked out and
glared at Xu Que, "Hey kid, where on earth do you came from? You dare
to mess with us Blood River Sect. Are you sick of living?"
Xu Que glared back at him and scolded him, "Why should I care about
your shit dog sect. You dare to mess with my Exploding Heaven Faction.
The ones who are tired of living are you."
"What sect does Exploding Heavens belong to?" The big man asked,
enraged.
Xu Que’s expression turned fierce, "You don’t even know of Exploding

Heaven Sect and you dare to come out and speak rubbish? Exploding
Heavens Faction is short for Violent Ruthless Cruel Cool Hanging
Exploding Heavens Faction!"
40 You Can’t Leave, Stay Here And Watch Me Act

Tough
Chapter 40: You Can’t Leave, Stay Here And Watch Me Act Tough
What ruthless? What cruel? What hanging exploding heavens faction?
What kind of stupid name is that?
Is there even such a sect?
Everyone was thrown into a moment of confusion as they looke d at each

other. Indeed, nobody knew what sect that was.
Only Master Song glared coldly at Xu Que and a faint smile could be
seen on his face.
"As for poking fun of our Blood River Sect, you’re the first!"
Poke fun?
The minute Master Song spoke out, everyone paused to listen before
they started to react.
"So that kid was trying to fool us!"
"Damn it, he’s looking to die!"
"Catch him! Let’s show him what cruel and ruthless really means!"
In that instant, even without needing Master Song to instruct them, the
Blood River Sect disciples rushed towards Xu Que with faces of evident
rage.
The 6 members of Great Change Sect were stunned as well. When they
first heard that Xu Que and his sect had cornered and surrounded the
area, they felt a glimmer of hope that they would be able to escape.
In the end, he was lying about it and was even caught lying.
The situation was hopeless!
The 6 disciples looked towards Xu Que fearfully as they picked up their

flying swords off the ground, ready to fight their way a longside Xu Que
should things get hostile soon.
Xu Que looked at them and gave a wry smile, "There's no need to help
me. I can manage alone."
Wanna steal the blood python away from me? Not a chance!
Xu Que grabbed onto his Dark Buster Sword and rushed towards the
Blood River Sect disciples as if he was afraid that they would snatch the
prized beast from him.
The 6 Great Change Sect disciples almost vomited blood.
Big brother, are you mentally deficient?
You're a mere level 3 of the Core Bearing Stage. How can you think that
you have a chance against them?
Indeed, for a moment, all 6 of them were astonished as they froze in

their places.
They watched on with gaping mouths as Xu Que transformed into a bolt

of lightning and charged straight towards the Blood River Sect disciples
fearlessly. With a wave of his Dark Buster Sword, he conjured a large
shadow which descended down upon them.
"Boom!"
A formless burst of energy exploded in the middle causing several Blood

River Sect disciples to be thrown off their feet from the impact of the
blast. Some of them were flung against nearby trees, while others
landed sprawled across the ground and laid still and motionless, clearly
dead.
The 6 of them from Great Change Sect were dumbfounded as their

faces were full of shock.
Just one move was able to do this?
He had dispatched 6 Blood River Sect disciples in a single move and

they were all level 8, Golden Core Stage cultivators!
How… How was this possible?
This kid was clearly a mere level 3 of the Golden Core Stage!
...
The remaining Blood River Sect members were shocked as well as their
mouths opened wide in fear. The way they looked at Xu Que took a
tremendous change. Their arrogant facial expressions gave way to that
of fear as though they were looking at a strange beast!
Master Song was shaken as well. He gawked at Xu Que, his eyes were
opened extremely wide.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing a Golden Core Stage
cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden core."
cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experienc e points and a golden core."
There were 6 continuous beeps which echoed in his head. His

experience points had already swelled up to 300,000 points. Just
200,000 more points before he could reach the next level!
Xu Que’s lips curled upwards as he shouted out an instruction in his

head, for the system to retrieve the golden cores.
"Ding! Consumed 6 golden cores. The reward is 300,000 experience

points!"
cultivation level is Golden Core Stage, level 4!"
"Haha! That’s great. Let’s continue!"
Xu Que laughed loudly as he held onto his Dark Buster Sword and
charged towards the remaining group of Blood River Sect cultivators
who had looks of fear and surprise etched across their faces . They were
standing still from shock and didn’t move an inch.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the very last moment, the group of Blood River Sect disciples
regained their senses and started conjuring different spells in a bid to
defend themselves but were still scared stiff.
Regardless of whatever spells or skills they casted, Xu Que swatted

them away like flies, not being affected by a single spell.
After their futile attempts to defend themselves were made apparent,

they stared right at the buster sword as it d escended down upon their
faces. At the next moment, everything turned black as they bade
farewell to this world.
To a supreme being, all these attempts to defend themselves were

pointless.
With a single stroke, he can overcome thousands of spells.
The group of Great Change Sect cultivators were wide -eyed, completely
astonished and somewhat fearful.
"He’s too strong. He must’ve been concealing his strengths from

everyone else!"
"That’s right. If you take a look at him, he’s just a cultivator in the
Golden Core Stage level four."
"He must be using some sort of concealing spell to hide his true
cultivation level and is probably masking his identity so as to not be
recognized. Could he be a senior cultivator, who’s at the Original Infant
Stage?"
"Based on his powers, it has to be!"
The 6 of them heaved a sigh of relief. No longer feeling like their lives
were in mortal danger.
Xu Que was killing the rest of the Blood River Sect happily as well. The
system was repeatedly beeping in his mind, informing him of the
rewards he had received!


cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience po ints and a golden core!"
...
cultivation level is Golden Core Stage, level 5!"
…
"Pow!"
At the very end, Xu Que slammed his Dark Buster Sword down onto the
ground, butt first. He then stood in the middle of the wreckage of dozens
of bodies. He then shouted out loudly, "Is there anyone else?"

The only person standing beside the swamp was Master Song and a pair
of Blood River Sect disciples.
The pair of disciples looked extremely pale as their lips quivered

slightly. Their faces were full of fear.
Master Song maintained a stoic expression a s he glared at Xu Que and

asked in a low voice, "Who… Who are you?"
"Hehe… I am upright and respectable everywhere with no cause to hide

my identity. My name is Xiao Yan and my nickname is Dugu Jiubai!" Xu
Que smiled, as his eyes squinted.
(T/N: Xiao Yan and Dugu Jiubai were fictitious characters which
appeared in Fight Break Spheres, a popular novel.)
"Xiao Yan?" Master Song hesitated for a moment as he searched his

memories before realizing he had never heard of that name. He then
asked, "Why do you have a feud and such intense dislike for my Blood
River Sect members?"
"Since when did I have a feud and dislike for you?"
"If that’s the case, then tell me what’s the meaning of this?" Master
Song then pointed to the rest of his fellow disciples who had died and
were on the ground and asked furiously.
Xu Que blinked several times before laughing meekly, "Didn’t I tell you
already? I’m robbing all of you. Sustaining casualties during robberies
are very common!"
"..." Master Song felt an ache in his chest as if he was on the verge of
vomiting blood.
The 3 female disciples from Great Change Sect couldn’t help but to
giggle out loud. This mysterious "senior" was too much!
The 3 male disciples were all trying to keep their mouths closed and had
a weird expressions on their faces.
The infamous Master Song was actually being bullied now. However wild
their imaginations were, this wasn’t even a possibility and yet it was
happening right before their very eyes. Should this matter be allowed to
spread, the entire Wind City would be in astonishment and disbelief!
The 6 of them were clicking their tongues in surprise, extremely shocked

at this recent turn of events.
Xu Que raised his head to look at the sky and realized that it was still
early. He then turned to Master Song and the other 2 disciples. "Eh, why
are there so few of you Blood River Sect disciples? Can’t you call more
people over? After All, the more the merrier right?"
"Pu!" Immediately after hearing this, the 3 male disciples from Great
Change Sect spat out saliva uncontrollably.
They didn’t spit out saliva from laughing but were stunned.
The few of them hurriedly spoke out, "Sen… Senior, how about we leave
it as that?"
"Yes, senior. We shouldn’t offend the Blood River Sect. Why don’t we
leave now while we still can?"
Xu Que turned around and glared at them, "Leave? What do you mean
leave? They’re just Blood River Sect. What’s so scary about them! The
rest of you aren’t allowed to leave as well. You have to stay here and
watch me act tough… Cough, no, I mean you have to watch how I teach
these guys a lesson."
The Great Change Sect disciples didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
We’re finished. We’re finished! At first we thought that we’ve met an

upright and honest senior. Looks like we’ve met a n insane person.
He had already killed so many Blood River Sect disciples. Instead of

running away, he even asked Master Song to call for reinforcements?
Why is there someone so dumb?
Don’t you know, Blood River Sect is controlled by 8 strong cultivators

who were of the Original Infant Stage?
41 I Shall Wait Here And Won’t Leave ‘Till We See

Each Other
Chapter 41: I Shall Wait Here And Won’t Leave ‘Till We See Each Other
Master Song clenched his fists as several veins bulged up on his

forearm. He maintained an ashen face as he laughed out angrily, "Fine!
Very well. Ever since the day Blood River Sect has been established ‘till
today, nobody has humiliated or insulted us. You are the first and shall
be the last."
"I didn’t humiliate you, did I? But it’s good that you’re angry. Hurry and
bring your reinforcements here. The more the merrier!" Xu Que’s eyes
glimmered as he spoke out.
After killing the entire group of Blood River Sect disciples, he had
already risen to level 5 of the Golden Core Stage. If more disciples from
Blood River Sect would show up— hopefully by the hundreds, he could
then kill them all and rush straight for the full foundation Golden Core
Stage.
"Very well. If you want a merrier and livelier scene, I shall show you
what it means to be merry! Wait here for me!" Master Song shouted out
in rage as he flicked his sleeves fiercely, taking his remaining two
disciples with him.
"Hold up. Not all of you can go. What if you don’t come back? Won’t I be
cheated then? You should stay here and ask your two juniors to go. That
should do it!" Xu Que beamed at him, giving the ‘I’m not dumb’ look.
However, those few Great Change Sect disciples almost fell flat on their
faces after hearing this.
Be cheated?
Senior, can you please stop joking around!?
How can you be afraid that they won’t return with more reinforcements?
Logically speaking, shouldn’t you be worried that these guys are from
Blood River Sect? You’ve offended Master Song and killed so many
disciples. Shouldn’t they be afraid that you would run away instead of
the other way round?
"You want me to stay? Hehe… You dare to make me stay?" M aster

Song started laughing out in anger as if he had heard an extremely
hilarious joke. He had an expression of mockery as he asked Xu Que,
"Do you know who I am?"
Xu Que rolled his eyes, revealing his eye whites, "Silly boy. Aren’t you
Master Song?"
Master Song cleared his throat, "The leader of Blood River Sect, Song
Yun Hai is my father. I am the young leader for the next generation of
Blood River Sect. Are you sure you want me to stay behind?"
"Young leader? So you are the young leader of Blood Rive r Sect?" Xu
Que heard this as his eyes lit up once more.
Master Song then laughed out coldly, "Looks like you’re not from Wind
City. Maybe you haven’t even been to Wind City? If not, you wouldn’t be
so bold to pit yourself against my Blood River Sect and make enemies
out of us. I shall give you a warning. Fall on your knees now and beg for
your life. I might let bygones be bygones."
Xu Que looked straight at Master Song as his lips curled into a smile
and he remained silent.
Master Song felt a chill ran down his spine and his scalps turned numb.
He then asked cautiously, "What are you trying to do?"
Xu Que shook his head and laughed out, "Nothing. I’m just thinking that
if I killed you— their young leader, will there be even more
reinforcements from Blood River Sect?"
The minute the words were spoken, everyone present froze.
They were all completely shocked!
Killing the young sect leader? Is… is this kid mad?"
The two disciples standing beside Master Song had looks of intense
fear.
The 6 disciples from Great Change Sect were terrified as well as they
shouted out anxiously, "Senior, please don't be rash!"
"Remain calm and rational! Please don’t kill him no matter what!"
"If you kill him, Blood River Sect will dispatch their full forces to chase
and kill you at all costs!"
"No, when that happens, every dark sect from Wind City will be hunting
for you."
When Xu Que heard this, he was elated, "Are you for real?"
"It’s true!" The 6 disciples of Great Change Sect all nodded their heads
enthusiastically.
"That’s fantastic!" Xu Que gave an elated shout of happiness before

stepping onto his bolt of lightning, his figure moved in a blur as he
charged straight for Master Song.
Master Song didn’t have any time to react. He was standing still at his
original spot, watching Xu Que. He saw him disappear before his very
eyes while a huge black shadow appeared in front of him as the Dark
Buster Sword became bigger as it got nearer to him.
Master Song’s eyes gaped wide open as he tried to protect his face from
the advancing Dark Buster Sword. His face was stricken with fear.
"No!!!"
The minute he screamed out in fear, Xu Que landed his Dark Buster
Sword with full force down on his head.
"Smack!" Master Song’s head was crushed into a mist of blood as his
body became headless and fell to the ground.
The pair of Blood River Sect disciples were so terrified that they
screamed out in horror. Their expressions were aghast, disbelieving of
whatever they had witnessed. The young leader had died right before
their eyes.
Even the 6 disciples of Great Change Sect were horrified. It took them a
long time to regain their initial composure.

golden core!"
The beeps rang out in Xu Que’s head as he revealed a contented smile

and kept his Dark Great Sword. He then walked straight towards the pair
of Blood River Sect disciples.
"Death is inevitable. Control your grief and accept your fate!" He patted
them both at the back in condolences.
The both of them were extremely stunned.
He… He killed our young leader and then came over to console us?
What’s he doing? What was he trying to do? This person is insane!
"Here, calm yourselves down and comfort yourselves. After you’re done,
go and call more people over. I shall wait here for you." Xu Que spoke
to them warmly and caringly before pulling them up to their feets. He
then warmly patted their robes down to get rid of the dusts on them.
The both of them were extremely stupefied, their minds were blank.
After Xu Que had urged them to the edge of the forest and chased them
away, they kept walking on like a pair of mindless walking meats. After
walking for several meters, they then reached a sudden realization.
When they turned their heads back, Xu Que was standing at the swamp
and waving to them warmly and even shouted out, "Safe jou rneys!
Please pay attention to your safety! Don’t trip and fall!."
"Oh right. Please watch out for demonic beasts too!"
"Hurry, return back and be sure to spread the news of whatever

happened to the rest of your Blood River Sect!"
"I shall wait here for you and won’t leave ‘till I see you again!"
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" The pair of them screamed out in fear as they ran as fast
as their legs could carry them.
They were extremely unsure if that man in black robes was crazy or
have they gone mad themselves and were hallucinating.
The 6 disciples of Great Change Sect opened their mouths as they

maintained a rigid and stoic expression. There was only one thought
going through their minds at this point, "We’re finished!"
Then they heard Xu Que instructing the p air of disciples to be safe and
to watch out for their safety. The 6 of them were so close to retrieving
their weapons to chase them down to kill them.
"Senior, you can’t let them go!"
"If they were to really bring the news to their sect, we are all beyo nd
saving!" The few of them counselled Xu Que.
Xu Que then waved them off, not paying attention to them, "Be calm.
The more people they send, the more people would die. There’s nothing
to be afraid of."
"But… This…."
"Yes, okay, yes, okay. No more buts. Let me ask you. Are there any
Infant Transformation Stage cultivators in Blood River Sect?"
"No, there aren’t." The few of them shook their heads before saying
impatiently, "But there are 8 Original Infant Stage cultivators in Blood
River Sect who control matters within the sect. Especially the Sect
Leader Song Yun Hai. He had already reached level 8 of the Original
Infant Stage and is the strongest person in Wind City. If we flee now,
there’s still a chance that we might survive!"
"I agree senior. We should head back to the city now. Since you’ve
rescued us, our Sect Leader would think of ways to let you escape and
survive.
Xu Que laughed out loud, "Please don’t worry. There’s no need to run.
As long as they’re in the Original Infant Stage, they’re all finished like
broken eggs!"
Eggs?
Damn it. We shouldn’t have spoken about that. The minute you
mentioned eggs, I realized how hungry I am!
Luckily, the sky still looks clear. Let’s prepare some good food to eat. If
not, where will I get the energy to fight?
Xu Que never took the Blood River Sect disciples as a threat to his
safety. At this point, he actually felt hungry as he rubbed his tummy. He
then turned to the 6 disciples of Great Change Sect, "Go fetch me some
firewood. Let’s take advantage of the fact that they aren’t here yet. Let’s
make some preparations!"
The few of them heard this and were immediately alert.
So it seems like this senior has a plan for us!
I knew it! Someone as mighty as this senior wouldn’t take his own life as
a joke.
Since he’s already killed the young leader of Blood River Sect, it means
that he has people backing him!
But what’s the point of the firewood?

Could it be that this senior wishes to prepare materials to cast a spell?
Yes, that must be it. This senior is fantastic!
The 6 of them started to feel confident as they rushed into the forest to
pick some firewood.
42 I Love Eating Louisiana Roasted Chicken
Chapter 42: I Love Eating Louisiana Roasted Chicken


"Eh?"
Looking at the six of them some distance away, the system’s beep
suddenly rang in Xu Que’s mind and he was immediately stunned.
Strange… When did I act tough?
All I did was ask them to gather some firewood. How was that acting
tough?
Xu Que shook his head doubtfully then without any further thought,
immediately called out to the system to consume the golden cores
acquired from the fallen disciples of Blood River Sect and Master Song.
"Ding! 10 golden cores consumed. 500,000 experi ence points gained!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully advancing to

Level 6 of the Golden Core Stage!"
At that same moment, a flow of Qi passed through Xu Que’s dantian and

he leveled up by one rank!
Level 6 of the Golden Core Stage Cultivator was only 4 levels away from
the final Level 10!
"Soon… Xiao Rou, very soon, I will have the solution to reviving you!" he
muttered softly as he stared at the altar within the cabinet.
After some time, he snapped back to reality and began taking a few
things out of the system’s inventory.
First was a clean cloth which he spread out on the floor. Soon after, a
few cleaned and plucked chicken wings appeared on the cloth, followed
by bottles and jars with words like "Chilli", "Soya Sauce" and " Pepper"
imprinted.
These condiments were all exchanged from the system’s department

store. The entire condiments set did not cost much, requiring merely a
little acting tough points!
As for the chicken wings, they were from the wild chickens Xu Que
caught while hunting in the forest previously. After having cooked for
himself so many times, his already good culinary skills improved by
leaps and bounds in the past half month.
However, now that there were only a few chicken wings left, Xu Que
began to hesitate.
Should I braise or fry them?
Oh yes! I shall try the Louisiana Roasted Wings!
Xu Que recalled the taste of the roasted wings he had in his previous
life and began to salivate.
At once, he took a metal bowl out of the system package and threw the
chicken wings in. He then added in various seasonings and began to
marinate the meat. When he was done, he sat down to rest with his legs
crossed and waited leisurely.
A moment later, the people from the Great Change Sect came back
sweating profusely, carrying a huge stack of firewood.
"Se… Senior, are… are these enough?"
"Enough, enough. There is no need for so much. Sit down and I will
handle the rest." Xu Que said embarrassedly. It was just to start a fire.
Is there a need for so much firewood?
At his words, they left the firewood by the side and sat down to rest
while trying to check out how "senior" planned to cast his defensive
spells to protect them.
Immediately after sitting down, they were astonished to find that there
were… Chicken wings within the metal bowl?
What is going on?
The 6 of them looked at one another in dismay and bafflement.
Xu Que walked towards the firewood, bent down and began to pick out
the wood conscientiously.
Actually, to make roasted wings, one can use his core energy to heat up
the wings. However, the roasted wings would lack the unique charcoal
roasted taste!
That is why Xu Que got them to gather firewood. He was painstakingly

picking out the branches from the fruit trees as the charcoal from it were
the most fragrant which would allow him to make the most delicious and
authentic Louisiana roasted wings!
Pow!
After choosing the firewood, Xu Que threw them in at empty space then
he immediately waved his fingers, using his core energy to produce a
streak of fire directed at the wood.
Watching all these, the Great Change Sect disciples were utterly
confused.
Wasn’t he going to cast a protective screen with these firewood? Why

did he set these firewood on fire? Is this some kind of mysterious
ceremony?
They decided to remain silent and continue observing him.
Consequently, they watched Xu Que stride past them, heading directly

to the back and picking up the metal bowl filled with the chicken wings.
They all widened their eyes.
A metal wire mesh then appeared out of nowhere on Xu Que’s hand,

which he placed on top of the fire.
Next, he placed the chicken wings pair by pair onto the wire mesh.
"Sizzle!"
The sauces from the chicken dropped into the fire, letting out a little
sizzling sound!
"Oh, that’s right… This is the smell!" Xu Que went closer, took a deep
breath and showed an expression of intense satisfaction.
Some of the Great Change Sect disciples almost fainted!
So… So after all that, you simply wanted to roast chicken wings!
Senior, we are facing a powerful enemy! The Blood River Sect is closing
in on us and yet you have the mood to roast chicken wings?
They felt like they did not have room in their heads for this yet they were
overwhelmed with helplessness.
"Senior, didn’t you say we needed to prepar e? Why..."
"Yes. But you need to eat in order to have energy to kill your enemies.
Oh yes, do you take spicy? Would you prefer less spicy or medium
spicy? There’s also abnormally spicy!" Xu Que blinked at the 6 of them,
smiling.
Six of them: "..."
"This… Oh…" a pretty female disciple tried to say something but ended
up with a sigh.
She knew that whatever she said would be useless as this senior was a
strange and extremely stubborn man!
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tou gh.

Hearing the system’s beeps, Xu Que felt carefree. He began humming

while fanning the fire.
"I love chicken wings but your mom said you are going to die…" This
was the classic song from the late Stephen Chow’s movie "Flirting
Scholar"!
The Great Change Sect Disciples pursed their lips and could only sit in
one corner, flabbergasted.
The youngest female disciple held her head and looked at Xu Que
blankly, muttering, "Senior’s singing voice is actually quite nice. Except I
don’t quite understand the lyrics…"
...
Time started to go by.
The swamp only consisted of Xu Que’s singing and the occasional "pik
piak" sound from the fire.
Soon, a strong fragrance began to emanate from the chicken wings,

filling the noses of everyone present.
The Great Change Sect disciples immediately opened their eyes. Their
faces filled with amazement.
How fragrant! This unique, sweet fragrance is making us suddenly

hungry!
"Sizzle!"
Some of the chicken wings began to look juicy and crispy, emitting an
aroma that made one want to start eating immediately. Xu Que dipped a
small brush in some honey and began brushing onto the chicken wings.
The disciples were once again stunned.
"You can actually make chicken wings smell, look and taste this great?
Senior is really amazing!"
"Hush, hush... it’s merely some Louisiana roasted wings. When there is
time in future, I’ll treat you all to some spicy fried chicken and roasted
chicken burger and special sirloin steak…" Xu Que began to feel hungry
again as he spoke.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the swamp. The Blood
Python from before abruptly slithered out, excl aiming, "What’s this
smell? Why is it so fragrant?"
The disciples jumped up in shock. After realizing that it was the Blood
Python, they were furious and began drawing their swords to attack it.
Suddenly, a white coloured freezing fire shot out from Xu Que’s hands
and landed on the blood python’s body, causing the temperature around
to drop significantly.
In a split second, the Blood Python was enveloped by the white flames
and became a popsicle!
"Noisy!" Xu Que groaned, then nonchalantly bent down and continued

fanning the fire!
The disciples however were still astonished and dumbstruck at the

scene
This time, they were really petrified and their faces turned pale.
Their impression of Xu Que became one of fear.
The great Original Infant Stage Blood Python was killed by him just like
this!
Oh my god! Is he even human?
No wonder he’s not even the slightest bit afraid of the Blood River Sect!
43 What A Cruel Kid!
Chapter 43: What A Cruel Kid!


"Ding! Congrations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant Staged
demonic beast. The reward is 200,000 experience points as well as a
dropped reward. Would you like to check the reward?"
The system’s beep rang. Xu Que replied out in his mind, "Che ck it!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for gaining a bag of Three Star
Demonic Core!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for gaining a Blood Python

Skin!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for gaining Blood Python Blood
Essence!"
...
Three Star Demonic Core: The core from the body of an Original Infant
Stage demonic beast. Can be used as an antidote or to create weapons!
Blood Python Skin: The strongest and most durable layer of a Blood
Python’s skin, consisting of poison. Can be u sed to create weapons!
Blood Python Blood Essence: The sack within a blood python that
produces its strong poison. Can be used as an antidote or a tonic to
help one build up a very strong immunity!
The system’s bag once again had three additional items.
Xu Que thought for a while before taking out the Three Star Demonic
Core and threw it to the Great Change Sect disciples. He said, "I heard
you saying earlier that one of your junior brothers was poisoned by the
Blood Python and needed the demonic core as an antidote. Here, take
it."
The disciples stared blankly at him for a while, unable to react.
How could he so easily give away such a valuable item like an Original
Infant Stage Demonic Core?
How could anyone be this generous!
"Why are you in a daze? Take it." Xu Que began to laugh at their blank
looks.
Since he had absolutely no use for a mere Three Star Demon Core, he
could throw it around like a toy without any issue!
The disciples finally recomposed themselves and immediately expressed

their gratitude.
"Many thanks, senior!"
"We will never forget this kindness!"
"Senior, you are really a good man!"
"We thank you on behalf of that young disciple."
...

Xu Que laughed and waved this off, "No problem, you’re welcome. Here,
the chicken wings are cooked and ready to eat!"
The impression these disciples gave Xu Que was not bad. At least they
were righteous and upright people.
For instance, when he killed the Blood River Sect’s young leader earlier,
these disciples did not immediately think of running away. Instead, they
persuaded him to leave with them.
When they saw that he refused to leave, they even stayed behind with
him.
Thus, to maintain their good self-sacrificial and gracious behaviour, Xu

Que treated them to some roasted chicken wings!
The disciples split the chicken wings among themselves. They were at
once drawn to the aroma of the chicken wings and they greedily took
one big bite.
"Crunch!" A soft crisp sound was produced.
They all widened their eyes.
"This… This is simply too delicious!"
"This is so tasty!"
"I never imagined that chicken wings could be one of the most delicious
food I’ve ever eaten!"
"Senior is really superior!"
The additional honey to the chicken wing skin gave it a fragrant crisp
while the meat inside was both tender and tasty. Biting down into the
crispy exterior, followed by the tender meat, one’s mouth will be filled
with the juicy fragrance!
Xu Que smiled to himself. Seems like the culinary skills of the people
from this world weren’t great. Just a little Louisiana Roasted Chicken
wing could get them head over heels. Looks like I can use my culinary
skills to act tough in the future!
...
At the same time, far away in the depths of the Withered Bones Forest,
within a cave filled with dried grass was a sleeping old man in ragged
clothing!
His hair was disheveled and his body reeked of alcohol. At one glance,
he looked nothing more than a drunk beggar.
Yet surprisingly, there were a pair of Red Flame Tigers which were of
the Original Infant Stage. They lay next to him shivering in cold.
The old man was in a deep sleep when he suddenly sat up in his straw
bed and wriggled his nose, muttering, "What’s that smell? What is this
strangeness? I haven’t eaten anything in a few hundred years. I didn’t
expect to suddenly have an appetite today!"
The two Red Flame Tigers suddenly trembled, their eyes filled with fear
and were afraid to say anything as if they were worried that the old man
would eat them.
The old man glared at them. "Good-for-nothings, what are you scared
of? Your rotten meat isn’t even worthy to be considered by me!" scolded
the old man before wriggling his nose again and taking a deep breath,
his face exuded a look of pleasure.
After a few breaths, he licked his lips and looked at the Red Flame
Tigers, speaking in a deep voice, "Have you investigated on what I’ve
instructed? I would like to see who is the suicidal person that would dare
to pass off as my ‘Duan Jiu De’s disciple’."
The two Red Flame Tigers trembled and hurriedly replied, "Y -Yes. Half a
month ago, a young man named Xu Que appeared in the domain of the
Celestial Sect and claimed to be Duan Jiu… Senior Duan’s— your
disciple. Rumor has it that he killed countless of immortal cultivators in
order to protect a small village and held a huge banquet at the Celestial
Sect and resolved the conflicts between each sect, establishing peace!"
"Just like that? How ridiculous. What bul lshit sect is Celestial Sect?
They’re just a bunch of morons. A cheat comes along and tries to pass
off as my disciple and they just believe him so easily?" The old man
cursed while digging at his dirty feet.
The Red Flame Tigers stomached their disgust a nd hurriedly shook their
heads. "Not just that. Apparently, the night that Xu Que gave everyone a
treat, Elder Sun from the Celestial Sect brought the Fallen Spirits Sect
to wipe out the village. Upon returning, Xu Que was furious. Someone
said he saw Xu Que hugging a girl who spat out blood and died on the
spot. He then beheaded the entire Fallen Spirits Sect by himself, tied
the hundred over bodies together and went directly to Celestial Sect to
settle scores with Elder Sun!"
"Oh, what a cruel fella. After killing them, he actually even tied them up
all together. Tsk, tsk, tsk… Still, how dare he pass off as my disciple.
Were it not for the fact that I heard about it while strolling in Fire
Country, he would have destroyed my lifelong legendary reputation .
Hmph!" the old man grumbled indignantly.
Hearing that, the Red Flame Tigers put on a pained expression, secretly
disagreeing with the old man. Seems like your reputation is worse?
What Xu Que did cannot even be compared to your little finger.
The old man cursed for a while longer before continuing, "What
happened after that? What happened to that kid who went to Celestial
Sect?"
"After that, he killed Elder Sun right in front of the Celestial Sect’s Sect
Leader and destroyed a large part of the sect. T oday, Celestial Sect has
been reduced to a laughing stock. Their foundation that took a few
hundred years to build was destroyed in just a few moments! But what
was unimaginable was that the kid escaped unscathed. Celestial Sect’s
Sect Leader searched for almost a month yet could not even find a tiny
trace of him."
"Oh? Celestial Sect’s Sect Leader is probably an Infant Transformation

stage I suppose? To think he can’t even capture a young child. How
embarrassing! But then again, this kid cultivation level is not bad.
Comparable to certain immortals from certain sects. After all, to be able
to kill a junior under the eyes of an Infant Transformation Stage
cultivator and escape without a trace, he must at least be at the Original
Infant Stage’s level seven or eight!
Having said that, the old man laughed, picked up his cup of tea and took
a gulp, engrossed.
At that, the Red Flame Tigers put on a weird expressions and said
awkwardly, "Senior Duan, you… you’re wrong. That kid is only at Core
Bearing Stage!"
"Pff!" The old man spat out his water, widened his eyes and exclaimed,
"What? Core Bearing Stage? The dog guts you have… Are you taking
me for a fool? A Core Bearing Stage can behead an Original Infant
Stage immortal in front of an Infant Transformation Stage immortal?
Come, get up! Let me give it to you!"
"Senior, spare us please, senior! We are speaking the complete truth!

We guarantee with our lives!" the Red Flame Tigers begged in tearless
anguish.
The old man frowned and asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"Yes!" the Red Flame Tigers nodded furiously.
The old man rubbed his chin and smiled strangely, "Hehe… Interesting!
But he made use of my name to go around bragging and swindling. I
can’t let that go. Both of you, go and ask around. If you cannot locate
his whereabouts, you are dead meat!"
"Yes!" they hurriedly replied.
The old man grunted and moved his gaze to the outside of the cave and
sighed, "The smell is getting stronger. I can’t take it anymore. Both of
you, find the man quickly. I’m going for a walk. I must capture the talent
who is capable of producing such delicacies back into the cave."
Swish!
The moment the words were heard, a gust of wind followed and the dirty
old man vanished!
44 I’ve Even Eaten The Legendary Peng Bird
Before!
Chapter 44: I’ve Even Eaten The Legendary Peng Bird Before!
Concurrently at the swamp by the side of Withered Bones Forest...
The rich aroma of the roasted chicken wings filled the air of the entire
forest and attracted many demonic beasts.
But when they noticed the frozen Blood Python in the swamps, they all
backed down one after another!
Xu Que unknowingly earned another round of acting tough points while

happily eating with the Great Change Sect!
At this moment, a shabbily dressed old man sneakily walked out of the
forest towards Xu Que. His eyes were fixated on the chicken wings in
their hands.
"Eh?"
Xu Que and the Great Change Sect disciples noticed him and were
about to speak when the old man suddenly took a big stride towards
them.
While they were all stunned, the old man squeezed amongst them with
all smiles and said in a friendly manner, "Wo w! Are you roasting chicken
wings here? How could you not invite me!"
Having said that, he grabbed two chicken wings off the wire mesh and
stuffed them into his mouth and began eating intently.
His table manners were simply unbearable to watch.

"Burp…"
Xu Que recovered himself and asked the Great Change Sect disciples,
"Do you know him?"
The disciples shook their head cluelessly.
Don’t know him?
Damn it!
Where did this smelly, shameless cheat came from? How dare he try to
cheat his way into stealing my food!
Xu Que turned his head to glare at the old man, preparing to settle
scores with him.
However, the old man finished up the roasted wings in three big
mouthfuls and his face has a look of greedy happiness. He looked at Xu
Que with reverence, like a huge fan and said "Little brother, you are
really a genius to be able to whip up such a delicacy!"
Oh, so he is a foodie!
Xu Que became amused and laughed, "Who knew an old beggar like
yourself can actually know to appreciate food well."
When the old man heard that, he suddenly lost his cheeriness and said
angrily, "Who are you calling an old beggar? I have such an outstanding
and impressive disposition and spirit! Which part of me looks like a
beggar?"
Every part!
Xu Que and the disciples pursed their lips, and all thought so in their
minds.
The old man nonchalantly propped one leg over the other and said while
picking his teeth, "But I must say you have good judgment. When it
comes to food critique, I am the world’s best."
When Xu Que heard that, he felt offended. How could he eat my food
and still have the guts to brag in my face?
"Please don’t brag, old beggar. Don’t you know any shame? To be
honest, when it comes to food, I’ve been named a Food Deity!" Xu Que
said in disdain.
"Bullshit! How dare a brat like you call yourself a Food Deity!" the old
man said angrily at once. He leapt off the floor and began cursing,
"What is the world coming to? I’ve never met anyone more shameless.
To tell you the truth, I have tasted ambrosia and your roasted chicken
wings is bullshit in comparison."
"You’re actually bragging about some trifling ambrosia? This Food Deity
has tasted Kentucky Fried Chicken, Macdonald’s and even Pizza Hut!"
Xu Que groaned coldly.
"What chicken? What Mac? I’ve never even heard o f those. Don’t think
you could confuse me just by making up some random names."
"That’s because you’re ignorant!"
"Nonsense! I know everything there is to know!"
"Oh please… There is nothing in this world that I don’t know about!"
"Yuck! You’re audacious!"
"You have no sense of shame!"
The Great Change Sect disciples felt bewildered watching the two of
them quarrel.
What’s going on here? They are actually fighting over a stupid title like
"The World’s Best Eater"?
Is this such an honor and glory that you have to get so uptight and fight
over it?!
The disciples were dumbfounded. They tried to mediate but could not
even find the chance to intervene.
Xu Que and the old man took turns arguing, spending so much time
quarrelling.
Finally, the old man snorted, "I shan’t bother myself with this ignorant
young punk. When I was crossing the Seas in the Northern Underworld
in the company of the mythological giant Peng bird and tasting all the
rare and exotic delicacies in this universe, you weren’t even bo rn yet."
"Oh please, you’re actually bragging about a trifle like this? I’ve even
eaten the legendary Peng bird!" Xu Que bragged proudly, in a serious
manner.
The old man burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Looks like you’ve been
exposed. Just based on your little cultivation, you probably have not
even stepped into Fire Country before. How could you say you’ve eaten
the legendary Peng bird from the Seas of the Northern Underworld? You
probably haven’t even seen it before!"
Having said that, he turned towards the Great Change Sect disciples
and asked, "Tell me, have you heard of the legendary Peng bird? Have
you seen it before?"
The disciples looked utterly confused and shook their heads in unison.
The Seas of the Northern Underworld? Where is that? Mythologi cal

Peng bird? Such a clan exists? Why have we not heard of it before!
But Xu Que laughed coolly, "Old beggar, this is why I said you’re
ignorant. It’s merely the Mythological Peng bird. Not only have I eaten
them, I even wrote a poem as tribute while I was in an exalted poetic
mood after eating!"
"A poem? Someone like you can even write a poem as a tribute to the
legendary Peng bird? Well, come on, recite it for us!" the old man
ridiculed.
Xu Que shook his head in disbelief, stood up and began reciting, "The
Northern Underworld has a fish known as Kun!"
"Gasp…" when the old man heard the poem, his smile froze.
His heart skipped a beat. This fella actually knows that Kun is a fish?
Could he really have seen it before?
Xu Que glanced at him and the corners of his mouth curled up. He
continued reciting, "Kun is huge and can’t be stewed in one pot. When
transformed into a bird, it’s known as Peng. Peng is huge and will
require two roasting pits. One will require more sugar, the other will
need a bit of spice. Add a mug of snowflake and let us conquer the
world!"
"Pfff!" The Great Change Sect disciples spat out their chicken wings on
the spot.
What… What kind of poem is this! Except for the front and middle parts
where it sounded rather normal, the other p arts are all about food?
"Ssss!" The old man took in a deep breath and widened his eyes in
disbelief. He was completely stunned and could not calm himself down.
He eventually recovered himself and slapped his thigh, shouting, "A

great line! ‘One will require more sugar, the other will need a bit of
spice’. Just hearing this line alone will boost anyone’s appetite! Truly a
wonderful poem. Well-written!"
"Plop!"
Astonished, the Great Change Sect disciples fell off the rocks they were
sitting on.
Xu Que looked at the old man and smiled weakly, "Oh don’t patronize
me!"
"Come, come, kid. Let me ask you, have you really tasted the legendary
Peng bird?" the old man put his arm around Xu Que’s shoulder and
asked happily. His expression immediately became one filled with
smiles.
Xu Que patted his chest and said, "Do I really look like someone who
would boast about something I haven’t done?"
"And the… the snowflake. What’s that? How can it help you conquer the
world?"
"Oh, that is a kind of beer. Now that you’ ve mentioned, I have a craving
for it. Since you seem to be not a bad person, the next time I brew
some, I’ll treat you to a great round of beers!" Xu Que patted the old
man’s shoulder and said.
The old man laughed happily and nodded, "Great, you seem lik e a nice
kid too. A capable and promising individual! Here, take this as a gift.
Have fun with it!"
Having said that, the old man conjured a dark and swarthy piece of jade
tile out of thin air. The inscriptions on it were unclear, but there was a
unicorn emblem engraved, and it gave off a simple yet mysterious smell.
"Oh, thank you!"
Xu Que took it over and scrutinized it. He could not make out the words
but felt that the appearance of the black jade tile looked pretty decent
and hence tied it to his waist like a pendant.
The old man stared blankly then squinted his eyes before breaking into
laughter. He and Xu Que put their arms around each other and began
chatting again.
Watching this scene, the Great Change Sect disciples almost fainted.
The both of you are friendly again?
...
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
At this moment, some sounds came from within the forest. Countless of
silhouettes appeared in the forest along with a strong foreboding sense
of death and murder.
The expressions on the Great Change Sect disciples’ faces changed

drastically. They quickly got up and shouted alarmingly, "The Blood
River Sect people are here!"
45 Young and Beautiful Maidens
Chapter 45: Young and Beautiful Maidens

"After waiting for so long, they’ve finally come!" Xu Que gave a blank
smile as his eyes swept across the forest.
Since the Blood River Sect disciples really offers themselves up to me,
then I shall help myself to all the experience points and rush towards the
full foundation of the Golden Core Stage.
The old man heard the movement some distance away as well and was
curious, "Eh, kid. Are those your enemies coming for revenge?"
"They can’t even be considered my enemies. They’re just a bunch of

inanimate objects. At any point in time, I can use several fingers to kill
them easily!" Xu Que laughed out as he spoke.
The old man puckered his brows and laughed along with Xu Que,
"Hehehe... Kid, don’t be too cocky and confident and do yourself in as a
result. Based on my observations, they have quite an army of people
with them! Of course, if you would ask me for a favor, I can help you
resolve your problems easily!"
"Ask you for help? In your dreams!" Xu Que turned around to look at the
old man and tried to determine his cultivation level at the same time. He
then realized that he was unable to see through the man’s cultivation
level and was taken aback.
The old man then laughed out loudly, "You really don’t need my help?"
"I really don't need your help. If you were to really help me, I’ll be more
anxious!" Xu Que spoke our earnestly. He had finally made such big
group of people come and deliver themselves to him in the form of
experience points. Why should he want the old man to intervene?
The old man looked at the situation before shaking his head and smiling
without speaking.
He then thought to himself, "You’re just a mere Golden Core Stage

cultivator and yet you speak so highly of yourself. Since you’re so
confident in your own abilities, I won’t tell you that there are 8 Original
Infant Stage cultivators within the army approaching. Let’s see how you
can boast when you see them. I wonder if you would beg for my help
then!"
Xu Que completely ignored the old man and casted his attention towards
the rustling forest ahead.
"Shiu!"
All of a sudden, several beams of light emerged from the skies and shot
towards the forest and landed beside the swamp. It was 3 immortal
cultivators dressed in daoist robes and who rode on flying swords.
Eh? Why aren’t they Blood River Sect disciples?
Xu Que was momentarily taken aback.
However, he could feel killing intent bec oming stronger and stronger
within the forest. It must be that the Blood River Sect people were fast
approaching them still.
The 3 cultivators who were dressed in daoist robes appeared before

him. The 2 of them were men and the last was a woman. They were all
in the Original Infant Stage with the woman being the strongest among
them. She was level 5 of the Original Infant Stage.
What was most surprising was that the woman looked extremely young
and was very good looking too. She had a fair and soft skin that looked
like it could be torn apart just by blowing at it. She was such a good
looking woman that it was almost certain that most men would take a
second look at her after seeing her once.
Furthermore she was dressed in a tight fitting daoist robe which made
her look otherworldly as if she was a lady who was anything but
ordinary. An extraordinary cultivator!
The other pair of men were both middle aged and were somewhat
plump. They were both of the second level Original Infant Stage.
"Sect Leader!"
At this point, the disciples of Great Change Sect shouted out to her as
they hurriedly ran across and saluted to the young woman. They then
shouted out respectfully, "Greetings to Sect Leader!
Immediately after, they then turned to the pair of men standing beside
her and greeted them as well, "Elder Mo, Elder Li!"
Xu Que was taken aback!
Damn me! Great Change Sect actually had such a gorgeous looking
Sect Leader? It probably isn’t an old woman using spells to conceal her
old age right?
...
"I’ve heard that the young leader of Blood River Sect has been killed
and implicated you. Hence, I rushed down as soon as I could! What
happened here?"
The gorgeous looking Sect Leader asked her disciples, her voice rang
out like the beautiful symphony of bells and was extremely pleasant to
the ears.
The few disciples looked at each other in uncertainty before reporting

the entire sequence of events to their Sect Leader. From time to time,
they would even stretch out a hand and point at Xu Que.
The young lady Sect Leader and the pair of Elders listened halfway as
their faces broke out in astonished looks. At the same time, they raised
their heads to look at Xu Que before asking their disciples more
questions. "What you’re saying is that this black robed man intentionally
killed Master Song so as to lure more Blood River Sect disciples over?"
"Mm!" The disciples nodded their heads agonizingly.
"This..." The pair of Elders were astonished by these facts. They’ve

never witnessed anything as incredulous as this in their entire lives.
"Why would he do that?" The Sect Leader asked.
The few disciples forced a bitter laugh and shook their heads, "We don’t
know the reason for that as well. From the start, we were afraid of him.
When we advised him to run away, he refused. H e even made us fetch
firewood for him before roasting chicken wings for us using the
firewood..."
"Roast… Roast chicken wings?" The pair of Great Change Sect Elders
asked in apparent surprise.
After killing someone, he even had the mood and appetite to roast
chicken wings? My god. What type of person is he? Where did this
deranged man appear from!?
At the next moment, the young lady and the pair of Elders shot glances
towards Xu Que once more.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for subtly acting to ugh. The
reward is 40 act tough points!"
A beep rang out in Xu Que’s head, signalling his success in acting

tough.
Soon after, the disciples started recounting the story of how Xu Que
managed to kill the Original Infant Stage Blood Python with just a sin gle
move. The young woman Sect Leader and Elders were stunned and
flabbergasted when they heard this.
Hence…

Another beep echoed out within Xu Que’s mind.
The beeps rang out twice in such a short span of time. Xu Que just
blindly collected his act tough points without even understanding why he
had earned them.
At this point, the Blood River Sect members were almost reaching!
The heavy movements and rustling of leaves were getting louder. It

almost seems like a huge gale was building up within the forest. Soon
after, several dozens of shadows emerged with a whoosh from behind
the shadows of the forest.
This group of people all wore the same full -red long robes as they
wielded their flying swords or spears. Killing auras radiated from the
entire group of people as they encircled and surrounded the entire
swamp within seconds.
The Sect Leader and Sect Elders of Great Change Sect turned around
to see the situation they had been caught up in and their faces turned
ashen.
"Damn it! Those few people from Blood River Sect are here!"
Following the soft whisper from the female Sect Leader, 8 shadows
emerged from the large group of shadows. All the 8 of th em were
Original Infant Stage cultivators and were extremely intimidating
individuals. Their killing intents covered the entire swamp.
One of the men within the group of eight had the heaviest aura and was
clearly the most powerful among them. His entire face radiated severe
killing intent as his eyes turned bloodshot. It was evident that he was
enraged and was about to blow up in fury.
He glanced at his surroundings before his vision stopped right at the

side where a huge boulder stood. His face fell ins tantly as he shot
towards the boulder and fell to his knees. He clutched the dead
headless body and shouted out in agony, "Child, my child!"
Boom!
In that instant, a terrifying killing aura shot out from within his body and
took the form of a hurricane as it started pooling around him.
"The bastard who killed my son… Come out here now!" The middle aged
cultivator shouted out. The strength in his voice was startling and
caused many people’s stomach to turn and their ears to hurt.
The Great Change Sect Leader and the pair of Elders froze.
The Sect Elders then asked in hushed voices, "Sect Leader, what should
we do?"
The woman frowned worriedly, "That black robed man saved our
disciples. We have to help him."
"But…"
"There are no buts. Although the standings of our Great Change Sect
has dropped, we cannot throw away our sense of righteousness and
justice!" The woman insisted fiercely.
...
Indeed, Xu Que never saw the Blood River Sect group as a threat to his
life. Instead, he was feeling extremely uncomfortable with strange
expressions that the dirty old man kept giving.
Without his presence, Xu Que would’ve left to battle with the Blood
River Sect a long time ago. However, this old man was standing beside
him, frowning and giving him strange looks whi ch caused Xu Que to feel
annoyed.
At last, Xu Que couldn’t take it anymore and rolled his eyes, "Old
beggar, can you please stop looking at me that way. It’s extremely
disgusting."
The old man nearly jumped out in rage and shouted in anger, "You little
punk! I was trying to give you good advice and yet you can’t appreciate
it? There are so many Original Infant Stage immortals over at the other
side, can you win them? I actually wanted to give you one last chance to
ask for my help. Heheh... but the chance is gone. Even if you kneel
down and beg me for help, I will never help you."
"You’re thinking too much into this, old man. They’re just some lame
bandits. Why are you being such a nosey body?" Xu Que spoke out
defiantly.
"Fine, you said it. Later if you can’t kill them, I shall kill you first." The
dirty old man spoke out in anger.
Xu Que laughed coldly, "Kill me? You are so naive. If you really can kill
me, I will admit to your prowess."
"Damn it, you dare to antagonize me? Don’t assume I don’t dare t o kill
you."
"Antagonize your uncle. Come on, kill me then. Let’s see who it is who
gets killed!"
"Y-you little kid think you can kill me? Come on then!"
"Why don’t you make the first move!"
"If you have the guts, you come at me first!"
"You first!"
"You first!"
"I’m first your grandfather!
"I’m first your ancestors!"
"..."
The both of them were engaged in a passionate and heated quarrel,

their hands were even raised with plenty of actions.
The bystanders around couldn’t even stop them from fight ing as they
watched with their eyes gaping wide in astonishment, their faces
stunned.
46 Killing Song Yun Hai
Chapter 46: Killing Song Yun Hai




While he was scolding the old man ferociously, the system rang out
continuously in his head informing him of the rewards he gained!
However, he wasn’t arguing with the old man to act nonchalant or act
tough while his enemies were approaching. It was just that the old man
was extremely infuriating and Xu Que was really angry. Many vulgar
expletives were uttered back and forth as the bystanders watching were
all stumped by the flowery language used.
Especially since they were all ready to strike and defend themselves
against the Blood River Sect. The Great Change Sect Leader was ready
to help Xu Que and fight as well. However, she was extremely confused
and astonished at this point.
The great and powerful enemies were about to descend. What are the
both of you doing? You’re actually having an internal conflict?
Quarrelling among yourselves?
All because of several words, the both of them quarrelled to this extent?
"..."
The few disciples from Great Change Sect were stumped as well and
didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. But they’ve already witnessed
several strange scenarios with Xu Que prior to this.
In fact, the Blood River Sect members were all stumped by this display
as well. The 8 Original Infant Stage cultivators had ashen faces as their
killing intents were still palpable.
Song Yun Hai was the most enraged of the lot. The son which he dearly
adored and loved had been brutally murder ed. As a result, he brought
the entire strength of his sect for revenge.
However, when they got here, their enemies weren't the least afraid. In
fact, they were… Quarreling in front of them.
"Both of you shut up! Repay the life of my son!"
Song Yun Hai’s hurt and grief was added to this spectacle and
humiliation which caused him to explode with the rage of a thousand
suns. His body transformed into a scarlet-red blood shadow as he let
loose his anger and charged towards them.
At the same time, a single sword blade which was as thin as an insect’s
wings and unrivalled in sharpness appeared in his outstretched hands
as he continued flying towards Xu Que and the old man, pointing the
sword at them threateningly!
"Careful!"
"Oh no! Hurry help them!" The faces of the Great Change Sect disciples
fell as the female Sect Leader shouted out before moving quickly.
Xu Que and the old man were still quareling when they saw Song Yun
Hai heading towards them. At the same time, they both shouted out in
irritation that their quarrel was disturbed, "Move away!"
At the same time, their hands raised up!
A wisp of white flame and a red coloured flying dagger flew towards
Song Yun Hai instantly.
The flame was Xu Que’s Bone Freezing Flame and the flying dagger
was just a random skill used by the old man.
Both of them acted out simultaneously, forming an extremely terrifying

combination of powers.
Despite the blind rage that Song Yun Hai was in, he hasn’t lost control
of his faculties. He twisted the sword in his hands to block the incoming
projectiles thrown out by the old man and the young kid.
The wisp of white flame was too small. Although it was strangely white
and bore a certain coldness with it, Song Yun Hai felt that he was more
than capable of defending himself against it.
The only thing which worried him was the old man’s flying dagger which
was darting towards him.
The entire dagger was a deep shade of red and looked extremely
normal. However, it pierced the air and flew with astonishing speed and
moved soundlessly through the air.
"Dang!
A vibration rang out with the collision of the projectiles against his
sword.
The flying sword reached faster than the white flame as it lodged itself
within Song Yun Hai’s sword blade which caused a series of sparks to
burst forth from the sword.
As soon as the dagger touched his sword, under the amazed

expressions of everyone watching, Song Yun Hai gave a low groan as
his entire body was thrown into the air. It was akin to watching a kite
which had its string severed as the kite soared out of control into the air.
Song Yun Hai collided into a tree some distance away with so much
impact that a large crater was formed on the bark of the tree.
Following that, the white flame then reached Song Yun Hai. It floated
around him like bees before assaulting his robes.
Boom!
A huge wave of unnatural coldness radiated out and diffused across the
forest.
"Ah!" Song Yun Hai’s eyes were gaping wide as he tried to compose
himself to no avail before revealing out a sharp cry of agony.
In the next moment, he was completely frozen into a block of ice. His
expression was still one of immense pain while he froze to death.
...
Everyone present was startled.
Nobody could clearly see everything that happened due to the speed of
which it took place. All they knew was that Song Yun Hai had charged
towards them and the both of them reacted as if they were swatting a fly
away and flicked their hands effortlessly.
The next moment, everyone saw the old man’s flying dagger move with
such terrifying speed and powers towards the Song Yun Hai.
And that white wisp of flame was overlooked by everyone. With a blink
of an eye, all that they saw was Song Yun Hai screaming out in pain
before being frozen into a block of ice.
Everyone looked at the old man, their eyes filled with fear and respect.
At this point, they then realized they couldn’t detect the old man’s
cultivation level.
Besides, he had killed Song Yun Hai with just a single dagger in a single
move. In that instant, that old man became the f ocal point of attention.
"That’s so powerful! So this old senior is extremely strong, I didn’t

expect that at all!"
The few Great Change Sect disciples, including the Sect Leader were
amazed.
To them, Song Yun Hai was killed by the old man. They then ga ve out a
sigh of relief. As long as this old senior was around, the Blood River
Sect members were doomed.
The group of Blood River Sect cultivators all had expressions of fear on
their faces. The remaining 7 Original Infant Stage cultivators were all
apprehensive and worried. They started to slowly retreat, careful not to
make any sudden movements as if they wanted to take this opportunity
to escape!
...
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing an

Original Infant Stage cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points
and a storage ring!"
Xu Que could hear the beep go off within his head. He was glad that this
kill was awarded to him as he received the full rewards of it. He then
revealed a toothy smile.
The old man beside him had an expression of shock as his eyes
gleamed. He then turned to Xu Que and looked at him.
The both of them didn’t start quarreling again. The old man then asked,
"Little kid, what was the name of that technique?"
"Could it be that you wish to learn from me? If you plead with me, I
might teach you!" Xu Que laughed out and replied.
The old man’s face fell as he replied in a low voice, "Hm… I don’t even
respect your unknown sect and strange techniques. But if you were to
kneel down here and beg me, I can teach you a spell that’s much
stronger. What do you say?"
"Haha! Not a chance. Hurry and leave. Don’t hinder my killing any
more!" Xu Que waved a hand and spoke out irritably.
The old man sighed and looked at Xu Que, "Kid, do you really think I
want to stay? If it weren’t for that chicken wing which I ate earlier, I
wouldn’t even be bothered to act in your defense. Since you have such
skills with you, this old man is lazy to put up with you any longer. I need
to find another asshole of a kid. Someone just like you. Farewell!"
"Hopefully farewell forever, I shan’t see you off then!" Xu Que smiled as
with his eyes nearly closed.
Hence, the old man didn’t do anything else as he turned around, his
physical form started to diminish gradually before he complet ely
disappeared.
Xu Que watched in amazement and thought to himself that it was such a

good way to teleport. It was even much faster than his escape emblems!
And the Great Change Sect disciples were in utter astonishment.
That old senior… He just left like that?
And he was chased away!
What are you doing? Is it that you’re full and have nothing better to do?’
Such a strong ally but you chased him away?
The female Sect Leader and the Elders watched Xu Que in a daze as
they scolded him harshly. They almost wanted to cut his scalp open and
check if his brains were already rotten or not!
However, only a few disciples understood what had happened. The man
froze to death. That was too familiar a sight! Some moments ago, Xu
Que had done the exact same thing in front of them, freezing the
Original Infant Stage Blood Python to death the same way.
The Blood River Sect paused in disbelief which was soon followed by
elation!
Now that the old man had gone, to them, it was as if the biggest threat
to their lives were no longer around.
That was to say, they had nothing more to fear!
Someone tilted his head back and gave out a loud laugh, "Haha!!! Kid,
now that nobody’s here to protect you anymore, be good and give up
your life!"
"If you wish to blame someone, just blame your mouth for being so
dirty!’
"You actually chased away such a supreme being with that dirty mouth
of yours. That’s a first time I’m actually seeing something like that."
"I’ve never seen anyone as stupid as you!"
...
The Blood River Sect disciples burst out in laughter. Even the fact that
their leader had just died was casted to the back of their minds.
Xu Que looked at them plainly before smiling, "Come on then! The

insignificant old man has gone. We can have a good fight. Tell me, do
you want to fight as a group or one by one? I suggest all of you attack
together as a group!"
47 My Humble Name Is Xu Que

Chapter 47: My Humble Name Is Xu Que

"To-Together as a group?"
"This… This kid… Is he insane? He’s still provoking the Blood River
Sect at such a time."
The Great Chance Sect Elders were terrified by his actions and were
extremely anxious.
Their lady Sect Leader’s expression was downcast as well. She looked
as if she had just boarded a pirate board and was in deep trouble.
She then calculated the strengths on both sides. There were a total of 3
Original Infant Stage cultivators on her side and the opposite side had 7
Original Infant Stage cultivators. They even had several dozens of
Golden Core Stage disciples. No matter how she looked at it, the
opposition was much stronger than they were.
Yet under such circumstances, Xu Que coul d still provoke the enemy.
This lady Sect Leader felt her heart beat so hard that she probably
thought it was damaged after this incident. She tried estimating the total
number of disciples they had brought along but failed since the numbers
were vast.
A few Great Change Sect disciple’s had a stoic expression on their

faces while their eyes glimmered with hope and anticipation. Even their
heartbeats were starting to increase in pace.
One by one or attack together as a group? I suggest attacking together

as a group!?
Those words... Were too familiar!
They had heard him say the same phrase when he was up against
Master Song and the rest of his disciples as well. All the Great Change
Sect disciples were in deep despair when he came along and challenged
them.
In the end, Master Song and many of his disciples were killed.
Xu Que then said this phrase one more time which made all the Great
Change Sect disciples breathe harder and faster.
Exciting!
It’s too damn exciting!
The black robed senior is too domineering!
The 3 female disciples looked at him with glowing spirits and happiness
radiating from their eyes. They had unknowingly developed a sort of
admiration and adoration for him as they stared at him dazedly.
The people from Blood River Sect laughed i ncredulously.
Xu Que’s provocation was a big joke to them!
"It looks like you really can’t wait to die, that’s why you’re saying all
these words. I can grant you your wish."
One of the elite fighters from Blood River Sect who was of the Original
Infant Stage spoke out. He then looked at his 6 other Original Infant
Stage brothers and laughed, "Fellow friends, since our Sect Leader has
died, let’s make a bet. The first person to kill this kid would be the new
Sect Leader. What do you think?"
"Let’s do it!" The 6 of them replied with no hesitation as they nodded

their heads in approval.
One of the Original Infant Stage cultivator kept casting dirty, lingering
glances over at the Sect Leader before laughing out wretchedly. He then
spoke out, "Let’s make it more exciting. After we’ve disposed of this kid,
let’s join efforts to take down Great Chance Sect. How about that?"
"Hehe… of course!"
"With Sect Leader Su Yun Lan’s beautiful and gorgeous disposition, we

should start making our move against the sect!"
"In the past, Song Yun Hai didn’t dare to touch Great Change Sect. Now
that he’s finally dead, we don’t have to worry too much about him!"
"Looks like we can have a romantic time together this very night!"
"Sect Leader Su, we will satisfy you tonight a nd let you experience what
it’s like to be torn in the middle of life and death!"
The few men of Blood River Sect were Original Infant Stages and
started making bawdy jokes that only men would understand.
The few people of Great Change Sect were enraged.
The pair of Sect Elders shouted back in anger, "Blood River Sect
members, wash your mouths clean and make sure nothing filthy comes
out of that hole. Don’t think we’re easy to bully!"
"You disrespectful idiots. Dare to be discourteous and rude to our Se ct

Leader?"
"Black robed senior, please strike and kill them all. We will consider that
as the cleansing of Wind City of its vile population!"
The few disciples looked towards Xu Que, inviting him to make the first
move.
The Sect Leader of Great Change Sect, Su Yun Lan had an entire face
of anger as she glared coldly at the Blood River Sect men. Her killing
intent was pouring out of her.
When she heard her own junior disciples inviting Xu Que to attack them,
she was taken aback.
Xu Que was staring right at the Blood River Sect disciples. Hearing
them speak out this impolitely to a beautiful lady, he nodded his head
gently as a look of resentment and hatred was revealed on his face. He
then lashed out at them angrily.
"You bunch of idiots deserves to be alone for the rest of your miserable
lives. The minute you see a beautiful looking woman, all of you start
thinking of forcing yourselves upon her. Where’s the chivalry and
gentlemanliness? You don’t know any of these qualities and you still
dare to come out and show your ugly faces? All of you, die now!"
The minute his last words were spoken, Xu Que’s shadow became a blur
before transforming into a bolt of lightning as he gripped his Dark Buster
Sword tightly. He then dashed towards the group of Blood Ri ver Sect
disciples.
The disciples of Great Change Sect were all stunned.
The pair of Sect Elders exhaled hard onto their beards as they opened
their eyes to watch. Even the Sect Leader Su Yun Lan opened her
mouth wide making her look someone foolish.
What was this black robed man doing?
What utter rubbish was he speaking about? Killing them? And he even
spoke so confidently and so passionately.
"Heheh… the person who would die is you!"
The few Original Infant Stage cultivators were all japing and mock ing
him as they laughed.
They could see very clearly that this crazy immortal black robed
cultivator who was charging straight at them was only of the Golden
Core Stage, level 6. He wasn’t even high level enough to inspire fear. In
fact, they could exterminate him with a flick of their fingers.
As for the Sect Leader and Sect Elders who were standing not far away,
they could actually feel a sense of danger around and hence kept their
gazes fixed upon their 6 disciples across them.
Indeed, even before Su Yun Lan had time to react, the few Original
Infant Stage cultivators were infuriated!
Xu Que inched nearer causing them to perspire down their backs. They
could suddenly sense danger approaching as if death was lingering
nearby waiting to collect them.
Before long, the huge, sky covering Dark Buster Sword appeared before
their eyes. The shadow of it looked so much like an illusion,l with a
crazy amount of force behind the buster sword as it slammed right into
them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There were several consecutive crashes as the the Original Infant Stage
cultivators desperately found ways to block the powerful strikes by
conjuring their own spells. It was obvious that they were retreating
several paces back due to the dominant buster sword which threate ned
them relentlessly. Even the Blood River Sect disciples who were
standing behind the Original Infant Stage members were thrown off their
feet due to the amount of strength involved.
Su Yun Lan and the rest of them were taken aback.
Xu Que gripped his dark greatsword tightly as his shadow stood by itself
against numerous enemies.
He had the mentality of one man taking on a thousand men.
The 3 of them from Great Change Sect were completely overwhelmed by

the immense power emanating from Xu Que and were appalled by it!
"How… How’s that possible?"
"He is clearly just a Golden Core Stage cultivator level 6. With

extraordinary skills learnt, he could be able to overcome the Original
Infant Stage demonic beast. But it was impossible for him to handle so
many Original Infant Stage senior cultivators at the same time!"
The pair of Sect Elders were stunned as they spoke out. What they were
witnessing completely undermined their knowledge of the cultivation
levels!
Su Yun Lan was staring dazedly at the battle , her eyes were fixed on the
back of Xu Que as her teeth bit down hard on her lower lips. Her eyes
had a distant gaze to them as if she was deep in thought over something
important.
The few Great Change Sect disciples almost jumped up in shock from
the powers he had exhibited. Even though they already knew that Xu
Que was an immortal cultivator who had killed an Original Infant Stage
demonic beast, he was taking on so many people at once. This was
extremely eye opening for them.
Xu Que’s might and powers sincerely impacted everyone around,

including the Blood River Sect disciples.
All the Golden Core Stage disciples had an utter look of terror on their
faces as if they had seen a ghost climb up from beneath the ground.
They turned around and fled without any hesitation.
Several Original Infant Stage elite fighters widened their eyes in shock
as blood seeped out the corners of their mouths. They held onto their
heads as they struggled to stand back up on their feets and stared at Xu
Que with intense terror.
"That’s not possible…"
"That’s impossible! How can a Golden Core Stage cultivator have such
strength!"
"Who on earth are you?!" The few of them shouted out in fear.
Xu Que kept his Dark Buster Sword as he winked at them with his dark
black eyes and replied half laughing, "My humble name is Xu Que!"
The minute his name was spoken, several Original Infant Stage
cultivators from Blood River Sect exhibited looks of utter panic as their
hearts almost seemed to stop within their chests. Their lips started
trembling in fear.
Naturally, the great name of Xu Que had been spread all the way to the
strongholds of Blood River Sect.
However, never in a thousand years would they imagine that this black
robed man in front of them was actually Xu Que!"
"Goodbye everyone. Hurry, meet your beloved Sect Leader in death and
have a good reunion with him!"
Xue Que laughed out as he lifted up his hands where a faint white
glowing ember could be seen dancing on his palm. It flickered and
swayed like water but caused everyone around to feel an intense
coldness take over their bodies.
The minute his words were spoken, Xu Que threw his palms forward,
pushing the white freezing flames towards the group of Blood River Sect
members.
"Boom!"
The clamorous sound of the fire coursing through the air could be heard
as the majestic Bone Freezing Fire was unleashed like a flood. It
instantly swept over the entire span of the forest.
"No!!!" Several Original Infant Stage cultivators and the Golden Core
Stage members who had fled and were already several hundred meters
away shouted out.
In a blink of an eye, the Bone Freezing Fire engulfed the entire area and
froze over it. Everyone from the Blood River Sect and even some
demonic beasts who were hiding around, along with many other t rees
were completely frozen to ice.
The entire world seemed to stop moving and everything was still.
Within Xu Que’s mind, a long series of consecutive beeps could be

heard.

48 You Have A Gash In Between Your Thighs
Chapter 48: You Have A Gash In Between Your Thighs

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for ascending a level. The

current cultivation level is Golden Core Stage, level 9!"
After a long chain of consecutive beeps from the system, it finally

concluded with that last message before Xu Que’s mind was calm and
quiet.
He had gained 3 successive levels and smoothly stepped into the 9th
level of the Golden Core Stage. He was only a small step away from
reaching the full foundation of the Golden Core Stage!
He hurriedly summoned the system and opened his own personal stats.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Level: Golden Core Stage ( Close to Perfection)
Experience Points: 0/1,200,000
Skill Path: Intermediate


Occupation: None
Status: Prince Consort of the Eastern Fire Country
"Hahahahah!!!" Xu Que broke out into uncontrollable laughter.
He was extremely pleased. Never did he expect the entire group of

Blood River Sect to cause him so much benefits and growth! He actually
made it big from them. Additionally, his act tough points had increased
by several folds as well. At this point, there were 1,800 points!
However he knew that he wouldn't be purchasing anything anytime

soon. He planned to save up the points. Xu Que knew that it wouldn't be
long before he could revive Xiao Rou again. He was worried that it might
cost him a fortune of act tough points then and decided to be thrifty.
Right at that moment, the few Great Change Sect disciples jumped up in
shock after hearing his sonorous laughter.
Seeing everything in front of them freezing over and turning into solid
cubes of ice cause them to fall into a daze as their minds raced.
Su Yun Lan was staring blankly at Xu Que, her mouth was still gaping
wide and yet not a word was uttered.
She was just pondering over how to help Xu Que to cross this big
problem of the numerous Blood River Sect disciples. Who would've
expected that a single movement of his hands would cause the complete
obliteration of the entire Blood River Sect!
And the way they all died was exactly how Song Yun Hai had died!
"So actually…
"Actually Song Yun Hai wasn't killed by the old senior and was instead
killed by…"
The pair of Sect Elders had just regained their senses as they inhaled a
mouthful of cold air.
That Song Yun Hai was an Original Infant Stage cultivator, level 8! He
was the strongest being in the entire Wind City. Nobody expected that
he would actually fall to this level 6 Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Eh?
What’s happening?
How did he become level 9 of the Golden Core Stage?
All of a sudden, the pair of Sect Elders opened their eyes wide and
looked at Xu Que in utter disbelief.
Su Yun Lan had realized it too and her eyes exuded an astonished look.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for subtly acting tough. The
Xu Que was long used to these strange and random acting tough
moment's even without him doing anything and didn't bother too much
about it.
He turned around and walked towards the Great Change Sect disciples.
"Senior… Senior Xiao, you were amazing!" A female disciple was

extremely impressed by him and shouted out.
With such a grand display of his incredible might and battle prowess,
she was awestruck, having never witnessed anything like this before.
"You’re over complimenting me, over complimenting me." Xu Que

laughed out as he replied.
Su Yun Lan’s pretty eyes revealed a curious look as she asked Xu Que,
"Your surname is Xiao?"
Xu Que paused as he recalled how he had told Master Song and the
rest of his company that his name was "Xiao Yan". He then realized that
these Great Change Sect disciples had heard it as well and took him for
real.
Furthermore, when he revealed his true identity to the Blood River Sect
earlier, he spoke very softly. Hence, Su Yun Lan and t he rest of her
junior disciples didn’t hear him.
After hearing her question, Xu Que laughed out before replying,

"Actually my surname is Xu and my name is Que. I am currently single!"
"So your name is Xu... What did you say again? Xu Que?"
Su Yun Lan didn’t think too much about his name at first as she gently
nodded her head. All of a sudden, she jumped up and shouted out his
name in shock!
Both the Elders and the 6 disciples were stumped as well!
Xu Que!
This person standing in front of them was the legendary Xu Que!
No wonder…
No wonder he could destroy the entire Blood River Sect effortlessly. No

wonder even after killing his foes he had the appetite for chicken wings.
Because he’s Xu Que!
The next moment, all the Great Change Sect disciples rea lized that
everything that happened made perfect sense.
"That’s right. My humble name is Xu Que." Xu Que let out a harmless,

toothy grin.
The few of them from Great Change Sect couldn’t help but tremble
slightly. If it weren’t for the fact that they had already interacted with him
prior to finding out his identity, they would’ve fled as fast as they could
upon hearing his name.
Su Yun Lan’s face turned pale as her heart and mind raced.
The person standing in front of her was exactly how he was described in
the rumours! He didn’t even bat an eyelid and annihilated the entire sect
without much effort!
However those people who had been killed were extremely evil and
guilty and deserved to die. It’s just that why…. Why did she still feel a
sense of fear even though his killings were justified?
"Ai, Sect Leader Su, why do you look so unwell? Did you get hurt just
now? Come, let this humble subject take a closer look at you." Xu Que
then walked up to her, his face was full of concern.
"Eh?"
Su Yun Lan regained her senses and snapped back from her thoughts,
only to realize that Xu Que’s face was almost touching hers. This gave
her a fright as she jumped back, startled. Her face became more pale as
she took another step back nervously and shook her head, "Alright...
Alright… I’m alright!"
"How can you be alright? Look at the color of your cheeks. This is a
clear sign that you’ve lost blood. Truth be told, this humble subject is a
Medical Deity!"
"Ah? Didn’t you say you were a Food Deity earlier?" A younger gi rl
asked, clearly surprised.
Xu Que waved his hands to brush her off, "Food Deity was just a part
time job for me. My primary occupation is still to rescue the sick and
cure the ill and save the entire world. At the same time, to flirt whenever
I can."
"Flirt? What do you mean by that?" Su Yun Lan asked in suspicion.
(T/N : The word for flirt in chinese is 撩妹 which accurately translates to

tease women. However, this is a colloquial term, hence Su Yun Lan
didn’t understand it.)
"Flirt means to cure sick women. Come, Sect Leader Su, let this humble
subject tease… Cough cough. Let this humble subject take a closer look
at your wounds!"
"Wait... Wait, wait. I really am not wounded. There aren’t any wounds!
Many thanks for friend Xu’s concern." Su Yun Lan pa nicked as she took
several more steps backwards, afraid that Xu Que would start getting
touchy with her.
Xu Que then gave a fierce look as he shook his head, "Sect Leader Su,
whatever you said isn’t accurate at all. If this humble subject remembers
correctly, you have a gash in between your legs. It’s about 5 inches
long! The wound runs deep as well. I suspect that when the deities
made you, they left a wound there. If Sect Leader Su wishes to heal the
wounds, she would need the sun’s pole and dew. Coincid entally, this
humble subject has the mentioned items after a missed step during his
cultivation. Since we met by rare fate and under such circumstances, I
shall be willing to help with the healing of your wounds and to patch it
up. I will only charge 3 spirit stones per session. It would take 5
sessions to become a single treatment period. We would need 10
treatment periods to ensure you recover fully!"
"Ah?" Su Yun Lan was extremely confused by Xu Que’s stream of

words.
"What? Sect Leader is really hurt? !" The young disciple shouted out in
shock as she looked down at the Sect Leader’s body.
The rest of them were taken aback as well.

After some time passed, the atmosphere froze.
The few female disciples, including Su Yun Lan realized what was
happening and their faces all turned red.
"You… You…" Su Yun Lan was extremely shy but offended as she
looked at Xu Que. After stuttering for almost half a day, she still had no
retort for Xu Que.
With such beautiful and delicate features, she would have definitel y
been teased and hit on by many of those disciples from the dark and evil
sects. However, she had never been spoken to so shamelessly by
anyone else before. Besides, he spoke all these explicit and shameful
words with such a confident and upright tone, th at she almost fell for it
as well!
"Perverted wastrel!"
Su Yun Lan frowned and sulked for half a day before managing to only
speak these words. She then glared at Xu Que hatefully before stepping
atop her flying sword and soaring into the sky.
The rest of them forced some laughs with Xu Que, without speaking.
Some moments ago, he was a heroic fighter who slaughtered all the evil
sect members fearlessly and effortlessly. In the blink of an eye however,
he transformed into a sweet talking scoundrel with p erverted intentions.
Everyone was caught off guard by his change in demeanor and neither
knew whether to laugh or cry.
What on earth? What kind of person was this?
49 Not Willing

Chapter 49: Not Willing
After Su Yun Lan left, the pair of Great Change Sect Elders invited Xu
Que to their sect as a guest as if they had intentions to establish a good
relationship with him.
Since it was difficult to reject such a proposal, Xu Que followed the few
of them to Wind City.
Along the way, Xu Que understood that Wind City was quite some
distance away from Celestial Sect. Even if they rode atop their flying
swords, it would take them at least 2 to 3 days.
However, since Celestial Sect was a big sect and was destroyed
extensively over a single night, news had spread like wildfire. Xu Que’s
reputation soared as a result of the destruction of Celestial Sect and
Fallen Spirits Sect.
From the few Great Change Sect disciples, Xu Que found out that the
Celestial Sect had indeed been completely destroyed. They no longer
own a prestigious and mighty reputation.
Sect Leader of Celestial Sect, Zhang Dan Shan went out in search for
Xu Que but failed to locate him after half a month. It’s been rumoured
that he developed demons within his heart and thus forced himself into
secluded meditation. Instead of attempting to restore the prestige of the
Celestial Sect, they lost their powerful Infant Transformation Stage
leader.
Added to the known fact that Elder Sun collaborated with Fallen Spirits
Sect to attack an innocent village, the Celestial Sect came under verbal
attacks from many other cultivation sects. This caused the remaining
Original Infant Stage cultivators to wash their hands off the matter and
leave the sect since they couldn’t handle the pressure any longer. The
sect thus fell to the hands of the junior elite members.
It was a pity that innate talents and gifts weren’t the only factors in
ensuring a successful cultivation. The presence of treasures and
precious pills were necessary to boost a person’s cultivation as well.
Without the Original Infant Stage cultivators to refine pills for the sect,
the resources within Celestial Sect were depleting at an alarming rate.
Since the sect was now unable to provide monthly pills to its disciples,
many people couldn’t take it anymore and started leaving. The disciples
with better innate abilities were snatched up by other s ects.
To many of these cultivators, time was extremely valuable. Should they

continue wasting time at a bleak, futureless sect, even if they had
extremely rare innate talents, they would end up being cultivation
failures!
So within a short span of time, Celestial Sect lost most of their disciples.
All it took was for Zhang Dan Shan to disappear and the entire sect sunk
further into a desolate future.
However, for Infant Transformation Stage cultivators to go into secluded

meditation, it would take at least several years and could take up to
several hundreds years. The number was highly dependent on many
variables.
Xu Que and several Great Change Sect disciples were talking along the
way until they finally reached their destination.
Great Change Sect used to be an extremely prestigious and strong sect

several hundred years ago. It could even match up to Celestial Sect’s
might at its peak. However, since Su Yun Lan’s grandfather, the first
Sect Leader, disappeared, the entire sect’s prestige fell drastically.
Su Yun Lan relied on her extraordinary innate talents and the vast
amount of resources at her disposal to cultivate up to her current stage.
In just a short span of 20 years, she reached the Original Infant Stage
and thus took the helm of the Sect Leader position after.
Her father had died in a massive war several years back. The entire
Great Change Sect thus relied heavily on her and the pair of Sect Elders
to uphold the entire sect. Their days were difficult and rough.
This fact was evident to Xu Que at the very first minute after stepping
through the doors of Great Change Sect.
Many of the houses within their stronghold were broken down and old. It
was clear that it had been many years since their last renovation.
Several backyards were full of dried leaves and the numerous cobwebs
shows how long it’s been uncared for.
The total number of disciples within the sect amounted to around 20 or

slightly more. The highest among them were the 6 cultivators Xu Que
met within the Withered Bones Forests who were of the Golden Core
Stage. Most of the other disciples were either in their Foundation
Building Stage or Core Bearing Stage.
Xu Que came with the status of a guest and thus used the false name of
"Xiao Yan" and was given a house with a yard to liv e in. The pair of Sect
Elders and the 6 disciples didn’t reveal his true identity to the rest of the
disciples.
This idea was suggested by Xu Que. With his current reputation, Great
Change Sect might be dragged into unnecessary trouble if word spread
that Xu Que was a guest to them.
Besides, he was only going to stay here temporarily for 2 days. After
which, he planned to return to Withered Bones Forest to kill more
demonic beasts.
At this point, he was already in the 9th level of the Golden Core Stage.
He was only missing 1,200,000 experience points before he could
ascend to the next level. Hence, he had to kill 6 Original Infant Stage
beasts and he would become a full foundation Golden Core Stage
cultivator. When that happens, he will get the solution t o reviving Xiao
Rou!
On the first night in which he stayed at Great Change Sect, everything
was quiet and still.
Xu Que laid down on the mattress as he stared out of the window,

watching the beautiful moon and pondered the meaning of life.
Actually, he was just extremely bored and couldn’t get to sleep. He was
seriously deliberating with himself if he should go out and catch several
chickens to roast for a good supper.
Just as he was pondering over his circumstances, a faint fragrant aroma

wafted in the air as the wind carried the scent to his nostrils.
Xu Que sat up and focused, for he noticed a shadow standing right

outside his window and was smiling at him!
If this was done by any other ordinary person, Xu Que would’ve scolded
the person with all the expletives he knew. Was he trying to act as a
ghost and scare him at this point?
The minute Xu Que laid his eyes on the shadow, he couldn’t find the
words to scold or say anything offensive because that person standing
outside his window was the Sect Leader of Great Change Sect, Su Yun
Lan!
Her poise and attractiveness was very apparent to Xu Que. She looked
exactly like an extraordinarily gorgeous looking goddess. Even if she
tried to dress as a ghost to scare him, it would have been impossible
due to how beautiful she is!
"Ay, Sect Leader Su, why aren’t you asleep?" Xu Que sat upright
immediately and started smiling at Su Yun Lan who was standing
outside.
At the same time, he felt surprised and curiosity welled up within his
heart. If this gorgeous looking Sect Leader isn’t sleeping at this hour,
what is she doing here?
Oh shit. Did she come here for me to cure her illness?
Just thinking about how he teased this beautiful Sect Leader earlier in
the day caused Xu Que immense happiness and satisfactio n.
Su Yun Lan just laughed plainly, her eyes glimmered and her teeth were
pearly white. Her fair complexion didn’t have a single blemish, neither
did she look capable of anger. Instead, she looked extremely forgiving
and magnanimous, as though she had completely forgotten about the
incident earlier today.
"Fellow friend Xu is humorous. After cultivating to the level which you

and I are in, why do we still need to sleep?" She asked softly.
Xu Que paused for sometime before reacting to her words.
It looks like in all the comics and novels which he had read in his
previous life, the immortal cultivators seldom had to sleep. All they
needed to do was sit down cross legged and meditate to feel rested.
It’s just that the way he gained levels was different from everyone else.
All he needed was experience points to increase his cultivation level!
"Is there a reason for Sect Leader Su’s visit? Why don’t you come in and
take a seat and drink some tea!"
Xu Que looked at her standing outside as she hesitated with regards to

his request, causing him to laugh out loud.
Su Yun Lan then waved a hand subtly, "There’s no need. I just wanted
to talk briefly with my daoist friend Xu. I can do it from here."
Xu Que’s lips quivered slightly. What do you mean you can do it from
here? Didn’t I invite you in to sit? Do you really think I would eat you up
if you came in?
On second thought, he decided that she had a reason for not coming in
and decided not to say that.
Clearly, this sect leader was a proper woman with noble bi rth and
upbringing and was a maiden too. If she were to enter a random
person’s house in the middle of the night, that would dishonor her and it
would be hard to hear the end of those rumours.
Ai, something didn’t feel right too. For her to come looking for me in the
middle of the night. That’s strange. Xu Que shook his head gently
without speaking.
Su Yun Lan didn’t see his expression as she turned around and admired
the sky. She then asked softly, "Daoist friend Xu, what plans do you
have for yourself after today?"
Xu Que paused once again as he answered her with several doubts,

"After today? After today I would continue roaming everywhere under
the heavens and saving the world and flirting around to the best of my
abilities!"
Of course, the first thing he would do was to revive Xiao Rou!
"Have daoist friend Xu ever thought of settling down? For example,

finding a good sect to settle down in and leading and training disciples
everyday comfortably. You wouldn’t need to kill everyday and live in
hatred any longer!" Su Yun Lan spoke softly to him.
Xu Que raised an eyebrow before understanding what she meant.
So this beautiful girl came around to beat around the bush with the
intention of recruiting me to her sect!
He couldn’t help but feel elated as he laughed and asked her, "Sect
Leader Su, are you inviting me to join your sect?"
Su Yun Lan trembled slightly as she turned around, her face was all
smiles as she nodded her tiny head.
"Not bad. The reason I came here to impose on you, is indeed to ask my
daoist friend Xu to join Great Change Sect and take on the responsibility
of becoming a Sect Elder. I wonder if you willing?"
"I don’t want to." Xu Que shook his head in response.
50 I Have An Idea!
Chapter 50: I Have An Idea!


The system rang out within Xu Que’s mind.
Su Yun Lan stood outside his window and paused in shock. She didn't
expect Xu Que to flat out reject her this way.
"I wonder if my Daoist friend Xu can tell me the reason for his answer?"
She asked warily.
Reason?
Damn... Do you expect me to tell you that the reason was because I
have to kill many more people and demonic beasts in order to increase
my level? Or should I say that I need to continue acting tough in order to
become rich? If I agree to stay here, won't that me an that I'm contented
with falling behind?
What a joke. Do I, Xu Que, look like someone who’s contented with

falling behind and remaining stagnant?
Nobody can ever stand between me and acting tough!
With these thoughts in mind, Xu Que’s face still emitt ed a radiant smile
as he replied, "Talents and success are rewards of hard work and
constant pursuit. A good and proper man knows this and would do as
such. I've been to the four corners of the world and I enjoy my
adventures tremendously. Sect Leader aske d me to stay behind and be
a Sect Elder. That would be equivalent to breaking my wings and
crippling me."
Su Yun Lan was dumbfounded. She was clearly in shock.
Talents and success are rewards of hard work and constant pursuit. A
good and proper man knows this and would do as such!
What an interesting thing to say!
"It surprised me that Daoist friend Xu is so elegant and refined in

speech. Looks like I was presumptuous and blunt. Since my friend Xu
objects, I shouldn't force him as well." Su Yun Lan gave a bitter smile,
her eyes exhibited confusion.
She initially thought that Xu Que was just a glib tongued, lazy rogue
cultivator but wasn't a bad person. Besides, she knew that he was quite
powerful as well. If only he would agree to stay here in Great Cha nge
Sect, he would probably be able to lift the sect to new heights.
She didn't expect to hear such flowery and refined words from him as if
he was a poetic scholar of sorts, full of confidence in his linguistic
abilities. Especially that line about doing what was right as an upright
man, which really took her by surprise.

After receiving the system beep which sounded out in his head, he gave
a cheeky smile. He didn't expect that the common phrase used back in
his modern world was so uncommon here and even managed to impress
her. This was going to be good for acting tough.
He looked at Su Yun Lan and continued, "Sect Leader Su thinks too

highly of me. Actually, someone like me who's so unlimitedly cool and
outrageously stubborn is not suitable to stay here at a sect. Having me
around would bring problems to the Sect. Hence I have to kindly refuse
Sect Leader’s good intention."
"Chi-chi!" Su Yun Lan couldn't help but let out a soft giggle as she
covered her mouth.
Unlimitedly cool and outrageously stubborn?
She's never heard of anyone describing themselves that way. This Xu

Que was such a strange person.
She then continued, "My Daoist friend Xu is indeed not like an average
person. It's just that you seem like an outrageously stubborn person on
the surface but is warm on the inside. You're not cool or cold at all!"
"Aren't I cool? Oooh… Looks like I have to try walking down this ‘cool’
path in the future when meeting people. Being proud and cool is the first
requirement to acting tough!" Xu Que stroked his chin as he muttered to
himself.
Su Yun Lan looked at Xu Que with her eyes wide open as if she envied
Xu Que’s life and gave a deep sigh.
"Actually, I'm very envious of my daoist friend Xu’s free spirited life
without any worries or burdens. With the powerful skills he possesses,
he can truly roam the four corners of the earth!"
Xu Que paused for a second before his eyes lit up. He then sat straight
and replied her, "You can do that too. Being a Sect Leader doesn't mean
you have to be cooped up here within the confines of the Sect. That
would be so boring. Come, let's go on an touring adventure together. I
shall bring you. And you can bring the silver."
"An impromptu adventure?" Su Yun Lan mumbled to herself. She was

clearly shaken by his request and even looked tempted to agree.
She then regained her senses and forced a laugh before shaking her
head, "How good would it be if I could just leave everything behind and
go! But apart from myself, there are still the other 2 Elders who have
been helping me hold the fort. Even with the 3 of us working tirelessly,
things aren’t easy. If I do leave, I’m afraid the Elders won’t be able to
handle the Sect by themselves."
"How can that be? I realized that your… cough, cough. Don’t mind my
straightforwardness, but I realized that you don’t have many disciples
around as well. And your days are pretty simple." Xu Que replied her
curiously.
"That’s just how it appears on the surface. But there will always be
someone from the demonic sects coming around to cause some
disturbances. Once we chase an entire horde away, another group will
appear and cause problems."
"Oh?" Xu Que seemed to be extremely interested as his eyes gleamed,

"Are there many people coming here to create trouble?"
As soon as he heard Su Yun Lan mention members of the demonic

sects coming over to bully them, Xu Que immediately thought of all the
experience points he would gain by destroying th em and was extremely
excited.
"Yes. There are many of them but they won’t really attack us as well.
Most of them would go away after we give them some spirit stones." Su
Yun Lan replied casually.
Xu Que sneered at her response. Shit! That’s as good as collecting

protection fee. Seems like the people of the demonic sects has it good?
"Around what cultivation level are those people who come around?" Xu
Que pressed.
Su Yun Lan looked at Xu Que in slight hesitation and curiosity as if she

couldn’t understand why he was asking these questions. But she
answered him anyway, "Most of the time, there will be one or two
Original Infant Stage cultivators and several more Golden Core Stage
disciples. Daoist friend Xu, why are you asking these questions for?"
"Haha! It’s nothing!" Xu Que laughed and brushed her question away
with the wave of his hand.
However, the eager expression and happiness written across his face
gave him away and Su Yun Lan seemed to guess something was amiss.
Her face changed before she hurriedly spoke, "My friend Xu, please
don’t be rash. These people belong to the demonic sects of Wind City
and their whereabouts are always unknown. If you kill a horde of them,
more will appear in their place. Even if you are able to kill all of them,
Great Change Sect will be in danger."
"What are you afraid of? Every time a new wave comes, we shall kill the
entire wave of them." Xu Que replied her fearlessly.
Su Yun Lan looked at him in the eye before continuing, "If daoist friend
Xu agrees to stay behind and be an Elder, I won’t be worried or afraid.
But since you are leaving, how can we defend ourselves against wave
after wave of evil sects attacks!"
"That's true!" Xu Que nodded his head in agreement. He knew that Su

Yun Lan had a point as well. If he we re to offend the demonic sects by
killing the first wave of them and leave after that, Great Change Sect
would surely be in trouble.
However, if he could find a way to make Great Change Sect stronger,

then it would rid his worry.
Meanwhile, Xu Que called out for the system in his head and entered
the system stores.
He then asked the system, "What can increase the fighting capabilities
of a sect and can also be given to someone else?"
At first, he thought that giving them a protective spell would be the most
appropriate. However, he realized that whatever item he bought from
within the store could only be used by him. That was why he asked that
question.
Before long, the system store let out a white flash of light before
displaying several items.
Xu Que looked at the items and were taken aback. All those items were
blueprints!
He then looked clearly and read the words and descriptions of the
blueprints before bursting out in laughter.
This caused Su Yun Lan who was beside him to jump in shock.
She initially noticed that Xu Que was in a daze. She wanted to ask what
he was thinking about when he started laughing out all of a sudden,
giving her no time to react.
"Friend… Friend Xu, what’s wrong with you?"
Xu Que’s entire face displays his happiness as he climbed over the

window and hugged Su Yun Lan in elation. "Sect Elder Su, I have an
idea to prevent the Demon Sect from harassing your sect and at the
same time, make Great Change Sect the strongest sect within the whole
Wind City."
Su Yun Lan couldn’t react in time to prevent Xu Que from hugging her
as she lost the color in her face and tried to break free from his
embrace.
The minute she heard his words, her heart skipped a beat. With an
astonished face, she looked at him and asked, "What… What did you
say?"
51 Date Night To See The Cannon!

Chapter 51: Date Night To See The Cannon!
‘Prevent Demon Sect from harassing your sect and at the same time,
make Great Change Sect the strongest sect within the whole Wind City.’
The minute she heard these words, Su Yun Lan had no way of
maintaining her composure.
If anyone else aside from Xu Que had said it, Su Yun Lan wouldn’t have
paid much attention to the person. In fact, she will probably assume that
he was crazy.
Yet, since these words were spoken by Xu Que, Su Yun Lan had no way
of ignoring it.
From her point of view, Xu Que was almost half a lunatic.
Everything that she’s heard about this young man from start to finish
was all the crazy and unbelievable things he had done. Some even
sounded like miracles.
When he was in the Core Bearing Stage, he single handedly obliterated

the entire Fallen Spirits Sect. Soon after, he wiped out and destroyed
Celestial Sect. Xu Que killed an Original Infant Stage cultivator right
under the nose of the Infant Transformation Stage leader. He then
proceeded to wreck all the infrastructure of the sect before escaping.
Half a month later, he appeared in Withered Bones Forest in the Golden

Core Stage and single handedly killed the entire Blood River Sect as
well.
And finally now, he spoke about raising Great Change Sect and making
it the best sect in the whole Wind City. Su Yun Lan’s first thought was…
"Was this person going to kill all the sects in Wind City?"
After hearing this, Su Yun Lan broke free from Xu Que’s embrace and
took several steps back. She then exhaled deeply, a severe look was
etched on her face, "This… Friend Xu… You… Remain Calm!"
You want me to remain calm?
Xu Que then came back to his senses.
After hearing such a piece of good news, shouldn’t she be overjoyed?

Why would she ask me to calm down?
Damn it, I sustained some severe losses. I’ve just spent more than a
hundred act tough points to purchase the blueprints and I didn’t even
get a kiss from her? I only managed to get a few seconds worth of hugs.
Just thinking of this is giving me low blood pressure!
"My friend Xu, I understand your good intentions. It’s just that, if we are
able to get rid of the worry that the demonic sects might harass us in the
future, that’s a good thing! Still, the other sects in Wind City are
innocent and I humbly plead for you to show them mercy!" At this point,
Su Yun Lan took a soft and tactful tone. What she meant was for Xu
Que to not harm the rest of the proper and upright sects.
When Xu Que heard this, he was evidently confused, "Sect Leader Su,
what are you talking about?"
"I…"
"Forget it, forget it. Actually, this is what’s happening. I have a blueprint
here which can help create a legendary weapon to help you defend
Great Change Sect. That way, when they come to create problems, you
can be at ease. At the same time, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can
take the legendary weapon with you to go out and fight. I assure you
that you shall be successful in every battle!" Xu Que then withdrew the
blueprints and handed it over to Su Yun Lan.
Su Yun Lan froze as she heaved a sigh of relief. So she was mistaken.
This Xu Que didn’t want to go on another killing rampage. Instead, he
just wanted to give her a weapon.
This was a good arrangement too. It’s just that, how strong was this
weapon? It could help to defend against the demonic sects and could
still fight battles on other fronts?
Su Yun Lan started to feel curious as she received the blueprints and
took it over slowly.
Xu Que gave a weak smile as he took the opportunity to touch the soft
and white hands of Su Yun Lan.
In actual fact, the blueprint which he took out was called the God
Powered Cannon. This particular weapon had one of the most advanced
technologies within the cultivation realm and was a powerful weapon. It
costed Xu Que an entire 120 act tough points to purchase.
As long as the instructions on the blueprints were followed, it would be

able to construct the entire cannon which could be used by someone
else apart from the host!
Of course, the might of this God Powered Cannon was frightening.

Every single shot fired out would cost a small amount of spirit stones,
but could emit the force dealt by an Original Infant Stage cultivator. If
enough quantities were fired, it could even reach the amount of force
dealt by an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator.
The most important thing was that Xu Que had to create the entire
cannon by himself. Then, regardless of who was the one who fired the
cannon, as long as people were killed by it, the experience points would
all go to Xu Que. That was probably one of the main reason why he
chose this weapon in the first place.
Then, no matter where he goes after this, as long as the Great Change
Sect commands this God Powered Cannon to kill their enemies, he
would always get experience points withou t having to do anything. This
was an extremely good purchase!
The moment Su Yun Lan laid her eyes on the blueprints, all the curiosity
within her eyes vanished. She then smiled and looked at Xu Que,
"Daoist friend Xu, such… Such a common cannon might not be of great
use, right?"
Common cannon?
You must be kidding. How can a regular common cannon compare to

this?
Xu Que was upset. He pointed at the blueprint and spoke, "Sect Leader
Su, please look closely. This is the God Powered Cannon. A single low
grade spirit stone would enable it to fire 10 artillery rounds. Every single
round is as strong as as Original Infant Stage attack. If I were to make
10 of these wondrous cannons, your Great Change Sect would no longer
have any enemies. Even the Infant Transf ormation Stage cultivators
won’t dare to antagonize you."
"Gulp…" Su Yun Lan’s expression froze before she forced a smile. She
clearly didn’t believe Xu Que’s words.
In this particular cultivation world, she’s never heard of any weapon that
could be so strong and even one that could be operated just by using a
single low grade spirit stone. Besides, every single round was akin to
the force wielded by an Original Infant Stage cultivator? How could that
be possible? That was something only spoken about in myths and
legends!
Furthermore, immortal weapons would require the use of core strength.

In addition, only extraordinary immortals would be able to forge such a
strong weapon. How could it be created just by any other junior
cultivator!
However, she felt that it might not be polite to tell Xu Que that for fear
that it might cause him to lose face. She decided against returning the
blueprint back to Xu Que and spoke out, "Friend Xu, since that’s the
case, I would have to trouble you. Whatever materials you require, as
long as it exists within my sect, please just help yourself!"
Her demeanor wasn’t due to the fact that she was generous but because
her Great Change Sect was in extremely poor position. There was
nothing valuable left within their treasure rooms which was why she
gave Xu Que the authority to take anything he required.
Fortunately, this God Powered Cannon didn’t require any precious or

expensive material. All it required was a large amount of black iron. The
rest of the complicated charms required were given after buying the
blueprints. At this point, he already had the necessary resources to
create 4 or 5 full cannons!
At last, Xu Que received a tile from Su Yun Lan which showed her
authority within the sect. He then hurriedly left for the treasure room.
Since he couldn’t fall asleep and since he was rushing for time, he might
as well start working on it now.
Black iron was the material that was required to create flying swords.
Hence, there were copious amounts of black iron within the treasure
room of Great Change Sect.
The moment Xu Que entered the room, he started shifting the black iron
around without speaking a word. This caused the disciples who were
guarding the room to be stumped at his actions.
At last, Xu Que returned to his small yard. He was too lazy to even
search for the smelting furnace and just conjured his own core strength
from within his body as all the black iron floated in front of him.
Soon after, a green tinged fire emitted out from his palms. That was the
Molten Green Lotus spell which he used to wrap around all the floating
black iron. Instantaneously, it started to burn.
Following the instructions of the blueprint, Xu Que used the mystical fire
and turned the black iron into molten form and removed the impuritie s
from it. This process took several hours.
He was busy at work all the way till daylight. Finally, he created a
complete dark and pure black dark iron in liquid form.
Soon after, he started shaping the molten liquid as it began to solidify

and take the form of the God Powered Cannon as how it was described
in the blueprint.
The minute the cannon started solidifying, he hurriedly retrieved a pair

of stone slabs which had inscriptions written all around it and placed it
right at the center of the entire cannon. These slabs were given free
with the purchase of the cannon.
Placing the wooden slab of inscriptions within the cannon was akin to
installing a microchip within the computer. It was the heart of activity
within the device. Xu Que handled it with ea se.
Several hours later, it was almost in the evening where the entire sky
was painted red with the setting sun.
The very first God Powered Cannon was successfully created!
The entire cannon was about a meter tall and was a deep shade of
matte black. There were also many golden inscriptions scribbled across
the body of the cannon, which gave it a mystical aura!
He realize that he didn’t even have the time to try it out. Xu Que
hurriedly called for a Great Change Sect disciple and asked him to call
the Sect Leader and the 2 Sect Elders over to come and take a look.
The disciple ran over and saw the cannon sitting in the backyard of Xu
Que’s accommodation and gave a strange expression. He seemed to be
half smiling and yet didn’t dare to laugh out loud.
A normal looking cultivator had actually created a weapon which bore

resemblance to that being used in military camps. He even decorated it
until it looked like a treasure. If word were to spread, everyone would
start laughing at the incredulity of it all.
However, Xu Que was given the lofty status as a distinguished guest.
Hence, the disciple did all he could to suppress his laugh. He then
spoke out, "Daoist friend, when we meet the Sect Leader and Sect
Elders, we all have to write a note to them first indicating the reason for
the meet."
"What play thing is that? We have to write a note before we meet them?
What kind of silly idea is that!" Xu Que frowned. A small sect like this
has such bureaucracies and formalities. Even the huge Celestial Sect
didn’t make things so complicated!
The disciple hurriedly saluted and explained, "Daoist friend is mistaken.

Throughout history, our Sect Leader and Sect Elders always lived within
the Secret Library of the Sect. This Secret Library had a ton of
restrictive enchantments which prevented any unauthorized people from
entering. The only way for them to gain entry was to be given an access
tile. These tiles were only carried around by the Sect Leader and the
Sect Elders. Therefore, whenever we request to meet them, we have to
send a note in to inform them. Our Sect Leader hated this entire process
as well and wanted to change the procedure but was unable to remove
the restrictive enchantments. At this point, everyone can’t do anything
because the restrictive spells were placed by our patriarchs."
"So, that’s why." Xu Que then nodded his head subtly and replied, "Fine
then. Help me write a note and be quick."
"Sure. Can I trouble my daoist friend to read out what you wish for me to
write and I shall write it down accordingly." The disciple retrieved a
silver piece of paper and spoke to Xu Que.
Xu Que stroke his chin as he mumbled, "Write… My dear… cough,

cough... Forget it. Write, ‘Sect Leader Su, there’s a handsome and cool
young man who wishes to ask you out on a date tonight to see the God
Powered Cannon!’"
"Gulp..." The disciple froze as if he encountered some difficulties,

"Daoist friend, look at how small the piece of paper is. The number of
words I can write is limited. Can you make the message more concise?"
"Concise?" Xu Que thought for some time before replying, "Then write,
‘Sect Leader Su, a handsome and cool young man wishes to ask you out
on a date tonight to see a cannon!’"
"Can you make it more concise?"
"You want it to be more concise?" Fine. Then jus t write, ‘Sect Leader
Su, date night to see cannon!’"
"That’s good. My daoist friend is really elegant with his words. Oh, there
is a requirement to write the name of the person who wishes to see the
Sect Leader as well. How should I address you?"
"This humble subject is… Cannon Deity!"
52 Frightening and Destructive Power
Chapter 52: Frightening and Destructive Power

The night sky was dark and was full of bright stars. The night breeze
was gently blowing from the mountains behind the Great Change Sect.
Xu Que stood atop the mountain where a large black cannon stood
beside him. Both his hands were placed behind his back as his robes
flapped about in the wind. He looked far across at a tall tree on the
mountain opposite him and gazed in that direction.
That would be the target he would use to test his God Powered Cannon.
The strength of an Original Infant Cultivator was clearly not one to trifle
with. Xu Que intentionally brought the cannon up this mountain so that it
would fire into an open space. Should it accidentally fire towards Great
Change Sect, it might flatten the entire sect domain. Then, Su Yun Lan
would definitely bite him to death!
At this time, Su Yun Lan, the pair of Sect Elders and several disciples in
their Golden Core Stage were rushing up.
This beautiful looking Sect Leader begrudgingly went all the w ay to see
this cannon. As for the God Powered Cannon which took a single day to
build, she was extremely skeptical about it. She was somewhat sure that
Xu Que was just pulling her leg and playing around with her.
The pair of Sect Elders gave strange expre ssions to each other upon
finding out that Xu Que had built a cannon for them.
Along the way, one of the Elders asked, "Sect Leader Su, I heard
reports from one of the disciples who was guarding the treasure room.
He said that Xu Que had taken away all of our black iron. Could it be
because of this cannon?"
"Right! I promised him that whatever materials he required, he should

just help himself." Su Yun Lan maintained a stoic expression as she
nodded her head gently.
The pair of Sect Elders froze as they were crying deep down without any
tears showing.
"That... That’s all the black iron we own!"
"Although it’s not considered rare, the price of it was still expensive.
Letting it go to waste like that is really… Ai, forget it!"
The both of them sighed.
Most people felt that a common cannon used in military camps wouldn’t
be able to do much damage against cultivators in this world. No matter
how it was modified, it would just be a common spell at best.
For this reason, when all of them scaled the mountain to view Xu Que’s
cannon, they all came with the idea of just ‘watching fireworks’. They
took it as just a celebratory view for defeating the Blood River Sect.
The only person who was quiet was Su Yun Lan. Based on the way she
saw it, wasting all the black iron wasn’t a big deal. The thing that
affected her the most was Xu Que’s sincerity in wanting to help Great
Change Sect. This touched her to a certain degree.
All these years of being a Sect Leader, she felt extremely exhausted.
Today, Xu Que was willing to help her and share the burden of
protecting the sect. Regardless of how effective the weapon was,
knowing that someone shared her worry was a sort of consolation to
her.
Before long, Su Yun Lan and the entire group of people reached the
peak of the mountain.
Seeing Xu Que standing next to the pitch black cannon with golden
inscriptions, everyone was left speechless.
Xu Que couldn’t be bothered about their expressions as he leapt over to

the side eagerly and asked them, "There wouldn't be any consequences
if I fired this cannon over to the next mountain right?"
"Not a problem. There’s nobody living on that mountains, maybe just a

couple of roaming beasts. Give it a shot, friend Xu." Su Yun Lan replied
him plainly.
The pair of Elders nodded their heads gingerly as well. Although it was
clear that they were distracted and uninterested in the normal looking
cannon.
They were thinking about how everyone understood and knew the
powers of a regular cannon. Once the round was being fired, it would
cause a crater over at the other end. How much of a consequence could
there be!
"Good. I shall give it a shot then. The first ever round shall be fired from
this God Powered Cannon. Let us all witness it together!" Xu Que spoke
out ceremoniously as he walked towards the cannon.
All eyes fell upon him as he took a deep breath. In his heart, he was
excited knowing that this was the perfect time to act tough!
Immediately after reaching the cannon, he opened a small flap on the

side of the cannon. He then retrieved a storage ring which he had
acquired from one of the Original Infant Stage cultivators he had killed
previously and took out a low grade spirit stone from within the storage
ring.
The spirit stones were dazzling under the moonlight and were
transparent. He inserted them into the opened flap on the cannon.
The pair of Sect Elders gave a surprised "ai" sound. Weren’t cannons
supposed to be fitted with gunpowder and artillery rounds first before
igniting the wick attached to the gunpowder? They’ve never seen
anyone placing spirit stones within the cannon.
Su Yun Lan paused in surprise as well. She then thought about the
words spoken out by Xu Que last night. This was a cannon which
consumed spirit stones!
"Don’t tell me… Whatever he said was true?" Su Yun Lan thought all of
a sudden but was immediately suppressed by her logical self. She felt
that it was impossible and didn’t dare to believe that it was true as well.
Whatever he said was too outrageous and preposterous!
"Smack!" Xu Que clapped his palms together, his fingertips were

touching each other as his fingers started dancing in a strange and
complicated ritual.
At the same time, a golden ray of energy was being emitted as it

wrapped around his hands. It was almost as if a golden burst of flames
were burning his finger tips!
"Activate!"
Xu Que opened his eyes and shouted loudly. The golden embers were
still dancing atop his palms as he slapped it down upon the rear end of
the cannon.
"Weng!" The cannon gave off a sound which sounded like it wa s

vibrating. The numerous golden inscriptions around the cannons lit up in
bright gold light as it glimmered brightly on the dark mountain top. It
seemed to be getting brighter with each passing second.
"Ai… What’s happening?"
The pair of Sect Elders were clearly taken aback. This was nothing like
the ordinary looking cannon they knew of!
Su Yun Lan’s tiny mouth was opened wide, her face was full of shock.
At the same time, the golden inscriptions had reached their maximum
brightness. The entire cannon was shrouded in golden light as it
illuminated the dark night sky around them.
"Boom!"
Soon after, the bright golden light transformed into a single beam of
light as it exploded out from the cannon and shot towards the mountain.
The entire night sky turned into a flash of white which hurt all their eyes
due to how blinding it was. Su Yun Lan and the rest of them couldn’t
help but shut their eyes.
"Boom-doom!"
At the next moment, an earth splitting sound rang out from the cannon
beside them. It was so loud that it felt like their ears were going to
explode after they heard the ringing sounds.
When they opened their eyes, the bright white light seemed to have
become weaker and didn’t hurt as much as before.
When the entire group of them regained their s ight, they were
astounded!
The tall and huge mountain across them seemed like it had been sliced
off from the ground. The entire mountain disappeared from view, being
completely destroyed by the cannon.
Such terrifying powers were exhibited from the cannon. Even Su Yun
Lan and the rest of them wouldn’t have been able to do anything like
that. It was absolutely impossible!
That was a mountain. A huge mountain!
How could it be that with a single round, the entire mountain was
annihilated and reduced to just dust and ashes?
"Sect Leader Su, I have an idea which will prevent the evil demonic
sects from harassing your sect and at the same time, make Great
Change Sect the strongest sect within the whole Wind City."
"Sect Leader Su, please look closely. This is the God Powered Cannon.
A single low grade spirit stone would enable it to fire 10 artillery rounds.
Every single round is as strong as as Original Infant Stage attack…"
In that instant, Su Yun Lan could almost hear the words spoken by Xu
Que previously. Every single sentence and word were punctuated
clearly within her ears.
Su Yun Lan completely fell into a daze.
If the previous time, when Xu Que single handedly killed so many

Original Infant Stage cultivator caused her so much worry and stress,
she could still handle it. For in such a huge world, there would always
be geniuses and people who were unnaturally strong.
But whatever she saw at this point, she couldn’t believe!
He spent a single night!
And he relied on solely a piece of blueprint!
With a mound of black iron, he could create a cannon which could strike
with the force of an Original Infant Stage cultivator!
How does one accept that!?
53 Disturbance From The Demonic Sects
Chapter 53: Disturbance From The Demonic Sects


The system rang out within Xu Que’s mind but he didn’t pay it any mind.
After seeing the devastating effects of the God Powered Cannon, even
he was taken aback and was clearly shocked.
Damn it! Such destructive capabilities. If I had known abou t this, I

would’ve used this earlier on in the Withering Bones Forest and blown
up all the Original Infant Stage cultivators. I would’ve gotten several
hundred thousand experience points easily, and would still be able to
act tough!
However, as much as the God Powered Cannon was very strong, it still
couldn’t compare to the might of the mystical fires.
Xu Que didn’t feel too regretful about not using this earlier. He glanced
around and faced the shocked Su Yun Lan and the rest of them. He
couldn’t help but grin.
Their reaction to the cannon blast was perfectly normal. After All, the
God Powered cannon was out of this world. In fact, it didn’t even belong
to this world or this era.
The system introduced this weapon as an extremely advanced

technology and came from an era where technical prowess were at its
peak. In other words, Xu Que had brought advancements from the future
into this olden day era.
The magnitude of shock and disbelief on their faces were

understandable. It was as good as bringing a moder n day person to the
olden days and showing them how to build an aircraft. The uncertainty in
their hearts must’ve been extreme.
Thankfully, the shock didn’t last for very long. Soon enough, Su Yun Lan
and the rest of them began to regain their senses. Xu Que squatted
down beside the God Powered Cannon and retrieved the remnants of
spirit stones from within the latch before sneakily putting it back into his
inventory space.
Everyone else : "..."
Didn’t it cost a low grade spirit stone to operate it? Why would you use it
once and still hope to keep the remaining fragments of the spirit stone?
Xu Que was already used to being looked at this way that he completely
ignored their bewildered and strange expressions. His face didn’t turn
red from embarrassment, neither was his heart beating unusually fast.
He wasn’t ashamed of keeping the remaining powdered -up spirit stones
and he looked as if nothing had happened. He smiled widely at the rest
of them.
"My fellow friends, are you satisfied with this humble subje ct’s God
Powered Cannon?’
"My friend Xu, this… is this God Powered Cannon was really created by
you?" Su Yun Lan’s eyes still had that look of sheer surprise.
"That’s right!" Xu Que blinked several times dazedly and nodded his
head in a smile.
"You only used a single night to build it?"
"Yes, that’s right!"
"And you only used those black iron?"
"Oh, that’s a slightly more complicated question. To put it simply, the

talisman within the cannon had the greatest use and is the most
important part. However, I haven’t been able to inscribe more talismans
and is thus limited on that. So, as of now, I can only build 2 more God
Powered Cannons for you!" Xu Que raised two long fingers up as he
spoke.
The minute these words were spoken, the Sect Leader and Sect Elders
seemed to jump in fright again.
A single God Powered Cannon was already so powerful and horrifying. If

they really possessed a pair of these cannons, who would dare to
harass Great Change Sect in the future?
Even if Blood River Sect wasn’t completely destroyed, the minute they
witness the destruction this cannon can bring, they would just hang their
heads and walk away.
This present was too valuable and expensive to the Great Change Sect
people and too shocking as well!
Su Yun Lan didn’t reject this huge gift.
Great Change Sect had been declining ‘till it couldn’t go any lower. It
was like a terminally ill patient. Xu Que’s God Powered Cannon was like
the saving pill to their disease.
After a long time of silence, Su Yun Lan looked at Xu Que and spoke
seriously, "My friend Xu, I will never forget your generosity. If you ever
find a use for Great Change Sect, please just ask! Even if it requires the
entire sect to be present, we won’t spare any effort in helping you."
"Many thanks daoist friend Xu!" The pair of elders and the rest of the
disciples hurriedly came around to give their thanks.
"You guys are making this to be a bigger deal than it is. You’re most
welcome. Besides, if anyone comes around looking for trouble in the
future, you can just use the cannons to kill them. Right, there’s a manual
here on how to conjure and use the cannon. I’ve already simplified it, go
and learn it!" Xu Que spoke generously.
He wanted the God Powered Cannon to be effective and kill many

people as well for he would earn tons of experience points this way.
Soon after, Xu Que and everyone else made their way down the
mountains, back to Great Change Sect.
Seeing that the sky was dark, Xu Que took this opportunity to quickly
build the other 2 God Powered Cannons and shifted them to the secret
library in Great Change Sect.
As for Great Change Sect, these 3 God Powered Cannons were

considered their trump card and most precious treasure. Hence, they felt
the need to guard it to the best of their abilities.
After the sky started turning bright signalling a new day, Xu Que walked
out of his yard alone and prepared to leave.
He had stayed in Great Change Sect for two days now and noticed that
nobody had come to cause problems. Apart from a little acting tough
here and there, he didn’t increase his experience points at all.
As a result, he decided to return to the Withered Bones Forest. He had

to kill six more Original Infant Stage demonic beasts before he could
attain the full foundation, level 10 of the Golden Core Stage. He would
then be able to upgrade his system and revive Xiao Rou.
Indeed, Xu Que’s luck was good. The moment he stepped out of his
yard, he could hear several Great Change Sect disciples scurrying
across in panic, their faces were nervous and afraid.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows and was about to ask what was happening.
He then heard someone shouting loudly from outside the entrance of the
sect.
"Sun Yun Lan, why haven’t you come out to welcome us?"
"Have you prepared the spirit stones for this month? "
"Why haven’t you come out? You’re slower than usual and making me
wait. Are you forcing me to attack you?"
"Su Yun Lan, there’s a limit to our patience. I shall give you the time it
takes to breath three times. In three breaths, if I don’t see the spirit
stones, don’t blame us for being cruel!"
"I should tell you that our leader has brought more people here this time.
I advise you to be honest and hand over your spirit stones obediently. If
not, you have to bear the consequences!"
These demonic sect’s people are really lawless!
Xu Que could hear the taunting tone in their voices. His face turned
angry.
At first, when Su Yun Lan mentioned that there would occasionally be

demonic sects coming to cause trouble, Xu Que didn’t think too much of
it because of how she downplayed it.
But now he heard first hand how aggressive and disrespectful they
were. He then understood how difficult it must have been for Su Yun Lan
being the Sect Leader all these years.
"Hm… since they offered themselves up to me, I have to use them as a

guinea pig for my cannons. Just as well that I need more experience
points." Xu Que cleared his throat before walking out.
There were 10 cultivators standing outside the entrance of the sect.

They were wearing black and red long robes. There were also a pair of
Original Infant Stage cultivators and the rest of them were of the Golden
Core stage.
The people who were responsible for being aggressive and arrogant
sounding were these Golden Core Stage cultivators.
Xu Que walked out and looked at the scene before him, causing his
pupils to dilate.
They were just a mere Golden Core Stage disciples and yet had the guts
to act this way? They completely relied on the strengths of the two
Original Infant Stage cultivator and could behave in such a disrespectful
manner towards an Original Infant Stage Sect Leader. This infuriated Xu
Que.
Xu Que hated people like these the most.
He walked out confidently, taking big strides as he furrowed his brows.

He then shouted out, "What are you yelling about? Who’s dog is this?
Why haven’t you leashed him up? So early in the morning and he’s
barking out here non-stop. Infuriating!"
The disciples from the evil demonic sect outside paused and glared
ferociously at Xu Que.
One of them laughed coldly, "Where did this little idiot came from? Shoo
to the side now and get that bitch of a Su Yun Lan to come out."
Xu Que sighed and shook his head, "Your dog mouth is extremely foul.
Maybe you shouldn't open it ever again!"
The minute the words were spoken, his shadow moved in a blur before a
bolt of lightning could be seen. He appeared next to the person in the
blink of an eye. Terrifying killing intent radiated out from him and
enveloped the entire area!
54 Bring Up The God Powered Cannon
Chapter 54: Bring Up The God Powered Cannon

Pu!
A dull thud echoed as the Golden Core Stage cultivator from demonic
sect flew high up into the sky.
Nobody had enough time to react. Not even the pair of Original Infant
Stage cultivators had anticipated that something like that would happen.
Xu Que’s speed was too quick as well. After he reached level 9 of the
Golden Core Stage coupled with the Lightning Haste Spell, he gained a
vast improvement from before.
Furthermore, with his current cultivation level and his Dark Buster
Sword, even without using the Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformation
spell, he could take on several Original Infant Stage cultivators.
With such powers, killing a Golden Core Stage level 5 demonic disciple
would only be too easy.
"Boom!"
At long last, the demonic disciple fell heavily to the ground. Blood
seeped out from his mouth and dyed the ground red. He died almost
instantaneously.
The dozen of demonic sects disciples were shocked as they started to

conjure their spells in a bid to retaliate.
However, nobody dared to make the first move. The fact that Xu Que
just killed a Golden Stage Cultivator within seconds severely startled
them. Right now, everyone threaded very carefully, not daring to do
anything.

Xu Que listened to the beeps in his head and smiled to himself as if

nobody was standing in front of him.
"Sou!" Several rays of light coursed through the sky.
It was Su Yun Lan and the pair of Sect Elders who had rushed over.
There were also several Golden Core Stage disciples behind, combining
strength to bring the God Powered Cannon over. They had confident
smirks across their faces.
After seeing the power of the God Powered Cannon, they were no
longer intimidated by the evil sects. In fact, they wanted to exact their
revenge upon them and kill these demonic faction disciples for harming
their own sect brothers.
As soon as they arrived, they saw Xu Que and the fallen demonic sect
disciple and were instantly taken aback.
Soon after, the few Great Change Sect disciples glanced towards the
demonic sect people standing out and looked at them with immense
sympathy.
You could’ve offended anyone else but you chose to offend this crazy
man. When he makes his move, he’s much more ruthless than anyone
from the demonic sect by a hundred times!
"Su Yun Lan, what’s the meaning of this? Are you trying to start a war
with Wind Chasing Sect?" Seeing Su Yun Lan and the rest of them
appear, an Original Infant Stage cultivator asked in a low voice, anger
was apparent within his eyes.
All these while, Great Change Sect were the number one target for
many of these demonic sects.
There were times when Great Change Sect put up some resistance and
were uncooperative. But they would often back down in the end due to
the increased threat and end up handing over their spirit stones.
Today was like any other collection day for the Wind Chasing Sec t.
Naturally, they never would've expected Xu Que to be around. They
came to pick on the soft and weak Great Change Sect but had one of
their members killed instead.
Su Yun Lan landed on the ground gracefully and ignored the disciples
from Wind Chasing Sect. She then looked at Xu Que with those
gorgeous eyes and smiled at him, "Many thanks to daoist friend Xu for
helping!"
"No problem! Such a small fly can be trampled upon by me any day." Xu
Que waved a hand and laughed.
The men of Wind Chasing Sect flew into rage.
That same Original Infant Stage cultivator glared at Xu Que coldly and
spoke in a strict tone, "So you're not from Great Change Sect! Our sect,
the Wind Chasing Sect, have no feud with you. Why would you kill one
of our disciples? Is it because you don't think highly enough of us? Or is
it that you wish to make an enemy out of us?"
His words were punctuated with threats!
Wind Chasing Sect was a huge and renowned sect within Wind City as
well. Although it couldn't be compared to Blood River Se ct, it definitely
wasn't small in terms of might. Almost nobody would dare to offend
them.
Therefore, the disciples of Wind Chasing Sect have developed a

particular habit. They would always like to mention the name of their
sect to intimidate people and issuing several more threats before
attacking them. All these were done to instill a sense of fear in them.
That even if you could overcome the few of them, you would never
overcome the mighty Sect behind them.
That’s why most of the time, like the Great C hange Sect in the past, the
weaker sects would always give into their demands and hand over spirit
stones in order to keep the peace.
This time, their methods failed to work.
Because they've met Xu Que!
Xu Que had never been one to be afraid of threats. Back then, not even
the Sect Leader of Celestial Sect could scare him, much less a mere
Wind Chasing Sect.
Under the watchful eyes of a few Wind Chasing Sect disciples, he

started stroking his chin, pretending to be deep in thought as he nodded
his head and spoke seriously, "I’ve thought about it. Indeed, it’s true that
I don’t think highly of you. Firstly, your sect’s name won’t do. Wind
Chasing Sect. Why don’t all of you go to the streets and take a good
look. Those people that chase after the wind are all second class idiots.
Clearly, this sect name is much worse than Exploding Heaven Sect.
Secondly, your sect’s strength is too weak as well. You can’t even
match up to Blood River Sect. How do you expect me to respect you?
Why don’t you tell me, isn’t that embarrassing?"
"..." Everyone paused in shock.
Soon after, a few disciples from Great Change Sect reacted and
clutched their tummies in uncontrollable laughter.
"Hahaha! This… This is really good. I can’t help but salute him!"
"These are logical words. I was never even curious about your sect’s
name. Now that I’ve heard about you, I thought about an entire group of
people chasing after the wind down a busy street and can’t help but
burst out in laughter..."
"Let’s not talk about this anymore. Aiyo, my tears are coming out from
all that laughing."
All the Great Change Sect disciples burst out in laughter. It wasn’t that
they were intentionally trying to mock Wind Chasing Sect. It’s just that
all these years, regardless of whatever situation they were in, they
would always shout out their sect’s name proudly with gusto to
intimidate others. And yet Xu Que dismantled their entire name just like
that. Just thinking about how they were shouting about chasing after the
wind made them start laughing. It was just too silly.
Su Yun Lan couldn’t help but smile as well. If it weren’t for the fact that
she had to maintain the dignity of a Sect Leader, she probably would’ve
burst out laughing as well.
She glanced at Xu Que, her beautiful eyes in all their splendour. She
then realized that not only was this Xu Que strong, he was fascinatingly
interesting as well.
Although Xu Que had only been within Great Change Sect for 2 days,
she felt as if these couple of days were more interesting than many of
her years combined.
...
The dozen of Wind Chasing Sect disciples opened their eyes in utter
shock.
Ever since the establishment of their sect, this was the first time
someone dared to openly mock and criticize them.
The sect was supposed to make them feel high and m ighty and strike
fear into the hearts of anyone who hear their name. However, after
being mocked in this way, they were extremely humiliated.
The faces of the pair of Original Infant Stage cultivators sank as their
eyes were afire with all that anger.
One of them glared at Xu Que through gritted teeth and shouted out,
"No matter who you are, Great Change Sect and yourself are doomed!
Wait for our Sect Leader to arrive and the entire day will be washed with
the blood of Great Change Sect. Not one of you will be spared!"
The voice echoed out throughout the entire sect domain.
"Outrageous!"
"My Great Change Sect is something you wish to be and should be." The
pair of Sect Elders from Great Change Sect retorted.
With the God Powered Cannon in their possess ion, they had the
strength and wouldn’t tolerate such an evil faction undermining them
again.
Su Yun Lan had the poise of a sect leader as she glared icily at them
and shouted out, "Within the span of 3 breaths, get lost from my sect
domain. If not, don’t blame me for…"
"Wait a second!"
Xu Que shouted out and looked at Su Yun Lan strangely before shouting
out, "Sect Leader Su, you can’t be serious about letting them go? How
can that do? Men, come and bring the God Powered Cannon up here. A
sect like Wind Chasing Sect shouldn’t ever exist any longer!"
The minute he spoke out, a chill ran up their spines as the Great
Change Sect burst out in bitter laughter.
Indeed, incurring the wrath of such a madman wouldn’t lead to anything

good. Look, he is going to obliterate yet another sect. Pitiful Wind
Chasing Sect...
55 One More Round Would Be Enough
Chapter 55: One More Round Would Be Enough

"Hm… what arrogance!"
Following that outburst, a tremendous and terrifying crushing pressure

could be felt descending from the skies.
Everyone present were astonished as they raised their heads to get a

look. Then they saw more than 10 shadows soaring towards Great
Change Sect on their flying swords.
The person leading the charge was of the Original Infant Stage, level 7.
He was a middle aged man with a crooked nose and a toad mouth and
was quite ugly looking. His appearance alone struck fear into the hearts
of the onlookers.
This person was the Wind Chasing Sect Leader, Gu Gang!
Behind him, there were numerous Core Bearing Stage disciples and
Golden Core Stage disciples. There were also a pair of Original Infant
Stage level 3 Elders with him.
Along with the two other people in front, there were a total of five
Original Infant Stage cultivators!
No wonder the Great Change Sect disciples were always willing to

submit to them. They probably didn’t want to engage in a bloody battle
in which they would lose over several spirit stones and cause their
entire sect to be wiped out.
Gu Gang led a group of people as they charged down menacingly.
Their eyes swept around in the crowd and locked onto Xu Que like a
venomous snake choosing its victim.
He then gave a cold laughter, "A mere Golden Core Stage junior actually
dared to blabber such atrocities. What’s that rubbish about my Wind
Chasing Sect not needing to exist? I’m afraid that whether or not we
exist is not up to a kid like you who hasn’t even grown any hair to
decide!"
"No. I am sorry but my hair has already grown!" Xu Que pointed at his
own head of hair as he replied seriously.
The entire Great Change Sect disciples were on the verge of breaking
out into laughter, their lips curled into a smile. He wasn’t even talking
about the hair on your head, why are you taking everything he says so
literally?
Clearly, the arrival of Gu Gang failed to make the Great Change Sect
disciples feel any sense of fear.
Just two days ago, Xu Que single handedly killed so many Blood River
Sect disciples in the Withered Bones Forest. The news of that massacre
probably hasn’t spread yet since almost nobody from Wind City knew
that Blood River Sect no longer existed.
However, the disciples of Great Change Sect knew about this. In fact,
they had witnessed the slaughter with their own eyes and had seen how
effortless he made it look!
Today, the Wind Chasing Sect who can’t even compare to Blood River
Sect came to cause some problems when Xu Que was around. The
disciples from Great Change Sect weren’t even anxious. In fact, they felt
pity for these evil factions who will soon die because of Xu Que.
"Pow!"
Xu Que pointed ahead and spoke to the few Golden Core Stage
disciples from Great Change Sect, "Bring me the God Powered Cannon.
I wish to demonstrate how to kill your enemies with this."
"Sure!"
Several Golden Core Stage disciples from Great Change Sect hurriedly
retrieved the God Powered Cannon and started pushing it over.
Su Yun Lan and the pair of Sect Elders remained expressionless,

without any intentions of stopping them.
All these years, they had been bullied way too much. Whenever their
disciples went into the Withered Bones Forest, they would always lose
their lives to these evil demonic factions. Apart from that, Great Change
Sect still had to give up their spirit stones once or twice a month. After
hearing Xu Que promise to annihilate their entire sect, Su Yun Lan and
the other Elders clearly won’t stop him.
The Wind Chasing Sect disciples watched on as the Great Change Sect
disciples pulled out a normal looking, black and dirty cannon. This
caused no small amount of surprise.
Immediately after the shocked pause, all the Core Bearing Stage
disciples couldn’t hold back their laughter.
"Hahaha! What on earth are they doing? They actually brought an entire
cannon out here."
"Are these Great Change Sect disciples stupid? This cannon is used by
normal citizens to fight wars. Why have they brought it out here?"
"I’m guessing they wish to treat us to a spectacular display of

fireworks?"
"Not possible right, I feel like this cannon is not that simple. Could it be
a type of legendary weapon?"
"How dumb can you be? Which cannon have you seen that actually
turned out to be a legendary weapon? Look at how this cannon looks so
stupidly big and heavy. Just using that thing to fight would exhaust
anyone controlling it."
"That’s true…"
Amidst the discussion, the few Original Infant Stage Cultivators of Wind
Chasing Sect also caught a glimpse of the cannon. One of the Elders
burst out, "This item looks very normal but there are several inscriptions
written all along it. Looks like it’s not anything ordinary."
"That’s right. No matter how stupid they are, they wouldn’t take out a
normal cannon to fight with us. This must be their secret weapon." The
rest of them nodded their heads in agreement.
Gu Gang was a suspicious person— cautious and prudent by nature. At

this point, his face was full of skepticism as he observed and scrutinized
that God Powered Cannon without speaking a word.
Then, the God Powered Cannon was pushed to Xu Que’s side as he

looked towards the group of Wind Chasing Sect members. He revealed
a sinister smile as he pressed both his fingers down onto the cannon
and lifted up the lid.
With a dull thud, the lid was opened.

The Great Change Sect disciples held their breaths and everything was
still.
It’s coming, it’s coming!
Soon, we’ll be able to see the powers of this God Powered Cannon!
Their eyes were full of excitement and anticipation. Most of them had
seen and heard about the might of the God Powered Cannon and now,
Xu Que was going to use it to kill the Wind Chasing Sect disciples. Most
of them were curious as to how it will turn out. Even Su Yun Lan was
observing quietly.
Xu Que did whatever he did the last time as he took out the a single
spirit stone and placed it within the cavity under the lid.
His face had an extremely pained expression on it which made all the
Great Change Sect disciples blush from shame at his miserly actions. It
was just a mere spirit stone. Do you have to look so pained?
Su Yun Lan couldn’t help but to let out a smile as her eyes lit up in
excitement while she watched every single action of Xu Que.
"Eh?"
The members of Wind Chasing Sect paused.
The few Original Infant Stage disciples also paused in shock.
"It was a cannon that used spirit stones to operate. There is more to that
weapon than meets the eye!"
"Looks like it’s really not a normal weapon."
"Sect Leader, let’s not waste anymore time and attack now. When we
finally capture Su Yun Lan, you can also have your turn with her!" The
few of them looked at Gu Gang and laughed sinisterly.
"Keke... I just want to see what kind of childish games they are playing!"
Gu Gang shook his head as he cleared his throat. "It’s just a mere
cannon. Don’t worry about it. Take a good look at how it fails. Although
it uses spirit stones to operate, he used a low grade spirit stone."
"Eh? It’s really a low grade spirit stone!"
"Is this kid stupid or pretending to be stupid? The low grade spirit stone
is extremely weak without any capabilities. What use can it be if he used
a low grade spirit stone?" The few Original Infant Stage cultivators
asked, clearly surprised.
"Boom!"
At the same time, Xu Que had already activated the spell needed to
operate the cannon as his palms lit up with golden Qi, forcing it into the
cannon.
The inscriptions around the entire cannon lit up in a golden hue as it

radiated magnificently across the entire area.
Gu Gang gave a cold laugh. He was beyond sure that this cannon
couldn’t possibly be a threat to them. With an entire face full of mockery,
he spoke, "You bunch of illegal non-secular sect, I shall stand here and
not move. If you can hurt a single hair of mine, I shall consider keeping
your corpse intact after I’ve murdered you."
Xu Que was elated, "Eh, you can really act tough. Too bad, there’s no
use for that today. Watch out for the cannon!"
"Boom!" The God Powered Cannon emitted a blinding flash of light

which was so intimidating, it could almost tear the earth apart as it fired
towards the group of Wind Chasing Sect disciples.
Everyone couldn’t help but shut their eyes, unable to bear the
brightness of it all.
….
Several breaths later, after the blinding l ight died down, the Great
Change Sect disciples opened their eyes.
Beneath the vast skies outside of Great Change Sect’s domain, the
entire group of Wind Chasing Sect disciples had been reduced to half.
Of which, three of their Original Infant Stage culti vators had lost their
lives to this single blast of the cannon.
But the Sect Leader Gu Gang, was still alive…
"Aiyo! Fuck me!" Xu Que cursed out loud, attracting the attention of
everyone around.
The Great Change Sect disciples all casted their glances at him as well
and all of them were stunned.
His entire face was extremely apologetic as he shouted out to the Wind
Chasing Sect Leader, "Oh man, I’m so sorry I missed slightly. I only
blew off one of your arms. But nevermind, one more round would do it!"
56 Golden Core Stage Full Foundation
Chapter 56: Golden Core Stage Full Foundation

The entire area turned silent.
The disciples who managed to survive the first cannon blast were
completely blank as to what had just happened.
Even the Sect Leader Gu Gang was completely caught off guard by the
power of the cannon blast.
God Powered Cannon took less than a second to activate and could
create such a devastating blow. This was something that surpassed all
understandings of the cultivator present.
After the God Powered Cannon had erupted and shot out a round, Gu
Gang didn’t have any time to respond at all. He was instantly blinded by
the piercing white light which forced him to shut his eyes. In the next
instant, he felt an immense surge of destructive powers approach him
and brushed past him. It was almost as if he brushed against the
shoulders of death.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that everything was empty. More
than half of his disciples had vanished. Even three of his own Original
Infant Stage juniors had disappeared. Then, he felt a sharp pain on his
right shoulder.
But even before he could look down at his injuries, he looked up at Xu

Que whose face was extremely apologetic as he said… That he missed
slightly!
He missed? And only destroyed one of his arms? And that it didn’t
matter for another round would do it?
In that instant, Gu Gang was dazed.
He looked down at his injuries on the right side of his body. In that
instant, what he saw was so shocking that his pupils dilated.
"Ah!!!" Gu Gang let out a shriek of agony.
The anger of losing his right arm coupled with the delayed pain caused
him to lose his sense as he nearly went mad.
The most important thing was what Xu Que had said: "I missed. Another
round should do it." It almost made him vomit blood.
The rest of the Wind Chasing Sect disciples regained their senses.
Seeing everything before them, they froze in bewilderment.
"How… How could this be?"
"Second dog… where’s second dog? He was just here beside me. Why
isn’t he here anymore?"
"What on earth is happening? Why are we the only ones left?"
"Sect Leader, you’re hurt. Your hand..."
In that next moment, a dozen disciples were at a lost and all started to
panic.
Nobody expected that just a mere cannon blast which required a low
grade spirit stone could actually cau se so much devastation. Nobody
could’ve defended or blocked such a powerful blow.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that being unable to block the hit meant
being unable to dodge it!
After the first blast of the cannon, Xu Que realized that this God
Powered Cannon was very potent. However, it had a very huge flaw as
well.
The merit to this God Powered Cannon was that the power of the blast
could be controlled and managed. Besides, this was something that only
Xu Que could do. All he needed to do was to think of the amount of
power he wanted to use.
He was afraid of using too much power just now and was afraid that
Great Change Sect might be blown to smithereens if he didn’t control
the power. Hence, he reduced it by more than half!
However, once the strength was reduced, the flaw of the cannon
became visible. The accuracy was reduced as well.
The God Powered Cannon didn’t have the automatic targeting ability
and required the person who was operating it to aim. If the target was a
moving target, the effectiveness of the God Powered Cannon would be
significantly reduced for it would be difficult to aim at a moving target.
Everything relied on the precision of the person operating it.
However, the Wind Chasing Sect disciples were all standing at one spot
and didn’t move. The only reason Xu Que missed the first shot was
because he missed intentionally.
This was done in order to play with Gu Gang. He wanted to completely

take down the entire Wind Chasing Sect, being able to come but not
having a chance of returning home. Hence, he chose to kill the three
Original Infant Stage cultivators first. This included the many Core
Bearing Stage and Golden Core stage cultivators standing behind.
An entire mound of experience points was collected instantly by him.

The three Original Infant Stage cultivators brought around 600,000
experience points along with the rest of the Core Bearing and Golden
Core Stage cultivators. His current experience points were
760,000/1,200,000.
760,000 experience points. He was only 440,000 experience points

away from being level 10, the full foundation.
Where should the composition of the remaining 440,000 experience

points will come from? That was easy. Two more Original Infant Stage
and one more Golden Core Stage cultivator would do it!
Xu Que’s vision started to burn as he glared at Gu Gang and the other

Original Infant Stage cultivator.
"Pow!"
He slapped the God Powered Cannon once again as the golden

inscriptions started to flare up in a mystical glow once more.
However this time, Gu Gang and the rest of them reacted. They faced
the God Powered Cannon with strange and fearful expressions. Soon
after, they shouted at each other to flee. Immediately, they summoned
their flying swords in an attempt to escape.
Xu Que hurriedly aimed and fired. His primary target was… Gu Gang’s
remaining right arm!
"Boom!"
With a loud roar, the bright golden light shot out from within the cannon
and brushed past the right side of Gu Gang’s body. At the same time, it
managed to claim the lives of several Win d Chasing Sect disciples. It
even successfully destroyed Gu Gang’s right arm!
"Iyo, I missed again!" Xu Que shouted out once again.
However, this time, he didn’t look apologetic or regretful in anyway. That

gave him away.
The few disciples of Great Change Sect witnessed the scene and
heaved a sigh of relief. Damn it! It looks like this guy purposely missed.
The person who suffered and lost the most was Gu Gang. The Sect
Leader of Wind Chasing Sect was one of the most respected and
illustrious men within Wind City. He never would’ve imagined that he
would meet such an end today and was killed by a mere Golden Core
Stage cultivator. Both his arms were shot off as he was thrown into
confusion.
Gu Gang’s face was filled with intense hatred and fury as he shouted
out loudly, "Great Change Sect, just you wait. My Wind Chasing Sect
will regroup and launch a come back. We shall fight ‘till the death until
we get our revenge. Just you wait!"
As he spoke, he leapt atop his flying sword and started to fly down from
the mountains.
Still, Xu Que’s monotonous voice which sounded like the god of death
rang out in his ears once more as if he was claiming his life effortlessly.
"Please don’t think about regrouping to launch a come back. Are you
ready for the next round? Ready… Go!"
"Boom!"
Following Xu Que’s words, the God Powered Cannon fired for the third
time.
A large golden ray of light shot towards Gu Gang with incredible speed
invisible to the naked eye. It hit him from the pack and passed through
his body. Like a single arrow piercing through two birds, the ray of
golden light killed the last remaining Original Infant Stage cultivator as
well.
At last, the few cultivators who managed to escape and were several
hundred meters away were shot down from the air an d died instantly as
well.
The uneventful and boring battle ended this way.
An entire series of beeps were being emitted out from the system within
Xu Que’s mind.




ring!"

Stage cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points!"
cultivation level is the Golden Core Stage level 10!"
"Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for reaching the full foundation of the
Golden Core Stage. You have successfully activated the system’s new
capabilities. The current system’s rank is level 1."
"Ding! Congratulations to host for acquiring a one time free upgrade.

Would you like to use it?"
57 The Revival Solution
Chapter 57: The Revival Solution

"I've succeeded!"
"I’ve finally… reached the full foundation!"
Even though he had been prepared for this moment, his heart couldn't
help but feel elated.
"Quick, system! Use the free additional level!" He thought to himself and
shouted out in his head.
"Ding! The system is starting to upgrade."

"1%...12%...28%...51%..."
"1%...12%...28%...51%....."
"Ding! The system’s upgrade was successful. The current level of the
system is level 2."
"After the successful upgrade of the system, the shop function has been
upgraded as well. Authority has been granted to purchase items from
the new section.
When the system finished with its message, it went completely still.
Xu Que froze.
"Shop function has been upgraded? Authority has been granted to

purchase items from the new section? What's the point of this? Didn't
you say that I could revive Xiao Rou? I just want Xiao Rou to be alive!"
Xu Que shouted out anxiously within his mind.
"Ding! Helping the host to search for a revival method. Please wait..."
After several moment's had passed, the system’s voice rang out once
more, "The search was successful. According to the host’s current
strengths and limits, the system has already found the easiest method!"
Whoosh!
Xu Que saw a burst of white light as the system activated the shop
function where a single item had been singled out. It was categorized as
a medicinal recipe.
[Nine Revolutions Revival Fluid](Medical Recipe) :
The Nine Revolutions Revival Fluid is a medicinal recipe which can

revive the dead and bring the person back to life. A new body will be
constructed for the spirit. The body will be constructed out of one of the
five earthly elements.
The required ingredients are: Genesis Metal Herbs, Genesis Water

Herbs, Genesis Fire Herbs, Genesis Earth Herbs!
Supplementary Ingredients: Living Holy Water!
Price: 2,000 Act Tough Points
"What... What rubbish is this?" Xu Que was dumbfounded.
All the required ingredients listed were completely foreign to Xu Que.

This single medicinal recipe costed 2,000 act tough points!
He tried to look for the ingredients within the system’s shops but came
up futile.
"System, this is your lowest level of difficulty method? What are these
Genesis Metal Herbs and Fire Herbs. Where can I find them?" Xu Que’s
expression was one of desperation.
The system then replied mechanically, "Please proc eed to purchasal

page!"
"What? I have to buy it first before you'll tell me?" Xu Que's eyes
opened wide.
"Correct. Only after you purchase the item will further instructions be
given to you."
"...Fine. I'll purchase it!"
"Ding! 2,000 act tough points spent to purchase the xxxx!"
Xu Que had no choice but to buy the medicinal recipe before he could
proceed. Just by doing this, he’d already spent 2,000 act tough points!
He used to be wealthy before this purchase but instantly became poor
once again. At this point, he only had slightly over 300 act tough points.
However, Xu Que wasn't too bothered by this. As long as he could

revive Xiao Rou, even if it had cost 20,000 act tough points or even
200,000 points, he wouldn't hesitate to purchase it.
"Can you tell me more now? Where should I find all those ingredients?"
Xu Que shouted out in his head.
"Please wait." The system responded. Before long, an entire page of

words floated into his view.
Genesis Metal Herbs: This herb grows where the metal element is the
strongest and where the metallic power is the most dense. This herb can
be used to refine medicine! According to the host’s current world, we’ve
located where you can find this herb: Metal Nation’s Imperial Palace,
Depths of the Northern Abyss!
Genesis Wooden Herbs: This herb grows where the wood element is the
strongest and where the wood power is the most dense. This herb can
be used to refine medicine! According to the host’s current world, we’ve
located where you can find this herb: Wood Nation’s Imperial Palace,
Depths of the Western Abyss!
Genesis Fire Herbs: This herb grows where the fire element is the
strongest and where the fire power is the most dense. This herb can be
used to refine medicine! According to the host’s current world, we’ve
located where you can find this herb: Fire Nation’s Imperial Palace,
Depths of the Eastern Abyss!
Genesis Water Herbs : ...
...
"Wait a minute… Fire Country’s Imperial Palace, Depths of the Eastern

Abyss? Holy shit!" Xu Que sputtered saliva as he cursed .
According to the memories retained within his body, he was aware of the
exact location.
Fire Nation’s Imperial Palace, Depths of the Eastern Abyss. That’s

where the imperial tombs are! Where many generations of Emperors
were buried.
Damned wretched system!
"System, you're not pulling my leg, are you? You actually want me to
visit the imperial tombs? Don't you know that the security of that place is
extremely tight and is filled with countless of formidable protective
spells? Even the current Emperor wouldn't dare to enter without a
proper reason!" Xu Que yelled out in his mind.
According to his knowledge, the first ever Emperor of the Fire Country
was of a cultivation level even higher than an Infant Transformation
Stage- The Void Refining Stage. The imperial tombs were constructed
by him. After his work, many other generations of Emperors added their
own protective spells to enforce the level of protection. This was done in
order to prevent anyone from barging in.
It wasn't because there were many va luable treasures buried within the
tombs. It was because the imperial tombs were built upon dragon veins.
Just before the death of the current Emperor, he would go down the
tombs and encase his body within the tombs voluntarily. This would thus
cause the nation to flourish and prosper.
Hence, if Xu Que wanted to enter the tombs, it meant that he had to

compete with the Emperor of the Fire Country in terms of wisdom and
strength.
No, that's not right. It's not just the imperial tombs of the Fire Nation. He
had to visit the tombs of the other 4 nations as well!
"So? I just wish to know… With my current cultivation level, how do I

plunder the rights to enter the tombs of the five nations?" Xu Que asked.
The system paused for some time as if to ponder over t he question. It
then replied mechanically, "That's why the expedition will be full of
danger. The host has to cultivate diligently! .
"Damn you!" Xu Que shouted out in clear rage.
He was presently still standing outside Great Change Sect’s entrance.

Everyone watched him as he killed the Wind Chasing Sect’s Leader,
afterwhich he remained still and unmoving. Just as they were about to
ask him what was wrong, he started cursing out loudly.
Everyone around jumped up in shock as they asked themselves silently

who had incited the wrath of this crazy and ferocious master this time?
"Friend Xu, what’s wrong?" Su Yun Lan walked over to Xu Que and
asked him warmly. It was clear that she cared about him.
At this point, Xu Que regained his senses as he sighed and shook his
head, "Nothing. I wish to return to my room to rest."
As he finished his sentence, he turned around and walked towards his

own accommodation not far away.
Su Yun Lan watched the back of his shadow as he walked away. She
opened her mouth, but didn’t speak.
...
Xu Que returned to his room slowly as his emotions started to calm

down.
He knew that being angry with the system wasn’t going to be beneficial
to him. Besides, the system couldn’t possibly trick him. It has to be that
reviving a person from the dead was such an unnatural task that it was
defying the natural orders. It was almost like asking the heavens to
return a person back to this planet. Of course, the difficulty level would
have to be very high!
Regardless, he had already got his hands on the solution on reviving
Xiao Rou and had found his direction as well.
"Damn it. I don’t give a shit about what five nations and your imperial
tombs. Nobody is going to stop me from reviving Xiao Rou. I shan’t be
superstitious any longer. Just several blocks of concrete tombs aren’t
going to hinder me. Maybe I can bribe some of these military guards
which will allow me easier access to these tombs." Xu Que clenched his
fists, his fighting spirits were at an all time high.
He had no feelings whatsoever for any of these five nations. Even if he

were to ruin the entire dragon veins which the tombs were built on, he
was only damaging the royal family’s buildings. He wasn’t implicating or
harming the innocent population.
Hence, Xu Que’s first location was for the Fire Country.
He remembered very clearly. The reason the owner of this body had
died was because he was cheated by the Emperor of the Fire Country.
He had been lied to by the Emperor and was lulled into a false sense of
security. He cultivated for many years and even received many magical
pills. At last, he was sucked completely dry by the Princess and even
stole away the fire roots which he possessed.
Thankfully, after he had transmigrated, he acquired the system. Not only

did he regain his lost fire roots, he even acquired the other 4 different
elements which made him an extremely powerful cultivator.
"Hm, looks like it’s time to pay a visit to Fire Country and the Emperor!
Emperor you old foggy… Little Princess, your consort is… Coming
back!" Xu Que stood within his compounds as he shouted, his next steps
became clear to him.
58 Towards the Imperial City

Chapter 58: Towards the Imperial City
It was late in the night and everything was quiet. A bright full moon hung
high up in the sky.
Xu Que was half lying down on his mattress, caressing his chin as he
leaned half of his body towards the window. He looked up at the night
sky and was deep in thought.
He decided that in a matter of minutes, he would leave this place and

head for the imperial city.
There were five imperial tombs for him to trespass. The dangers of
entering those were anything but mild.
Of course, he had to take revenge on the old Emperor and the Princess.
Although the Emperor and Princess had betrayed the owner of this body
and not himself, when he took over this body, he acquired all the
memories and hatred as well. It was almost like he felt those emotions
himself. All the hatred emotions were felt by him anyway.
Hence, he decided to take revenge for it. If he didn’t, he would find it

hard to sleep at night.
However, before he leave, Xu Que decided to give a present to Great

Change Sect.
Since the strengths of the God Powered Cannon was so immense, it

was hard to keep a low profile of such a formidable weapon. Once
people decides to steal it, Great Change Sect could only rely on these
three God Powered Cannons to defend themselves which might not be
enough.
Xu Que then called out the system as his personal stats appeared
before his eyes.
Host: Xu Que
Cultivation Level: Golden Core Stage Level 10 (Close to Perfection)
Act Tough Points: 380 Points

Occupation: None
Status : Prince Consort of the Eastern Fire Country
As if now, his cultivation level has already reached the full foundation of
the Golden Core Stage. The next step would be similar to how the
demonic beasts ascend to the next level. It was the 49 Heavenly
Tribulations which would determine if he could enter the Original Infant
Stage.
The 49 Heavenly Tribulations were the most basic of tribulations and

meant getting struck by lightning for four consecutive times. If he
survived the tribulations, he would break through to the Original Infant
Stage and be recognized by everyone as having passed the trial.
But if he failed to survive, his soul will be scattered and his body will be
vanquished.
Still, the tribulation faced by demonic beasts were much more severe
than those faced by humans. The tribulation which human cultivators
had to undergo was considered easy so Xu Que didn’t pay it much
attention.
His biggest worry now was that his act tough points had been reduced
significantly after paying for the medicinal recipe. He only had 380 act
tough points presently.
With such little points, what could he buy for Great Change Sect?
Another few more God Powered Cannons? No that wouldn’t be too

good. If the enemy decided to bring wave and wave of people, these
mere cannons wouldn’t be able to defend them forever.
"If I purchase a protective spell, it would only work if I were here to

upkeep the spell. Since I wouldn’t be around, the spell won’t last for
very long. This won’t do it for the Great Change Sect people." Xu Que
frowned.
Regardless of how strong the protective spell was, without the main
person maintaining the effectiveness of the spell, its powers would
surely be reduced. That was the main reason Pan Shan Village could be
attacked by Elder Sun.
If Xu Que had been in Pan Shan Village then, even without doing
anything and solely relying on the effectiveness of his protective screen,
Elder Sun would’ve been completely destroyed. She wouldn’t have been
just merely injured.
"Eh, I got it!" All of a sudden, Xu Que seemed like he recalled something
as he sat up on the mattress.
"When I upgraded the system today, I remember hearing two new added
features." Xu Que spoke as he pulled up the information interface.
Within the information interface, a congratulatory message rang out

which included the new capabilities of the system.
After upgrading the system, there were new added features. The first
was an additional section of the shops had been added. He could now
purchase items from a whole new section. This was actually where he
purchased the Nine Revolutions Revival Fluid and other heaven -
rebelling items. They were all new.
The other feature was that he had increased authority when it came to
the items purchased from the shop. In future, he could purchase items
and spells and it can be used by other people.
This second feature immediately resolved Xu Que’s problem!
Since whatever he purchased can now be used by others, why was he

fretting? He could just buy a protective spell for them to use.
Xu Que then entered the shops once more and viewed the spell
sections. He then started looking through the spells within the Beginner
Spells Sections.
According to logic, the spells within the intermediate section would’ve

been much stronger. However, these spells costed at least 200 act
tough points. Besides, most of these spells required Qi to be charged
before being released as an offensive action. It wasn’t suitable for
defending. The rest of the intermediate spells would easily cost 400 act
tough points. Xu Que couldn’t afford those.
Hence, he could only leave the intermediate section and return to the
beginner spells section and choose from there.
Xu Que had initially thought about purchasing the Four Directions

Desolation Spell for them but when he looked down, he realized that
there were many beginner spells which he had never seen before. One
of those spells could be used to defend and attack at the same time.
[Divinatory Thousand Swords Spell]:
This spell has origins from the olden days of battle and was a menacing
killing skill. It encompasses the entire area and casts a protective shield
around it. Should an intruder trespass, he will instantly be thrown in to
confusion and lose his bearings. The skies and ground will flip as a
thousand swords will descend upon the victim causing an inevitable
death. (Note: This spell doesn’t affect cultivators who are of the Infant
Transformation Stage and above.)
"Damn, it’s so expensive! The price is almost equivalent to an

intermediate level spell. But this spell really sounds good. If I had such a
spell back then when I was defending Pan Shan Village, how good
would that have been. Then, even if the old woman was more powerful,
she would’ve been unable to break through the spell. It’s such a
shame… Ai!" Just as Xu Que recalled the incident at Pan Shan Village,
a whirl of emotions could be felt down in his heart.
He looked down at the pagoda which was in his breast pocket and saw
Xiao Rou’s soul sleeping comfortably within. His demoralized self and
sadness then started leaving as he felt better.
Xu Que gritted his teeth as he purchased the Divinatory Thousand

Swords Spell.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully purchasing the

Divinatory Thousand Swords Spell. The cost was 200 act tough points."
Whoosh!
A white light swept across his vision as another icon of a new spell was
added.
Xu Que then retrieved it as he looked at the details and nodded his head
in approval.
With this spell, Great Change Sect would be safe even without his
presence. Added to the 3 God Powered Cannons, Great Change Sect
has a bright future ahead of them!
"Now… I can go without worries! It’s a pity t hat the gorgeous looking
Sect Leader isn’t mine yet. I can’t really bear to leave her!" Xu Que
mumbled to himself as he broke out in smiles.
At last, he wrote a letter which gave clear instructions as to how to

operate the spell. He then retrieved the spe ll manual from within his
inventory and placed in on the table. He turned around to leave and
activated his Lightning Haste Spell as he soared up into the skies, his
shadow gradually vanishing into the darkness.
"Sigh!" As soon as Xu Que left, a sigh coul d be heard from the corner of
his compound.
The shadow of a person wearing white robes came out. Her skin was
pale and smooth and her aura was anything but ordinary. It was the Sect
Leader of Great Change Sect, Su Yun Lan!
Seeing Xu Que leaving the area, her eyes revealed a confused look as if
she couldn’t bear to watch him go. At the same time, she was rather
vexed.
"Chi-ya!’
She gently pushed open the door to Xu Que’s room and walked in
slowly.
She then saw the present which Xu Que had left behind. This caused
her to freeze for a second before she approached the table and picked
up the letter. She sat on his bed as she gazed at the words written by
him.
After a long time, Su Yun Lan’s expression fell as she whispered to

herself, "Apart from the instructions to use the Divinatory Thousand
Swords Spell, don’t you have any other words for me?"
She then placed the letter down as she crawled into his bed.
Within the covers, there was still some warmth left behind by him. Su
Yun Lan laid down on the pillow and pressed her face deep into the
pillow, inhaling all of his scent deeply. Her face then blushed a deep
shade of red.
59 That Xu Que From Six Years Ago
Chapter 59: That Xu Que From Six Years Ago

The next day, the sky was bright and radiant.
Xu Que draped on his black robes and carried the dark buster sword. He
was chewing on some foxgrass as he hummed a tune and walked across
the mountainous roads.
He had already travelled non-stop for an entire night and was inching
closer towards the imperial city.
He had finally reached the borders of the Fire Country. Not only were
the borders desolate, the journey to the imperial city from here was
extremely far. Even if he were to travel continuously for days and nights,
he would take at least another month or two before he would reach.
However, Xu Que was mentally prepared for this arduous journey. He

was also prepared to kill any demonic beasts who appeared so that he
could accumulate more experience points and continue gaining levels.
Besides, his journey to the imperial city meant that it was paved with
dangerous people.
For example, the Emperor was of the Infant Transformation Stage, level
6. He was a level higher than the Celestial Sect’s Leader, Zhang Dan
Shan, whose might was already frightening to behold.
Earlier during their last encounter, Xu Que had used his pair of mystical
fires to attack Zhang Dan Shan. This was also after he activated his
Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformation Skill with the added strength.
That was Xu Que’s most powerful combination.
Right to the end, he didn’t even lay a scratch on Zhang Dan Shan. He
only managed tear his clothes, which made him look worse off than he
really was.
And Xu Que’s journey to the imperial city to face the Emperor of the Fire
Country, who was much stronger than Zhang Dan Shan, placed a
tremendous amount of pressure on him.
When a cultivator reached the Infant Transformation Stage, every level

increase was extremely difficult to achieve. For example, the strongest
person in Celestial Sect, the leader, would have taken several decades
just to increase in one level. Besides, he would require a great deal of
treasures and resources in order to ascend.
The difference between Zhang Dan Shan and the Emperor of the Fire
Country might just be a single cultivation level but it was a huge
difference. If the pair of them were to engage in a battle, Zhang Dan
Shan would lose within several moves.
The difference between them was only one level but in order to reach
the cultivation level of the Emperor, the amount of resources required
was enough to raise tens of cultivators up to the Original Infant Stage.
Therefore, Xu Que wasn’t exactly feeling very good about it. Although
he killed many people before this, they were just tiny flies. If he were to
really face up against an Infant Transformation Stage culti vator, he
wouldn’t stand the tiniest chance.
"Ai, so depressed!" Xu Que reared his head back and sighed as he kept
walking onwards.
Before long, he had scaled an entire mountain and had descended from
it. When he reached the foot of the mountain to rest , he noticed that
there was a tea house nearby.
Since this route was a common route and everywhere was a desolated
wasteland, most people would rest at this particular teahouse regardless
of whether they were cultivators or normal people.
When Xu Que walked over, he noticed that there were many normal
people sitting around. Before long, the waiter came up to them and
poured some boiling water into their teacups.
"Waiter, get me a bottle of Sprite!" Xu Que found an empty table and

threw his weight down on it as he shouted out.
The waiter paused, "Guest, what’s a sp-sprite? We don’t have that

here."
"What do you have then?" Xu Que asked.
Just then, his own eyes lit up as if he just understood something. He

initially wanted to make a joke by ordering Sprite but the minute he
spoke the words out, he realized that sprite and coke didn’t exist in this
world. They didn’t have draft beers too. If he were to conjure these
drinks out, he probably could use those to act tough and act cool.
"Guest, we have great tea and several dishes which would go well with
wine. What would you like to order? Please let me know!" The waiter
laughed out.
Xu Que had already started to imagine all the possibilities of how he

could act tough and was clearly distracted. He nodded his head, "Eh,
just getting me some random tea would do!"
"Sure!" The waiter acknowledged before leaving.
Before long, the sound of many footsteps belonging to men and horses
could be heard. There was even the faint rumbling of a carriage, pulled
by horses.
Everyone within the tea house started to pay attention as they craned
their necks to get better looks and started discussing.
"Aiyo, such an entourage. It must be a noble person!"
"That’s right. After being here for so long, this is the first time I’ve seen
such an imposing entourage. Could it have came from the imperial city?"
"What imperial city? Look at the direction they’re headed. It’s more like
they’re going towards the imperial city. It was probably the envoys
belonging to the neighboring nations."
"That’s not right. The carriage bore the flag of our Fire Country. How
could it be the envoys of other nations!"
"Then it must be an envoy from our Fire Country who had gone to other
neighboring nations and have just returned. Ai, let’s not talk about this.
Drink up…"
...
Xu Que looked out at the dirt road and noticed the entire group of
people. Indeed, they looked very formidable. They were clearly not just
any other entourage. Besides, their numbers were huge. They had more
than 200 people with them, among those were more than 100 cultivators
who ranged from the Core Bearing Stages to the Original Infant Stages.
They were a formidable group.
They had riders on horseback and others walked. They were all
protecting a single carriage which was right in the middle and looked
extremely glamorous and magnificent.
Although the curtains were drawn and the doors were shut, Xu Que
could feel that there were two people seated within the carriage and
they were both of the Golden Core Stage!
What kind of person could be so noble that such a large entourage had
to follow him to protect him. Even an Original Infant Stage cultivator was
part of the entourage.
Xu Que’s suspicion was clearly aroused yet he was too lazy to think too
much as well. He shook his head, picked up the hot cup of tea and took
several sips.
...
The carriage moved across the tea house slowly while a pair of
gorgeous looking women sat within the carriage.
One of them wore a white, jade embroidered robe and had her silky hair
draping down all the way to her shoulders. A jade hairpin was stuck
within her bun of hair. She had a sweet and delicate face which always
seemed to be smiling. Her eyes exuded an elegant and intelligent
demeanor which caused everyone around her to like her instantly. S he
was always likened to a flower for her beauty.
The woman beside her was much prettier and had sharper features than
her. Her hair was tied up in a high bun and her complexion was smooth
and pale. However, she had a certain cold and icy look in her eyes
which almost seemed like she could see through anyone and anything.
She had an elite demeanor about her which indicated that she was a
lady of lofty status.
The woman in white robes whose face was full of smiles asked softly,
"Princess, your highness, who made you so angry? From the moment
our journey towards Fire Country began, your expression was so sullen.
Be careful that wrinkles don’t sprout out since you’ve been frowning."
If Xu Que had seen the icy looking woman in the carriage, he would
definitely pick up his great buster sword and smack her right in the face.
That’s right, this sullen looking cold woman was the only Princess of the
Fire Country. Her name was Ji Wan Qing and was also referred to as
the Flaming Sun Princess.
Such a familiar face would’ve been recognized instantly by Xu Que.

According to his memories, this pretty looking yet cold woman had spent
7 days and 7 nights in bed with the owner of his body. She managed to
absorb all his spiritual powers before dumping him into a desolated
area.
However, if Xu Que were to see her now, he would surely be shocked.

In his memories, the Flaming Sun Princess wasn’t so cold and arrogant
back then. In fact, she was a warm and adorable girl in the past!
"Zi Xuan, do you remember Xu Que?" The Flami ng Sun Princess asked
the woman in white robes softly.
"Xu Que?" The woman in white robes paused as she blinked her
gorgeous looking eyes several times in a bid to recall that familiar name.
"I remember. When were travelling across the borders, everyone a round
was talking about that Xu Que. But I remember thinking that the rumors
were too exaggerated to be true. How could a Core Bearing Stage
disciple kill an Original Infant Stage cultivator in front of an Infant Stage
Cultivator? The rumor even said that the person who died was a Sect
Elder. Right at the end, he even managed to escape. I’m sure there
were some dramatization and distortion of facts here."
"No." The Flaming Princess shook her head gently, her expression was
blank, "I’m talking about the other Xu Que from six years ago!"
The woman in white robes muttered to herself as a wary look appeared

on her face. After thinking for sometime, her mouth mumbled several
more words as if she recalled. She then gave a surprised look, "Are you
talking about that Fire Country Prince Consort from six years ago? I
remember him. That’s right. That Prince Consort was called Xu Que.
How’s he now?"
"He’s dead." The Flaming Princess replied nonchalantly.
60 Daddy’s Here For Robbery
Chapter 60: Daddy’s Here For Robbery

"What? He’s dead?" The silk robed woman’s cute eyes widened
momentarily and was filled with astonishment.
The Flaming Sun Princess nodded her head with unnatural calmness, "I,
too, just heard about the situation not too long ago."
The silk-clothed woman heard the princess’s words. Her pupils

constricted as she became silent for a little while before letting out a
sigh.
"Sigh... I remember back then when he first saw me, he had that cute
and blushy face on. Actually, at that time, I knew that he would
eventually become the Flame Emperor’s flesh vessel. It’s a pity that I
was very young at that time and couldn’t stop him. Afterwards, he was
locked up in the underground palace to train and we had forgotten about
him as time went by. Who knew that he was already dead."
(T/N: Flesh Vessel was a sort of slave in which a person was supposed
to cultivate and train hard in order to pass all his powers to someone
else)
"I haven’t forgotten about it!" The Flaming Sun Princess softly replied
while briefly shutting her eyes.
"What?" The silk-clothed woman widened her eyes and spoke in shock,
"Then… then why didn’t you stop it from happening?"
"My father wanted to improve himself and Xu Que was the perfect
candidate at that time. He had Fire Heaven roots and did not have any
next-of-kin. As a result, my father had Concubine Huan to impersonate
as me and accompany Xu Que for six years. When he finally reached
the Golden Core Stage, my father had his Fire Heaven roots absorbed
from him. To an orphan who’s on the verge of starving to death on the
streets, it’s definitely a compensation." The Flaming Sun Princess said
dully.
"So, it was Concubine Huan who impersonated as you all these years
and accompanied Xu Que. With her Charm and Transformation magic, it
wouldn’t be hard at all to fool a Golden Core Stage cultivator. It’s no
wonder that I’ve seen her so little in the palace these few years.
However, I feel rather sympathetic for that Xu Que." The silk -clothed
woman replied disturbingly.
The Flaming Sun Princess remained unmoved and without any sign of
emotions, said apathetically, "Everybody has their own fat e. There are
way too many pitiful people in this world besides him. Moreover, his
death wasn’t anything important. After Concubine Huan absorbed the
Fire Heaven roots from within his body and transferred it to my father,
he quickly reached 7th stage of his Cultivation Level. If it becomes a
success, it will be good news for the Fire Country."
"Sigh…" The silk-clothed woman closed her eyes and sighed briefly. She
did not reply.
After several breaths, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and
shockingly said, "Wait, did you say that this Xu Que and that Xu Que are
different people? Or should I go ask around and see if there is any
drawings of that Xu Que and maybe we can see what that person looks
like!"
The Flaming Sun Princess nodded her head, "There are many people
with the same names. No need to make such a big fuss. Besides, the Xu
Que who was in the Palace has already died. All the cultivation he did
when he was alive was absorbed till he withered. Even if he was left
barely alive, he will never be able to cultivate again without his roots."
"What you’ve said is correct. After all, in this world, there are no
medicines which can allow someone to regrow new roots." The silk -
clothed woman nodded her head in sudden realization.
...
At the same time, Xu Que already left the small teahouse and continued
on the path to the imperial city.
What he did not know was that the person he had a wild 7 nights with
was just a fake princess and a concubine of the Emperor on top of that.
Along the way, he hummed a melodic tune. At the same time he

activated the Lightning Haste, and advanced, passing through various
mountain ridges quickly.
Every time he came upon a huge forests, he would stop by and hunt
some demonic beasts and capture some normal beasts to cook and eat.
In the following days, Xu Que’s experience points had increased by a

substantial amount. However, he only managed to earn a small amount
of act tough points. While on his journey, he met various weak
cultivators who were intimidated by his black robe s and Dark Heavy
Buster Sword and they brought him tens of act tough points.
Although the legs of mosquitoes were thin, there were still flesh on
them. Xu Que would definitely not miss a single chance to gain those
points.
It was this thought which led Xu Que to come upon the foot of a giant
mountain. In front of him was a small village. His eyes immediately lit up
and he quickly ascended up the mountains.
A place with people meant it was a chance for him to act tough!
But when Xu Que neared the village entrance, he found out that there
were cultivators roaming about. It wasn’t just one or two of them. It was
a big bunch of them!
"Damn, what a bustling crowd. It’s time to act tough!" Xu Que quickly
joined them.
In the end, he found out that things weren’t so simple. He could see
various groups of people. The young and the old, all kneeling on the
ground.
He saw an old granny who was tightly hugging a ten year old child. Her
eyes were flowing with tears and was pleading with the group of
cultivators.
"Please let go of my grandson. I am begging you all. His father and

mother, before their death, told me to not let their child ever cultivate.
They wanted him to lead a normal life. I am begging you all. Please
don’t take him away." The elderly woman was crying very broken-
heartedly.
A Golden Core Staged middle-aged man replied, "Old woman, you

probably have no idea but this child has a once -in-a-hundred-years
innate gift of cultivation roots. If he joins my Phaseless Faction as a
disciple, he will definitely have a bright future and he will be stronger
than his parents."
"No. I won’t let him go no matter how strong he becomes. Leave." The
elder woman became agitated by the minute.
The middle-aged man’s expression became dull, "Old woman, all of us

came here on the account of your deceased son and daughter -in-law.
After all, both of them were disciples from my Faction. If you insist on
being unreasonable, don’t blame us for using force."
"If you people want to take him, take him over my dead body." The old
woman insistently hugged the small child.
The child also opened both of his arms, shielding the old woman behind
him. With a death stare at the group of cultivators, he shouted, "Don't
bully my grandma! All of you are bad people! You all caused my mum
and dad to die. Before they died, they told me to not talk to you people
at all."
"Hehe… Tong Tong, although the death of your parents was an

accident, we feel very guilty. That’s why we are here to fetch you back
to Phaseless Faction and nurture you to make up for your parents.
Come, follow Uncle." The middle-aged man laughed.
The child immediately shook his head, "I’m not going."
The smile on the middle-aged man disappeared quickly and intolerably

ordered the few cultivators beside him, "Whatever, get hi m. But try not
to hurt the old woman."
"Yes!" The few Core Bearing Cultivators replied at the same time and
advanced towards the old woman and the child.
The old woman was still hugging the child tightly and she screamed
while sobbing, "No, don’t take him away! My only son’s death was
caused by you people. I can’t make the same mistake and give my
grandson to you all!"
"That’s beyond your control!" A few cultivators coldly replied and raised
their hands to pull away the old woman.
This scene was all witnessed by Xu Que. His mood became vile in an
instant.
Bloody hell! They’re bullying an old woman in broad daylight and

snatching away a child. These bunch of scums!
"Stop right now!" Xu Que shouted with the black robe donned and the
Dark Heavy- Buster Sword on his back, advancing towards them with
large strides.
All the cultivators were stunned momentarily and turned their heads.
The middle-aged man walked out of the group. At the same time, he
gave Xu Que a few looks and frowned, "Friend, whatever’s happening
here is the problem of the Phaseless Faction. I advice you to not be
nosy!"
"Who said I am being nosy?" Xu Que widened his eyes and rebuked.
"What brings you here then?"
"Daddy’s here for robbery! Everybody put your hands behind your head
and squat down!"
61 If You All Win, I’ll Let You All Off
Chapter 61: If You All Win, I’ll Let You All Off
The group of cultivators from Phaseless Faction all froze in their tracks.
Rob?
Is he kidding around? Has this fellow cultivated so hard until he’s gone
insane?
As a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator, how dare you try to rob from
us, the Phaseless Faction!?
The middle-aged man did not believe the robbery was going to happen.
He looked at Xu Que coldly and replied with a deep voice, "My friend, I
suggest that you mind your own business. This area is under control by
our Faction. If you insist on being nosy, a signal is all it takes for our
Faction’s Elder and his men to rush over here."
Xu Que was elated upon hearing that.
In the group, the person with the highest Cultivation Stage was the one
standing right in front of him. He was a Golden Core Stage level 8
cultivator. The others were all in their Core Bearing Stage. Even if he
killed all of them, the experience gained would only be very little and not
sufficient enough to satisfy Xu Que. When Xu Que heard that their
Faction could call for backup at any time, he felt that he couldn’t ask
better.
"Are you for real?" He asked the middle-aged man as he chuckled.
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, reached out a bamboo pipe
from his embrace and pointed towards the sky before sneering, "You
can try me."
"Stop talking nonsense already. Quickly call your Elder over here. Oh
yes, if it’s alright with you, you can call your entire Faction over. The
more, the better. Be quick, I’m rushing for time." Xu Que laughed.
Everybody was stumped.
Another Golden Core Stage Cultivator walked out from the group and
spoke to the middle-aged man, "Senior, there is no need to alarm the
Elders. Although he is at the maximum stage of the Golden Core Stage,
if we take him on together, we will be sure to bring him down."
The middle-aged man laughed coldly and nodded, "Hmph! I wanted to

let him retreat on his own accord. Who knew this man is so oblivious of
what situation he found himself in. Dressing so oddly and masking up
his appearance. He could be a wanted criminal. If we take him down
together, a prize reward could await our Faction."
Finished, he kept the bamboo pipe in his embrace as he laughed grimly

and looked towards Xu Que.
Xu Que started to panic, "Please don’t. There’s no meaning if you don’t

call for backup."
"Hmph! What an arrogant lad. Juniors, let’s take him down together."
The middle-aged man ordered deeply, concentrated his two fingers and
down came a flying sword. It then flew towards the direction of Xu Que.
A few Golden Core Staged Cultivators emerged from the group at the
same time. With looks filled with killing intents, they brandished their
sharp-edged swords and surrounded Xu Que in all directions without
giving him any way of escape.
The group of Core Bearing Staged disciples with cold eyes, lo oked on.
Some of them even had taunting looks as they nodded mockingly while
laughing, "This lad is really tired of living. He dares to challenge our
Faction. With our Seniors attacking together, even strong Original Infant
Stage level 1 Cultivators will find it a challenge!"
Xu Que looked at the few men trying to engage him in battle and
inevitably let out a sigh, " Sigh… what a hassle. Since you people are
not calling for backup, here I come!"
Right after finishing his words, his figure suddenly became fuzzy. Akin to
a fleeting shadow, he stepped on the lightning and abruptly advanced
towards the middle-aged man.
"Dang!"
The middle-aged man’s reaction was very quick as he struck Xu Que

with his sword. But immediately, it was blocked by Xu Que’s Dark He avy
Buster Sword. The impact numbed the man’s arm and with a "Clang"
sound, his flying sword fell to the ground.
"Senior, be careful." The remaining Golden Core Staged Cultivators

witnessed the scene as their expressions changed and one by one, they
rushed towards Xu Que with their swords raised.
With Xu Que’s unmatched speed including the Thunder Flash and

Thunder Blink spells, he appeared right behind the middle -aged man
instantly as he let loose an explosive fist towards the middle aged man.
"Pffff!" The middle-aged cultivator could not even react. His face with
filled with astonishment as he stared blankly while he witnessed his own
chest being impaled by a big arm. His heart stopped on the spot.
His arm then grabbed onto the bamboo pipe within his robes and pulled
it out.
The middle-aged man dropped on the ground. With a big hole in his
chest area, fresh blood could be seen spilling all over.
Everybody came into a deadlock in a flash. They were all stupefied and
their eyes were filled with utter fear.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing Golden Core Stage

Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!"
Xu Que laughed briefly. In front of the frightened and shocked group, he

held the bamboo pipe up high and from his palms radiated core energy.
"Go!"
Light could be seen escaping from the bamboo pipe into the air. A
"Boom" sound followed. Akin to exploding fireworks, the streaks of light
started to condense into the air, forming a red blood "Xiang" chinese
character.
"Oh, this toy’s pretty fun. Does your faction have anymore of these?" Xu
Que, grinning ear to ear, looked at the remaining Phaseless Faction
Disciples.
Everybody was flabbergasted. They were thoroughly frightened out of

their wits.
Never have they met a person with such a savage way of killing. With
only a punch, he killed their Senior who was at Golden Core Stage 8. On
top of that, he snatched his bamboo pipe and detonated the signal,
helping them to call for backup!
Wh-What is happening?
Is this guy crazy?
Is he really out of his damn mind?

The tens of people all stood still on the ground with faces filled with
shock and confusion as they stare blankly at Xu Que. They could not
snap out of the situation for a long while.
In the end, a few of the Golden Core Staged Cultivators reacted and
furiously shouted, "You dare to kill our Senior? We will fight you to
death!"
The few of them brandished their flying swords followed by their figures
moving upwards. They turned their heads and ran off.
"Eh…" It was Xu Que’s turn to become stunned. He pouted the side of

his lips.
"Damn your mum. Where’s the trust between humans? I’m sure they
said they want to fight me to the death but they ran away in the end!"
Xu Que was speechless. He was too lazy to chase after them. He turned
his head and looked at the remaining Core Bearing disciples. They were
all tangled up like a ball.
"Will I be counted as being too cruel if I put my hands on you low-staged

Cultivators? If word is sent out, everyone will laugh at me and term me
as a bully. It’s very bad for my reputation!" Xu Que muttered and looked
at the bunch of disciples.
He asked awkwardly, "How about this, among yourselves, choose one

person. I will spar with him one-on-one. If he wins, I will let all of you
off."
"..." The group of Core Bearing Stage Disciples were speechless on the
spot.
Sparring?
Our strongest Senior was killed in a second by you yet you have the
cheek to ask one of us to spar with you? Damn you! No one can win
you.
"I’ll fight you!"
Suddenly, a skinny-looking disciple howled. He walked out from the

group with an expression that did not fear death!
He brandished his flying sword and waved his arm. The sword flew out
of his hands towards Xu Que.
The next moment, the skinny man along with the group of Core Bearing
Staged Cultivators, one by one, started to rise into the air. As if with the
same thinking as the Golden Core Stage Cultivators, they quickly fled
too.
However, Xu Que did not have any intention to receive the flying sword.
With the Lightning Haste skill, his body lightly moved. With a "Whoosh",
he dodged the blade of the flying sword.
At the same time, he raised the Dark Heavy Buster Sword with his arms.
He aggressively waved forward and immediately activated the Six
Corporeal Forms. The towering shadow of the Buster Sword covered the
heavens. With boundless might, it covered the skies.
"Boom!"
The shadow of the Greatsword crashed downwards and the group of

Core Bearing Stage Cultivators were slammed. Under the frightening
and explosive force, they exploded into mere fogs of blood in an instant.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Core Bearing Stage

Cultivator. The reward is 10,000 experience points!"


Xu Que’s lip corner moved and transformed into a cold laugh. He

sneered, "Dumb asses, wanting to fool me with your crap of a trick? I
was just too lazy to chase after the first group. I’ll go to your Faction
later on and kill all of you. Saves me the trouble."

The reward is 50 act tough points!" The system beep sounded yet again.
Xu Que turned his head, only to see the old granny and the child along
with the villagers who were hiding at the background, all staring at him
blankly.
62 Hidden Task Reward
Chapter 62: Hidden Task Reward

Xu Que helped the elderly woman up and wiped the tear stains off the
child’s face, giving him a wide smile.
After that, he got an understanding of the story and the situation was
recounted by the elderly woman.
The situation stemmed from the old woman’s son joining the Phaseless
Faction years ago. He was chosen by the Elders of the Faction to
become a cultivator. It was clearly something mortals would look forward
to and be happy about. The whole village even threw a celebration for it.
After several years had gone by, the old woman’s son brought a lady
back. He told her that they were already married and had a kid together.
Some time later, the couple were sent to complete a sect mission. In the
end, the old woman’s son suffered injuries and the couple returned to
the Faction’s domain to mend their wounds.
However, one of the disciples in the Faction had long lusted after her
beautiful daughter in law. Taking advantage of the fact that the woman’s
husband was injured, the disciple raped her.
The problem instantly became huge. The old woman’s son was fille d
with rage and wanted revenge. He approached the Sect Leader for
intervention of some sort. However, the matter was covered up because
the errant disciple happened to be the son of a powerful Elder within the
sect.
The old woman's son was still filled with relentless rage. He then
infiltrated into the disciple’s home with intentions of killing him.
However, being already on high alert, the Elder was present to defend
his own son. He personally inflicted grave injuries to the revenge
seeking man. At last, the married couple, along with their young son,
were expelled from the Faction,
Both of them brought the child back to the village to settle down. Not
barely a few days later, the old woman’s daughter -in-law took her own
life. Her son was filled with sorrow. Along with his severe injuries, and
the lack of any potions to cure him, he died a few days later due to
sickness while in depression.
This happened two or three years ago. When the old woman’s grandson
was playing out in the back of the mountains, he unexpectedly met an
Elder from Phaseless Faction. After he was discovered to have an
innate potential, the Elder wanted to bring him up mountains into the
sect domain. Soon after, the Elder discovered that he was the son of the
couple from those years ago. The spate of events was the reason for the
scene happening today.
Xu Que heard the story, felt regretful for them and shook his head.
No matter in what world or realm, such tragedies were bound to occur.
Phaseless Faction’s upper ranked individuals were all covering up for

one another. The disciple was clearly at fault but just because he was
the son of a prominent Elder, the couple had to be the sacrificial pawns
of this tragedy!
"Old lady, rest assured. I will help to relieve your vengeance. I shal l let
the whole Phaseless Faction become nothing more than a desolated
grave to compensate for your son and daughter -in-law!" Xu Que was
sitting down within the old woman’s house and drinking the warm
porridge she gave. He slapped his chest and said those words in
confidence and guarantee.
The old lady let out a sigh, "Eh, our benefactor, you should quickly go.
There is no need to endanger yourself. This Phaseless Faction is filled
with demons and you must not provoke them. After I pack our
belongings, I am going to bring this child away from here. We absolutely
cannot let them have their way again."
"Old woman, don’t be afraid. The Phaseless Faction is filled with good -
for-nothings. Give me four hours and I promise you that I will eradicate
them. I am used to doing this and I am highly experienced." Xu Que
raised his head to finish the bowl of porridge and promised while wiping
his mouth.
In the past, when he spoke about such things, half of it would be

bullshit. But now, everything he said was real.
The old woman was stunned for a moment and hesitated.
Without wasting any time, Xu Que patted his clothes, and stood up, "Old
lady, just point to me the direction of Phaseless Faction and if four
hours later I’m not back, bring the child and leave here right away! But if
I return, you must cook for me your porridge again. This porridge is
delicious!" After finishing, he let out a smile.
As if his smile was infectious, it passed on to the old woman. Her heart
was filled with warmth. She thought for a little a nd nodded, "Phaseless
Faction is right behind those few mountains. Our benefactor, please be
careful. If you are in danger, please…"
"There won't be any danger. Just relax, I’ll be back very soon." Xu Que
waved the old woman off and left from the door imm ediately.
After that, his figure moved in a sweeping motion as he rode atop the
majestic-looking lightning. He then left for Phaseless Faction hastily.
After some time passed, a group of cultivators appeared. Among them

was an Original Infant Stage Elder and they were arriving from the
direction of the village.
They have apparently received the signal for backup from the bamboo
pipe. Additionally, the escaped Golden Core Stage disciples probably
explained the magnitude of the situation to them. It was no wonder the
Phaseless Faction stepped up and summoned an Elder over.
"Elder Wu, that’s him." One of the Cultivators saw Xu Que and
immediately pointed out to him to warn the Elder.
The Original Infant Stage Elder then focused his attention on Xu Que.
What accompanied was an air of immense might and crushing pressure.
"Young lad, you should kneel down and submit yourself!" The Elder
deeply commanded.
The group of Phaseless Faction disciples were also shouting, "You vile
robber! Quickly kneel down and kowtow! Do you think that you, a mere
Golden Core Stage cultivator, are really unrivalled?"
"You haven’t seen everything in this world. Let’s see how arrogant can
you be in front of Elder Wu!"
"Have you heard what our Elder said? Quickly kneel down!"
"Kneel down!"
With a strong Original Infant Stage Cultivator around, the group of

disciples seemed fearless and shouted at Xu Que loudly.
Xu Que briefly smiled and took out his Dark Buster Sword. He nodded,
"You bunch of people have such thick skins. You a bandoned your own
juniors to escape just several moments ago and now you have the cheek
to say all these?"
The few Golden Core Stage Cultivators’ expressions changed as they

berated, "Your Cultivation Stage is higher than ours, of course we have
to choose to retreat. Why would we die for nothing?"
"Yo, isn't that just running away?" Xu Que happily replied.
The few Cultivators were furious and gave a ‘Hmph’, not speaking any
further.
In contrast, a Core Bearing Stage fat man popped out from behind the
group and shouted, "Whoever runs is a pussy!"
"Good!"
Xu Que let out a laugh and held onto his Buster Sword. He concentrated
his Core Energy and waved his Buster Sword as he charged straight
towards the Original Infant Stage Elder!
"Insignificant being, how dare you show your disgraceful skills to me!"
Elder Wu sneered and brandished his flying sword in one hand as he
condensed a ball of golden colored flame on the other. He then
advanced towards Xu Que.
Xu Que’s eyelid twitched in astonishment. This Phaseless Faction’s

Elder Wu could use and execute two different skills at once.
At that same moment, he activated the Lightning Haste spell. The
lightning bolts interweaved beneath his feet and he managed to dodge
Elder Wu’s approaching blade with his increa sed speed. At the same
time, he stepped up higher in the air, raised his Buster Sword and
unleashed the Six Corporeal Forms upon him.
A gush of air wave charged towards Elder Wu.
"Eh?" Elder Wu let out a startled voice as his expression changed.
Core Energy shrouded around him which caused his figure to become
blurry. All of a sudden, a pair of lightning bolts formed beneath his feet
as well. With increased speed, he dodged Xu Que’s air wave.
"What the hell!" Xu Que let out a surprised sound and his fac e was filled
with astonishment!
The skill which Elder Wu used was the Lightning Haste!
Thi-This scum… how is it possible? How do people from this world learn
the Lightning Haste?
"Hehe… young lad, who knew that you have such wonderful skills up
your sleeves. But unfortunately, with my ‘Minor Phaseless Art’, I will be
able to use your skills!" The Elder landed in front of Xu Que, and coldly
laughed.
Xu Que reacted, and shocking replied, "Minor Phaseless Art? Did you
just learn my skill?"
Phaseless Faction, no wonder it’s called that. This Elder indeed has the
Minor Phaseless Art!
Xu Que remembered very clearly that there was a magic skill called
"Minor Phaseless Skill" which allowed a person to imitate the Kung Fu of
others!
However, the elder here learned the "Minor Phaseless Art". Although it
was only a one word difference, it seemed like their usage were the
same. It was mainly to imitate and learn the skill and arts from others!
"Good stuff, this is very good stuff!" Xu Que’s eyes lit up at the mom ent!
At the same time, a system beep sounded in his head all of a sudden!
"Ding! Detected an ancient Faction inheritance item. Congratulations to

host on triggering hidden task reward. Upon killing an Original Infant
Stage Elder, you will acquire a chapter of ‘Minor Phaseless Art’. After
collecting six of these chapters, it is possible to exchange for high-level
Sky-rank skill book ‘Phaseless Magic’!"
63 The Phaseless Magic
Chapter 63: The Phaseless Magic

Hidden task reward? Phaseless Magic?
Bloody hell!
Xu Que immediately widened his eyes.
This was the first time he had received this type of system message. It
became apparent to him that the reason for this message, was that the
Phaseless Faction had a very far-reaching history. Although they had
been reduced to a small Faction now, it still triggered the hidden ta sk
completion in the system and allowed Xu Que to chance upon this
stroke of luck.
Just by killing a single Elder, he’ll be able to acquire a chapter of "Minor

Phaseless Art". When six of them were accumulated, exchanging for the
"Phaseless Magic" was possible.
Xu Que was very clear that this skill was not available in the system
store and for this skill to be termed as "High-Class Sky-Ranked", it was
obvious that this skill book’s value was anything but ordinary.
"Young lad, bring out any magical powers you have from your arsenal.
I’ll let you be of some use before your death!"
At this moment, Elder Wu let out a warcry, and activated an identical

version of Xu Que’s Lightning Haste. Lifting up his sharp sword and
using it as a Buster Sword, he executed the the Flame-Devouring Wave
and advanced towards Xu Que with killing intent.
Of course, these skills were all imitations. The speed and power of the
imitated skills were not comparable to Xu Que’s as he could only imitate
around 30% power of the original skill.
Elder Wu’s eyes were filled with ecstasy. The two skills he had imitated
were remarkably powerful and had allowed his overall strength to
increase by several folds.
The group of Phaseless Sect disciples witnessed Elder Wu advancing,

and they all cheered him on.
"Elder Wu’s might is unmatched!"
"What a beautiful execution! His stance is out of this world. Only Elder
Wu could do that!"
"Elder Wu, quickly make a mincemeat out of this scum to avenge for the
death of senior brother!"
Xu Que creased his brows and also used the Lightning Haste to dodge
Elder Wu’s attack. He secretly celebrated that he had not used his
Soaring Dragons Nine Transformation. If he did, Elder Wu’s power
would increase again.
However, the situation at hand was still ver y endangering to Xu Que.

"Why? Do you not dare to use other skills? Or should I say that that’s all
you have in you?" Elder Wu slashed his sword through the air and
mockingly laughed.
Xu Que briefly nodded, letting out an icy cold smile from his lip corner,
"Old fart, you talk too much! You think you are all tough with your Minor
Phaseless Art? I’ve a skill which you definitely cannot imitate. Want to
see?"
"Hehe… you ignorant little lad. There‘s no skill that I, from Phaseless
Faction, cannot learn and imitate!" Elder Wu started to laugh maniacally.
"I shall show you!" With a chilly laugh, he lifted his palm in the air and
chanted in his mind.
At the moment, a serene, white-coloured flame emerged from his palm.

It started to churn non-stop, giving out a chilly aura. The flame then
started to diffuse and fill the air around.
Elder Wu squinted his eyes and quietly activated the Minor Phaseless
Art. But at the next moment, he was stunned.
"How… How could this be possible? Why couldn’t I detect any skill ?!"
Elder Wu was astonished. Could it be that there existed a skill which the
Minor Phaseless Art cannot learn?
"Dumbass. It’s because this isn’t a skill! It’s a mystical flame. Now go to
hell!" Xu Que’s eyes let out a chilly light and thrusted his palm f orward.
Boom!
The mighty Bone Freezing Fire abruptly rushed forward and akin to a
gust of white-coloured wind, it engulfed Elder Wu and the group of
disciples in a flash.


"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Golden Core Stage

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Golden Core Stage

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing Golde n Core Stage

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing Phaseless Faction

Elder. The reward is 200,000 experience points and the <> Chapter x1!"

A chain of system beep message appeared and sounded in his mind.
Xu Que immediately entered the system interface, opened up the item

bag and a book, identical to a martial arts manual appeared. It was the
<> Chapter.
[ <> Chapter]:
Phaseless, shapeless and no traces can be found.
After collecting three identical chapters, it can be combined to form the

"Minor Phaseless Art". Mid-level Earth-ranked skill uses one’s body to
imitate others. After perfecting skill, the imitated skill will have 40% of
the original’s power!
After collecting six identical chapters, it can be combined to form the

"Phaseless Magic". High-level Sky-ranked skill, uses one’s body to
imitate others. After perfecting skill, the imitated skill will have 80% of
the original’s power!
"Wow, damn! This Phaseless Magic defies natural order. It’s able to
imitate the opponent’s skills and have 80% of its power. It’s definitely
comparable to the ‘Battle’ Secret Character from the Nine-Characters
Secret." Xu Que was shocked.
In the Nine-Characters Secret, the ‘Battle’ Secret Character, was

similarly a high-level Sky-ranked skill book. It had the same function of
being able to imitate skill from others but after mastering it, the power
from the imitated skill would be even stronger than the original skill
itself.
It’s a pity that the ‘Battle’ Secret Character was very difficult to obtain.
The rate of acquiring it was seven to one. Xu Que did not have too much
act tough points presently and definitely did not have the capacity to
gamble for it!
Therefore, with the hidden task reward that the system had given, Xu
Que was overjoyed. It was definitely a tool to act tough!
"Phaseless Faction, here I come!"
Xu Que laughed out loudly and quickly advanced towards the Phaseless
Faction.
But as he turned around, he saw a pile of frozen corpses. Behind them

was a chubby piece of flesh crawling on his stomach.
Whoah! That’s a human!
"Get up, don't hide. With your mesmerizing, chiseled figure, there’s no
use hiding anywhere. Don’t think I can’t see you." Xu Que quickly
walked over and kicked his buttocks as he coldly sneered.
The chubby man’s reaction was quick and immediately crawled up and
hugged Xu Que’s thigh before he sullenly pleaded, "Master, master,
please spare me! I have a big family to take care of and I’ve not done
any bad deeds…"
Xu Que was elated. He recognized this chubby man. He was the one
behind the group to jeer, "Whoever runs is a pussy" before the fight
started. Who knew that such a thick-skinned person is calling him
Master. It seemed as if he was admitting that he was a pussy.
"You fat piece of grease. You are quite smart aren’t you? How did you
manage to dodge my flame?" Xu Que was curious.
The chubby man bitterly replied, "I… I’ve stolen some Minor Phaseless
Art, so… I used the lightning move you used to dodge your skill."
"Hmm, not bad. Stand up. I won’t kill you for now. You better lead the
way." Xu Que laughed and replied.
The chubby man froze in his tracks and nervously asked, "To… To
where?"
"To Phaseless Faction, to kill all of your people!"
A chill was sent down the chubby man’s spine. He opened his mouth
and immediately cried out, "Alright! I will quickly lead the way and let
you kill the whole Faction. I’ve not been fond of those bunch of old
people since the beginning."
Xu Que laughed loudly but didn’t speak. The disciples of the Phaseless
Faction all had similar personalities. They would run if the situation was
bad for them and would take advantage of any situation to make
themselves better off.
64 With This Skill, I Can Act Tough

Chapter 64: With This Skill, I Can Act Tough

With someone to lead the way, Xu Que didn’t have to personally search
mountain by mountain. He immediately activated the Lightning Haste,
dragged the chubby man by his collar and left for the few mountains up
ahead.
In no time, the both of them landed upon the foot of the mountain at the
Phaseless Faction.
What they could see was a mountain path continuing upwards,

branching out to even more paths.
At the same time, there were several sedan bearers carrying a

decorated and luxurious sedan chair standing at one of the side paths.
They seemed unsure as to which direction to go.
Seated in the sedan chair was a young man wearing a cloud-pattern

embroidered robe. His appearance was delicate and handsome -looking.
In addition, he had the personality traits of one from the Yushu Tibetan
prefecture. It seemed like he was at the Golden Core Cultivation Stage.
Bearing his anxious-looking face, he came upon Xu Que and the chubby
man. He quickly raised his voice, "Oi! Two of you, stop right there. Do
the both of you know where the Phaseless Faction is? If you lead me,
the son of a noble there, I will reward you handsomely!"
"Another arrogant prick!"
Xu Que was rushing to destroy the Phaseless Faction and did not have
time to cater an arrogant royalist.
However, when the chubby man turned his head to the sedan chair and
saw the noble’s son, his expression changed. He muttered to Xu Que,
"Master, the person in the sedan chair is the son of the Senior Minister
of Fire Country. I once saw him in the Imperial City."
"The Senior Minister’s son is none of my damned business. Quickly lead

the way!" Xu Que replied with his eyes getting wider.
"That way!" The chubby man pointed out the direction miserably.
Xu Que did not waste any time. He dragged the chubby man and
activated the Lightning Haste. Immediately, his figure became fuzzy and
they swept past the sedan chair onward to Phaseless Faction!
Looking at the both of them leave, the young man was initially shocked
at the weird skill he was using. But after that, he thought of the fact that
Xu Que just ignored him and that he gave him an expressionless look.
He momentarily widened his eyes and furiously exclaimed, "Screw them!
I, the son of a noble, asked them to lead the way because I felt that they
were capable. And they did not even take a look at me? Even those
small time princes from the capital wouldn’t dare to ignore me like that."
A servant from the side pleaded, "Boss, please calm down. These two
people are just some punks from the mountains who don’t know what is
good for them. After you learn the Minor Phaseless Art from the
Phaseless Faction, you will definitely become unrivalled and no Golden
Core Stage Cultivators will be a match for you."
"Hmph! It’s just a mere Minor Phaseless Art. I don’t think it’s as strong
as what the legends exaggerated. It’s only capable of imitating low
leveled skills, nothing much. In the end, it has its limits and only exhibits
a certain percent of the original. If it’s really that stron g, the Phaseless
Faction would have been cleared out long ago and even my father was
unable to protect them. If not for the fact that the Emperor wanted to
pick his son-in-law for the Princess two months later, I wouldn’t even
bother coming to such a place. However… the lad in the black robe has
a rather peculiar skills!"
…
At the same time, at the Phaseless Faction...
Xu Que entered the mountain gate, tossed the chubby man inside and at
the same time, held the Dark Heavy Buster Sword in his other. The
Buster Sword casted a large and imposing shadow. With a stance
capable of taking down ten thousand men, he executed his big plan to
eradicate the entire Faction!
"Atrocious! Who dares to break into the Phaseless Faction? You

definitely do not fear death!"
Tens of disciples rushed forward with a war cry.
In the end, Xu Que slammed his Buster Sword down. He had

successfully used the Six Corporeal Forms to its full potential and the
figure of his Buster Sword covered a wide area.
One by one, the Core Bearing and Golden Core Stage disciples all
exploded into fogs of blood under the immense pressure of his giant
Buster Sword.
The chubby man was the most unlucky. He tried to act smart and
secretly activated the Lightning Haste he imitated from Xu Que to
escape.
Although Xu Que did not want to kill him, the chubby man sent himself
towards the giant Buster Sword and died in the hands of the Six
Corporeal Forms spell.
"Damn, I wanted you to become my errand boy after this. You idiot, you
just sent yourself to death!" Xu Que scolded in his mind and continued
slaughtering the others.
"You atrocious thief! Stop it at once!"
Quickly, the Elders from Phaseless Faction emerged. Even the head of
the Faction was alerted. He was a frail and skinny-looking old man who
was at the Original Infant Stage, level 8.
After they appeared, they proceeded to activate the Lightning Haste
from Xu Que. They quickly surrounded Xu Que in all directions, hacking
their swords towards him. It was the Buster Sword skill of the Six
Corporeal Forms!
"What a bunch of vixens!"
Xu Que pouted his lips and activated his own Lightning Haste spell,
escaping from the circle of Elders. They must’ve been hidden in the dark
when he was killing the rest of the Phaseless Faction disciples and
learnt the skill from him then. Now, here they are, all using his skill to
attack him.
"Who summoned you to make a ruckus over here?"
"You really don’t know where you stand. You are just a mere Golden
Core Stage, how dare you act insolent around here?!"
"You better submit yourself and hand over all the skills you have learnt."
A few of the Elders said evilly with stern expressions. They were
scheming to learn the other skills Xu Que possessed!
Xu Que sneered, "Since you people so nicely asked, then I shall be

generous and explain. It’s in order to protect this world from devastation,
to maintain world peace, to spread love and righteousness… Pfff! Can't
make up anymore. Anyway, I am going to be generous and explain
everything to you all before your deaths. A few years ago, you people
persecuted a married couple who were disciples. And now you are after
their child. Don’t you think that this is too ridiculous? Because of that,
today, I am going to do something ridiculous too. Like killing all of you!"
Finishing his swords, Xu Que expelled a wave of Bone Freezing Fire

from his palm. A chilly burst of flames fluttered forward, intimidating
everyone around!
"Hehe... do you think you alone are qualified to avenge them? I shall…
Eh? Why can't I detect any skill presence?" One of the Elders was
jeering but his expression suddenly changed and stared at the flames in
Xu Que’s palm in awe.
"How is this possible?"
"There are no skills we Phaseless Faction cannot imitate. What the hell
is that?"
Everybody else, including the head of Phaseless Faction were stunned.
Xu Que lifted his lip corner, "Let me tell you all. This is called Mystical
Fire. The brilliant and famous Bone Freezing Fire!"
Finishing up, Xu Que thrusted his palm outwards.
A majestic-looking flame escaped into the air. Akin to a roaring ice

dragon, it engulfed them in an instant like waterfall.
"Not good! Hurry!!!" The head of the Phaseless Faction widened his
eyes and shouted out.
Before he could finish, he was enveloped by the Bone Freezing fire and
the group of them became a bunch of ice sculptures on the spot!


Elder. The reward is 200,000 experience points and the Chapter x1!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing Phaseless Fact ion

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing the head of Phaseless

Faction. The reward is 200,000 experience points and the Chapter x2!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on completing the hidden task

reward and finding all six chapters of the . Acquired the . Do you want to
train the skill?"
High-level Sky-ranked skill, uses one’s body to imitate others. After

perfecting the skill, the imitated skill will have 80% of the original’s
power!
"Of course, I’d want to train it. As the saying goes, with remarkable
skills, one can act as tough as they want. How can I not train the skill!"
Xu Que exclaimed while laughing.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on successfull y training

‘Phaseless Magic’!"
Xu Que’s lower abdominal area started to feel a gush of warmth. The

warmth then started to flow throughout his body and he felt as if he had
a thorough body massage. He felt more comfortable and refreshed than
before.
Thus, the High-level Sky-ranked skill book has been learnt.
"Phaseless, shapeless and no traces can be found! What a profound

skill. Who knew that these Phaseless Faction disciples were versed in
such unique art. They would flee when the situation isn’t advantageous
to them. They are indeed shapeless and escapes with no trace to be
found!"
Staring at the now empty Phaseless Faction, Xu Que couldn’t help but to
laugh.
Only a few Qi Refining Stage worms slipped away and this was not a
concern to him at all. On top of that, the Phaseless Faction had already
been eradicated. They wouldn’t dare to consider themselves as
Phaseless Faction members anymore in fear that enemies would attack
them.
Xu Que was too lazy to care. He turned and headed down the mountain.
Following the path out, not too long after, in front of him appeared a few
sedan bearers carrying a sedan chair, rushing over.
It was the Senior Minister’s son from before!
Xu Que slanted his lips. He couldn’t be bothered to find trouble. Minding

his own business, he then hummed a small tune and leisurely brushed
shoulders with them.
At this time, the sedan curtain opened up. The Senior Minister's’ son
stretched his body and looked towards Xu Que. After witnessing Xu
Que’s remarkable skills, he was more polite and asked, "Friend, were
you sent down the mountains by the Phaseless Faction? Is this road the
way to the Faction?"
Xu Que’s raised his eyebrows and waved his hand in disapproval, "You
want to go to the Phaseless Faction? Forget it! There is no s uch Faction
anymore. I’d advise that you people join the Heaven Explosion Faction
instead. That Faction is much better than the Phaseless Faction. That’s
all. Goodbye!"
65 Looks Like It“s My Chance To Act Tough Again
Chapter 65: Looks Like It's My Chance To Act Tough Again

Whistling, Xu Que gradually travelled away from the mountain.
"Hiccup…"
The son of the Senior Minister looked as Xu Que’s figure moved into the
distance. His mouth was slightly opened and was a little startled.
The few servants at his side stared blankly for a moment and said,
"Boss, what did the person in the black robe mean? Heaven Explosion
Faction… What kind of Faction is that? Why haven’t we heard of it
before?"
"I think you are blind. How dare you ask me about that? If I knew what
he meant, why am I still sitting here contem plating?" The Senior
Minister’s son stared at them and reprimanded.
The few servants immediately asked for forgiveness, "Boss, please calm
down. It’s our fault for asking. We must be blind. Also, the man in the
black robe must be crazy and talking nonsens e. Boss, you need not care
about him. Let’s follow this path and we will reach the Phaseless
Faction!"
"Why are you all not lifting the sedan then? Also, when you all meet the
head of the Phaseless Faction, make sure to be polite. Don't embarrass
me. The head of the Faction is of the same cultivation level as my
father!"
"Yes Boss, we understand. Please be rest assured!"
Together, they lifted the sedan and continued forward again.
Soon after, they were at the mountain gates of the Phaseless Faction.
However...
"Eh? Why is there such a heavy smell of blood here? What has
happened?" One of the servants creased his brows and exclaimed.
The few of them continued and eventually reached the entrance of the
Phaseless Faction. They were flabbergasted.
The entire courtyard was filled with silence. The ground was fully
stained with fresh blood. In the center, several ice sculptures of various
elders could be seen!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a piece of garden rockery was pushed to the ground. A few

pale-faced Qi Refining Stage disciples could be seen. With frightened
faces, they crawled out. It was apparent that they had been hiding
behind the garden rockery the entire time.
After they emerged and saw that there were still people in the courtyard,
they became immediately terror stricken and wanted to turn tail and flee.
One of the servants quickly reacted and shouted out, "Friends, don't be
alarmed. We are from the Minister’s Residences of the Imperial City.
The son of the Minister is inside the sedan. May I ask what has
happened to your noble Faction?"
When the few Qi Refining Stage Disciples heard that they were from the
Minister Residences, they heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down a
little.
At this time, the noble son of the Minister’s Residence also lifted up the
sedan curtain and walked out. After he squinted and scanned the
surroundings, he looked towards the few disciples and asked, "What
exactly has happened here? Where is your Faction head?"
The few disciples became pale, raised their arms and pointed at the ice
sculptures in the center of the courtyard while trembling. They cried out,
"Our… Our Faction head… he is dead! The Elders are all dead. Our
Seniors… They are all dead! Our Phaseless Faction is gone. Everything
is gone!"
"What?" The Minister’s son was momentarily stunned. A few of the

servants became pale too and became speechless.
"Who… Who did all these?"
"Although the Phaseless Faction isn’t considered a big Sect, they have
quite a reputation in the Fire Country. To meet with such calamity, was it
possible that the Faction has offended a monster of an Infant
Transformation Stage Cultivator?"
"No wonder the lad in the black robe said that there was no more
Phaseless Faction. It turned out that he saw this scene unfold!"
The few servants were discussing quietly but when the Phaseless
Faction members heard those words, their faces became pale yet again.
"Per…...Person in black robe? Is… Is he at the Full Foundation of the

Golden Core Stage and carrying an ink-coloured, giant Buster Sword?"
They asked the servants and convulsed in fear.
The few servants were stumped and nodded, "Yes, why? Do you know
the person? He looks a little arrogant."
"..."
At this moment, the Qi Refining stage disciples froze and were too
shocked to say a single word.
After a few moments of silence, one of the disciples replied faintly, "The
one who killed our entire Phaseless Faction… was the person in the
black robe!"
"What?" The Minister’s son and the servants were all blanked out and
shortly after, they involuntarily laughed.
"Hey, this is not a trifling matter. Are you joking? Telling us that the
person in black robe, who is merely at Full Foundation of the Golden
Core Stage, eradicated the entire Phaseless Faction all by himself?"
"Yeah. How could you people say such absurd things? Were you all
scared out of your minds?
"What exactly happened? Please think properly…"
The servants nodded and replied.
However, the few Phaseless Faction disciples who were still filled with
trepidation and eyes full of fear, confidently replied, "We didn’t
remember wrongly. It was definitely that black robed person and his
Cultivation Stage is absolutely not only at Golden Core Stage."
"Respected guests, we only dare to say what happened up ‘till this

point."
"Now, what we only want is to quickly get out of this barren waste of a
land. The further, the better. If the black robed person returns, we will
not be able to live on any further. We shall take our leave now!"
After finishing their words, they immediately fled.
The Minister’s son and the few servants were astonished and their
hearts were in doubt.
However, the Minister’s son recalled the remarkable skills the black
robed person exhibited and felt a chill ran down his spine. His forehead
broke out in cold sweat as if he was frightened.
...
At this time, Xu Que had already returned to the village. On the road, he
randomly received system messages from several instances of acting
tough. However, he didn’t really bother about them and returned straight
to the old woman’s home.
But… The old woman had already brought her grandson and fled. Still,
there was a bowl of lukewarm porridge on the table!
"Sigh… Four hours wasn’t even up." Xu Que sighed but didn’t blame the
old woman for not trusting him.
After all, the fear which mere mortals have for Cultivators was immense.
"Doesn’t matter. The news of the Phaseless Faction being destroyed will
travel quickly in any case. When the time comes and when the old
woman and child hears about it, they will definitely return! I shoul d leave
for the Imperial City."
In the end, Xu Que finished the bowl of porridge in one gulp before he
regrettably left the small house and activated his Lightning Haste. He
hovered upwards and along with the wind, continued his journey towards
the Imperial City.
A few days later, Xu Que entered a wild forest. An Original Infant Stage
Demon Beast had blocked his path.
Xu Que did not know whether to laugh or cry.
A few days ago, when he slaughtered the bunch of Phaseless Faction

people, his experience points has already reached more than 1,300,000
points and he needed over a hundred thousand more points to level up.
Who knew luck was on his side and a Demon Beast which was worth
200,000 experience points appeared right in front of him.
Might as well kill it!
"Bang!"
Xu Que held up his Dark Heavy Buster Sword and condensed his mighty
Core Energy. A strong energy escaped from his body and engulfed him.
With his robes which were as dark as night swaying with the wind, he
executed the Flame-Devouring Wave and charged towards the Demon
Beast mercilessly.
Stage Demon Beast. The reward is 200,000 experience points and
random reward drops!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for lev eling up from the Full
Foundation of Golden Core Cultivation Stage! Ready to advance to the
Forty-Nine Heavenly Trial!"
"According to system calculations, the Heavenly Trial will commence in

seven days. Difficulty mode: Difficult Mode!"
Damn it!
Xu Que widened his eyes and immediately shouted, "What the hell! This
is my first Heavenly Trial and you’re making me do it in Difficult Mode?
System, please don’t play such a joke on me. Didn’t you promise me to
bring me to greater heights and greater ways of ac ting tough?"
"Ding! Since host is training the Ancient Five -Elemental Arts and this
Skill Path’s power is unmatched, the Difficult Mode is already the
easiest difficulty as of now. In the future, there could be Hell Mode,
Asura Mode, Nine Deaths Mode…"
"Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!"
Just as Xu Que was listening to the system message in his mind, his ear
twitched a little. Not too far off, there was a faint noise.
Following the sound was the six emerging silhouettes.
These six people were of the Original Inf ant Stage. They were wearing
white clothes along with a red coloured mask, only exposing a pair of
eyes filled with murderous intent!
"Not here. Continue to search. We won’t let her live!"
The six people briefly scanned Xu Que but they totally ignored hi m.
They then turned and continued deeper into the forest.
Xu Que felt a chill. He scratched the back of his head in doubt and
continued on.
A few steps later, he suddenly saw a horse carriage not too far in the
distance. Surrounding the carriage were many corpses with fresh blood
flowing all over the ground.
"Eh? This horse carriage…" Xu Que gasped in shock and astonishment.
"This horse carriage looks very familiar. It has a flag of the Fire Country
on its roof. Damn… now that I recall, isn’t this the group I saw at the tea
house six months ago? Looks like… they have been chased down and
murdered by the group of people in red masks. Tsk tsk tsk… looks like
it's my chance to act tough again."
66 The Flaming Sun Princess’ Desired Prince
Chapter 66: The Flaming Sun Princess’ Desired Prince

Being chivalrous was not something Xu Que liked to do. Even if he did,
half of the reason was mainly to act tough.
Ever since he was transported to this world and received the acting
tough system interface, he had been either acting tough or was about to
act tough.
After easily deducing that the group carrying the Fire Country’s flag
were being hunted down and killed, Xu Que immediately began to his
search.
It was a pity that he didn't even know who was sitting in the horse
carriage.
After a few hours of searching, other than finding more corpses amongst
the trees, Xu Que found nothing of interest. He laid down atop a tree
and let out a long sigh,
"My gosh, I just wanted to quietly and peacefully act tough. Is it so

difficult?"
He shook his head, entered the system interface and started looking in
the system store.
After he destroyed the entire Phaseless Faction a few days back, he had
accumulated four hundred over act tough points. To him, it was quite a
comfortable amount to shop with. Therefore, he decided to see what
valuable items could he get in order to progress further.
After looking for a long while, he did not find anything unexpectedly.
However, he saw that there was a new treasure in the Junk Items
bundle.
From the possession of the Son of Thousand Faces "Wang LianHua", it

has a very strong effect of changing one’s appearance. It can be used to
change one’s appearance once. The appearance will be very life-like,
making it very difficult for others to distinguish the fake from the original.
(This item is ineffective against anybody who is above the Infant
Transformation Cultivation Stage!)
Selling price: 200 act tough points!
"Damn you, are you trying to rob me? A piece of human -skinned mask
for 200 act tough points? Isn’t it more expensive than a Sky-ranked skill
book?" Xu Que widened his eyes upon witnessing its price.
For an item so expensive, it would normally have a quite remarkable

function to it. But for this so called "High-ranked Human-Skinned Mask",
other than concealing one’s appearance, it basically has no other
function. The only acceptable fact is that the item is ineffective only
against people who are above the Infant Transformation Stage.
In other words, if he wears this human-skinned mask, strong Infant

Transformation Stage users cannot detect his true appearance.
"Ding! The High-ranked Human-Skinned Mask can change to whatever

appearance the host needs. After the appearance is decided, the system
will go through an evaluation to calculate extra attributes as add -ons to
the item." The system responded to Xu Que in his mind.
"Eh? It has extra attribute bonuses as expected. That’s not too shabby.
Does it add strength or speed?" Xu Que became curious.
"This mask can only provide bonuses to two types of attributes. Namely,
the Charm and Luck points. At your current state, host, the system
suggests that you buy the item!"
Are you kidding? Suggesting that I buy it?
Xu Que was not too happy about it, "Screw that. With my personality
and looks, do I look like I need to raise my Charm points? What joke are
you cracking? I’m sure that I’d be able to charm big groups of girls no
matter where I go!"
"According to the information here, you will be going through a Difficult

Mode Heavenly Trial in seven days. Luck points have a very good effect
in the trial!" The system replied.
Xu Que became a little shocked and anxiously asked, "So you were
talking about the luck points. Are you for real? I can’t even see or touch
luck. Who knows if it really works?" Xu Que said those words but was
actually feeling a little convinced.
The Luck Attribute does not have a physical form. But when it works, its
effects will be impossible to resist.
Xu Que pondered and contemplated for a while, bit his teeth and
decided to buy one and try it out.
"Since I can't find anyone in the horse carriage, I sh ould buy the human-
skinned mask to add points into Charm and Luck. After I find those
people, I will be able to act tough a few times to collect back what I’ve
spent. Maybe I can even earn more than that. Damn, I’m such a genius!"
Xu Que chose to purchase the human-skinned mask on the spot.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on successfully purchasing the

‘High-ranked Human-Skinned Mask’. Consumed 200 act tough points.
Please proceed to imitate an appearance!"
Following the system beep message, a human face in front of Xu Que

appeared . At the same time, an image of his own appearance appeared
in his mind. The mask then followed immediately and transformed into
his own appearance.
Xu Que was astonished. He then thought of the face of a famous actor

from Earth, who was from his previous life. The human -skinned mask
immediately went through a transformation.
"Damn, so it’s being used this way. Let’s try Li XiaoYao!" Xu Que
thought and decided on a new appearance.
Although his own looks were not too bad, since he bought the mask, he
couldn’t bear waste it. Also, he was reaching the Imperial City soon.
Instead of wearing the black robe everyday, he could come up with
another look to do things more efficiently.
In the end, Xu Que decided to use the male actor who was from his
previous life on Earth. His name was "Hu Ge" and he would be using the
actor’s looks when he was at his prime. When he was the most
attractive. In his earlier days, he acted as Li XiaoYao, who was a kind
and sincere character. After he raised to fame, he acted as the matured
Mei ChangSu.
With this face attractiveness and traits, it was versatile and could handle
any type of style which suited Xu Que perfectly!
"Do you want to confirm this appearance?" After choosing his persona,
the system asked for confirmation.
"Yes!" Xu Que confirmed without hesitation.
After a "Swoosh" sound, a white-coloured light flashed past the human-

skinned mask. Hu Ge’s face appeared in front of Xu Que right after.
When he checked the mask’s properties again, there were already

changes.
From the possession of the Son of Thousand Faces "Wang LianHua", it

has a very strong effect of changing one’s appearance. The appearance
of the mask has already been decided.
The appearance will be very life-like, making it very difficult for others to
distinguish the fake from the original. (This item is ineffective against
anybody who is above the Infant Transformation Cultivation Stage!)
Charm Points +20
Luck Points +2
"Are you kidding me? It only added two L uck Points?" Xu Que
immediately overlooked the Charm Points, stared at the miserable two
Luck Points added and shouted angrily.
However, the system went silent and didn’t reply him.
Xu Que slanted his lips and entered the System item bag interface. He
immediately took out and equipped the mask.
Then, he felt a rush of warmth through his face but did not feel any
different.
Xu Que jumped off the treetop and ran to a small river bank not too far
in the distance. He stared down and realized that his own face has
transformed into an ancient period edition Hu Ge!
Immediately after, he thought out to the system and felt another rush of
warmth through his face. His face immediately returned to his former
self. It seemed that he could switch the appearances back and forth
unlimitedly.
"Eh? Why do I feel that I’ve become more handsome?" Xu Que looked at
his reflection and suddenly became bewildered.
He reacted again. It felt like those 20 added Charm Points was already
in effect. Even he himself almost got mesmerized by his own looks!
"Hahahaha! This is too much fun." Xu Que laughed out loudly. While
equipped, no matter which face he was currently on, the 20 Charm
Points and the Luck Points would always be in effect.
Xu Que gave instructions to the system by thinking again and switched

back to Hu Ge’s face. He then pulled down the hood of his black robe
and decided to temporarily use this appearance and continued towards
the Imperial City.
However, as Xu Que turned his body, a shadow appeared from within

the river. It was rapidly enlarging.
Next, he head a "boom" sound. An explosive splash followed and out

came a red-coloured Blood Python. It opened its gigantic mouth and
charged towards Xu Que.
Sensing danger, Xu Que, with his fast reflexes, immediately activated

the Lightning Haste and dodged away.
At the same time, he took out the Dark Heavy Buster Sword from his
back and stared at the Original Infant Stage Blood Python. He scolded,
"Your mum is retarded! How dare you give me a scare by sneak
attacking me. You’re finished."
Finishing, the Dark Heavy Buster Sword started to transform into a giant
blade. Covering a wide area, he charged towards the Blood Python.
"Boom!"
With his boundless might and menacing stance, the Blood Python was
shocked and momentarily froze in its tracks.
However, its reaction was rather quick. It just managed to dodge the
Buster Sword by an inch. Shortly after, without any hesitation, the Blood
Python turned tail and ran with a "whoosh" sound.
"Still dare to run?" Xu Que held up the Buster Sword and chased after it.
At the same time, not too far from the river, under some tall and old
trees, there were two women hiding in the corner. It was Zi Xuan and
the Flaming Sun Princess who were from the horse carriage earlier.
However, the two of them looked different. They went through a disguise
by changing into some Coarse hemp clothings they retrieved from some
other place and looked like they were from the village. On top of that,
they smudged some mud over their fair and clear sk ins. They would
definitely not be recognized easily.
The both of them looked serious. They were checking their surroundings
cautiously with frowns on their faces.
"How extremely daring of the Metal Nation to make a move on us. On

top of that, they dispatched so many Original Infant Stage fighters. They
definitely want us dead!" Zi Xuan tightly gripped her tiny hands and
exclaimed while gritting her teeth.
An intent to kill flashed past the Flaming Sun Princess’s eyes. She
coldly replied, "Those people are not normal Original Infant Stagers. If
I’m not mistaken, they should be Sky Demon's group of elite killers!"
"What, Sky Demon, that’s unexpected!" Zi Xuan’s expression changed.
"That’s right. Rumors say that the Sky Demon killers don white -colored
robes with a red mask on, possessing remarkable sword skills. From the
skills they’ve exhibited just now, I’m positive it’s Sky Demon!" The
Flaming Sun Princess said with a cold tone.
Zi Xuan’s tiny face turned pale, losing some color, "To spend some
much money on hiring these Sky Demon killers to ambush us, the Metal
Nation are really big spenders. Princess, I’m afraid this time we have to
try to escape amidst this chaos."
The Flaming Sun Princess went quiet for a while, and briefly sighed, "Zi
Xuan, it seems like I’m the burden this time. Their target is only me. I’ll
go distract them later so that you’ll have the chance to leave here…"
"Princess, I’m sure that you are clear about what I’ve told you in the
past. I will not listen to these type of orders." Zi Xuan immediately
persisted with a stern expression.
The Flaming Sun Princess tried to open her mouth but turned into a
bitter laugh. She nodded, "You’ve always said that with my personality,
I’ll never find my Prince and that no one would want me. But with your
temperament, you are not too far off from me."
Zi Xuan laughed and mocked, "No. I was just kidding with you in the
past. In reality, there are many sons of nobles who wish to court you. If
all of them were to line up, they would definitely make a circle around
the entire Imperial City. It’s just that you are interested in none of them."
"Although similar to my age, these spoilt and hedonistic sons are weaker
than me. The highest Cultivation Stage amongst them is only Golden
Core Stage level 5. None of them are qualified to be the Flaming Sun
Prince!" The Flaming Sun Princess replied unenthusiastically.
Zi Xuan lightly sighed, "You’ve always judged people according to their
strengths. I personally feel that being together require both parties to
have similar feelings to one another. If you like him and he likes you, it’s
enough. Actually, in the Imperial City, there are some suitors who have
very refined personalities. Have none of them moved your heart
before?"
The Flaming Sun Princess lightly no dded, "My perfect Prince is the type
to assume responsibilities and have outstanding strength amongst the
crowd. His Cultivation Stage need not be too high but he must be at
least at the Golden Core Full Foundation. When I need him, he must
always appear on time. An example is today’s tragedy…"
"Oh, my Princess! Are you choosing a husband or bodyguard? Even if a

Golden Core Full Foundation Stage Prince appeared, he would not be
able to reverse any of the tragedies. Those people are the elite group of
Sky Demon Killers and each of them are of the Original Infant Stage." Zi
Xuan spoke as she lightly nodded and continued, "Unless he is a
prodigy with the Heavenly Fire roots, in which case he would be able to
repel the Original Infant Stagers at the Golden Core Full Foundation.
Hmm, if that Xu Que didn’t die at that time, he would make quite a
suitable candidate for your qualifications. But it’s a pity…"
The Flaming Sun Princess, with creased brows, said, "He is not the only
one in the world with the Heavenly Fire Roots. I ultimately believe that in
my life as the Princess of the Flaming Sun, the real Prince who appears
before me will be even more outstanding!"
"Whoosh!" At this time, amidst their conversation, an abrupt movement

could be heard from the woods ahead.
"Is… Is this the aura of an Original Infant Stager?" Their expressions

suddenly changed and turned their pretty eyes towards the direction.
They were stunned at what followed.
An Original Infant Stage Blood Python emerged from the woods ahead.
It was frantically twisting its body around and struggling to flee.
Behind its body, a young man, donned with black robes and holding an
ink-colored Buster Sword was pursuing relentlessly.
67 Xu Que’s Unique Persona
Chapter 67: Xu Que’s Unique Persona

A Golden Core Stager chasing an Original Infant Stager? And an

Original Infant Stage Blood Python at that?
How… How is this possible?
The Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan were stunned!
The scene was absolutely astounding. According to logic, even if both

were at the Original Infant Stage, the demonic beast will be much
stronger than the human.
The demonic beast’s intelligence was in no way weaker and their flesh
was naturally superior. Their strength and speed, for the most part,
surpassed human cultivators. In fights, most demon beasts will triumph
over a human.
And yet, the Original Infant Stage Blood Pyth on, renowned for its speed
and craftiness, was being chased down by a young human man. On top
of that, the young man was only at the Golden Core Stage. Were they
dreaming?
Amidst their dumbfounded faces, they heard the escaping Blood Python
screaming, "Friend, please don’t go overboard. It’s just a
misunderstanding. Do you really have to kill me?"
"Definitely!" Xu Que hummed coldly. He was too lazy to speak further. In

an instant, he executed the Lightning Haste and the image of his figure
became blur. He then reappeared in mid-air.
Both his hands were holding the Dark Heavy Buster Sword. Then he
abruptly hacked downwards in mid-air. It was the Flame-Devouring
Wave!
With a gesture, a mountain breaking airwave appeared!
Bang!
The Blood Python could not dodge in time and was immediately caught
in the explosion of the airwave. Its entire body flew upwards, knocked
firmly upon a big tree and immediately fainted.
Xu Que rested the Buster Sword on his shoulder and wanted to walk
over to give the final blow. He then suddenly noticed the pair of women
near him.
"Village ladies? That can’t be… How could they have cultivated up to the
Golden Core Stage? Their faces are also smothered with mud. Are they
too ugly to show their faces or something? Heh, judging from the way
they are looking at me, they must be mesmerized by my charm. This
mask is definitely worth it!" Xu Que was elated just by looking at them.
However, his expression was calm and he managed to look strict at the
same time. He was going to act tough!
With expressionless eyes, his vision focused into the distance. He acted
as a profound thinker, akin to someone who had been through
melancholic emotions. But at the same time, he looked very matured.
Gently, he breathed in.
He followed this image up by looking towards at the fallen Blood Python

and righteously proclaimed, "God loves all creatures. For now, I shall let
you live. If you continue to hurt the innocent, I will come and take your
life." Finishing, Xu Que flicked his black robe backwards befor e turning
around to leave, taking large strides.
Throughout this entire process, he did not look at Zi Xuan and the
Flaming Sun Princess at all.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully forcefully acting

The system beep sounded in his mind momentarily.
Xu Que was secretly happy. An easy 110 act tough points had been
earned just like that.
He wasn’t very sure if the opportunity which arose was due to the 2 Luck
Points from the mask. But he couldn’t care less as he had already
earned back more than half of what he just spent.
Meanwhile, Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess were standing by the
side with faces still in astonishment.
Xu Que overpowered the Original Infant Stage Blood Python in a mere

single blow and had surpassed their imaginations!
More importantly, this Blood Python was very close to ending up in his
item bag but he chose not to kill it. It seemed as if the Blood Python was
worthless in his eyes.
After Xu Que walked some distance away, Zi Xuan suddenly snapped

out of her astonishment. She looked at the Flaming Sun Princess in
haste and said, "Princess, that person is very strong. He could take
down an Original Infant Staged Blood Python while being at the Golden
Core Maximum Stage himself. If we manage to ask for his protection, we
might be able to escape from here."
The Flaming Sun Princess frowned, creasing her brows , "If I, the
dignified Princess, were to put down my pride and seek for the help from
a Golden Core Stage stranger for protection, it would taint my name.
Also, although his power is remarkable, with that many Original Infant
Stage Sky Demon killers, he will be no match for them. Zi Xuan, rest
assured. Father should have already received my distress signal and is
sending help over. We should hide for a little while more!"
"This place is so far from the Imperial City. Even if the Flame Emperor
has sent help, it would take a very long time for them to reach here." Zi
Xuan thought for a while and suddenly laughed, "Princess, I have an
idea. With our current looks, if we don't reveal our identities, nobody will
be able to recognize us. We can have him send us to a safe place and
reward him with some Spirit Stones after. There will be no interaction
any more after that."
After the Flaming Sun Princess listened, as if a little swayed, she knitted
her brows and contemplated.
"Ai ya, my Princess, please don’t hesitate anymore. Come with me and
seek for his help. We’ve already seen him being so forgiving to a Demon
Beast. He will definitely not leave us to die!" While talking, Zi Xuan
pulled along her hand and chased after Xu Que.
Some moments later, Xu Que heard some footsteps coming from behind
and was startled a little.
Turning back, he saw the two woman running towards him.
One of the woman, with pleading eyes, gently asked, "Friend, could you
please hold on? I have something to ask of you!"
Xu Que was wearing the human-skinned mask and this was absolutely a
good chance to act tough all the way.
In an instant, with gloomy eyes, he lifted his head and briefly looked at
the two of them, "What could these two ladies possibly ask of me?"
With a calm and clear voice, akin to lukeman water in a stream, flowed
past their ears.
The both of them were slightly startled.
Zi Xuan was still feeling alright but the Flaming Sun Princess’ heart
started to beat rapidly within her chest.
With all the people that she had been in contact with all these years, all
of the noble men’s sons were either men who gave too much respect
and were elegant or men who likes to flatter her too much.
However, she had never met a man so calm and composed like still
water. The only person was this black robed man standing right in front
of her.
Possessing outstanding strength, he was able to crush a Blood Python

in one hit. But he was compassionate at the end, turning around and
leaving.
His each and every move faintly emitted a certain unique persona. Also,
he had that pair of dark, ink-coloured pupils, having the depth to
suffocate anyone looking at it. It was as if the pair of eyes could attract
anyone and one look would be enough to charm anybody.
The Flaming Princess’s heart, seemingly frozen for ten thousand years
in its abyss, started to thaw away, bit by bit and started beating at this
instant.
However, very quickly, she suppressed this slight undulation. Her eyes
regained its apathetic look and her expression became icy cold once
again.
At this moment, Zi Xuan started to speak, "To be honest, my… my sister

and I are from the Imperial city. A few days ago, we came out to play but
were attacked by enemies on the way. Our servants are all dead but we
put on a disguise and managed to escape up ‘till this point. Could you
please protect and send us siblings back to the City? If we manage to
return, we will give you a satisfying reward!"
After hearing, Xu Que blanked out for a moment, followed by him being
alarmed.
This two… Don’t tell me they are the people in the horse carriage?
Damn it… I’ve searched everywhere only to find them here. I had to
spend so much effort. After hours of searching with no results, who
knew I’d find them here. Looks like this response is the work of the Luck
Point attribute of the human-skinned mask!" Thinking up ‘till here, Xu
Que chuckled in his heart. Acting on with a dignified expression, he
looked at the two and asked, "Your enemies… were they wearing white-
colored long robes, wearing red-colored masks and were Original Infant
Stagers?"
"Yes, friend… Have you seen them?" Zi Xuan froze. She started to worry
as she was afraid that the man in black robe wasn’t going to help them.
After all, the group of killers were all of the Original Infant Stage!
Unexpectedly, Xu Que’s face did not change in the slightest. In a

resounding manner, he said, "People of my generation all have utmost
righteousness and loyalty, treating everyone with sincerity. Both of you
ladies, don’t worry. I shall do my best to protect and send you both back
to the Imperial City. Neither am I afraid of any amount of Original Infant
Stagers, nor am I fearful of sacrificing my own life. No matter what
happens, I won’t give up!"
68 That Imposing Back View Of Xu Que
Chapter 68: That Imposing Back View Of Xu Que


The reward is 60 act tough points!" The system beep sounded in his
mind.
The two girls were moved by Xu Que’s bold and reaffirming words.
Although such words of bravery were said to them on a daily basis, it

still managed to move them due to the extraordinary situation they found
themselves in!
But now, they were very clear that the black robed man, who was
standing right in front of them, was unaware of their true identity. Also,
they were won over by his positive attitude after seeing him spare the
Blood Python compassionately.
After all, Xu Que was a very strong individual. In this cold and
materialistic world, while the two women were at their wits’ end and
close to giving up, he was able to put them at ease with such
courageous words. This was a peculiar act in the harsh world of
cultivators!
Therefore, Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess were a little attracted
to Xu Que in that moment. Those feelings came about from a stir of
emotions which were hard to describe. If we were to describe what they
they were feeling in a sentence, it would go like... "There is still true
empathy and love in the human world!"
"I’ll always remember the compassion you have shown. If we survive,

you will definitely receive double of what you have done!" Zi Xuan was
rather moved and exclaimed sincerely.
Even with the Flaming Sun Princess’ arrogant and cold attitude, she
couldn't help but to give Xu Que a word of thanks.
"Don’t stand on ceremony. My only wish in my lifetime is to help

commoners with my utmost effort!" Xu Que waved his hands and replied
indifferently.
With eyes humbly looking up into the sky, his face was filled with deep
melancholy while being covered with a thick aura of acting tough.
The two women momentarily affixed their stare at Xu Que while feeling
shocked.
He was a man filled with unquestionable integrity and had a seemingly

refined character. What a noble gentleman indeed!

Xu Que was secretly feeling happy. He had finally earned back what he
had spent on the human-skinned mask.
However, he was not in the least interested in the reward the two ladies
had to offer. It was not because he was ‘great and noble’. He simply had
no interest in this so called reward. In the world of cultivators, items like
elixirs, weapons and Spirit Stones were exchanged and used frequently.
Xu Que had no lack of these items at all.
If he needed it whenever, he can always find any random sect from the
Demonic Faction and steal the items from them. Therefore, right from
the start, he had no need for anybody to offer him the items.
...
Very quickly, the three of them started to move and rushed to get out of
the woods.
The composition of the trio was rather odd. Firstly, nobody could
recognize Xu Que due to the human-skinned mask.
Secondly, with the Flaming Sun Princess’ face smothered with mud and
disguised as a village girl, Xu Que could not recognize her at all.
After all, he wouldn’t have thought that any proper Princess would land
herself in such a situation. Also, with the arrogant and cold personality
she had, it was totally different from his impression of a Princess who
was supposed to be cute and helpless-looking according to him.
And so, the three people, clueless about one another’s identity, began
their escape.
The Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan were still feeling panicky and
anxious, worried that the elite group of Sky Demon killers would
suddenly appear. If one or two of them appeared, they would still be
able to fight and try to escape. However, if three or four of them
appeared at the same time, the both of them would lose all hope of
escaping.
Xu Que couldn't care less. As long as they were not of the Infant
Transformation Stage, he was free of worries.
And so, Xu Que, carrying the Dark Heavy Buster Sword, forged ahead
and led the group at its front. His imposing temperament seemed so…
remarkable!
Perhaps, it was the additional 20 Charm Points working its effect. Zi

Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess remotely felt that Xu Que’s back
view was huge and imposing. It brought them a very big sense of
security!

The system beep sounded abruptly in his head. Xu Que’s could not help
but smirk since he was already used to it. Also, this was his first round
of profits after covering the cost of buying the human -skinned mask.
Therefore, Xu Que very much hoped for those killers to quickly appear
before him so that he would be able to earn more act tough points.
"Roar!"
From deep within the woods, snarls and roars by demonic beasts could
be heard. Apparently, even those killers weren’t safe from the fury of
demonic beasts lurking.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows and prepared to rush towards the direction
of the roar.
However, Zi Xuan tensed out and shouted, "Friend, let’s not go that
direction and take a detour!"
Xu Que stunned for a moment, briefly smiled and replied, "My apologies,
that was a natural reaction. I thought that there could be wicked
demonic beasts in that direction and wanted to help out!"
"Friend, your act of heroic courage is definitely respectable!" Zi Xuan

lightly laughed. It was her first time developing a feelings for a male
stranger.
The Flaming Sun Princess remained quiet all the way and didn’t speak.
Xu Que immediately waved away her words and let out a humble smile
towards Zi Xuan, "Lady, please do not flatter me. I am just doing what is
right!"
"Oh yes, how do I address you?" Zi Xuan asked.
Xu Que cupped his hands together in greeting, "My name is Hua Wu

Que!"
In actuality, he wanted to use other names. However, from the Martial

Art novels in his past life, there were very few men wort hy of being
called pretty boys. For example, there were Chu Liu Xiang and Li Xun
Huan and some others. Xu Que couldn’t think of a name on the spot and
blurted out a Hua Wu Que.
"Hua… Wu Que? Zi Xuan was stunned as if recalling something.
The Flaming Sun Princess’ eyes were also briefly filled with surprise.
She lightly lifted her eyes and glanced at Xu Que.
"Eh, have my lady heard of the name before by any chance?" Xu Que
asked curiously.
Zi Xuan laughed and lightly nodded, "Nope. It’s just that your name has
a ‘Que’ in it. It reminds me… eh, of an old friend. He also has a ‘Que’ in
his name."
"I see." Xu Que nodded his head slightly and continued on, not being in
the slightest interested to ask the two women about who they were
referring to or what they meant.
This startled Zi Xuan. She looked at the Flaming Sun Princess, sneakily
stuck her tongue out at her and smiled.
The Flaming Sun Princess slightly narrowed her eyes and did not say
anything.
If statuses were neglected and judged alone based on looks and

temperament, they were ranked to be the most eligible ladies within the
five nations. Countless arrogant scholars had revered them like
goddesses. However, this was the first time they were treated with such
a cold attitude and they couldn’t help but to feel peculiar.
"Princess, this Hua hero is not bad at all. If we are able to escape from
here, we can be friends with him. Teehee… when the time comes where
you restore your appearance, he will definitely be speechless at your
exceptional beauty." Zi Xuan moved closer to the Flaming Sun Princess
and whispered.
The Flaming Sun Princess stared and her sourly and did not say a
single word.
However, unknowingly, her heart was filled with a little anticipation.
This anticipation was not because she liked Xu Que a lot or anything of
that sort. It was because she was unwilling to accept the fact that she
was treated coldly by someone. She merely wanted to see his surprised
face after she had revealed her identity.
However, one should be happy that the two ladies did not wipe the mud
off their faces. If Xu Que recognized the Flaming Sun Princess, he
would certainly not care about acting tough. Instead, he would definitely
show off the skills of his Dark Heavy Buster Sword or even activate his
Buddha’s Fiery Lotus to show off.
Not long after, night gradually came.
Zi Xuan took the initiative and asked Xu Que to stop and rest for a short
while.
After all, the two ladies had been escaping for a day. Much of their Core
Energies were used up. Even at the Golden Core Stage, they were worn
out.
Xu Que wanted to stay at the forest badly for a longer period of time in
order to find more opportunities to act tough. He happily obliged.
And so, while the two ladies were sitting down against a tree to rest, he
took the chance and ran to gather some firewood, took out some leftover
chicken wings from over a day ago and prepared to start roasting them.
69 A Serious Man Is The Most Dashing!
Chapter 69: A Serious Man Is The Most Dashing!

Under the pitch black skies, Xu Que was moving a pile of firewood and
settled it down on the ground. He condensed his fire core energy and
immediately ignited the firewood effortlessly.
The firewood cracked and cackled under the flames, causing Zi Xuan
and the Flaming Sun Princess to be startled awake.
"Young hero Hua, what are you d—" Zi Xuan opened her eyes wide in
apparent amazement.
The the three of them were on the run! If he were to start a fire in the
middle of the night, wouldn’t that attract all his enemies over?
Xu Que waved a hand in the air and had a calm and indifferent
expression, "We’ve been on the road for the entire day. It’s about time
we ate something. You don’t have to worry about those elite killers as
well. When I was picking firewood earlier, I set up an ancient defensive
spell around us. This spell can only be broken through by Infant
Transformation Stage cultivators. Once anyone lower in level than that,
they would be disintegrated instantly." He spoke extremely seriously and
subdued the fears of Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess.
"Young hero Hua, you’re actually proficient with casting spells?" Zi Xuan
asked in surprise.
Xu Que gave a snigger as he feigned modesty, "I only know a little, only
a little. Killing several Original Infant Stage cultivators isn’t a problem!"
"This…" Zi Xuan’s mouth gaped wide open in shoc k.
Even the Flaming Sun Princess furrowed her brows tightly and spoke
out coldly, "I’ve never heard of any spell that could kill an Original Infant
Stage cultivator instantly."
Zi Xuan hurriedly nodded her head as well, "That’s right, young hero
Hua. Hurry and extinguish the fire. If those killers were to spot the fire,
we would have no way of escaping!"
"No worries, please don’t worry. You have to trust me on this. The spell
was handed down to me by my ancestors and can really kill Original
Infant Staged cultivators easily!" Xu Que laughed out loud.
Actually, he didn’t place any of his spells around them. He had no

patience for all that preparation and didn’t want to waste his effort and
time. His plan was to attract those killers over and kill them all at once.
Doing this was akin to killing two birds in one stone. He could resolve
the ladies’ problems and could earn an entire bunch of act tough points.
That was a win-win situation for everyone.
Xu Que didn’t speak further as he took out several marinated chicken

wings from his inventory and placed them over the fire and started
roasting them.
Zi Xuan was clearly taken aback, "Young hero Hua. You… You’re eating
this? Those are chicken wings. There isn’t any meat in those. You
shouldn’t be eating them!"
The Flaming Sun Princess fronwed as well, her expression was one of
coldness and indifference.
Back at the palace, only the best delicacies within the country would be
served and placed on the dining table. Domestic and common fowls
such as chicken didn’t have the requirements to be on the royal dining
table. Hence, regardless of how hungry they were, even if an entire
roasted chicken was placed in front of the Flaming Sun Princess, she
wouldn’t even bother looking at it. Much less the small and boney p iece
of chicken wing which most commoners won’t even buy to eat.
But at this point, this Hua Wu Que was putting them in such danger, just
for a mere few pieces of chicken wings!
"It is edible! You will find out in a while." Xu Que was clearly distracted
from appeasing them and didn’t seem to be very interested in their
concerns. Although he enjoyed flirting and teasing the ladies, he prefers
to act tough and cook good food!
To be honest, Zi Xuan and the Princess had themselves to blame for

being covered in mud from head to toe and looking dishevelled and
unkempt. How could their current state compare to the allure of acting
tough and good food? If they were to clean themselves up and revert
back to their original beautiful selves, then it was clear Xu Que would be
much more attentive to them.
"The wings from a chicken are such low grade, lousy food. Even normal
people will throw it away but you’re taking it as food. Are you really in
such a situation that you have to stoop so low and eat such food?" The
Flaming Sun Princess opened her mouth to speak, sounding extremely
crass and insensitive.
Xu Que heard this and was clearly unhappy. He furrowed his brows and
replied, "Whoa!"
The Flaming Sun Princess was taken aback by this outburst of insolence
and was about to shout out, "you have the audacity!" but Zi Xuan was
faster than her and tugged on her sleeves, reminding her not to be rash.
The Flaming Sun Princess sucked in a breath of fresh air, "Put out the
fires. Once we return to the Imperial City, I promise to let you have good
food…"
"Chi!"
Just at this point, the few chicken wings started to roast nicely as the
skin crackled in apparent doneness. The oil from the wings were
gleaming in the fire as it popped occasionally.
A decadent and delicious aroma wafted in the air and filled their nostrils,
warming their hearts even without eating it.
The Flaming Sun Princess was stunned!
Even Zi Xuan was astounded. Chicken wings... could really produce

such a delicious aroma?
The corners of Xu Que’s lips curled upwards in a smile. He knew that

the people from this world didn’t have food as good as wherever he
came from. So what if their status was lofty? So what if they had the
most exquisite and exotic foods? Compared to his secret chicken wing
recipe, there was no comparison.
"The old beggar from the previous encounter, whose cultivation level
was even higher than the Infant Transformation Stage cultivator boasted
about having the best foods from all around this world. Even he agreed
that my chicken wing was the best he’d ever had. The both of you are
just mere girls from the Imperial City. I don’t believe you’ve ever had
anything as good as this." Xu Que exclaimed under his breath.
Before long, the chicken wings looked almost ready to be consumed. Xu

Que then retrieved a bottle of high quality honey and a brush. He then
started brushing the chicken wings with honey.
"Chi-la!" A large burst of white smoke ascended to the air, bearing with
it is a thick and decadent smoke. The delicious aroma from the chicken
wings were sure to make anyone’s stomach growl with desire.
The Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan widened their eyes as well but
didn’t speak a word.
Compared with the prospects of starvation, the pair of them were

astounded by his ability. Just several mere chicken wings could be
transformed by this "Hua Wu Que" into something which smelt so good.
He could even make the chicken wings look so appetizing with its
brown, slightly burnt hue. It was indeed astonishing.
"My fair ladies, would you like to have it mildly spicy or medium spicy?
Or would you like to have it pervertically spicy?" At this point the bottle
in Xu Que’s hands were no longer the honey but instead, chilli flakes.
He turned his head and asked the pair of them.
The Flaming Sun Princess didn’t reply but Zi Xuan paused for sometime
before replying shyly, "Mild… Mild spiciness!"
"Done!" Xu Que laughed as he replied.
The sky was dark but the moon was shining brightly in the vast sky,
illuminating the roast pit.
The fiery fires shone a light at Xu Que’s handsome looking face.
With a flick of his wrist, drops of chilli flakes descended like fiery
raindrops as they floated gently before landing atop the roasted chicken
wings. It was almost like he was putting up a show, decorating the
chicken.
Such an image was deeply engraved on the hearts of both these ladies.
After all, a serious man is the most dashing!
After all, Xu que had 20 additional Charm points added to his features.
The pair of ladies were starting at Xu Que as he completed his

preparations. Only after the delicious smelling and appetizing chicken
wings were brought in front of them did they finally regain their senses.
"You’ve all been through a tiring day. Come and have something to eat.
Then we can happily depart from the Im perial City." Xu Que smiled
warmly as he spoke.
Under such an atmosphere where the flowers around were in full bloom
and the moon was bright and round, the fire was burning warmly beside
them. One man and one woman… Eh, one man and two women. The
night was still and quiet.
At this moment, a person would be most at ease and comfortable.
Xu Que’s action and his easy smile, coupled with the additional Charm
points had a huge impact on both these ladies.
One was a Princess and the other was the Princess’ be st friend. The
both of them were often the center of attention wherever they went.
They’ve enjoyed the status of celebrities and stars.
They were both prideful and independent women. Regardless of whether

it was Zi Xuan or the Flaming Sun Princess, the pa ir of them were aloof
and proud deep down.
But right now, Xu Que acted like he was an older brother to them.
Coming out from nowhere like a knight in shining armor, bringing them a
feeling unlike any other. This feeling was called being looked after,
having someone to rely on.
With such a feeling in her stomach and heart, Zi Xuan accepted the
chicken wings gladly.
She revealed such a sweet smile of gratitude like a young and innocent
girl. She looked up at Xu Que before gratefully receiving the chicken
wings and whispered a word of thanks.
The Flaming Sun Princess however, with her cold heart and usual
aloofness, was stunned and anxious at such a situation. Her emotions
were a whirl.
Hence, the only way she knew how to react was to appear cold and fight
off the butterflies in her stomach.
Her face was cold and icy as always as she turned her face towards him
and spoke fiercely, "Take this away from me. This Princess can’t
possibly eat such trash."
The minute her words were spewed out, she paused in sho ck, knowing
that she had said something wrong. "This Princess?" was a clear sign
that she had revealed too much about her identity.
Zi Xuan’s face fell in shock!
Even Xu Que was astounded!
70 “This Princess? This Princess?”
Chapter 70: “This Princess? This Princess?”

"Who are you?" Xu Que’s face changed completely as if he just recalled
something. He then stood up and shouted out.
His movements were very exaggerated as he flipped over the entire

roast pit. The golden brown chicken wings all fell into the mud with a
splat.
Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess jumped up in fright at Xu Que’s

sudden outburst, their faces were clearly startled.
"Hrmm!" Xu Que cleared his throat and didn’t ask any more questions.
He pointed out a finger from each hand and condensed his water Qi as
he sprayed out two jets of water right at their faces.
His reaction and movements were so quick that the pair of them simply
had no time to react. Their dirt filled and muddy faces were instantly
being washed away by the jets of water and revealed their fair and clear
complexions.
"What are you doing?" Zi Xuan asked irritably a s she shrieked out.
The Flaming Sun Princess’ face was full of fury as well as she gave Xu
Que a death glare.
Xu Que was astonished by whatever he saw. Soon after, his pupils

dilated as he laughed out manically, "Ji Wan Qing, indeed, it’s you!"
"You… How dare you refer to the Princess by her name?" Zi Xuan asked
out in shock.
The Flaming Sun Princess scolded out harshly as well, "Hua Wu Que,
you have the audacity. Since you already know that I’m the Flaming Sun
Princess, you dare to be discourteous and disrespectful? With your
crime, I could punish you by killing your entire family and all your
relatives!"
"Hahahaha!!!" Xu Que laughed out loud in apparent anger, "You wish to

wipe out my family? It’s a pity that I’m the only surviving member of my
family. Besides, I’m not Hua Wu Que. You take a good look at me now
and see who I really am!." His voice echoed out and reverberated in all
directions like a powerful wave of energy.
Such rage and fury stemmed from the memories of this body. Those
memories had fused with his being and was now a part of him.
He had been purged of all his energy and cultivation prowess before
being tossed away like an inanimate object. The memories of that scene
kept flooding into his mind.
Xu Que’s eyes exuded murderous killing intent as he slowly raised his

hand to peel back the Human Skinned Mask from his face.
"Chi-la!" The features and face of Xu Que appeared right before the
Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan.
"My adorable Princess, your highness. We’ve only been apart for
several months. Surely you haven’t forgotten your husband?" Xu Que
laughed out loudly.
"Wh-What?" Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess were dumbfounded.
No matter how she considered the possibilities, she never would’ve

imagined that the person standing before them was… That Prince
Consort from six years ago. The one who had a one in a million innate
talents.
"That’s impossible! My father, his majesty had already killed you. How
could you still be alive?" The Flaming Sun Princess widened her eyes,
her entire face was etched with incredulous disbelief.
A person who was supposed to have died and whose spiritual roots
were plundered from, someone who would never have been able to
cultivate further, had actually showed up before them.
And he was even able to attain the Full Foundation level of the Golden
Core Stage. At this point, his might was terrifying and he could even kill
a demonic beast of the Original Infant Stage so easily!
She simply couldn’t accept this fact!
"Why is it impossible? Why do you think heaven gave me a second

chance at life? I think it's to take revenge on your Ji family. Because
you, Ji Wan Qing are vile and cold blooded. You don't have any right to
be a Flaming Sun Princess. And that old dog Emperor Ji has no right to
be an Emperor as well! Since the title of royal family has landed upon
your Ji family, I'm sure the reign will end with your generation!" Xu Que
laughed out in furious anger. With a smack of his hand, the Dark Heavy
Buster Sword appeared and he pointed it at the Flaming Sun Princess.
"Stop it!" Zi Xuan was visibly upset as she dashed across and spread
her arms, standing in between Xu Que and the Princess. She then
shouted out, "You… You can't kill us. Don't you forget, you just
promised to protect us!"
"Hehe... my apologies. I am a nearly perfect man. The only flaw I have

is that I have a loose tongue and don't always mean whatever I say.
That's one thing about me that will never change!" Xu Que burst out
laughing as he slashed his sword down, ready to kill.
Zi Xuan was anxious for both their lives and hurriedly spoke out, "Hang
on. Xu Que, listen to me. All these years, the Princess never…"
"Zi Xuan, you shut up now!" The Flaming Sun Princess scolded her
harshly and stopped Zi Xuan from speaking further. Her gaze wa s icy as
she glared straight into Xu Que’s eyes and spoke, "I don't have to
explain matters concerning my royal Ji family to an orphan boy who
should've died by the side of a deserted road!"
"But Princess..." Zi Xuan clearly wanted to speak out further bu t the

Flaming Sun Princess shot her a menacing glare which shut her up once
more.
Xu Que was clearly raging in blind fury and didn't even bother to clear
up any possible misunderstandings. All he knew was that the person
who stole his fire spiritual roots and robbed him of his life and chance of
cultivation was this Princess!
"What an exemplary person, Ji Wan Qing. So this is your true color.

Your stupid princess temper has finally shown. You place yourself above
everyone else and think too highly of your self. Who would’ve expected
that your cute and helpless image was all just a pretense. It must’ve
been hard on you to put on a false front for me all those years. But truth
be told, I do admire your acting skills!" Xu Que laughed out coldly.
The Flaming Sun Princess’ expression was as cold as ice as she

replied, "So what? This Princess wishes to see how you plan to take me
down!"
"Killing you shall be easier than killing ants. But doing so means letting
you off too easily. Ever since the day of our great wedding, the flirtatious
look on your face has left a deep and unforgettable impression on me.
Hence, I wouldn’t mind stripping you down and throwing you into the
Imperial City. Then, everyone under the heavens would be able to see
you for who you really are." Xu Que squinted his eyes. When it came to
his enemies, he was capable of doing anything.
"Outrageous!" The Flaming Sun Princess raged out as her body

trembled in anger. The fury within her heart was immense.
Zi Xuan’s expression was that of nervousness. She looked at Xu Que

and begged, "Xu Que, please stop speaking anymore."
"Fine. I really don’t want to carry on speaking pointless words anyway!"

A cold gleam appeared in Xu Que’s pupils as he gripped the Dark Heavy
Buster Sword tightly and he conjured the Lightning Haste Spell, planning
to charge down upon the Princess.
The Flaming Sun Princess pushed Zi Xuan away as she faced Xu Que
boldly. At the same time, the storage ring on her finger lit up. A short
flute which was made out of jade appeared in her palms.
She looked at Xu Que and taunted, "Xu Que, this Princess doesn’t owe
you anything. Since you wish to kill me, I have the right to let you die
here in return!"
The minute her words were spoken, she placed the jade short flute to
her lips as she condensed her core energy and blew it out onto the flute.
She blew a long and sharp piece, which translated into ripples in the air.
It circled overhead before diffusing out far away.
Not far away, several men were searching for the Princess when they
heard the blast from the flute. One of them frowned before happily
exclaiming, "Flaming Sun’s Jade Flute. That’s the object which the little
bitch possessed. Quick, they’re over there!"
At the next moment, several shadows transformed into blood rays as

they moved with such astonishing speeds.
They all wore white robes, wielded longswords and had red masks on
their faces. Just the sight of them was enough to terrify anyone.
They were the Sky Demon killers. Each one of them were in the Original
Infant Stage. Every time they drew their swords, blood was surely spilt.
Just as the few of them reached, they could see more blood rays
appearing around them. They were all killers of Sky Demon and were all
attracted to the sound of the flute.
The Flaming Sun Princess maintained an icy expression on her face as

she pointed at Xu Que and shouted out to the Sky Demon killers, "This
man is my Prince Consort. If you wish to kill me, you have to get through
him!"
"Jiang!" In that instant, more than ten Sky Demon killers were present as
they drew their swords in unison almost mechanically. The cold steel
which they held were scary beyond measure.
Xu Que gave a cold laugh and shook his head, "Ji Wan Qing, you’re
playing it very well. I can see you wish to use their streng ths to kill me.
It’s such a shame. Did you actually think that these mere trash can kill
me?"

The system rang out once in his head. At the same tim e, he could feel
the death glare being emitted from those few killers who were staring
right at him.
It’s just that to him, these men were nothing. These men were nothing
more than trash!
"Die!" The Sky Demon killers didn’t even bother speaking. They wer e
particular about effectiveness and getting the job done. More than ten of
them moved in unity as their shadows moved together and transformed
into blood rays. Their swords jabbed towards Xu Que as they charged
right at him.
"Let’s go!" The Flaming Sun Princess took hold of Zi Xuan and
whispered silently to her as they fled into the depths of the forest.
"When the Sky Demon killers arrived, I knew that it was difficult for all of
them to focus their attention on him. I didn’t expect him to be so stupid
to issue a challenge to them. He managed to gain all their attention,
granting us our wish!" The Princess looked back once more, her lips
curled into a mocking smile.
Zi Xuan seemed to be unable to bear all this but she kept her mouth
sealed and remained quiet.
"Boom!" A loud crash could be heard from behind before the sound of a
strong wind could be heard. It almost sounded like the crash of a
thousand waterfalls.
Soon after, a large gale of strong wind blew across!

The both of them panicked as they turned their heads back. In that
second, whatever they saw... startled them!
That person in black robes, who was holding on to his Dark Heavy
Buster Sword was coming straight for them. He almost looked like a
demon who had climbed his way up from the ninth l evel of hell. He had a
sly grin on his face as he took large steps across the frozen pond. He
wore a white flaming crown across his head and was walking towards
them.
Each step he took was like stepping on their hearts.
And that bunch of Sky Demon killers had long been transformed into ice
sculptures and ceased to exist.
71 Most Poisonous Madame
Chapter 71: Most Poisonous Madame

"How… How could it be?" The Flaming Sun Princess’ mind was a blank,
her face was frozen in fear as she mumbled to herself.
"Boom!" The both of them flew down from the sky and dropped on the
ground, causing a mound of dirt and dust to fly into the air.
Both of them didn’t react to that fall. Instead, they looked dazed and
disheartened as though they had given up on life. They sat on the
ground and watched as Xu Que approached them step by step.
The young hero in their eyes who was brave and chivalrous that made
them feel good about a man for their first time… had became a
monstrous and terrifying person. He glared at them with grievous killing
intents as he strode nearer towards the pair of ladies.
Their hearts and emotions were on the verge of collapsing.

They didn’t know what happened earlier but were extremely afraid at
whatever they currently seeing.
There were more than ten of those Sky Demon killers and each one of
them were highly skilled. They were all of the Or iginal Infant Stage.
However, in just several moments, this person could cause all of them to
freeze into ice sculptures and took their lives just like that.
A Golden Core Full Foundation Stage cultivator could actually crush

those Original Infant Stage cultivators so effortlessly as though they
were mere ants.
The Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan’s mind kept on replaying

whatever Xu Que had said earlier, "Do you think that these mere trash
could kill me?"
Could they kill me?
The Flaming Sun Princess laughed out bitterly as she shook her head.
At this point, she realized how scary this Xu Que was.
This feeling of meeting someone so powerful that she choked on air and
found it hard to breathe was extremely new to her. Even when in the
presence of her father, she never experienced such a sensation!
This Xu Que before her eyes, wasn’t the same man who had been
locked up and forced to cultivate in the basement of the palace all those
years ago.
That Xu Que had died. And this Xu Que was the nearly revived p erson.
He was so much stronger than before.
...
Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess started remembering those

details and rumors.
Ever since they returned from the Water Nation, they’ve heard countless
of rumors regarding this powerful "Xu Que".
A Golden Pill Stage cultivator could wipe out the entire Fallen Spirits
Sect!
A Golden Pill Stage cultivator could ruin Celestial Sect!
From the start, the both of them weren’t too worried about him for they
thought that he was just the product of rumors and exaggeration. They
hardly believed in those rumors and questioned its authenticity.
But now, after they recalled all those rumors, they realized that, that Xu
Que was the same person standing before them. They knew that it was
true because nobody else was able to cause such widespread
devastation.
"Why? Why did it have to be you?" The Flaming Sun Princess was
completely astounded. No matter how she thought about, she would
never have imagined that a beggar who had to rely on the royal family to
survive had morphed into such a fearsome creature.
A Golden Core Stage cultivator who could easily kill tens of Original
Infant Stage cultivator. Once he’s broken through to the Original Infant
Stage or even Infant Transformation Stage, how terrifying would that
be?
"Why can’t it be me? Since the heavens refused to let me die, that
means it’s the will of the heavens for me to be alive. My dear Princess
wife, the will of heaven is not to be played around with. Before long, it
will be the day where your Fire Country shall be buried and annihilated.
Seeing the terrified looks etched on the faces of the Flaming Sun
Princess and Zi Xuan, Xu Que laughed out loudly, feeling extremely
satisfied.
Although the Xu Que who was made to suffer all those torment and
humiliation years ago wasn’t actually him, when he transcended realms,
Xu Que had completely merged with the feelings and memories attached
to this body. Hence, whatever deep seated hatred he had felt was real
and truly experienced by Xu Que.



He could hear a series of beeps ring out in his head. However, Xu Que’s
attention wasn’t on the rewards.
He looked at the shocked and terrified Princess and walked over. He

then touched her chin gently and spoke to her mockingly, "Why do you
look like that? My esteemed Princess, who do you think will be able to
save you now?"
"No! Xu Que. You can’t kill the Princess. Actually, the Princess didn’t…"
Zi Xuan was by the side and was stumped out of her wits. She hurriedly
walked up trying to explain something.
Before she could complete her sentence, the Flaming Sun Princess
interrupted her once more as she looked at Xu Que coldly, "That’s right.
Xu Que, in the past my Ji family indeed has let you down. But if it
weren’t for the fact that we picked you up from the streets and took you
in to our family, you would have remained a street beggar who would’ve
probably starved to death by now!"
"But if you would let me off today and allow me to safely reach the
capital of the Imperial City, I will ensure that my father will reward you
handsomely. You can have whatever you want, be it a high ranking
official post or to acquire a cultivation technique which defies the
heaven. Whatever you want, I will agree. You can even bec ome the
Prince Consort of the Fire Country once again."
"Picked me off the streets and took me in? Hehe… The only reason you
saved me was because of the innate fire spiritual roots which I
possessed! I’ve always been nothing more than a mere tool to you.
Besides, do you really think that I would wish for the bullshit riches and
wealth from your Imperial City?" Xu Que gave a cold laugh. He never
imagined that this Flaming Sun Princess would actually be so logical
and rational even in the face of death. She actually still wanted to rely
on her royal family to gain some leverage.
Seeing that the Princess had nothing more to say, Xu Que laughed out
coldly once more, "But, I shall not kill you for now. If you wish to know,
there are other more terrifying punishments than death."
"Xu Que, what are you thinking of doing? She’s the respectable Princess
of the Fire Country! Quick and release us immediately!!!" Zi Xuan
shouted out at the side.
"You sit down now!" The mystical fires started to glow from within his
body, causing the pair of women to fall to the ground in immense fear
once again. None of them dared to move a muscle.
It wasn’t easy for fate to allow him the chance to meet with the Flaming
Sun Princess. Xu Que wasn’t going to kill her so easily. Besides, what
was most important at this point was how he was going to get the map
of the imperial tomb of the Fire Country from this situation.
"It’s such a shame that these food had gone to waste." Xu Que returned
to his resting place earlier and shook his head gently.
The chicken wings from earlier had fallen to the ground and was
covered in mud. It had lost its appeal and delicious appearance. Xu Que
felt it was such a waste.
He then recalled how just several hours ago, all he wanted to do was to
innocently act tough and earn some points before leaving.
He never would have expected that one of the ladies he rescued was
actually the Flaming Sun princess which he had always wanted to
revenge against.
Apart from being extremely incensed, Xu Que had no other distracting

thoughts.
He sat down by the side and pondered deeply on how to use this
Flaming Sun Princess to deal with that dog of an Emperor. Also, he
wanted to know how he could use her to enter the imperial tombs.
Saving Xiao Rou was the most important matter to him presently.
...
At the same time, Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess sat on the
floor, not daring to move a muscle.
Xu Que was seated not too far away. Although he wasn’t guarding them
very strictly, they knew that they weren’t able to e scape Xu Que.
The Flaming Sun Princess sat down and cast her head down as she
looked at the dirt. She was clearly disheartened.
After several breaths, her eyes turned as though she had just made up
her mind on something important. She then whispered soft ly, "Zi Xuan,
pass me the bottle of wine which we acquired from the Water Nation."
Zi Xuan’s expression froze as she hurriedly shook her head, "That won’t
do Princess. The Core Yin Yang Wine is prohibited by Water Nation.
Besides, when a man drinks it, he would lose his abilities instantly.
When a woman drinks it she… She..." She couldn’t carry on her
sentence.
The Flaming Sun Princess then continued, "When a woman drinks it she
will have an immense and unparalleled sexual desire!"
"That’s right Princess. I know what you are trying to do. But if he finds
out, he will not show any mercy to you!" Zi Xuan was extremely anxious
as she whispered, shooting random furtive glances over to Xu Que,
afraid of being discovered.
The Flaming Sun Princess gave a plain laugh, "Zi Xuan, have you heard
of the saying, ‘once husband and wife establish a nights of relation, they
would have an eternal bond’? Xu Que and that fake Princess had
relations. But up ‘till now, he still doesn’t know that the ‘Princess’ was
actually a concubine who had pretended to be me."
"The only reason he hasn’t killed me yet was because he still has
feelings for ‘me’ after that night. If I were to approach him and admit
defeat and offer him some wine, he would most certainly accept it.
Besides, you shouldn’t worry. The potency of the wine is extremely
strong. Even an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator wouldn’t be able
to tell anything until he’s been affected."
"But…"
"No more buts. This is our last hope. Right now, he’s only a Golden
Core Stage cultivator and he’s already so strong. Can you imagine how
much stronger he will be once he reaches higher levels? If we allow him
to get stronger, Fire Country will be annihilated by him!" Flaming Sun
Princess spoke up to this point as she stretched out a hand firmly
towards Zi Xuan.
Zi Xuan was extremely unsure of what to do. Being caught in such a

difficult position, she didn’t respond for a long time.
The Flaming Sun Princess lost her patience and hastily removed the
storage ring on Zi Xuan’s finger. She thought about the action in her
mind and removed Zi Xuan’s authority over the ring. She then retrieved
two bottles of wine from within the inventory and stood up.
"No, Princess!" Zi Xuan tugged on her sleeves.
"Since father could kill him once, I’m sure I can kill him once myself as
well!" The Flaming Sun Princess laughed out and shook Zi Xuan’s grip
over her sleeve as she walked towards Xu Que confidently.
72 To Be Undone By Your Own Intelligence
Chapter 72: To Be Undone By Your Own Intelligence

"Eh?" Just as Xu Que was deep in thought, he heard a pair of gentle

footsteps approaching him. He regained his senses and looked across.
Under the soft glow of the moon, the Flaming Sun Princess was walking
over graciously. She had a calm demeanor across her face as her pale
hands held onto two bottles of wine.
"Xu Que." She called out to him gently, her voice sounded mild and
apologetic. She then carefully strode over to where he sat. She then
spoke calmly, "This Princess knows you hate my Ji family. But this is a
world where the strong triumphs over the weak. When you are
powerless, you'll be twirled around the fingers of the strong. Even the
powers of life and death can't be decided by yourself. That's exactly how
this Princess feels when in your presence."
"However, those six years which we we're together, I cannot totally

forget. Hence I shall drink a toast to sever our husband and wife
relations once and for all. So that when you finally do kill me, you won't
bear the title of ‘wife killer’ as a result." After she finished speaking, she
then handed the jug on her right hand over to Xu Que.
The jug on her right contained the Core Yin Yang wine. The jug on her
left was just plain normal wine. Both these wine looked and smelt the
same. But the one she offered was poisoned!
Although Xu Que didn't know, he wasn't going to blindly accept that jug
of wine.
He looked closely at the Flaming Sun Princess and noticed that she had
no emotions across her face at all. He then looked away and completely
ignored her.
The Flaming Sun Princess’ heart fluttered. That stare by Xu Que was so
cold and icy, catching her completely off guard.
Could it be that this Princess guessed wrongly? Had he discarded their

relationship a long time ago? That's not possible.
The Flaming Sun Princess didn't dare to give up hope and asked out
once more, "Is the reason you won't drink this wine is because you're
afraid that I might poison you or that you're still upset about what
happened in the past?"
Xu Que mumbled to himself before laughing out coldly, "You're thinking

too much. I won't ever drink wine with two types of people. The first type
are dead people and the second type are lowdown scums. You happen
to fulfill both criterias, so why should I drink with you?"
"You…" The Flaming Sun Princess was enraged.
"You better be honest right now before I decide what to do with yo u and
cherish your last few living moments and reflect on all the evil atrocities
you've done." Xu Que berated her and laughed out in mockery.
What a joke. This big brother of yours have read so many years worth of
comics and novels on the internet. Do you think all of it have gone to
waste? Why would you randomly come here and bring me wine to drink?
I'm 100% sure it's poisoned!
"The only mistake I've made was to sleep with you. Now all I want
before my death is to sever all ties with you. Why can't you even grant
my final wish?" The Flaming Sun Princess asked through gritted teeth.
Xu Que’s eyebrows twitched as his lips curled into a sinister grin, "With
your current situation, you have no bargaining chips left to make
requests of me. But I agree to severing all ties as husband and wife with
you. Pass me the wine."
As he finished speaking, he reached out a hand.
The Flaming Sun Princess’ expression remained neutral, as if she had a

thousand years of winter written across her face. She then handed Xu
Que the wine held on her right hand.
Xu Que wasn't in a hurry to drink it. He summoned the system and

shouted out in his head, "System, check if this wine is poisoned!"
"Ding! Check is complete. This is the Core Yin Yang wine. When a man
drinks it, he will lose all his cultivation powers and would never be able
to cultivate ever again. When a woman drinks it, it will immensely turn
on her sexual desire. The only way to relieve her of it is if she sleeps
with a man. (Note: If the man’s cultivation is higher than hers, the man
will absorb all her powers and cultivation abilities, but will not affect her
cultivation in future.)
"Damn it. I knew there was something wrong with the wine. System, are
there any methods to swap the wine in her hands?" Xu Que asked in his
head. Since even this wine would harm a woman, he assumed the other
jug of wine would be harmless!
"Ding! If you spend 30 act tough points, you can purchase a Swapping
Talisman which could swap both these wines." The system replied.
"I wish to purchase one. Also, help me search for a poison which would
give me full control of a person’s life and death!" Xu Que sneered and
purchased the Swapping Talisman without hesitation.
At the same time, the system revealed a new page with him with
different types of poisons. One of them in particular caught Xu Que’s
attention.
[Corpse Devouring Pill]:

The pill is controlled by the thoughts of this host. If anyone were to
consume the pill, the host would just have to think of activating it in
order for the pill to be dissolved within the body of the victim. It would
then allow the soul devouring worms to spill out of the pill and cause the
victim to die tragically! (This pill only works for victims of cultivation
level below Original Infant Stage. Apart from th is host, nobody else
would be able to control it!)
Price : 50 act tough points!
"Even when this Ji Wan Qing is nearing her death, she's still trying to
play tricks. Then I shall play with you! Since you enjoy poisoning wines,
I shall show you what a true poison is. System, I wish to purchase two of
this pill!"
"Sou!" The white light flashed on the screen and Xu Que’s inventory had
additional items added.
He hurriedly retrieved the Swapping Talisman from the inventory and

activated it in his mind. Without anyone noticing, he managed to swap
the contents of the wines stealthily.
Soon after, he even double checked with the system and reaffirmed that
his current jug of wine was not poisoned.
"Xu Que, are you still afraid that this Princess poisoned your wi ne?
Whether you want to drink it or not is up to you. But I shall drain my jug
first and sever our marital ties from this very moment!"
Seeing Xu Que hesitating, the Flaming Sun Princess was somewhat

anxious and hurriedly raised the wine to her lips and t ilted her head
back before draining the entire jug.
The mild moonlight shined down into her fair and soft neck. Maybe it
was because she was too eager to drink that a drip of wine dropped out
from the corners of her lips and rolled down her chin. It further dripped
down her neck and stained her white robes.
That was a very sexy move but Xu Que had no time to admire it. His lips
curled and he drained his jug of wine as well.
An entire mouthful of good pure wine entered his mouth, filling his
senses with the smoothness and richness of it. He then swallowed it and
felt extremely comfortable.
The Flaming Sun Princess watched as Xu Que finished his jug of wine.
Her knitted brows finally relaxed in an obvious sign of relief. She then
wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and revealed a
smile.
"Xu Que, looks like you haven't changed much. You're still the same
naive person from before!" She laughed out.
Xu Que pretended not to understand as he frowned and replied, "What

do you mean?"
"Princess…" At this very moment, Zi Xuan walked over, her face was full
of frowns. She looked at Xu Que once as pity and remorse was etched
within her pupils.
The Flaming Sun Princess eyed Xu Que coldly and smiled fearlessly,
"Xu Que, this Princess has to thank you for solving the problem of Sky
Demon killers chasing after us. Although I don't know what changes
you've undergone over these few months, to be able to cultivate again
after being stripped of your roots and you managed to rise up to such a
formidable level. But now, everything you've earned has gone to nothing
once again!"
"Is that so? But I really don't think so." Xu Que smiled playfully as if he
didn't seem to mind her spiteful words.
The Flaming Sun Princess squinted her eyes as if she had just reg ained
her prideful and arrogant demeanor. She then spoke out, "My father
killed you last time. Today, this Princess, his daughter shall kill you
again. Do you know what I just made you drink?"
Xu Que blinked, "Of course I know. It's the Core Yin Yang wine!"
73 Intense Effects Of Poison
Chapter 73: Intense Effects Of Poison

"Of course I know. It’s the Core Yin Yang Wine!"
Hearing these words, the Flaming Sun Princess’ expression turned to

one of immense shock as if her well thought out planned had failed. Her
face froze in horror.
Even Zi Xuan who was standing beside her had her eyes wide open in
disbelief.
Xu Que then laughed out coldly, "Ji Wan Qing, Ji Wan Qing. Your heart
cannot get any blacker. You’ve already done me in once. Apparently,
that wasn’t enough for you and you had to kill me a second time. If my
temper were the same as it was in the past, you would been a dead
woman. However, I’ve changed my mind. I wish to see what will happen
to you after you’ve consumed your own Core Yin Yang wine."
"What… What did you say?" The Flaming Sun Princess was taken
aback. She looked at Xu Que in surprise as her body swayed unsteadily
and she took several steps back.
Zi Xuan’s expression fell as well as she shouted out in shock, "Xu Que,
you… What have you done?"
"Nothing much. I just swapped our wines." Xu Que flicked some dirt of
his shoulder and looked into the eyes of the Flaming Sun Princess as he
smiled. "According to what I know, you should be feeling extremely hot
and bothered right now and you feel like removing all your clothes!"
"Outrageous! You… You…" The Flaming Sun Princess was both
enraged and stumped. Even before she could finish her sentence, she
felt a strange sensation overtake her entire body as she fell into a daze.
"I warned you clearly not to pull any pranks but you refused to listen.
You wanted to be smart. This is called harming your self with your own
ploys!" Xu Que laughed out as he folded his arms and leaned against a
tree, ready for the show to unfold.
"Dong!" The Flaming Sun Princess could feel the full effects of the Core
Yin Yang wine explode within her body. It almost felt lik e her entire body
was on fire and she lost all her strengths to the potency of the wine. She
then fell to the ground as her face started to blush a deep shade of red.
Even her breathing became ragged.
"Chi-la!" She started removing all the articles of clo thes on her body but
she didn’t have enough strength to do it. She then pulled apart her chest
piece, revealing her pale and tender flesh. Her hands started moving all
around her own body.
Soon after, a sound like a sigh coursed through her throat as her
breathing became more distinct. Whatever icy and cold appearance she
used to wear on her face had completely dissolved and disappeared.
...
Zi Xuan was standing by the side, completely at a loss of what to do.

She then ran over to support and prop the Princess up. "Princess…
You… Oooooo…" Even before she could finish her sentence, Zi Xuan
was being squeezed in a tight hug by the princess and was kissed full
on her lips.
Xu Que was shocked.
My god, the strength of this wine is really immense. It doesn’t even care
if her partner was a man or woman? Looks like I better hide further
away.
Xu Que stroked his chin and considered whether he should climb the
tree and watch from that distance.
Zi Xuan managed to break free from the Flaming Sun Princess’ grip.
She then looked at the Princess who was fully controlled by the wine
and was completely unresponsive to anything else. Her strength was
barely enough to keep her in control.
Zi Xuan’s face was still flushed as she stood up and pointed with two
fingers, which emitted blue core energy from it and transformed into
sprays of clear water. She drew a circle over the Princess.
"Sou!"
The Flaming Sun Princess was trapped within a round the sphere of
water which has a bluish hue over it. It was almost like a prot ective
sphere meant to keep her from hurting herself.
"Core Water Energy? So you’re from the Water Nations!" Xu Que

shouted out in shock.
Zi Xuan finished her spell and turned around helplessly. She bit down
hard on her lips and looked at Xu Que before f alling to her knees.
"Xu Que, Zi Xuan begs you. Please save the Princess!" She pleaded as
tears started to well up within her eyes.
Xu Que’s face fell as he gave a cold laugh, "She asked for it by

pretending to be smart. Unless I’ve been kicked hard in t he head by a
donkey, I wouldn’t save her. Letting her die this way suits me very well."
"Xu Que, as long as you’re willing to save the Princess, Zi Xuan is

willing to transfer you all her cultivation and spiritual roots and be your
slave and servant. I will agree to do anything you wish for me to do. I
beg you, please save her." Zi Xuan begged as tears rolled down her
face like a torrential downpour, making promises that was hard to
believe that she would keep.
Xu Que was unmoved and shook his head plainly, "Your cultivation level
and spiritual roots bring me no benefits. I also don’t need a servant or a
slave."
"What do you want then? As long as you’re willing to save the Princess,
Zi Xuan will be agreeable to any condition." She continued pleading.
"What? Come to think of it, I do really need one thing." Xu Que lips
curled in a smile as he spoke, "Give me the maps to the imperial tombs
of the Fire Country and Water Nation."
Zi Xuan froze in shock.
Xu Que then continued, "Since you belong to the Water Nation and are
close to the Princess, your status should allow you access to both maps
right? As long as you hand me the maps of imperial tombs to both the
Water Nation and the Fire Country, I can agree to rescue her."
"You… What do you want to do with the maps of the imperial tombs
anyway?" Zi Xuan asked suspiciously.
"Nothing much, I just wish to explore the area and see if there are any
special treasures for me to take." Xu Que laughed out and replied.
Zi Xuan shook her head, "There’s no use. Even if you have the maps
with you, there are many layers of protective spells. Even the Infant
Transformation Stage cultivators don’t dare to trespass without reason.
Once a person enters, nobody has ever made it out alive. y
Yet you…"
"You don’t have to worry unnecessarily. Just give me the map." Xu Que
interrupted.
There were many dangers which lurked within the tombs and Xu Que
was aware of that. However, if he could obtain the maps, his risk would
be reduced by more than half.
Zi Xuan pondered for some time, her eyes glimmered as if she was in
the midst of the decision making process.
"Eh... Eh... Eh..." The ragged breathing of the Flaming Sun Princess
who was trapped within the water sphere was becoming more labored.
Zi Xuan’s face blushed a deep shade of red as she raised her head and
agreed, "I promise that if you save the Princess, I will return to Water
Nation and retrieve the map of the imperial tombs for you. But the maps
of the Fire Country tombs are hidden within the main hall, where
restrictive spells were placed. Only the blood of the Ji family would
enable someone to pass through the halls. That meant that under the
heavens, the only people who could gain access to the map were the
few Princes and the Princess."
"Are you trying to tell me that the map to the imperial tomb of the Fire
Country cannot be obtained? If that’s the case, I can’t help you to save
her. Giving in to her sexual desires would take too much out of me and
would be a huge sacrifice." Xu Que spoke out.
If rescuing the Princess could earn him two maps of the imperial tombs,
Xu Que would be more than willing to do it. Besides, he’s already had
marital relations with her before. Doing it again wouldn’t mean much.
Besides, although she had a vile heart and an evil soul, her physique
and beauty was unparalleled in the nation.
When Zi Xuan heard Xu Que say the phrase "giving into her sexual
desires", she blushed red in embarrassment. She then whispered, "I can
convince the Princess to pass you the map."
"Great. First, you have to eat this pill." Xu Que flipped his hands and
obtained a vial containing a single pill.
"This pill is called the Corpse Devouring Pill. Once you consume it,
there is no antidote for it. If you both choose to betray me, just a single
thought is all it takes for me to kill you. And don’t think of killing
yourselves to take the easy way out. I will strip you both naked and
dump you in the middle of the Imperial City where it’s most crowded."
"You…" Zi Xuan heard this and trembled in fear as she looked at Xu

Que in disbelief.
Xu Que maintained an expressionless face as he handed the pill over to

her, "Whether to eat it or not is completely your choice!"
"I’ll eat it!" Zi Xuan gritted her teeth and received the pill as she
swallowed it whole. She then looked at Xu Que pleadingly, "Save her."
Xu Que exhaled deeply, he started to feel strange for some reason.
He looked at the transparent water sphere and saw the Flaming Sun
Princess’ smooth jade body. She was as fair as snow and her long pair
of legs were rubbing against each other restlessly.
74 Fire a Cannon only to Run back to Provoke his

Mother
Chapter 74: Fire a Cannon only to Run back to Provoke his Mother
Under the incessant pleas from Zi Xuan, Xu Que decided to enter the
water sphere.
He condensed the water Qi within his body before stretching out a finger
and lightly tapping the sphere. Instantly, the entire sphere collapsed into
thousands of water droplets before disappearing.
"This…" Zi Xuan widened her eyes and was extremely shocked.
Although her water sphere spell was not something extraordinary, most
normal people wouldn’t have been able to just disintegrate it like that.
The only exception was if the person had water spiritual roots as well.
Then he would be able to break through the water sphere.
And the Qi which Xu Que managed to condense, was of the water

element.
Earlier on when Xu Que summoned streams of water to wipe the mud of

their faces, he had used water energy as well. When they first met him,
they didn’t know his identity and thought that he must’ve been a water
root cultivator.
Soon after, they found out that Xu Que belonged to the Fire Country and
yet he could summon and condense water Qi. Zi Xuan was surprised.
Having a pair of spiritual roots of different elements existed in this world

but was extremely rare. She never would have expected that Xu Que
was one of those people.
Xu Que pause for several moments as he turned around and looked

strangely at Zi Xuan. He then retrieved a single Corpse Devouring Pill
and placed it into the Flaming Princess’ mouth.
"No!" Zi Xuan cried out but it was already too late. She had swallowed it
the second it entered her mouth.
Xu Que was mildly surprised, "With such an evil nature, did you really
think I wasn’t going to give her the pill? If…" Even before he could finish
his sentence, a warm bodied and desperate looking Flaming Sun
Princess charged straight into him.
She then started to hungrily kiss Xu Que’s neck and face with her
luscious lips.
An arm was swung across his body as she held him close. Her hands
started rummaging through his robes as if she was searching for
something.
Zi Xuan stood some distance away and watched the scene unfold before
her. All of a sudden, she seemed to realize what was bound to happen.
Her face turned red once more before she turned around and ran away.
Xu Que was almost brought back to the time when he was back in the
palace and the pair of them shared a marital bed. The hungry look in the
Princess’ eyes was exactly the same. Except…
"How did her chest get so much bigger? The feel of it in my hands is
quite different as if it is someone else completely different I’m
touching…." Xu Que ‘accidentally’ groped her chest and was bewildered.
But he didn’t think much about it since this was more of a business
transaction rather than anything else. Besides, this wasn’t the first time.
Since she wanted it so badly and he was willing. So bring it on.
Hence, with the help of the increasingly desperate Flaming Sun

Princess, Xu Que managed to strip down to his bare bottom and gave a
thrust.
"Ah…" Almost halfway through, the Flaming Sun Princess gave a cry of
pain, causing Xu Que to pause in shock as he looked down.
Blood?
Holy hell! This is her first time? That can’t be. Wasn’t it broken the last
time? How could she still have it? Was there such a surgery in this world
that could do something like that? And her bosom was much bigger than
how I remembered it to be? Could she have undergone plastic surgery?
Even before he could react, that hot and bothered Princess started
gyrating, willfulling searching for her climax.
And Xu Que responded in kind!
...
The gentle scene finally reached its conclusion.
Xu Que sat up and watched the Flaming Sun Princess who had fallen
asleep beside him. He sighed and eagerly wished for a cigarette.
"To be my little Princess, you won’t have to eat hardships. The only
thing you’ll be eating would be me." Xu Que thought of this phrase and
laughed coldly. Everyone else in this world could be his little princess
except for this Ji Wan Qing.
Several moments later, he stood up and dressed himself.
Zi Xuan was hiding somewhere not far. Although she didn’t dare to
watch, the embarrassing sounds of pleasure could be heard more than
clearly.
When she heard them reach a climax and there wasn’t any more
movements, she then hurriedly ran out and looked at Xu Que in a daze.
She then started dressing the Princess.
Xu Que then spoke out calmly, "I’ve already rescued her. In a few days,
I shall head for the Imperial City. I hope to be able to see the maps
then. If not… I am capable of anything!"
"You don’t have to threaten me. Whatever I’ve promised, I will do." Zi
Xuan maintained a stoic expression although her face was flushed
slightly red.
"That’s good. Oh yes, she…" Xu Que smiled an d was about to leave

when he thought about the Princess and whether it was her first time.
He wanted to ask Zi Xuan.
All of a sudden, an entire wave of crushing pressure descended down

from the skies.
"Boom!"
The crushing pressure were as terrifying as the mountains and yet the
source of it remained hidden by the thick forests. It was so powerful that
it made everyone feel suffocated.
Xu Que frowned and asked, "This pressure is being emitted from… An

Infant Transformation Stage old thing. In fact, there are two of them?"
"You should go. Those two are probably Princes. When we met some
trouble, the Princess dispatched a distress signal. According to the time
it took them to reach, it should be them." Zi Xuan whispered.
Xu Que’s lips curled into a sly smile as he whispered back, "A pair of
Infant Transformation Stage Princes? Ever since I’ve fought with Zhang
Dan Shan and crossed into the Full Foundation of Golden Core Stage, I
haven’t had the chance to exchange moves with any Infant
Transformation Staged cultivators…"
Zi Xuan heard this as her face contorted into an expression of evident

surprise.
This person…. After hearing that a pair of Infant Transformation Stage

cultivators had arrived wasn’t afraid. In fact, he wanted to fight with
them?
reward is 60 act tough points."
The system rang out abruptly in Xu Que’s mind as he regained his

senses and turned his head to look at the surprised Zi Xuan.
He smiled, "For now, I still don’t wish to alert them of my presence.

Remember, when you return, do not mention a single word of my name.
If not, regardless of how far I am, all that I have to do is to imagine your
deaths and the pair of you would lose your lives."
Xu Que then executed his Lightning Haste spell as a pair of lightning

arcs formed beneath his feet and he charged into the depths of the
forest, disappearing quickly.
Zi Xuan watched him as he disappeared, a sense of overwhelming fear
gripped her.
"Eh…" All of a sudden, she heard the Princess rouse herself from sleep
as she opened her eyes and sat up.
"Princess, you’re finally awake!" Zi Xuan spoke out in relief.
At the next moment, her relief vanished into thin air. That was because
her golden first time had been given away j ust like that. She found it
hard to imagine how the Princess would feel at this point.
Will she fall apart? Will she go crazy? Or will she feel suicidal?
The Flaming Sun Princess had a strange expression of calmness. She

was so calm that it was almost terrifying.
"Has he gone?" She asked softly with unbelievable coldness in her

voice.
Zi Xuan paused and nodded her head, without actually reacting.
Could it be that the Princess hasn’t realized it?
"Whatever happened today, apart from me, you and him, no body else
must know. This includes my Emperor father." At this point, the Flaming
Sun Princess spoke out once again.
Zi Xuan was startled by her tone and nodded her head gently.
So the Princess knows whatever happened.
"Whoosh!" A pair of frighteningly crushing auras appeared in the sky,

causing the sky to turn momentarily dark.
Soon after, a pair of middle aged men appeared. One of them had
already reached the Infant Transformation Stage level 4 and was
extremely intimidating.
"Uncle Prince!" The Flaming Sun Princess stood up and opened her
mouth blankly.
Zi Xuan bowed hurriedly, "Zi Xuan pays her respects to the pair of
Princes."
The pair of middle aged men nodded their heads in acknowledgement.

They then looked at the Flaming Sun Princess. "Flaming Sun, who
ambushed you?"
The Flaming Sun Princess shook her head, and looked extremely weary
and tired. She then replied, "Uncle Prince, Flaming Sun is tired. Let’s
speak more when we return."
75 Damn! Time To Act Tough Again!
Chapter 75: Damn! Time To Act Tough Again!

At time same time, on one of the roads deep within the mountains...
Xu Que penetrated into a forest within the mountainous region and

pressed on forward towards the Imperial City. If he continued to rush on
without any rest, he could reach the Imperial City in five to six days.
However, before that, Xu Que still had a Heavenly Tribulation to clear.

Hence, when he reached deeper into the mountainous forests, his
priority was to find a quiet place to stop for a rest.
According to the original Memory Message within his body, the 49

Heavenly Tribulation was not a very tough process for Golden Core
Cultivators. He only needed to prepare by equipping himself with some
defensive weapons and various elixirs. All he had to do was to defend
himself against the Four-Lightning Attack in the trial and draw the
lightning energy towards his Qi region. He could then split the Golden
Core open and emerge successful from the trial.
However, from what the system prompted, the trial he was about to
experience in several days would be in Difficult Mode. It even suggested
he purchase a human-skinned mask and make use of the two additional
Luck Points in order to increase the success rate of completing the 49
Heavenly Tribulation.
This made Xu Que rather anxious. He had a premonition that his

Heavenly Tribulation would be very frightening.
Previously, he also asked what were the chances of him emerging

victorious from the trial with his current cultivation level and status. The
system did not give him a definite answer and simply told him to prepare
himself with more equipments and items.
Xu Que had no choice but to enter the system store as he started

browsing through the armor bundles.
He skipped the One Star armor category without even looking through.
The Two Star armor wasn’t that bad in comparison. For example, the
Dark Heavy Buster Sword that he was presently equipped with was a
Two Star weapon.
But Xu Que didn’t have as much act tough points then. That was the
reason he could only afford the Two Star Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
Although it was still not counted as plenty, he managed to accumulate

630 act tough points which was enough for him to purchase a
respectable Three Star Armor!
And so, Xu Que entered the Three Star ranked category and a whole list
of armors showed up one by one.
Smelted by master blacksmiths, this item is ranked Three Stars.

Possesses formidable defensive powers and able to resist magical
attacks. It is a very popular treasure amongst countless Cultivators.
Armor +50
Magic Resistance+40
Charm +10
One of the equipments of the online game ‘League of Legends’, ranked

at Three Stars. A sacred equipement of the Demacia’s Lightshield Clan.
This armor was lost in the First Rune War. When it was found, it was
already badly destroyed. However, it still retains much of its formidable
defensive power and this armor also allows the wearer to have a much
more exuberant flow of his Qi and blood.
Armor+60
Charm+10
Passive skill: When attacked by enemies, reduces the attacker’s attack

speed by 15% (Lasts for 5 seconds).
Active Skill: Slows all surrounding enemies’ movement speed by 50%

(Lasts for 5 seconds).
Selling Price: 400 act tough points.
One of the equipments of the online game ‘League of Legends’, ranked

at Three Stars. This armor was forged by a High Official in Demacia.
This armor is regarded as an embodiment of righteousness and love and
later became exclusive to Garen of Demacia. This armor allows the
wearer to have a much more exuberant flow of his Qi and blood and
reinforces his Magic Resistance. It also doubles the wearer’s he alth
regeneration rate.
Magic Resistance+55
Passive skill: Allows wearer to have 200% health regeneration.
With such an amazing line-up of armor, Xu Que was dazzled.
What surprised him was that there were not only equipments from the
world of cultivators but also equipments from other games. He was very
intrigued by the fact.
The equipments from the world of Cultivators were perhaps more

superior in terms of defensive power but for the equipments from other
games, they were valuable in their own way because of their additional
attributes of having passive and active skills.
For example, although the "Randuin’s Omen" had only 10 more armor
points than the "Amethyst Golden armor", it allowed the usage of
passive and active skills. It could reduce the speed of enemies, which
could be very useful in fights.
However, what Xu Que was going to face was a Heavenly Tribulation

and a Difficult Mode one at that.
Even a retard would know that armor Points were useless in the
Heavenly Tribulation. After all, it was an area filled with lightning attacks
and they were magic-types attacks. Therefore, having an armor which
adds Magic Resistance is of the utmost importance for now.
And so, that "Spirit’s Visage" caught Xu Que’ eye.
Not only does it increase 55 points of Magic Resistance, it has a very

valuable passive skill which was to double the wearer’s health
regeneration rate!
With his current capabilities, having double health regeneration rate
would not have too big an effect. However, with the system’s automatic
passive regeneration, this passive skill would have tremendous effects.
Xu Que felt that even if his legs were broken, under the effects of the
system’s automatic regeneration, along with this armor, he would be
jumping about again in a breath’s time.
"System, I want to purchase the ‘Spirit Visage’!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully purchasing the

‘Spirit Visage’. 500 act tough points had been spent."
Xu Que bit his teeth, parted with 500 act tough points in one go and
became disappointingly poor again in a flash. He was left with 130 act
tough points after his purchase.
"Although a little expense has to be incurred, the points I’ve spent

weren’t for naught. With such a valiant active skil l and the additional 50
Magic Resistance, there would be absolutely no problem in passing this
mere Heavenly Tribulation."
Looking at the armor in his item bag which was radiating a green, jade
glow, Xu Que had much higher confidence in the Heavenly Tribu lation
starting in a few days’ time.
However, for insurance, he decided to improve his current situation over

the next few days by finding Original Infant Stage Demon Beasts to gain
more act tough points for rainy days.
Xu Que started to stroll along depths of the mountains while listening

attentively to his quiet surroundings.
However, it was a pity that for three days in a row, Xu Que didn’t chance
upon any Original Infant Stage Demon Beasts.
"Screw this. I reckon that it must be the doing of the migh ty aura of
those two Infant Transformation Stage Princes. Since those Original
Infant Stage Demon Beasts possessed a certain awareness, all of them
must have ran for cover." Xu Que scolded in his mind while walking on
the small path.
However, light chatting could be heard coming from the front and it
sounded like human-raced cultivators. There seemed to be many of
them as well.
Xu Que immediately put on his human-skinned mask and changed into

the face of ‘Hu Ge’. He also put on the hood of his black robe and
leaned against the side of a big tree. He folded his arms around his
chest and adopted a posture which imitated a lone knight from the
ancient times. With briefly narrowed eyes, he posed under the sunlight.
He then proceeded to close his eyes to rest.
At the same time, the sounds of conversations gradually became louder.
"Friends, lets quicken our pace. I’m afraid that there would be too many
people signing up."
"Yes, the Sky Incense Valley is the top three best Sect among the five
nations. They only publicly recruit disciples once every hundred years.
I’ve heard that there are numerous Sovereigns in the Sect. Even the
Empress of the Water Nation was once the chief disciple of the Sky
Incense Valley."
"It’s a shame that the Fire Country only has fift y entrance to Contest
Areas. The Contest Areas are hidden throughout the entire country. A
few days back, there was a lucky lad who had just started to cultivate
and unknowingly entered the Contest Area. For that, he was qualified to
enter the first round of selections for the Sect. However, he became too
excited and accidentally revealed the location of the Contest Area.
There must be many people rushing to that area to join now."
"Hehe... I’ve heard that the Sky Incense Valley found out that the lad
revealed the location of the Contest Area and they cancelled his
qualification for the first round selections. He is now having a nervous
breakdown because of that."
"Who cares about him? In any case, with our cultivation stage, getting
into the first round of selections will not be any problem. Friends, all the
best of luck!"
"Yeah, let’s do it together!"
"Eh, look in front. What’s that guy in the black robe doing under the big
tree?"
"What a strong aura he has. He has that mysterious air around him
which can’t be described. In any case, his appearance looks like he is
very strong!"
"He must be the subject of all those rumors. That cultivator with a
masterful demeanor. His cultivation stage is definitely stronger than
ours!"
"That’s right. We must absolutely make friends with a master of such

level."
"Let’s go and pay our greetings to him. Who knows, he might also be on
his way to join the Contest Area!"

Xu Que opened his eyes. His pair of eyes were bursting with life and
they were twinkling brightly.
Upon hearing the entire conversation by those people, his heart was
filled with excitement.
One of the top three Sects in Fire Country? Contest Area? Many
people?
Damn! Time to act tough again!
I definitely need to make a visit there to act tough. How can I let myself
down by not going there to earn all the act tough points I can get?
76 I Can Destroy It In One Move
Chapter 76: I Can Destroy It In One Move

"Friend, I go by the name of Zeng Fan Rong and I’m a native of the Ling
Wang City. These few people are friends that I’ve made during my trip
and we are on the way to join the Contest. I didn’t expect to meet a
noble man like yourself here. I’ve always liked to make new friends. May
I presumptuously ask if you, my friend, is also on the way to the entering
the Contest Area?"
The few people appeared before Xu Que. The one leading the group
was a fair-skinned and chubby youth who appeared to be wealthy. He
initiated and sent his greetings to Xu Que with a big smile on his face.
Xu Que slightly smiled and briefly saluted in greeting, "My name is Hua
Wu Que and you’re right. I am indeed on my way to enter the Contest
Area. It’s a shame that the information I’ve received was rather vague
and I’ve lost my way here!"
"So it’s Brother Hua. As the saying goes, ‘Depend on your parents when
you’re home but depend on your friends when you’re out.’ We happen to
know how to go to the Contest Area. If Brother Hua don’t mind, you can
travel along with us!" The chubby young man, Zeng Fan Rong smiled
warmly and said.
"Brother Zeng, that’s very nice of you. With you unexceptionally good -
natured people, being able to travel with you all is my honor."
"We’re humbled. At such a young age, you, Brother Hua, have already
cultivated to the maximum full foundation of the Golden Core Stage.
With your elegant posture and a magnificent appearance, you are
seriously a role model of our generation. To be honest, we were deeply
drawn by Brother Hua’s mighty and handsome appearance which made
us rush over to make friends with you."
"You are being too polite my brothers. I’m being over -flattered."
"No no no, Brother Hua, you are too modest!"
….
The confident front that Xu Que put on was excessive. Throwing words
of braggery and flattery at one another, it reached a point wh ere their
faces were filled with appreciation for one another and they were feeling
as if they should have met each other sooner. It seemed like they almost
nearly wanted to burn incense papers in a rite to become sworn
brothers.
However, in everyone’s hearts, they were clear that this was just a
facade they had to put on.
The reason they wanted to make friends with Xu Que was because of
his cultivation stage.
Xu Que, on the other hand, wanted to use them to lead the way. This
way, he would be able to reach the Contest Area to have a look and
take the chance to earn some act tough points before his own Heavenly
Tribulation starts.
While on the way, Xu Que had gained an understanding of the entire

situation about entering the Contest Area.
All in all, there was this big and mighty Sect called Sky Incense Valley
and they were receiving new disciples all across the Five Nations.
This activity was being held once every one hundred years. Each time,
they would establish a few Contest Areas in each Nation. T hose with
connections in high places would have naturally received news on it
earlier than everyone else and would have a head start in looking for
them. If not, those without connections would have to depend entirely on
fate.
Zeng Fan Rong and the rest of them were sons of various rich families
back in Ling Wang City. However, they too, were not very sure of what
will be tested in the Contest Area. In any case, they seemed very
excited when the topic of Sky Incense Valley disciples popped up in
their conversations.
"Sky Incense Valley had produced a few female Sovereigns and the
powers of each of them were out of this world. They possessed very
beautiful faces, which could captivate even the birds and beasts of the
land."
"But the one who stunned the entire world was the Empress of the Water
Nation from over a hundred years ago!’
"Eh, it is rumored that she has the Heavenly Water roots. After that, she
apparently had a stroke of fortune and her roots turned into Heaven Ice
roots. She stepped into the Infant Transformation Stage at a tender age
of twenty. After a hundred years had passed, she became a well known
figure in the Infant Transformation Stage. Rumor has it that even the
Flame Emperor was no match for her!"
"I’ve heard that during the Sky Incens e Valley’s Contest, anyone who is
able to complete it and receive an Elite Entrance Order will get to meet
the Empress as his or her master and she will personally impart her
skills to you!"
"Haha! Everyone is saying that if one is able to meet the Water Nation
Empress and get close with her, there would be no more regrets in his
life anymore!"
"Brother Zeng, you should be careful of your words. We can say that in
our Fire Country without any consequences. However, if we have a
chance to go to the Water Nation, we can’t say those things for fun."
"That’s right Brother Zeng, we normal people cannot casually have

thoughts about the Empress’ holy existence."
The few people struck up a lively conversation. They revered the Water
Empress and were filled with fantasies about her existence.
Xu Que did not quite accept what they had said. Who cares about any
Water Nation Emperor or Empress? When the time comes and he
proceeds to dig up the dragon vein located across all the Five Nation’s
imperial tombs, none of them shall remain the Emperor!
Very quickly, the group of them had circled the mountain path and
strided towards a small alley leading to a forest.
The forest was very dense and the path was filled with yellow, dried up
leaves, along with the faint singing of birds.
Zeng Fan Rong pointed towards the deep forest and said, "The Contest
Area should be right in front. I’ve heard that when we enter, we will meet
a huge Blazing Inferno Spell. We must pass through a sea of fire in
order to be qualified for the Contest."
The rest lifted their heads and looked forward. As expected, there was
an almost invisible light screen ahead which seemed like a force field. If
one wasn’t careful, he may put himself in a risky situation upon stepping
in.
"I’ve heard this sea of fire is very odd. Just depending on Core Energy
to withstand the flames will not be sufficient."
"Eh… luckily I’ve got reliable information and prepared a Fire Resistant
equipment."
"I’ve also spent quite a lot of Spirit Stones and bought two Fire Avoiding
Emblem. That should be enough."
The few Cultivators were feeling confident, all with tricks up their
sleeves.
Xu Que followed behind. He seemed distracted and didn’t say anything.
A skinny and tall young man looked towards him and asked, "Eh,
Brother Hua, what skills have you prepared to avoid the fire?"
Xu Que looked stunned and shook his head, "Avoid the fire? I don't have
any apparently!"
It’s just a sea of fire. Why do we need to take such great pains to avoid
it? Just a "Flame-Devouring Wave" to split it open will do, won’t it?
When they heard that he did not have any fire avoiding skills, they were
astonished.
Some of them started to cover up the item belts on their waists. One of
them had two Fire Avoiding Emblems binded to his belt.
The rest of them were slightly awkward and laughed fakely, "Looks like
Brother Hua has his own brilliant skills!"
Brilliant skill?
This was obviously just a filler to avoid the question. They were actually
afraid that Xu Que would ask them to lend him t heir Fire Avoiding
Emblems or any fire resisting equipments!
To them, such items were very valuable. They were all one -use items.
They wouldn’t possibly lend it to anyone.
However, the chubby young man who went by the name Zeng Fan Rong,
walked towards Xu Que with a warm and sincere expression. He
rummaged and took out a blue coloured pearl which was a size of a
palm. There were vague ripples circulating on its top!
"Brother Hua, I’ll lend you this Water Element Pearl. Inside the pearl
contains a huge amount of Water Element spiritual Qi and along with
your high Cultivation Stage, you will be able to cross this huge Blazing
Inferno Spell." Zeng Fan Rong told him.
Before Xu Que cold react, the rest of them cried out in surprise one after
another.
"It’s the Water Element Pearl, this item is worth quite a lot!"
"Brother Zeng, you are definitely very generous. I am considered very

lucky this time. With the Water Element Pearl, I will have no problem in
crossing this Blazing Inferno Spell."
"Brother Zeng has a very wealthy family and he is also generous. What
a good friend to have!"
Everyone started praising him and some of them were even blue with
envy.
Xu Que did not expect Zeng Fan Rong to be so kind. He briefly laughed
and said, "Thank you, Brother Zeng for your kind intention, but I can
cross this sea of fire. Also, this Water Element Pearl is by no means
cheap. You should keep it with you for the time being!"
"This…" Zeng Fan Rong was taken aback. This was the first time he was
rejected while offering help.
The rest of them were all stumped and stared at Xu Que with confused
expressions.
Zeng Fan Rong then warned, "Brother Hua, that Blazing Inferno Spell’s
might is not a trivial matter. Even an Infant Transformation Stage
Cultivator wouldn’t dare to step into it without preparation and even he
would have to rely on external items. This stage is actually the Sky
Incense Valley testing our reaction towards risky and dangerous
situations. We cannot be careless!"
"Yes, Brother Hua. If you become careles s here, you will suffer great
losses. Besides, it’s just a Water Element Pearl. Its price is nothing to
Brother Zeng. You don’t have to worry too much." A young man chimed
in.
Xu Que continued waving away their offers, "I really don’t have a need
for it. I can break this Blazing Inferno Spell in just one move!"
"..." All their lips gave an involuntary twitches. They were speechless.
This is a Blazing Inferno Spell set up by the Sky Incense Valley and
you’re saying you’re able to break it in one move? Wha t joke are you
cracking? Even braggers wouldn’t bring it so far.
Zeng Fan Rong was also feeling rather awkward. He barely managed a
laugh, kept his Water Element Pearl and stopped persuading him.
The atmosphere then became chilly. This was the result of Xu Que
forcefully acting tough, cutting conversations awkwardly short and being
the conversation ender.
However, he had already received the system beep just now and had
earned quite a bunch of act tough points.
Xu Que wouldn’t mind being labelled as a conversation ender,

because…"Acting tough is like the wind. It follows my body wherever I
go!"
77 Mountain Splitting, Breaking Waves, Open!
Chapter 77: Mountain Splitting, Breaking Waves, Open!

After a few moments of silence, the atmosphere became awkward.

Everybody was looking at one another in uncertainty. They didn’t know
how to react to Xu Que’s "Break it in one move". After all, his braggery
had gone overboard.
Several moments later, a green robed young man stepped out from the
group. Clutching onto two Fire Avoiding Emblems. He l ooked full of
mettle and was eager to go.
"My friends, I’ll make a move first. Let’s regroup right at the exit of the
inferno!"
Finishing his sentence, he marched into the invisible light screen.
"Boom!" After a muffling echo, a crack opened abruptly in the light

screen and was followed by a gust of boiling hot wind blowing out
towards them.
Looking through the gap, Xu Que and others saw the vast body of fire
within the spell and could see it raging furiously.
The green robed young man stared at it and activated the Fire Avoiding
Emblem in his hand. It condensed into a blue colored spiralling
lightscreen which immediately wrapped around his entire body. Soon
after, he stepped into the crack and proceeded to pass through it
without any further signs of obstruction.
"Everyone, I shall go too!"
This time, another cultivator started to move.
He stood in front of the sea of fire and took out a green lamp. The lamp
was extinguished but strands of lamp oil started to rush forth after his
activation of the skill. The oil covered his entire body surface and turned
into a protective layer. When he passed through the sea of fire, the
flames did not come into contact with his clothes at all as it was all
absorbed by the lamp oil.
"What a good green lamp! Our friend Brother Lin is definitely in luck for
having acquired that treasure. Let’s not delay any longer. Let’s go in
together!" With a pair of determined eyes, Zeng Fan Rong started calling
for everybody to leave for the sea of fire together.
Everyone nodded their heads and took out their respective equipments
and emblems.
Xu Que was the only one standing on the spot and not moving.
Zeng Fan Rong stared at him weirdly and asked, "Brother Hua, shall we
go in together?"
Xu Que waved his hand and laughed, "There’s no need. I need you all to
pass through before I can break open this Inferno Spell. I wouldn’t want
to harm you all by accident."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully Forcefully

acting tough. The reward is 30 act tough points!"
"Uh…" Zeng Fan Rong and the rest of them stiffened their lips and were
all speechless. They didn’t know how to reply to that.
"Brother Hua, take care of yourself. We shall take our leave!" One of the
young men nodded his head, took the lead and entered the sea of fire.
Zeng Fan Rong also smiled hesitantly to Xu Que, nodded his head and
left.
Soon after, the few of them advanced towards the sea of fire. Their
expressions all hardened before they executed their respective abilities
and disappeared into the sea of fire.
A playful smile swept past Xu Que’s face. He then waited patiently

outside the sea of fire.
…
At the same time, outside of the exit of the sea of fire stood a pair of
young ladies who were dressed in flowy bright green robes. They stood
atop the Blazing Inferno Spell with their feet stepping on the Spell Core.
The both of them were in charge of this spell. If anyone couldn't take the
intense temperatures of the sea of fire, they will be thrown out by two
ladies.
After all, throwing someone out was better than letting them throw their
lives!
"Up till now, there isn't anyone who can't withstand the Blazing Inferno
Spell and we can relax because of that." One of the cute-looking ladies
who seemed to be rather young, laughed as she watched Zen g Fan
Rong and the others cross over.
"It can't be helped. Someone leaked out the information on this Spell.
Now everyone came prepared. Even if we wanted to change the Spell,
we wouldn’t have any time to. I’m afraid that this level won’t pose much
of a threat to anyone." The other taller lady nodded her head and
laughed bitterly.
Following that, she looked out of the Spell and was abruptly stunned,
"Eh? Didn’t they arrive together? Why is the black robed young man still
standing outside?"
"Seems like he didn’t prepare any Fire Avoiding equipments and was
being left behind by the group! Poor him!"
"His looks was rather intelligent and handsome too. If he becomes our
junior disciple, we can make friends with him. But now it looks like… I’m
afraid he has no fate with our Sky Incense Valley!"
In the midst of their conversations, a pair of cultivators walked out of the

sea of fire. One after the other, the young man with the green robes was
the first to arrive.
Soon after, Zeng Fan Rong and the others emerged as well. Although
they looked wrecked, they had successfully cleared the sea of fire.
The group of people gathered around and they started to celebrate

together.
"We did it! Let’s go and register!" The green robed young man waved his
hands with a cheerful look.
Zeng Fan Rong turned and gave him a look as he hesitated, "Let’s wait
a while for Brother Hua. I think he should be getting ready to come in by
now."
"Brother Zeng, let’s not wait for him. Looks like we overestimated him.
At first, we thought that he was a master of some sort. But who knew
that he was just an arrogant cultivator. He’d rather stand outside without
any plans than accept your kind offer. He is definitely not worth being
friends with." The green robed young man shook his head as he spoke.
The others nodded gently in agreement and said, "He seemed quite
admirable when he rejected your kind offer. But, when he started talking
nonsense, saying that he could break this Spell in one move, all my
respect for him was gone."
"Yeah. These type of people are too boastful for their own good."
"I reckon that he is currently panicking outside the Spell. Let’s ignore
him and go register."
Within the core of the spell, the two Sky Incense Valley female disciples
heard their entire conversation.
The petite and cute-looking young lady could not help but let out a "Pfff"
and started laughing loudly.
"Senior sister, looks like you have overestimated him. That black robed
young man isn’t as outstanding as his appearance is. He even said that
he could break our Blazing Inferno Spell in one move. Hahaha!"
The tall lady nodded helplessly and let out a sigh, "That’s a pity. The
good looking face he had was for naught. Who knew that he was a just a
man who thought too highly of himself."
"Haha! It’s been a while since I’ve met someone this interesting.
Compared to the male disciples and Seniors in our Sect, who are always
putting on a long face and choosing to remain quiet , he’s rather
peculiar." The cute looking girl giggled as she looked outside of the
Spell, intrigued.
The tall lady became a little unhappy and replied, "The Seniors in our
Sect are just more calm. Although those type of men aren’t very
interesting, they are more dependable. For that black robed young man
outside, although he has a pretty face, with such a pompous attitude, his
achievements will definitely be limited in the future. In this long road of
cultivation, he will not go very far."
At this time, Xu Que was unaware that he was being made a laughing
stock with people speaking about him behind his back.
From the start, he wore a mild and contented look. Squinting his eyes,
he thoughtfully looked up at the sky while contemplating whether he
would be able to achieve something in his Heavenly Tribulation
happening in a few days’ time.
"Rustle…" Suddenly, a slight gust of wind brushed past. A fallen leaf

lightly floated and landed on his shoulder.
Xu Que snapped back into reality. He gave a subtle grin at the corner of
his mouth and looked right at the Blazing Inferno Spell.
"Time’s almost up. Brother Zeng and the rest must have already crossed
the sea of fire. It’s my turn." After mumbling to himself, Xu Que briefly
moved back a few steps and concentrated at the Spell in front of him.
Boom!
The next moment, his eyes widened and his stance changed. He raised
his right hand which was followed by the abrupt vibrating of the Dark
Heavy Buster Sword on his back. With a ‘Whoosh’, the Buster Sword
automatically flew to his palm, in which he gripped tightly.
A hurricane enveloped his entire body and his sleeves started to flutter
with the wind.
Xu Que abruptly swept his Buster Sword mid-air and yelled in a deep
voice,
"Mountain splitting, waves breaking, open!
"Boom!"
The Buster Sword vibrated in his hand as it started to frant ically absorb
Qi from its surroundings. Following this, akin to pulling a very long
Chinese ribbon and with great force, along with an irresistible berserk
aura, he widely swung his Buster Sword downwards in the direction of
the Blazing Inferno Spell!
78 Kneel, Kowtow, And Apologize To Me
Chapter 78: Kneel, Kowtow, And Apologize To Me

"Rumble!!!" A world-shaking, ear piercing sound abruptly exploded forth.
A formless, berserk Air Wave rushed forth from the Buster Sword,
directly towards the Blazing Inferno Spell. In a split second, the entire
sea of fire was split into half, revealing an unignited area down the
middle.
The entire Spell boundary was being forcefully torn open!
In the middle of the two seas of fire, a deep canal ran through the
ground. The canal of water extended all the way to the entrance of the
Spell and was still increasing in ferocity.
"Grunt!" The faces of Zeng Fan Rong and the others were filled with
astonishment. They gulped once and froze in shock, staring wide eyed
at the water level which has crept up to their feets. Cracks started
forming across the rocks and the group of them were still unable to
regain their senses.
At the Core of the Spell...
The pair of female Sky Incense Valley disciples were also awe -stricken.
They were stupefied and had faces full of astonishment.
"How… How was this possible?"
"He merely used one move and he… he managed to slice and tear our
Blazing Inferno Spell into half?"
...
With this destructive force of Xu Que’s strike, the entire place fell into
deathly silence. Even a pin drop could be heard.
On the other hand, Xu Que had no clue of what he had done. He stared
at the bottomless canal on the ground and started cursing, "What the
hell! This can’t be. I only used 20% of my power and the ground had
been reduced to such a state? How do I walk over now?"
"..." Everyone heard him grumbling and pouted their lips in anger.
This was way too frightening!
This fellow is truly frightening!

With such amount of power, even strong Original Infant Stage
Cultivators wouldn’t be able to survive if they had been the target of his
strike!
And this guy even said that he was just at 20%? Bloody hell! I can’t take
it anymore, hold me, I’m going to vomit blood!
Zeng Fan Rong and the others looked at one another, aghast. Their
eyes were filled with shock and they were left speechless for a long
time.
They really had thought that Xu Que was just bragging. In the end, he
broke the entire spell in the blink of an eye. On top of that, the split was
so thorough. It was the correct reaction for them to be speechless and
also… for their legs to turn jelly in fear.
At this moment, it was as if everybody had arrived at a consensus. This

self-proclaimed ‘Hua Wu Que", who was a handsome young man of the
Golden Core Stage, wasn’t just a flirtatious braggart after all.
...
"Whoosh!"
At this time, Xu Que was left with no alternatives and had to step on his
lightning arcs. Executing the Lightning Haste, he sped down the aisle
between the two seas of fire which was unignited. He landed in front of
Zeng Fan Rong and the others before apologizing, "My apologies,
Brother Zeng and my other brothers. I’ve made you all wait for a while!"
Everybody, "..."

forcefully. The reward is 40 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully putting on a

good acting tough show forcefully. The reward is 60 act tough points!"
The system beeps sounded in Xu Que’s mind.
Xu Que froze for a moment. What does it mean? I got another reward for
putting on a good show of acting tough? This is way too good. 100 act
tough points were earned in one shot!
"Uh… Brother Hua, you… you truly are...powerful!" Zeng Fan Rong
stuttered for almost half a day, unable to think of an adjective for Xu
Que. At long last, he finally exclaimed "powerful".
Everyone else nodded in unison, expressing their agreement.
"No, I am not. It’s my fault for not being properly prepared. If I had
known earlier about this Blazing Inferno Spell, I would’ve brought my
Ninth Heaven Thunderbolt Extinguisher. With a slight blow, the entire
sea of fire will be put out and I wouldn’t have caused so much damage.
Ah damn! I even destroyed some grass and trees. Oh dear, this is my
fault, my fault! I will certainly uphold the ‘Protecting the flowers and
plants is everybody’s responsibility’ ethic the next time…"
As for Xu Que’s innate bragging ability, it came to him very naturally and
fluidly each time he opened his mouth. This caused Zeng Fan Rong and
the others to pause in shock.


With Xu Que’s relentless stream of words, the system beep sounded

continuously in his head in response.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" In the midst of Xu Que trying to express himself,

two beams of light appeared from the mountains. Like shooting stars,
the light rays zoomed towards the group of people in an instant.
Two young men who were of the Original Infant Stage level 1, appeared
before them. They wore flowy, green embroidered robes and were
apparently members of the Sky Incense Valley too.
When they arrived and saw that the Blazi ng Inferno Spell was split into
two, they were at first surprised and then followed by confusion, they
raised their eyebrows.
"What happened here?" One of them looked at the Spell Core position
and asked.
A faint light shone from the Spell Core position as the two ladies
stepped out. Their faces were still filled with terror and shock.
They looked at Xu Que once and told the men, "Reporting to my two
Seniors. This guy here had split opened the entire Spell."
"Split open?" The two men were startled and t urned their attention
towards Xu Que.
Xu Que courteously clasped his hands in greeting, "Hello, my two

brothers. My name is Hua Wu Que. May I ask where do I sign up for the
Contest?"
The two men creased their brows even further.
One of them asked, "Did you break this Spell?"
"You flatter me, you flatter me!" Xu Que laughed humbly.
The man’s face became a bit annoyed. He bit his teeth, "I didn’t praise
you!"
"Oh, my mistake, my mistake!" Xu Que laughed again.

The man groaned and reprimanded sternly, "Stop smiling at me. Do you
know how valuable this spell is? How can you break this valuable spell
just like that? I don’t care what kind of demonic arts you’ve used. I just
want to tell you that you can stop thinking about entering the Contest
Area. For now, you’ll stay here and wait for our master to come. He will
personally settle the debt with you for destroying our Sect’s Spell!"
Upon hearing that, Xu Que’s smile vanished completely and was

replaced by a gloomy expression.
Zeng Fan Rong and the others were momentarily stunned. Some of the
others sniggered at him, clearly overjoyed at his misfortune. Some of
them, however, shook their head and sympathized with Xu Que.
Having offended the Sky Incense Valley, he was definitely done for!
No matter how strong a person was, to the Sky Incense Valley, he was
just a mere ant, waiting to be crushed by them!
...
The two female Sky Incense Valley disciples were startled. After they
looked at both of their Seniors, they lost any desire to speak. Right to
the end, none of them said anything.
After a few moments of silence, Xu Que’s lips started to reveal a chilly

smile.
Originally, he wanted to register, visit the Contest Area to act tough and
earn some act tough points. He didn’t plan to stir up any trouble.
What a pity. Things turned out differently from what he wanted!
"I’ll ask just one question. You have asked us to pass through the Spell
in order to register for the Contest Area. Which rule stated that breaking
the Spell wasn’t allowed?
Xu Que briefly asked, focusing his attention first on the two female Sky
Incense Valley disciples. He then turned his focus back to the pair of
Original Infant Staged men. After which…
"If there was no such rule in place, you...you all shall kneel down now,
kowtow, and apologize to me!"
His resounding, cloud-piercing and rock shattering voice, resonated

throughout the entire mountain forest and travelled into the distance.
79 Shook The Entire Scene
Chapter 79: Shook The Entire Scene

Everyone present was astounded!
Zeng Fan Rong and the others widened their eyes as they stared at Xu
Que unbelievably, looking aghast.
Kneel, kowtow and apologize?
Is this "Hua Wu Que", Brother Hua, crazy?
The opposition was not just any small time cultivator. They were
disciples from the Sky Incense Valley. On top of that, this area was set
by the Sect as their Contest Area. You, being a mere Golden Core
Stager, dare to speak to them this way?
The two female Sky Incense Valley disciples were also dumbfounded.
They didn't expect the once elegant and handsome young man would
change his temperament so quickly. He even became unreasonable and
yelled at them.
They themselves haven't seen such tremendous aura from their own
Seniors before. It was absolutely terrifying!
The pair of Original Infant Stage men were also dismayed by Xu Que’s
bold words. They then regained their senses and were furious.
"You are courting death!" The two men moved at the same time at once.
They raised their hands and combined to gather a tremendous amount

of Qi. From their palms emerged a light parasol which emitted a
sparking jade-colored light. The combination of colors looked brilliant
and vibrant!
"This… This is Wood Element spiritual Qi!" Zeng Fan Rong and the
others cried out in shock.
Among the five forms of spiritual Qi, the Fire Element spiritual Qi
possessed the most potential for attack. However, in actual combat, the
Wood Element spiritual Qi often had the maximum effect. On top of
specializing in healing powers and regenerative abilities, they could seal
and banish enemies.
And right now, these two strong Original Infant Staged Cultivators were
both using the Wood Element spiritual Qi and were launching a joint
attack. There was no one in the same cultivation stage who would be
able to match their attack.
The group of them were all thinking the same thing. This ‘Hua Wu Que’
person they had just met, was going to meet his end. After all, he was
just a mere Golden Core Full Foundation Stager!
"Whoosh!" The green parasols which were in the hands of the two male
Sky Incense Valley disciples, started to spin. Rays of light started to
spray outwards. Filled with confinement powers, the rays started to rush
towards Xu Que.
"Hmph! Insignificant worm!" Xu Que groaned coldly, held onto his Dark
Heavy Buster Sword, brandished it and abruptly rushed forward.
I can break thousands of skills with my power. No matter how strong

your skill is, I will break them!
With just a simple wave of the Buster Sword, a berserk aura ensued. It
was as if the aura could disintegrate anything in its way.
"Bang!" With a loud din, the pair of green parasols were shattered on the
spot and vanished into thin air.
As for the Air Wave the Buster sword emitted, there was seemingly no
end to how far it traveled.
That remnant energy of the Air Wave changed the expressions of the
two Sky Incense Valley disciples. With eyes filled with horror, it was as if
they could smell their impending aura of death.
"No! Retreat!" The tall lady from the Sky Incense Valley gasped!
"Whoosh!"
Momentarily, with their quick reactions, the two Original Infant Staged
disciples’ figures started to become blurry as they turned into pieces of
green willow leaves. Under their majestic Wood Element spiritual Qi,
they immediately disappeared from their positions and had already
retreated hundreds of meters away.
"Eh? This skill… not bad!" Xu Que was shocked. When he sent his
Buster Sword downwards earlier, he was actually using all his power
from the Flame-Devouring Wave— a Buster Sword skill.
Although he had not used the Soaring Dragon’s Nine Transformation to

amplify its power, he was practically close to b ringing down these two
Original Infant Stage level 1 Cultivators. He definitely did not expect
them to dodge it!
It was apparent that the background skills of the Sky Incense Valley
disciples were anything but ordinary. They were much stronger
compared to those from other Factions.
Also, that escape skill that those two Original Infant Staged men had
executed was definitely a different tier from normal escape skills.
"Ding! The Phaseless Magic has imitated the opponent’s skill ‘Dark
Willow Limbo’, do you want to train it?" The system beep sounded at this
time.
Xu Que was overjoyed. What this Phaseless Magic managed to do was

absolutely out of this world. It could grasp the opponent’s skill after just
seeing it for the first time!
However, what intrigued him the most was what this ‘Dark Willow Limbo’
could do. It was an escape spell but with a speed faster than the
Lightning Haste. Although it was just slightly faster, split seconds matter
the most and could be the difference between life and death!
"Learn it!" It never hurt to learn more skills. Xu Que replied the system
heartily.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully training the

‘Dark Willow Limbo’. As this skill was being imitated by the Phaseless
Magic, it is classified as a disabled skill. Do you want to consume 200
act tough points and perfectly repair this skill?"
"Eh? I still have to perfectly repair it?"
Xu Que was shocked. Looks like the system was starting to become
omnipotent, having so many cool abilities.
However, he was not in a rush to perfectly repair the skill. After all, this
‘Dark Willow Limbo’ was one of its kind and it was a type of skill to be
used in an emergency only. Consuming 200 act tough points to perfectly
repair it would be too expensive!
At this time, the two Original Infant Staged men who had retreated about
several hundred meters, gazed at Xu Que while suppressing their fear.
They wouldn’t dare to act without thinking carefully again.
Xu Que’s seemingly normal wave of Buster Sword contained a
frightening amount of power and caused the two men to suffer from
withdrawal symptoms of fear.
They were both aware that if their reactions were slower by just a little,
they would have been killed on the spot after being crushed under the
immense power of the ink-colored Buster Sword.
The two female disciples were also rather traumatized. When Xu Que
was waving his Buster Sword, they thought that both of their Seniors
were going to be crushed. It was fortunate for them that they activated
the Dark Willow Limbo in time to just barely dodge the attack!
Furthermore, Xu Que’s rage and resolution to kill was very vicious and
bloodthirsty which left a very deep mental scar within the female
disciples’ hearts.
"He went for the kill the moment he lifted his weapon . A man with such a
ruthless nature… We must not offend him!" The tall lady exclaimed in
her thoughts.
As for Zeng Fan Rong’s side, the bunch of them were stupefied.
Originally, they still thought that even if Xu Que did not die, he would be
severely injured by the two Original Infant Staged men.
Who knew that it took him just one move to make the two Sky Incense
Valley Original Infant Staged disciples retreat. Furthermore, it was one
versus two.
Scary...
This is too scary!
"I’d never expect that… He possessed such degree of power!" The few
of them softly muttered in their hearts.

The reward is 40 act tough points!" The system beep sounded in Xu
Que’s mind again. Although he did not kill the two Original Infant Staged
disciples, he still successfully acted tough!
Xu Que raised the corner of his lips and slowly lifted the Dark Heavy
Buster Sword. He pointed towards the two male disciples and laughed
grimly, "Kneel, kowtow, and apologize!"
The two male disciples’ faces were filled with rage. While trembling in
anger, they clenched their fists tightly but did not dare to rashly attack
him.
Xu Que’s previous attack had casted a mental shadow over them which
made them this afraid.
"Whoosh!" Another ray of flickering light emerged from the clouds in the
sky!
A man wearing a white-colored long robe with patterns of green willows

adorned on them, appeared before everybody.
The Wood Element spiritual Qi beneath his feet dispersed as he l ightly

landed on the ground. His imposing aura and presence slowly filled the
air.
"Master!"
The two pairs of male and female disciples exclaimed in unison. Their
faces were filled with reverence as they paid their respects to the man in
the white robe.
The white robed man nodded. His pair of enigmatic eyes turned towards
the two male disciples. He faintly said, "I’ve sent you two down here to
check the situation and this is how you both carry out my orders?"
The two male disciples immediately lowered t heir heads and said at the
same time, "Master, we deserved to be punished!"
"Apologize to him!" The white robed man lifted his hand towards Xu
Que.
The two male disciples were stunned as they were unwilling to

apologize. However, they did not in the slightest, dare to refute. While
still clenching their fists, they walked and stopped before Xu Que and
without any expression said, "We are sorry!"
Xu Que squinted his eyes, shook his head, and sneered, "I said to
kneel, kowtow, and then apologize!"
80 Why Should I Give You My Respect?
Chapter 80: Why Should I Give You My Respect?

"You…"
"Don’t go overboard!"
The two male Original Infant staged disciples glared at Xu Que as if they
had felt extraordinary shame and humiliation caused by him. They were
ready to pounce on Xu Que anytime!
Xu Que gave a chilly gaze and stared at them mockingly without any
trace of fear in his eyes. It was clear that he had never regarded them
seriously. His imposing demeanor was always so tranquil and yet so
intense at the same time.
This sudden change in his attitude wasn’t anticipated by any of them.
When the white robed man appeared and instructed the two male
disciples to apologize, the two female disciples weren’t the only ones
who were taken aback and surprised. Even Zeng Fan Rong and the
others couldn’t believe it.
Why would a master from the Sky Incense Valley want his own members
to apologize to an outsider?
Alright, it could be that this master was more on the reasonable side and
was being fair?
However, what was most surprising was that Xu Qu e relentlessly

persisted that the two male disciples kneel, kowtow and apologize to
him.
No… no one will oblige to that no matter who was it.
As if witnessing the acts of a lunatic, Zeng FanRong and the others

stared at Xu Que. One by one, they thought, "This Brother Hua is
definitely courting death and it seems like he wants to wage a war with
the Sky Incense Valley ‘till the end."

The system beep sounded in Xu Que’s head again. He would not allow
any chance to act tough slip away from his hands.
"Whatever. I don’t have any more patience to wait for you people to
kneel. I want to end the unfinished fight we had just now. I can give you
all a one move handicap against me. Show me what you’ve got!"
Xu Que abruptly shook his head, took out and gripped his Buster Sword
and pointed it right at the two Original Infant disciples.
The two of them felt intimidated on the spot and involuntarily retreated a
step.
At the same time, the white robed man’s figure suddenly moved. He cut
in front of the two disciples in an instant and stared at Xu Que ever
calmly with his enigmatic eyes.
"Friend, indeed we have no rule saying that no one must break the
Spell. Since you’ve broken the Spell, we ought to regard you as having
passed. And now, I, Ye Gu Ming, am standing here, apologizing to you
on behalf of both of my disciples. Show me some respect in return and
we shall call it a day. What do you think?" He asked wi th a refined tone
and lightly chuckled.
Xu Que shook his head and grimly snorted, "Why should I give you any
respect?"

Ye Gu Ming was taken aback momentarily. The smile on his face

became slightly rigid, not believing that Xu Que’s character could be this
headstrong. He didn’t even budge after two polite offers to resolve the
situation on a peaceful note.
Zeng Fan Rong and the others almost vomited blood while witnessing
from the side. They thought that this Brother Hua was being too bold but
they also felt that he wasn’t here to join the Contest at all and it seemed
like he was here to dig his own grave.
He had offended the Sky Incense Valley members on such a bad note.
And now, the disciples’ master even came personally to resolve the
situation but Xu Que didn’t give him an inch of respect. If he was really
accepted into the Sky Incense Valley, wouldn’t he be taught a cruel
lesson after?
"..." The two female disciples were astounded. Apparently, they had
never seen their own master being stepped all over like this before. This
black robed young man’s character was really headstrong to the point
that it gave everybody a suffocating feeling.
"Friend, there is no need to do this. With your strength, you have no

problem in entering our Sky Incense Valley. In the future, we could
possibly have a master-disciple relationship." Ye Gu Ming said with his
tone as mild-manner as before.
Xu Que gave a grim laugh and ignored his words.
What dog shit Sky Incense Valley? He didn’t have any intention to join
the Sect at all. His reason for being here today was simply to act tough.
To act tough without any problems. Even if trouble was stirred, it would
be a small one.
However, there were people who purposely provoked him. On top of

that, they even wanted to kill him. This wasn’t a small problem anymore.
Xu Que would never let this matter slide.
He requested to continue the fight and even allowed a one move

handicap for his opponent. Apparently, he wanted to test out the "Dark
Willow Limbo", which was being imitated by the Phaseless Magic. And of
course, this would also allow him to act tough at the same time!
With any amount of hatred and any amount of hardsh ips, he would never
give up on this secretive and grand occupation of acting tough!
Ye Gu Ming paused for a few moments and briefly laughed, "Why not we
do it this way. Since you have already passed the first stage, I shall let
you take the third stage in advance as a compensation. What do you
think?"
Zeng Fan Rong and the others momentarily became green with envy
upon hearing those words.
To be able to skip the second stage which was the hardest one and
directly enter the third stage, isn't this offer t oo good for a
compensation?
Also, once the third stage was cleared, one could immediately receive
the Sky Incense Valley Entrance Order. Once the final fourth stage had
been cleared, one could have the privilege of undergoing the Elite
Disciple selection in the Imperial City. Anyone would be envious!
"No thanks. I, Hua Wu Que, don’t have to resort to such means. If going
through the process is a requirement, I will definitely do it. There’s no
need to skip them! This time, I shall give you face and will let this matter
rest for now!" Xu Que waved his hand in rejection of Ye Gu Ming’s
suggestion but didn’t persist in his tyranny.
If he didn’t do that, he wouldn’t be able to continue acting tough.
The way to act tough required one to slowly progress in sta ges. If he did
everything in one shot, it wouldn’t be satisfactory.
Ye Gu Ming clearly heard Xu Que’s words and creased his brows. He

only said "Let the matter rest for now". That means, he would continue
to pursue the matter in the future.
However, he ultimately shook his head and ignored the fact. He clasped
his hands in thanks and nodded, "I give you my thanks on behalf of both
of my disciples! But, do you really not wish to skip over the second
stage?"
"I'm sure!" Xu Que rejected without thinking at all.
After that, he turned his head and he saw… Zeng Fan Rong and the
others trying their utmost best to cue him not to reject the offer with their
eyes.
Ye Gu Ming lightly laughed and said, "I’ve already witnessed your

strength when I arrived just now. However, this second stage… tests
one’s luck. It has very little to do with one’s strength. Therefore, I will
ask you again. Are you sure that you don’t want to skip it?"
Xu Que impatiently said, "Stop talking nonsense with me. I won’t skip!"
Following, he looked towards Zeng Fan Rong and the others and called
out, "Brother Zeng, let’s go and register!"
"The Registration Point is on the mountain. You will be able to see it

there." Ye Gu Ming smiled and pointed to one of the tall mountains
behind far in the distance.
Xu Que nodded and walked off with Zeng FanRong and the rest.
The others looked extremely stiff and became panicky.
Brother, actually we don’t know one another very well. Could you please
act like you don’t know us?
They didn’t want the Sky Incense Valley disciples to have the
impression that they were together with Xu Que, as they were afraid of
being ostracized if they managed to join the Sect.
However, when Xu Que walked over with a warm expression, the few of
them did not dare to say anything to him and could only laugh in
response.
Other than Xu Que, all of the others clasped their hands in respect to Ye
Gu Ming and said their byes. Following, they activated their skills and
rushed towards the mountain top.
After sending them off, Ye Gu Ming’s smile gradually dissipated and

became expressionless.
The two Original Infant Stage men pleaded apprehensively, "Master,

although it was us who touched him first, but he went overboard. If we
allow him to get the Entrance Order, in the future …"
"Shut up!" Ye Gu Ming reprimanded and then coldly stated, "The Water
Empress will arrive in the Fire Country’s Imperial City in a few days time
and personally impart her skills to the to -be Elite Disciple. I don’t wish to
cause any troubles during this time. Do you two understand?"
"Yes!" The two men immediately nodded.
Ye Gu Ming’s face then slightly relaxed, and deeply said, "That man in
the black robe is not simple. Even if I pitted myself against him, I cannot
guarantee my victory."
"Wh-What?" The two male Original Infant Stage disciples and the two
female Golden Core Staged disciples were taken aback on the spot.
81 The King Of Porcelain Touching World
Chapter 81: The King Of Porcelain Touching World

"Master, you are of the Original Infant Stage Level 5. How… how are
you not able to win him?" One of the male disciples asked with a
shocked and trembling voice.
Ye Gu Ming glanced at them and deeply replied, "When I was coming up

the mountains, I witnessed him executing his skills. He was definitely
not using it at full strength. Hence, if he really wanted to kill the both of
you just now, even I cannot stop him."
What?
That frightening way he wielded the Buster Sword, he… he wasn’t using
all his strength?
The two male disciples were surprised. A rumbling sound passed

through their head upon realization. Cold sweat started to drip from their
foreheads and their scalps started to feel numb.
Ye Gu Ming continued, "He possesses innate talent and strength. If he

joins our Sky Incense Valley, after three years of training in the seas, we
will have another ferocious general. I wanted to take advantage of this
situation and allow him to directly take on the third stage. It’s a pity that
he insisted on going with the second stage and now… We can only
depend on his destiny."
Following, Ye Gu Ming looked upon the Blazing Inferno Spell which was
split in half. He slightly squinted, "The four of you guard this area. I will
go back and ask for another Spell from the Elder and report the situation
to him at the same time!"
"Our respects, master!" The disciples said with utmost respect in unison.
Following that, they witnessed Ye Gu Ming transform into pieces of

green willow leaves and disappeared from his spot.
At this time, the four of heaved a sigh of relief. Their expressions were
filled with mixed feelings.
One of the Original Infant Stage men held out his fist and said
apathetically, "Master was thinking for the future of Sky Incense Valley.
That was the reason he put up with that scoundrel. I still extremely
loathe him. If he joins the Sky Incense Valley, I will not be able to take
it!"
"Rest assured. The second stage has got nothing to do with one’s
strength. Also, we have been inspecting the valley area these past few
days. That scoundrel will definitely not pass the second stage." Another
male disciple replied in a deep voice.
"I hope so. Let’s see if he can still stay arrogant when the time comes!"
At the same time, Xu Que, Zeng Fan Rong and the others had already
reached the Contest Area on the mountain top.
A large spell had been casted over this vast area and a protective water
screen could be seen in front of them.
As soon as they landed, everyone hurriedly stepped over into the Spell
area as if they could not bear to stay with Xu Que for a second longer.
Zeng Fan Rong had an awkward look as he clasped his hands and dryly
laughed, "The few of them… Sigh, they are mere laughing stocks,
Brother Hua."
"No worries, no worries!" Xu Que waved his hands without thinking too
much about it.
Among the entire group of people, the only one worthy of being a friend
was this chubby young man standing in front of him.
Although judging from appearances, he looked like he a spoilt brat and

seemed rather naive, but his personality was not that bad.
"Oh yes, Brother Hua, why did you reject the offer by Ye Gu Ming?
Although we don’t know what the third stage of this Contest Area holds,
but this second stage’s difficulty is definitely not low." Zeng FanRong
asked with a regretful look.
"Oh? Is this second stage really that hard? He said that it’s related to
luck. Could it be that this stage wants us to pick a lottery or something?"
Xu Que asked curiously.
Zeng Fan Rong shook his head, "The second stage instructed us to
enter the mountain valley to search for a certain medicinal herb named
the Star Miscanthus. It is an extremely rare plant species. After burning
the medicine, bright spots akin to countless stars will appear. However,
this medicine by itself doesn’t have much use. On the contrary, the Sky
Incense Valley has an special prescription which can refine the Star
Miscanthus into a pill which contains wood element spiritual Qi. Upon
using it, one can train the wood element spiritual Qi to an extent, even if
he doesn’t possess the wood core spiritual roots. Therefore, this second
stage requires us to find the medicine within six hours. We have to get
into groups with a limit of six per group. If one person in the group finds
the Star Miscanthus, the entire group will pass!"
Star Miscanthus? Xu Que was astounded.
He remembered chancing upon the Star Miscanthus under the Medicine

category in the system store. It was… cheap as hell!
"This Star Miscanthus is hard to find?" Xu Que asked with a weird look.
Zeng Fan Rong nodded, "It is extremely difficult to find. However, they
can be found anywhere due to them being able to grow on any terrain or
place. But this particular herb will never grow in a bunch. Rumor has it
that there is only one within every thousand miles."
"Damn, such an emotionally solitary herb actually exists?" Xu Que

became speechless all of a sudden.
But… It turned out that this second stage wasn’t a problem at all.
A while ago, he took the chance to check the system store. The Star
Miscanthus herb was frighteningly cheap. It costed one act tough point
for ten bunches!
"Brother Hua, how about this, we’ll go find the others and discuss. If the
six of us form a group, the chance of us finding the Star Miscanthus will
be much higher." Zeng Fan Rong suggested.
Xu Que waved his hand in rejection, "No need to. The both of us will be
enough."
"Huh?" Zeng Fan Rong stared blankly.
Xu Que slightly smiled, "If Brother Zeng trusts me, you definitely will not
regret."
"This…" Zeng Fan Rong hesitated.
If this stage was a group battle, he wouldn’t think twice about grouping
with Xu Que alone. But since the task was to search for the medicinal
herb, the more people, the higher their chance of finding it.
"Brother Zeng, you need not feel troubled. After all, this test depends on
one’s fortune and luck. I personally am used to moving alone. I shall
take my leave first. Oh yes, if you are interested, you can join my
Heaven Explosion Faction." After finishing, Xu Que said his goodbyes
and walked into the Spell area alone.
Left with a stumped expression, Zeng Fan Rong thought, "Heaven

Explosion Faction? What a weird name and why haven’t I heard of it
before?"
At that moment, Xu Que had already entered the protective screen and
ended up behind the Spell.
One could describe what he saw as ‘a sea of people’.
The entire mountain top was filled with people r anging from Core
Bearing Stage to Golden Core Stage cultivators. There was even a small
fraction of Original Infant Stage Cultivators. All of them had rushed to
partake in this Contest.
Xu Que was startled. Is the Sky Incense Valley really so popular? The
number of people registering in this single Contest Area was almost as
many as the total population of the entire Celestial Sect!
Amongst the crowd, several green robed cultivators could be seen

issuing participating cultivators a wooden tablet each. Each tablet had a
number carved on it, which was for the convenience of recording
participants’ progress.
Xu Que looked and realized that there was a Registration Point just in
front and he walked towards it.
The Registration Point was also filled with many people. The queue was
very long and there were many surrounding cultivators trying to look for
a group.
Xu Que thought for awhile and decided not to cut the queue. After all, he
felt that he was a civilized and well-mannered individual. And so, he
willingly joined the back of the queue.
Although there were many people in the queue, most of them were
already in groups of six. Upon getting their wooden tablets, they left the
queue in a hurry.
Before long, Xu Que had reached the front of the queue.
At this point, a few tall and sturdy figures abruptly appeared right beside
Xu Que.
Before Xu Que could say anything, he heard a low pitched voice , "Lad,
if you are smart, you will move away. If not, when we enter the mountain
valley to find the medicine, I will make you suffer."
"Idiot, get lost!" Xu Que replied.
He glanced at the few of them and was too lazy to reason with them any
further.
The opposition were around level 8 or 9 of the Golden Core Stage.

Although there were six of them, Xu Que could crush them with his
finger if he wanted to.
After hearing Xu Que’s reply, the six of them became furious. One of the
burly men reprimanded, "I dare you to say it one more time!"
Oh yeah!
Xu Que was overjoyed. He actually managed to find someone who

enjoyed being scolded? Alright, I shall oblige you.
"May your mum explode to death, your father is already dead. Get out of
my way!" He rapidly let out a chain of insults.
"You shameful being, you’re itching to die!" The burly man refuted
furiously, raised his fist and was about to fight.
However, he was held back by his group.
Many surrounding cultivators started to crowd around. Some were

curious, some were here to witness others’ misfortune and some were
here to join in the fun.
At the same time, a green-robed Original Infant Stage disciple hurriedly

walked over and frowned, "No one is allowed to make a racket in this
area. This is a warning. If there is a next time, all of you shall be
disqualified."
After that, he fiercely stared at the burly man and Xu Que before slowly
turning to leave.
The burly man stared coldly at Xu Que and revealed an eerie smile,
"Lad, you are done! When we enter the mountain valley, no one will be
able to protect you." Finishing his words, he ended by tauntingly patting
Xu Que’s shoulder, and left.
"Argh!" Suddenly, Xu Que let out a piercing scream.
Under the eyes of everyone, like a kite with a broken string, Xu Que
abruptly flew backwards and landed on an empty space. His palms were
tightly gripped around his shoulders, which t he burly man tapped. His
face was pale and filled with various expressions of agony, grievance,
anger, unwillingness, and… most of it was just grievance!
"Whoosh!" In a flash, the Original Infant stage disciple in green robes

returned and appeared between Xu Que and the burly man. His face
was utterly displeased and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Xu Que who was lying on the ground, raised his arm with "extreme
difficulty", and shakingly pointed at the burly man with a dying
expression. He angrily exclaimed, "This… this man is vicious. I didn’t let
him cut the queue and… and I didn’t think that he would… mount a
surprise attack on me!"
82 An Honest Child In One Look
Chapter 82: An Honest Child In One Look

"Wow!" A sudden uproar could be heard from nearby onlookers.
Everybody’s vision focused on the burly man’s body and looked at him
in amusement.
He actually dared to cause trouble at the Sky Incense Valley Contest

Area. Is he tired of living?
However, the burly man was stumped. His entire mind went blank. No
matter how he thought, he could never have imagined that Xu Que
would make use of such means. Also, his actions came out of the blue.
Xu Que practically flew backwards immediately after he tapped his

shoulder.
To the onlookers, it was really as if the burly man had placed his hands
on Xu Que!
The several companions of the burly man were also in dismay. Even
they were looking at him suspiciously as if they assumed his guilt in the
matter.
"Argh… Argh... I don't think I can hold on for much longer." Xu Que was
lying on down on the ground as he let out a feeble groan.
One of the onlookers could not take the sight anymore and yelled out,
"We’re all kindred spirits! Is it necessary to resort to such evil means?
Look at how badly you’ve hurt this young man!"
"What tyranny. Performing such an unscrupulous act and causing a

racket. What do you treat the Sky Incense Valley Contest Area as?"
Someone exclaimed from the crowd while frowning.
"Yeah, take a look at the pale face of this young man. He looks like he
had been severely injured by your ruthless and violent act." With Xu
Que’s handsome looks, a lady who was not too far from him could not
take it and spoke up for him.
"Hmph! That burly man even tried to cut my queue. Luckily, I have quite
a few people on my side which made him turn and leave. Right after, I
saw him going to that young man and threaten him. He should not be
allowed into the Sky Incense Valley!" Another man shouted from the
middle of the queue.
"What a nasty injury you gave him. This black robed young man looks so
refined and gentle. He looks like an honest child. How could you do that
to him!"
"Yeah… being hurt to this extent at the Golden Core Stage Full
Foundation meant he must’ve been off guard!"
"This is indeed a vicious act!"
...
In a blink of an eye, the surrounding crowd started to hurl abuses and

criticized the burly man, blaming everything on him.
The burly man was angry to the point where he almost spat out blood.
He felt extremely sullen.
He angrily stared at Xu Que who was still on the ground. Xu Que even
found the time to wink at him and smile.
At that moment, the burly man felt as if his heart was smashed
ferociously by a fist and nearly fainted out of shock.
The green robed man from Sky Incense Valley heard the crowd’s
accusations and looked abruptly towards the burly man before
reprimanding him, "How extremely daring of you to ignore my stern
warning? How dare you hurt the others!"
The burly man panicked immediately and quickly shook his heads and
waved his hands, "It’s… It’s not me, friend, Senior, this has got nothing
to do with me."
"Nothing got to do with you? Are you telling me that he has fallen down
on his own?" Somebody from the crowd chided.
The burly man then sulked and said, "He really fell over on his own."
Hearing this, the entire crowd became completely furious.
"What a detestable guy. Do you really think we are three -year-olds?

How can such absurd words come out from your mouth."
"What a shameless act. You really think nobody is above you."
"Senior of Sky Incense Valley, you must find justice for this young man.
This dishonorable man must absolutely not be allowed into the Sect. If
he is, he will cause dishonour for your Sect."
"This type of people should be taught a lesson. Throw him off the
mountain."
"What a disgrace to our World of Cultivators!"
"It’s… It’s really not me. He is trying to set me up…" The burly man was
worried and panicky. In the face of so many people accusing him, he
was simply at a loss of words.
The green robed man coldly said, "There’s no need to explain further.
There are witnesses to you putting your hands on the young man. Don’t
blame me for putting the Sky Valley Incense regulations into action!"
After finishing his words, the green robed man held out his palm
abruptly in the air. Gathering a majestic bout of Qi, a thin willow branch
formed and wrapped the burly man up in a locking motion immediately!
The burly man’s expression changed and yelled, "It’s really not me!
You… you people are bullies!"
He became appalled and also started to activate his skill and wanted to
counter attack.
"Hmph! You still dare to retaliate?" The green robed man gave a cold
‘Hmph’, shot out his palm and the willow branch started to speed up.
He had cultivated to the Original Infant Stage level 2 a long time ago
and the burly man who was at Golden Core Stage level 9, could not hold
a candle against him.
In a flash of anger akin to a connecting thread, the thin willow branch

started to run through the air in an unusually fast speed. In a flash, the
entire body of the burly man was bound and constricted. Even the the
Qi-releasing passageways inside his body were all being confined.
Following that, the green robed man waved his palm and the burly man’s
tall and sturdy body started to float upwards. The willow branch
tightened which started to sink deep into his flesh.
"Ah!!!" The burly man immediately screamed in agony. After that, his
entire being was thrown down the mountains.
"..." The crowd went silent and was stunned by the green robed man’s
method of expelling the burly man.
As for Xu Que, he had already quietly left the crowd and was standing at
another side of the Registration Point on the top of the mountain,
nonchalantly standing in the queue.
There were apparently even more people here and even livelier than
before. However, there were quite a number of peopl e who heard the
commotion from the other side and they were tiptoeing and trying watch
from the sidelines.
One of them saw Xu Que squeezing his way here from the other side
and asked, "Friend, what happened on the other side?"
"Ah? I don’t know too. I’ve heard that someone was ‘Porcelain
Touching’!" With a dazed face, Xu Que nodded and replied and
continued to wait in the queue.
"Porcelain… Touching? What does that mean?" The man was puzzled.
But seeing that Xu Que was also not sure of what happened, he did not
ask any further.
Not long after, Xu Que finally reached the front of the queue.
This time, finally, nobody came to look for trouble. After the six -man
group in front of him collected their wooden tablets and left, it was Xu
Que’s turn.
The person in charge of registering names was a young female disciple.

She had pretty facial features. However, it seemed as if she was not in a
very good mood as she was frowning for quite awhile.
She lifted her head and briefly looked at Xu Que. She then coldly said,
"Provide me the names of the five other members in your group."
"Hua Wu Que!" Xu Que replied.
The lady’s brows momentarily creased even further. Impatiently, she

repeated, "I asked for the names of all your group members."
"I’m the only one in the group." Xu Que looked at the lady up and down
and replied thoughtfully.
After hearing, she couldn't help but to lift her head and shockingly
asked, "Only you?"
"Yep."
"Are you sure?"
"Yep."
"..."
"Miss."
"What?"
"I’m actually a physician. Everyone calls me the God of Doctors. If I

didn’t guess wrongly, Miss, you are suffering from a gynecological
disease! Have you been feeling distraught with anxiety and prickly pain
from your lower abdomen? Have you also been finding it hard to
concentrate? Has your period every month not been on time? I suggest
you water boil dark brown sugar and…"
"Shut your mouth!" Before Xu Que could finish, the female disciple
abruptly slammed the table and rebuked with a blushing face.
At the same time, countless surrounding people gathered their vision

towards Xu Que.
"..." Xu Que gave an innocent face as if he did not know what had
happened.
One of the Sky Incense Valley disciples, who was in charge of rule-
keeping, happened to pass by and asked, "Junior, anyone causing
trouble?"
The female disciple glared at Xu Que, shook her head and replied,
"Senior, it’s nothing. This young guy said he was going to go through the
second stage himself and I was just trying to persuade him!"
After those words, everybody was astounded and stared at Xu Que in

awe.
Following, the entire crowd started to roar with laughter!
"Haha! Is this guy an idiot?"
"How ridiculous! Trying to clear the second stage alone."
"Even with six people in a group, there is no guarantee of finding that

Star Miscanthus in six man hours. With him going alone, he would have
just one man hour. Is he dumb?"
"The newborn cow does not fear the tiger. Although he has quite a high
Cultivation Stage but apparently, we can’t say the same for his
intelligence."
"Young man, you should quickly join a group. You cannot finish the
second stage by yourself."
Xu Que lifted the corner of his lips. Sweeping his eyes past everyone,
he laughed grimly, "I am the Heavenly son of Luck. Luck is attached to
my body and I’m omnipotent. Just a mere Star Miscanthus, I can find
many of them without any effort. If you people don’t believe, wait and
see!"
Finishing, he flung his long robes, grabbed a wooden tablet from the
table and strode away with his head high.

83 Have You Seen A Fairy Before?
Chapter 83: Have You Seen A Fairy Before?

Amidst all the mocking, taunting and ridiculing, Xu Que wore a smile and
followed the directional signs on the mountain top towards the valley.
Along the way, there were many other Cultivators who were also on their
way towards the valley who had heard of Xu Que wanting to finish the
stage alone, and they could not help but laugh at him too.
Hence, Xu Que walked past tens and hundreds of them. More than half
of them knew about his situation.
"Hey, I’ve heard of a young man who didn’t know his limits and wanted
to pass through the second stage alone!"
"Ha ha! I’ve heard about it already and had been excite d about it for a
while. How could somebody be so stupid?"
"Yeah. One would have only a one hour limit if he chooses to go through
the stage alone. With two in a group, they would have two hours. With
six of us, we would accumulate to having six hours. Als o, no matter how
many members, only one of us needs to find the Star Miscanthus for the
entire group to pass. Why does this young man choose to go through
such pains to do it alone?"
"This Sky Incense Valley developed the stage with the same mission to
complete but with different time limits. Other than evaluating participants
on their Luck, it also tests on the ability to match and build rapport with
the others. Without being able to understand this truth, it’s clear that this
lad is definitely too young and have too little life experience."
"But, I’ve heard rumors of him. Other than being good -looking and being
both refined and cultured, he dons a black robe and carries an ink -
colored Buster Sword which makes him look especially imposing. Why
would he make such a silly decision?"
"Eh, look! There’s someone in front wearing a black robe and carrying
an ink-colored Buster sword. Don't tell me that’s him?"
"Where, where? Damn, it’s really him…"
Xu Que had already been ignoring the weird looks and mockery the
passer bys had been giving him. With a faint smile on his face, he was
filled with a look of toughness!
After all, people from the past always had things to say about me and
the commoners tried to defame, bully, insult, laugh at, disparage, look
down on, slander and deceive me. How am I supposed to punish them
all?
One ought to bear with, allow, reason with, avoid, tolerate, respect, and
ignore them and wait for a few years to see him again.
Hence, Xu Que held an optimistic attitude with a face full of smiles,

turned around and told the few groups of people beside him, "Damn your
mum. What the hell are you looking at? Do you want me to thrash you to
death?"
"Whoa!" Everyone went into an uproar.
"We’ve misjudged you. Who would imagine that a dignifie d, cultured and
refined good-looking young man like yourself would spout such
vulgarities."
"Let it go, let’s ignore him. There are Sky Incense Valley disciples
patrolling. Let’s teach him a lesson after we’ve entered the valley."
"Hmph! I would like to see his face after he fails to find the Star
Miscanthus and get driven out of the stage!"
After seeing the people leaving with angered faces, Xu Que let out a
gratified smile. He then walked towards the entrance of the valley
elegantly.
Three Sky Incense Valley disciples stood at the valley’s entrance. There
were two men and one woman and they were all at the Original Infant
Stage. They were in charge of recording the time that Cultivators
entered and left the valley. They also check if they brought the Star
Miscanthus upon leaving.
Xu Que went up and asked courteously, "I am Hua Wu Que and I would
like to enter the stage!"
The three disciples momentarily rolled their eyes and thought, "Brother,
you were just scolding everybody a moment ago and now you are here
acting so polite. Do you really think we are blind?"
"What’s the number on your wooden tablet?" The female disciple asked
after recording Xu Que’s name in a book behind.
Xu Que lowered his head and looked at the wooden tablet. After staring
blankly for a short moment, he read, "9527!"
"Okay!" The female disciple nodded lightly as she concentrated some

Core Energy on her fingertip. She then tapped on the wooden tablet on
Xu Que’s hand and said, "This wooden tablet has already been fused
with the scent of your body. Nobody else will be able to pretend to be
you and neither will you be able to act as another participant. Therefore,
you must remember to return within your time limit, or else, even if you
find the Star Miscanthus, you will be deemed to have failed. Do you
understand?"
"I understand. Oh yes, lady, have you met a fairy before?" Xu Que
asked the female disciple after nodding and answering her.
"Ah? I… haven’t." The female disciple was startled for a moment.

Although as a cultivator, mortals usually address them as Fairies, but in
the eyes of a Cultivator, only those who have soared heavenwards and
enter the World of Immortals, were addressed as Fairies.
Xu Que slightly smiled and lovingly replied, "I haven’t seen one before
too. However, ever since I met you, I think I’ve finally seen one!"
After hearing Xu Que’s words, she was initially shocked. When she
reacted, her face blushed immediately. With a tinge of shyness, she
lowered her head and didn’t dare make eye contact with Xu Que.
The other two male disciples, along with another group of male
Cultivators, widened their eyes in the moment and their faces were filled
with astonishment.
Just two sentences by him could make an Original Infant Stage lady
blush. Damn, he is definitely brilliant and have such a fresh and refined
flirting skill. He is definitely… awesome!

He could gain act tough points just by hitting up a girl. Such a sleek and
awesome method of hitting up a girl!
Xu Que let out a faint smile, kept his wooden tablet and turned around.
He left the scene confidently amidst everyone’s shocked looks.
Several moments later, a male voice from one of the Sky Incense Valley
disciples came from behind, "Hua Wu Que, number 9527, time limit in
valley is one hour!"
Xu Que almost stumbled. What the hell, why were those words so
familiar? The way he said it was like escorting somebody into a prison
cell!
Entering the mountain valley, Xu Que suddenly realized that this entire
valley was confined within a huge Spell.
Lifting his head and looking around, he realized that apart from the
entrance, the entire area was enveloped by a layer of water -like
protective screen. It was to stop participants from escaping with the Star
Miscanthus.
"Looks like when I leave, I presume that my item hoard will be
inspected? Heh, too bad, it’s useless. My system Deposit Storage
cannot be checked by anyone else." Xu Que let out a smirk and strode
forward.
There were quite a number of people in the mountain valley. Bit by bit,
more Cultivators walked by. Some of them had just entered and some
were about to leave the stage.
The ones entering had faces filled with deep anticipation and those
leaving were either overjoyed or disappointed.
However, Xu Que felt rather at ease. His aim was to come in for a stroll
and also to prank some people. When time was about to be up, he
would exchange for several Star Miscanthus from the system store. He
could finish the stage and act tough in one go.
After walking for several hundred meters, the amount of people around
had gradually receded. After all, this mountain valley was huge. Groups
which entered wouldn’t waste any time and activate their skills to quickly
search for the Star Miscanthus.
Xu Que was the only one strolling around leisurely.
Moments later, he strolled upon an area with very little people. He

prepared to find a place to lie down and bask in the sunlight. However,
not too far in the distance, a few figures emerged and it looked like they
were in a dispute of some sort.
Xu Que stopped in his tracks. After looking at the faces of the few
people, he was dumbfounded.
Those were familiar faces!
In fact, he even knew people on both sides of the confrontation!
There were six Golden Core Staged Cultivators surrounding another six
Foundation Building Staged Cultivators. Among them, there was a
Foundation Building Staged lady who had a distinct temperament. She
spoke resentfully, "You are merely bullying the weak."
"We are not bullying. We clearly saw the Star Miscanthus first. We only
wanted to look for more of them. When we came back, you people
already took it. Quickly hand it over." Xu Que recognized the man who
had just finished talking. He was the green robed young man who was
previously with Zeng Fan Rong and the others.
However, he did not form a group with Zeng Fan Rong and the others.
Rather, he had found other several high Staged Cultivators as
groupmates.
As for the group of Foundation Staged Cultivators who were being

bullied, Xu Que recognized two of them.
The one with the distinctive temperament was Tang Xue Rou. She was
the "Fairy Sister" Xu Que first saw after his rebirth. Another man, whose
behaviour and appearance was out of the or dinary, was another disciple
of the Celestial Sect. He was the saber-wielding youngster Xu Que met
when he mistakenly barged into the Treasure Chamber, Zhang Su Liang.
The other four were also disciples of the Celestial Set. Xu Que
recognized them but did not remember their names.
Perhaps they were prepared to leave the Celestial Sect, since the six of
them were here today to participate in the Contest of the Sky Incense
Valley!
However, what surprised Xu Que was the fact that Tang Xue Rou’s
Cultivation speed was very fast. Only after a few months, she was
already at the Foundation Building Stage and had achieved Stage 5 at
that.
For Zhang Su Liang, he had already reached the Foundation Building

Stage Full Foundation and was half a step from the Core Bearing Stage!
Under normal circumstances, Xu Que would leave after watching the

commotion for some time. But at this point, the bully was the green
robed young man. He was the one who mocked Xu Que earlier. With Xu
Que’s watchful eyes, he definitely wouldn’ t leave the scene with
whatever he wanted.
"Don't move, robbery... Cough, my mistake, it’s become my habit after

using that phrase too often." After yelling those words, Xu Que suddenly
realized that they were unfitting for the situation. He then coughed and
said seriously, "Hey, what are you guys doing? I’ve no problem with you
all arguing. But the problem is, can you people please not stand beside
my Star Miscanthus and make a ruckus?"
YOUR Star Miscanthus???
The two sides of people heard his words and turned their heads in
unison. They were appalled.
84 How The Hell Can You Call This A Poem?
Chapter 84: How The Hell Can You Call This A Poem?
What are you talking about?
You call this your Star Miscanthus? Who are you?
The both sides turned their heads and looked at Xu Que, faces filled
with confusion.
After recognizing Xu Que, the green robed young man’s face ‘swished’
and immediately became pale.
The images of Xu Que breaking the Spell and causing two Original
Infant Staged disciples of the Sky Incense Valley to retreat after
executing one skill resurfaced in the green robed man’s h ead. The
scenes were carved into his brain deeply and couldn’t be erased.
"Lad, this has got nothing to do with you. If you are smart enough, you
will scram!" At this point, one of the green robed young man’s
companion who was at the Golden Core Stage Full Foundation, glared
at Xu Que and yelled at him.
The green robed man heard it and turned pale in an instant!
"Brother Lin, don’t pursue it already!" He quietly hinted at the Cultivator.
Without any intention to heed the green robed youngster’s advice, the
Cultivator grimly said, "This lad has the audacity to boast shamelessly.
How dare he try to snatch the Star Miscanthus from us. Is he not afraid
that he cannot back his words?"
"Brother Lin, stop it!" The green robed man expressions fell as he yelled
frightenedly.
His few companions became momentarily surprised. Even Tang Xue

Rou, who was trapped in the middle of the two sides, blanked out for a
moment. They did not understand what was happening with the green
robed youngster.
Standing not far in the distance, Xu Que was smiling ear to ear. Hugging
his Buster sword with his hands, he stared at the group of them with a
profound gaze.
The green robed youngster felt a chill ran down his spine. From a
distance, he panickedly clasped his hands and greeted, "Brother Hua,
what a coincidence. I was just passing by, I shall take my leave first!"
When he finished speaking, he clutched onto his Flying Sword and fled
without turning back.
The five Golden Core Staged Cultivators were at a loss. Staring at the
green robed youngster fleeing, they looked blankly at Xu Que.
No matter how they looked, they could not find any trace of someone
extraordinary. All they could see was that this Golden Core Full
Foundation Staged young man was rather good-looking. Apart from that,
there was nothing else special about him.
The few Golden Core Stagers became even more baffled.
Tang Xue Rou, Zhang Su Liang and the others were also looking at Xu
Que and felt uneasy.
With the human-skinned mask on, nobody was able to recognize Xu

Que. What made them uneasy was the Star Miscanthus planted on the
ground!
This Star Miscanthus was originally discovered by them. However,

before they could pick the plant, a group of Golden Core Stagers
surrounded them. And now, before them appeared a rather odd black
robed young man who was at the Golden Core Stage Full Foundation.
The few of them could not help but to give up all hope!
"Looks like… we will not be able to get this Star Miscanthus!" Zhang Su
Liang shook his head while laughing awkwardly.
A battle between Golden Core Stagers was definitely not a fight

Foundation Building Stagers could join in.
Tang Xue Rou bit her teeth and was unwilling to give it up. However, it
was not her first day in the World of Cultivators. She deeply un derstood
that strong Cultivators commanded respect and that only the fittest
survive. At last, she let out a sigh and did not say anything else.
The few other Celestial Sect disciples looked very gloomy.
At this moment, Xu Que marched in their direction.
The five Golden Core Stagers’ eyelids twitched and were alarmed.
They finally understood the green robed youngster’s weird actions. This
black robed man wasn’t simple.
"Hey, don't be so uptight. It’s just a Star Miscanthus. I have many of

them with me. If you don't believe, I will show you."
Calmly, Xu Que touched his chest area and took out ten Star
Miscanthus. They had just been purchased in the system store. He had
only spent one act tough point!
"What?!" It’s really the Star Miscanthus!"
"How could this be? Where… where did you find that many?"
Everyone on the scene widened their eyes and asked in shock.
Xu Que shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, when I went to the toilet just
now, I forgot to bring toilet paper. I sank deeply into a predicament and
an apparent dilemma!"
"Huh?" The few people were clouded by confusion.
Xu Que continued, "Just as I was in despair, I saw some grass growing

by the side. I quickly plucked some and wiped my butt clean. Boy, did I
realize they were Star Miscanthus. I then proceeded to pick a few more
of them!"
Everybody: "..."
"Friend, your joke isn't funny at all!"
"Everybody knows that there is only one Star Miscanthus every

thousand meters. What you’ve said is impossible. They cannot be
growing together."
"Also, please change the topic of your jokes. Don’t be disgusting."
The few Golden Core Stagers frowned and said disgustedly, their faces
did not look too happy.
Xu Que became a little annoyed and glared at them, "What’s disgusting?
What’s so disgusting about going to the toilet to take a shit? Let me ask,
is there anybody here who hasn’t taken a dump before?"
"..." Everyone was at a loss for words.
One of the Cultivators shook his head, "Friend, stop talking about it
already."
"I want to talk about it, what’s up? I still have a poem for you all."
Xu Que widened his eyes for a bit and recited, "Since the ancient days,
who does not shit? Then who among us does not use paper when they
shit?"
Everybody: "..."
Xu Que continued, "A gentleman who doesn’t clean his ass with paper,
cleans it with his fingers!"
Pfff!
The few people almost felt like vomiting blood.
Damn! He dares to call this a poem?
One of the Golden Core Stagers said apathetically, "Friend, the joke
ends here. Since you have so many Star Miscanthus, surely you won’t
fight over this one with us?"
"Who said I am trying to snatch it from you. This Star Miscanthus…

belongs to me originally!" Xu Que squinted his eyes and smiled. Soon
after, his figure became blurry in an instant.
Before the others could react, a surge of powerful Wood Element

spiritual Qi emanated from Xu Que’s body.
A light "rustle!" sounded and his entire body turned into rays of green-
colored light, which was akin to plumes of fine willow leaves gently
landing. Xu Que then disappeared in an instant!
"What?"
"This… This is one of the famous skills of the Sky Incense Valley, the
Dark Willow Limbo!"
"How does he know this skill?"
The few Golden Core Stagers were rather knowledgeable. When Xu Que
executed the ‘Dark Willow Limbo’ which he had imitated, they
recognized it straight away. One by one, their faces turned pale as they
let out cries of surprise!
"Not good! That Star Miscanthus!"
Suddenly one of them reacted and abruptly turned to looked at the feet
of Tang Xue Rou and the others.
The Star Miscanthus, which was originally growing at that spot had
really disappeared!
At the next moment, Xu Que appeared before them again and looked at
them while grinning ear to ear. In his hand was the Star Miscanthus
which he just picked up from the ground.
The entire process happened in the space of a single breath.
With the Dark Willow Limbo’s explosive power, Xu Que was able to
successfully pick the Star Miscanthus from under their eyes without
them realizing.
Firstly, he intended to test out the skill’s powers and effectiveness.

Secondly, he could act tough with the skill.

Hearing the system beep in his head, Xu Que knew that this display of
acting tough was indeed successful.
Tang Xue Rou and the others were stumped. Although they didn't know
what the "Dark Willow Limbo" was, judging by the speed which Xu Que
had exhibited, they were certain that this black robed young man w as
much stronger than any of their Golden Core Staged Seniors from their
Celestial Sect.
At the same time, the five Golden Core Stagers’ eyes were burning with
rage. Their faces were also extremely gloomy.
"Sir, are you really forcing us to lay our hands on you?" One of them
furiously exclaimed. He was really becoming angry.
Without giving a care, he plainly replied, "You bunch of weak -bullying

ants, what rights do you have to talk about ‘aying hands’"? Because you
people will be crushed in just one slam from my Buster Sword!"
85 Is There Really Starlight In The Star Miscanthus?
Chapter 85: Is There Really Starlight In The Star Miscanthus?

"Hmph! You talk really big!"
"That green robed young man was probably his companion and they
were just putting on a show to make us fear them."
"I don’t believe that a single mere Golden Core Full Foundation Stager
can fight with us, who are also at the same stage as him!"
"Kill him!"
Just as the system beep sounded in Xu Que’s head, the five Golden
Core Stagers couldn't tolerate him any longer.
After shouting out in anger, the five men attacked swiftly!
In order to get the privilege to join Sky Incense Valley, they decided to
fight each other for it. More importantly, they didn't believe that Xu Que,
who was just at the Golden Core Full Foundation Stage, could be that
strong.
"Grrr!" The five men attacked simultaneously. Countless rays of light

emerged from their sword skills. Along with lines of flame being
released, they formed a huge and formidab le offensive net and charged
towards Xu Que.
Tang Xue Rou, Zhang Su Liang and the others turned pale in an instant.
"What powerful skills. These five men are in perfect sync. It seems like
they’ve known each other for a long time." Zhang Su Liang exclaim ed in
surprise.
"I'm afraid that even our Elite group of Seniors can't compare to them."
"The black robed man is in deep trouble this time."
"Unless he executes that high-speed ‘Dark Willow Limbo’, then maybe

he would have a shot at running away."
The few Celestial Disciples spoke out gloomily. They had never seen
such high level cultivators clash back in their Sect. Of course, this didn't
include the time when Xu Que exploded his ‘Buddha’s Fiery Lotus’ upon
the Sect.
"Boom!"
At the same time, Xu Que had already lifted up his Dark Heavy Buster
Sword. A dark hurricane of energy surged from his body and his black
robe started fluttering by itself without any wind!
Immediately, a faint green light emerged from his body. It was

completely filled with rich wood element Spiritual Qi. After countless
plumes of Willow leaves landed, Xu Que’s entire figure abruptly
disappeared!
"He’s trying to run away with the ‘Dark Willow Limbo’!"
"Hmph! It’s no use. Too late for him to run now!" The five Golden Core
Stagers coldly jeered and attacked simultaneously.
But at the next moment, a frightening aura filled the air and started to
move towards them.
The five Golden Core Stagers’ expressions changed. An intense and

suffocating feeling of uneasiness crept onto them.
"That’s not right. This feeling…"
"Quick, dodge!" The few of them screamed in shock.
But it was all too late. The sky darkened as if nightfall had approached.
Soon after, the few men witnessed a pair of eyes which were as dark as
night. Their faces were filled with fear and shock.
"No!!!"
The Xu Que they thought who had fled, suddenly appeared before them
and was within an arm’s length away.
It was too late for them to run. They let out a shout of disbelief and
attempted to resist one last time.
However, the Dark Heavy Buster Sword had already transformed into an
overwhelming, dense dark shadow. It enveloped the entire area as it
crashed down upon them.
"Pff! Pff! Pff!" The men were crushed into mists of blood. Their bodies
exploded in mid-air and resembled red fireworks.

Core Staged Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a
Golden Core!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully killing a Golde n

Golden Core!"

Golden Core!"

Golden Core!"

Golden Core!"
"Ding! Since host ‘Xu Que’ have currently yet to complete the 49
Heavenly Tribulation, the obtained experience points will be temporarily
stored in the Experience Pool!"
A chain of system beep sounded in Xu Que’s head.
He landed and kept his Dark Heavy Buster Sword. An expression of

pleasant surprise filled his face.
The reason that he did not execute the Lighting Haste was because he
didn’t want to reveal his identity.
When he was at the Celestial Sect, he had used the Lightning Haste
along with the Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations. He then finished
off the old female Elder with the Buddha’s Fiery Lotus. Back then, he did
not use his Dark Heavy Buster Sword.
Hence, Xu Que chose to execute the "Dark Willow Limbo" which he had
just learnt, combined with the "Six Corporeal Forms" to keep his identity
concealed.
He didn’t expect that the explosive speed of the Dark Willow Limbo
would cause the Six Corporeal Form’s powers to increase by many
folds. Even without the amplification of power that came with the
Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations, he was able to finish off the five
Golden Core Staged Cultivators in one swift move.
It completely exceeded Xu Que’s imaginations!
"Who knew that these skills could be used this way. Looks like this ‘Dark
Willow Limbo’ is becoming more and more interesting!" He thought to
himself as a magnificent display of blood fireworks flashed past his
eyes.
Not too far away, Tang Xue Rou and Zhang Su Liang were stupefied.
When Xu Que activated "Dark Willow Limbo", they thought that he had
fled.
They didn’t expect Xu Que to advance instead of retreating.

Furthermore, he destroyed the entire opposition in one move.
Just one move caused the five Golden Core Stagers’ bodies to explode
into blood mists. Not a single ounce of flesh remained. This bloody
scene caused everyone a certain amount of distress.
In that moment, they felt the exact same way when Xu Que went to the
Celestial Sect to seek revenge. Their bodies started to tremble in fear.
"Senior… senior Zhang, I’m afraid that this man’s powers are on par
with that Xu Que guy!" One of the Celestial Sect disciples stated while
trembling.
Zhang Liang's face looking as dignified as ever, nodded gently, "Xu Que
previously borrowed a strange flame skill which allowed him to generate
insurmountable amounts of power. Today, this black robed man merely
depended on his ink-colored Buster Sword which made him equally
scary. These people are too powerful!"
"Don’t you guys feel that, this black robed man’s voice is familiar? Also,
I have this feeling that I’ve met him somewhere before." Tang Xue Rou
asked suspiciously.
Zhang Su Ling and the others paused for a moment before nodding,
"After hearing you mention that, his voice definitely sounds like Xu
Que’s."
"But there are so many people in this world and people with similar
voices are everywhere. Nothing strange about it."
"Yeah, you’re right!" Tang Xue Rou nodded gently and didn’t think about
it any further.
"Oh dear. My fellow Juniors, let’s go to other areas to search. Maybe we

can find the Star Miscanthus elsewhere." Zhang Su Liang looked away
as he let out a sigh before laughing awkwardly.
"Okay." The few others nodded and didn’t have any more opinions on
the matter.
They didn’t dare to return to that Star Miscanthus which they first laid
claims on after witnessing Xu Que’s prowess.
…
Xu Que snapped out of his thoughts. Seeing that Tang Xue Rou and the
others were leaving, he called out to them, "Hey, you guys, don’t you
want the Star Miscanthus?"
Tang Xue Rou and the others halted for a moment and turned their
backs in surprise. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
"Take it. I have many of these." Xu Que waved his palm. The Star
Miscanthus in his hands floated off and lan ded nicely on Zhang Su
Liang’s hand.
The few of them became even more astonished.
What’s happening? This black robed man spent quite some effort to
snatch the Star Miscanthus away. On top of that, he even killed five
Golden Core Stagers without batting an eyelid. And now he was so
ready to part with the Star Miscanthus. What is up with him?
"Why are you still standing there? Quickly keep it. If someone tries to
snatch it, you won’t be so fortunate to meet such a hero like me." Xu
Que said with his hands behind his back, his face had a profound and
mysterious look.

Zhang Su Liang and the others immediately reacted and were overjoyed.
This black robed man had actually helped them out. They clasped their
hands in gratitude, "Senior, thank you so much for helping out. We will
definitely remember your act of kindness in our hearts!"
The rest followed suit and thanked Xu Que profusely.
With their Cultivation Stage, they felt that they had to address Xu Que
as ‘Senior’ no matter how young he was. They had nothing to lose from
that!
"Oh yes, let me take this chance to ask. Does the Star Miscanthus really
contain starlight?" This time, Xu Que suddenly asked in curiosity.
Zhang Su Liang and the others were at a loss for words. They then
nodded, "Senior, we… we haven’t tried it before. But we’ve heard that
after burning the plant, starlight will sprout from it. But since the Star
Miscanthus is so valuable, I reckon that nobody has ever tried it before!"
"Oh!" Xu Que nodded as he stroked his chin and started to contemplate.
Zhang Su Liang and the rest looked at one another in dismay. They had
not quite grasped the erratic temper of this "Senior" and did not know
whether to stay or take their leave.
However, at the next moment, they were dumbfounded.
They witnessed Xu Que taking out a Star Miscanthus. He ignited a ray

of Fire Element spiritual Qi on his fingertip, which transformed into a
fiery flame as he proceeded to set the Star Miscanthus on fire.
86 A Miracle-Witnessing Momen
Chapter 86: A Miracle-Witnessing Moment
Is this guy… out of his mind? He actually burnt something as rare as the
Star Miscanthus!
Tang Xue Rou and the others had a huge change in their expressions.
"Senior, don’t!" Tang Xue Rou screamed out in sho ck. How could he
bear to burn such a precious and rare plant. It was akin to wasting
natural resources!
Not only was the Star Miscanthus a crucial medicinal grass used for the
second stage of the Contest Area, it was also extremely scarce in all of
the Five Nations. Although only the people of Sky Incense Valley knew
how to refine it, its worth was infinitely undeniable everywhere.
It was rumored that a single Star Miscanthus could fetch at least

500,000 Spirit Stones in black market auctions!
Instead, Xu Que had set the Star Miscanthus ablaze with a bunch of
flames in his hand.
"Chi!" In a flash, strands of sparks started to splash outwards. Akin to

countless tiny and resplendent bits of starlight, the sparks emerged from
his hand. Then, the sparks spilt upwards, similar to a fountain!
Tang Xue Rou and the others were dumbfounded. Firstly, at the fact that
Xu Que had burnt the Star Miscanthus. Secondly, at the scene of the
Star Miscanthus burning up and emitting starlight. It was indeed
beautiful!
"Damn, isn’t this similar to fireworks which the kids used to play with
during the New Year?"
Xu Que looked upon the light emerging from his hands and became
joyful. There are indeed so many types of magical medicine grasses in
this World of Cultivators. Also, this light seemed more beautiful than the
"fireworks" they have on Earth. Looked pretty fun…
He waved his hand and a golden colored "fireworks" formed a line in

mid-air. It remained there for a good while before gradually dissipating
and landing on the ground. It then left a faint lasting glow, which left
Tang Xue Rou and the others in awe!
After a while, the golden light finally disappeared in its entirety.
And so, in the hands of Xu Que, the precious Star Miscanthus had
dissolved into ashes and drifted away with the wind!

The reward is 40 act tough points!" The system beep sounded in Xu
Que’s head.
"Wait!" Xu Que suddenly came into realization and became excited

shortly after, "I, the Act Tough King, seem to... have found out a better,
new and refined way to act tough!"
"Ha ha ha! I've struck it rich this time!" Xu Que laughed out loudly.
Without even saying his goodbyes to Tang Xue Rou and the rest, he
quickly left into the distance.
Zhang Su Liang and the others were left with a curious expressions.
When Xu Que’s figure finally disappeared from their eyes, they looked at
one another in dismay and immediately let out an awkward laugh.
That "Senior" is indeed an oddball!
Only Tang Xue Rou’s eyes were filled with a tinge of suspicion. This
black robed man looked very familiar to her but she could not recall
where she had met him before.
...
Moments later, far at the other side of the mountain valley, several
Cultivators were overwrought with finding the Star Miscanthus.
"After so long, we still can't find the Star Miscanthus. Could it be that we
really have no fate with the Sky Incense Valley?"
"Blame it on our bad luck."
"No. It’s mainly due to the fact that the Star Miscan thus was extremely
rare. Although this valley is vast, it's impossible that many of them exist
here. I reckon that most of them had been found by the others already."
"Sigh, let's rest for a bit. We’ll split up and look for it again later."
The few people sighed and shook their heads in frustration.
At this time, a black robed figure appeared not too far in the distance.
The few people were overjoyed upon seeing him.
"Hey, look, isn't that the guy who wanted to take on the second stage
alone?"
"Haha!!! Look at him rushing around. I bet he's dumbstruck about not
finding the Star Miscanthus."
"We still have at least five more hours. I'm afraid that lad would only
have around half an hour left."
"Haha! I'm gonna laugh to death. He still had the guts to scold us at the
valley entrance. Let's go and stall him and waste his time."
"You're right. I want to see if he still can stay this arrogant with his
current state!"
Finishing their conversation, the few people merged into the shadows
and rushed towards Xu Que’s direction.
"Lad, are you trying to find the Star Miscanthus? Beg us. Wait, even if
you beg us, we won’t give it to you. Hahaha!" The few people stood
behind Xu Que and said mockingly.
Upon hearing that, Xu Que became overjoyed. He stopped, turned

around, and asked, "Do you guys believe that the Star Miscanthus really
contains starlight?"
"Huh?"
The few men became stunned and they were all stumped.
Starlight in the Star Miscanthus? What does it mean?

"Is this kid out of his mind?"
"Looks like he suffered a mental blow from not being able to find the
Star Miscanthus and caused his mind to be in disorder. Hahaha!"
"Lad, you should get out of here. You don’t suit this place.".
The few man laughed at the misfortune they found him in.
Xu Que smirked. Nodding his head, he started to laugh, "My apologies.

I’ve already found the Star Miscanthus. Do you wanna see? Look, let me
show you. One... Two... Wow... Three ... Four..."
Looking at Xu Que tossing out the Star Miscanthus one by one, the few
Cultivators were dumbfounded. Their faces were filled with astonishment
and their mouth almost dropped to the ground from surprise.
"How… how is this possible?"
"Ten of them. Oh my god!"
"What kind of luck does this lad have?"
"But he’s only been inside here for around 30 minutes. How is it possible
to obtain so many Star Miscanthus?" They were bewildered.
Xu Que waved his hand and laughed, "Stop guessing already. With your
low intelligence, you wouldn’t have guessed where I got the Star
Miscanthus from even on your deathbed. It all started from when I was
in the toilet. But nevermind about that. What’s more important is that, I
am going to prove to you one thing today!"
"Prove… Prove what?" Their faces were filled with confusion.
"That… There’re starlight in the Star Miscanthus!"
"What’s that? What the hell are you talking about?" The few of them
grew impatient and glared at the few Star Miscanthus Xu Que was
holding. Their eyes were filled with greed.
Xu Que’s mouth looked like it was holding back a smile. He waved his
black robe and took a posture similar to a magician. He then pointed out
his finger.
"Ba-dum!" Flames started to appear on his finger tip.
"Next up, it’s time to witness a miracle!"
Finishing his opener, the flame on Xu Que’s finger started to erupt and
shot towards the ten Star Miscanthus!
"No!"
"What the hell! You have a serious problem!"
"Stop it!"
The Cultivators were shocked out of their wits. They screamed and ran
towards Xu Que.
However, the flames had already ignited the te n Star Miscanthus.
With a "rip" sound, a beautiful gold-coloured starlight started to blossom

from Xu Que’s palm!
"..." The Cultivators’ legs turned into jelly as they sat on the ground in
evident despair.
"Ten Star Miscanthus, a whole ten of them…"
"They’re gone just like that. They were burnt right in front of our eyes!"
"Ah!"
The few people who were initially burning with hope, turned into
hopeless individuals in a flash. They had taken a strong emotional blow.
They stared at Xu Que with malicious looking eyes and were on the
brink of turning crazy.


...
After hearing the system beep in his head, Xu Que’s nonchalant

expression turned into one filled with joy. He waved the ignited Star
Miscanthus in the air as if he was celebrating the New Year.
Facing the few Cultivators, he was thoroughly enjoying himself. The

golden "fireworks" formed countless bright streams and started to make
many different shapes.
He drew out the letter "S" before drawing out the letter "B" like a child.
The lines left a dazzling golden trail of what seemed like the letters "SB"
in front of the few Cultivators. After the first "SB" letters faded and
landed on the ground, another "SB" would start to light up.


In Xu Que’s head, sounds of the system beeps continued to echo!
87 Oh My God What Are You Doing

Chapter 87: Oh My God What Are You Doing
"Screw this guy! I wanna kill him so bad!"
"If I don’t kill him, the anger in my heart will never be quelled!"
The Golden Core Staged Cultivators glared at the overjoyed Xu Que.

They gritted their teeth as boundless killing intent started to well up in
their eyes.
"Swish!" The flames burning the ten Star Miscanthus on Xu Que’s hand
has faded. However, he was still feeling joyful and was too busy being
happy that he did not bother about the Golden Core Staged Cultivators
whose faces were filled with killing intent.
Just by spending 1 act tough point to get the ten medicine grasses, he
was able to earn 100 over act tough points by burning them. With such a
good return on investment, how could he not have done it? It is
definitely a must. Also, doing it once was not enough. He must do it a
few times more and take a chance in the Contest Area to earn
thousands more of act tough points!
Will it anger somebody to death? Hehe... as for this question, Xu Que

had not given a thought about it from the start.
"Hey, Brother Hua?" As this time, a few bodily figures could be seen not
too far in the distance. It was Zeng Fan Rong and the few Cultivators
from before and they were moving as a group.
When Xu Que looked over, he saw that their faces were filled with joy,
meaning that something good had happened to them. He clasped his
hands in greeting, "Brother Zeng, looks like you have completed the
mission?"
"Yes. Our lucks were sufficient. We happened to chance upon a Star

Miscanthus right behind a piece of a large boulder. We are just about to
leave this area. How about you?" Zeng Fan Rong nodded while smiling.
"Me? It was okay, nothing out of the ordinary!" Xu Que shrugged his
shoulders and replied indifferently.
Upon hearing that, the few Golden Core Staged Cultivators who were
seated at the side almost gave him a thorough scolding. He had just
burnt ten Star Miscanthus and here he was saying "It was okay, nothing
out of the ordinary"?
Damn your "It was okay". Screw your "Nothing out of the ordinary"!
If not for the arrival of Xu Que’s friends, they would have charged and
fought to death with Xu Que!
However, apart from Zeng Fan Rong, the rest of the group weren’t too
fond of Xu Que as well.
Although they had witnessed Xu Que’s strength, the current stage tests
one’s Luck. Since he did not look overjoyed, they guessed that he must
have been unable to find the Star Miscanthus. They were gloating at his
misfortune deep in their hearts.
So what if he was strong? His luck was not as good as theirs!
However, they only dared to laugh at him in their hearts. They were
merely thinking that way to make themselves happy but dared not put
such words across to him.
With Xue Que looking indifferent, Zeng Fan Rong too assumed that he
couldn’t find anything. However, he remained tactful and didn’t ask
anything about it. When he looked down, he saw that the ground was
filled with faint gold coloured marks and was bewildered.
"Hey, Brother Hua, what’s that on the ground?" He pointed at the

several "SB" marks on the ground and asked.
Xu Que took a glance, and casually replied, "Oh, that’s the emblem of
our Heaven Explosion Faction. What about it, does it look dashing?"
Zeng Fan Rong was baffled. He didn’t know which part of the emblem
was dashing. He then changed the topic, "Brother Hua, how did you
carve those things on the ground? It’s even able to retain its golden -
coloured marks. Did you use some expensive material to do it?"
"Not at all. Do you wish to carve a few words to serve as memory?" Xu

Que asked.
Zeng Fan Rong waved his hands and laughed, "No need, no need."
The few Golden Core Stagers were on the brink of vo miting blood, "Not
expensive? Bullshit! Wait, this guy wants to carve more words? What
the hell? Don’t tell me he still has more Star Miscanthus on him?"
"Brother Hua, since you’ve already carved the Faction emblem, you
should add the Faction’s name. If not, when someone sees it, he may
not be able to understand what the symbol itself means!" At this time,
Zeng Fan Rong gave a thought and added.
"Oh yeah, your words have made me realize. I would have forgotten
about it if you hadn’t mentioned it." Xu Que’s eyes lit up. He then moved
his hand and reached out into his chest.
‘Screw you, damn fatty! Go carve your sister! Do you know what this guy
used to carve those words out? Please stop spouting crap!’
The few Golden Core Stagers leapt up from the ground and almost
wanted to reprimand Zeng Fan Rong.
However, they did not scold him in the end since they still had hopes of
getting a Star Miscanthus from Xu Que. With humbled faces, they asked
politely, "Friend, we had offended you previously. But please forgive us.
May we ask if… you have more Star Miscanthus?"
Xu Que nodded and replied, "I still have them! Why? Do you guys want
it?"
"Yes, yes!" The lot of them were elated and nodded profusely.
"Oh, if you wanted them, you should’ve told me earlier. But in any case,
I will not give it to you people." Xu Que threw their words back at them.
The few of them turned stiff.
Zeng Fan Rong immediately became astonished and looked towards Xu

Que in shock.
Xu Que then took out a big bunch of Star Miscanthus from his robes
causing everyone around to be stumped.
"Brother… Brother Hua, you… you have..." Zeng Fan Rong widened his
eyes and became speechless, overwhelmed with shock.
The other Cultivators by the side were stunned as well. All prior hope
they harboured previously vanished in an instant and they almost rolled
their eyes up and fainted.
How could this be? How can he have so many Star Miscanthus?
Did this lad kill others and snatch their Star Miscanthus?
The few people looked at Xu Que in horror. One o f them grabbed his
own chest tightly as if he was afraid of others knowing where he had
kept his Star Miscanthus.
Xu Que cast them a furtive glance as he ignored the shocked looks of

the Golden Core Stagers. Lifting his finger, he concentrated and flames
started to appear on his fingertip.
"Friend!"
"Please have mercy on the grass, my friend!"

"Let’s talk things out! Don’t do it!"
With their hearts in their mouths, the Golden Core Stagers quickly
rushed forward.
"What are you guys doing?" Zeng Fan Ron g and the others were
surprised by their reactions. They thought that they wanted to snatch the
Qi grass away from Xu Que. They stood out and yelled at them.
With so many people on Xu Que’s side, the few Golden Core Stagers
never intended to lay a finger on him. Faces filled with anxiety, they
wanted to explain themselves and seek to be understood.
But when they saw the flames on Xu Que’s hand starting to crawl onto
the bunch of Star Miscanthus, their hearts broke into a million pieces.
They were speechless once more.
"Brother Hua, you and the others… Argh!!! Oh my god, Brother Hua!
What… What are you doing?" Zeng Fan Rong turned his head and
wanted to ask Xu Que about the situation. Instead, he saw Xu Que
setting the Star Miscanthus on fire. As a result, he was not able to keep
his calm and almost fell to the floor in shock.
The rest turned too and were flabbergasted.
Such a big bunch of Star Miscanthus. This lad… burnt… everything?

Why?
The next moment, they finally understood!
Holding onto the bunch of Star Miscanthus which looked like golden
lighted "fireworks", Xu Que faced it downwards and started to
flamboyantly sprinkle it.
Soon, before everybody’s flabbergasted faces, bold and vigorous gold

coloured looking characters appeared.
"Heaven Explosion Faction, awesome!"
"Heaven Explosion Faction, dominating!"
...
"Such good words!" Xu Que threw away the bunch of Star Miscanthus
which had turned into ashes and started to admire his own masterpiece!
At the same time, a chain of system beeps sounded in his head.




88 Travel With Brother Que Of The Heaven

Explosion Faction
Chapter 88: Travel With Brother Que Of The Heaven Explosion Faction
"Rumble!"
After blanking out for quite awhile, Zeng Fan Rong and the other
Cultivators snapped back to reality and barely managed to swallow their
saliva.
Looking at Xu Que again, it seemed like as if they were watching a
madman in action.
Burning the Star Miscanthus and using it as paint. Who in this world
would have done that except for lunatics?
Zeng Fan Rong realized that his suggestion for Xu Que to carve the
"Heaven Explosion Faction" was such a dire mistake!
With so many Star Miscanthus, if he took one and threw it on the

ground, it will definitely attract countless Cultivators. They might even
fight for it to the death!
And yet, this lad had just burnt a big bunch of them at once. Since the
"SB" symbol was already on the ground earlier, it was apparent that he
had already burnt the Star Miscanthus once or twice before.
"Brother Zeng, I still have something to do. I won’t chat further. I shall
take my leave first!"
At this time, Xu Que witnessed his own act tough points going up in a
whoosh. He started to believe that he was on the right track when it
came to acting tough. At this point, he didn’t wish to waste more time
and wanted to continue his streak elsewhere!
After saying his goodbyes to the still astonished Zeng Fan Rong and the
others, he executed the Lightning Haste , stepped on it and rushed into
the distance at a terrifying speed.
The other group of Golden Core Staged Cultivators couldn’t contain

themselves any longer and reacted. They hurriedly rode on their flying
swords and gave chase and started wailing, "Frien d, please spare us
one! Don’t burn it already! We beg you. Please?"
However, Xu Que did not stop and disappeared into the distance in a
blink of an eye.
A few moments later, he appeared at the east side of the mountain
valley. He went in front of several Cultivators and asked, "Let me tell
you all a secret. There’s starlight in the Star Miscanthus!"
He followed by taking out a bunch of them and burning it and left some
big characters on the ground. It wrote, "Travel with Brother Que of the
Heaven Explosion Faction", before taking off into the distance once
more.
A few minutes later, he appeared in front of another group.
Before long, most people throughout this mountain valley had already
seen Xu Que’s figure and his graffiti of characters:
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you really want to
live your life? Join the Heaven Explosion Faction!"
"Do you feel emptiness in your body? Join the Heaven Explosion
Faction!"
"Why did the 90 year old lady die harshly on the streets? Why do femal e
donkeys shriek in the middle of the night? Why do Sky Incense Valley
women keep having their undergarments stolen? Who was the culprit of
the pig raping case? Was it a ghost or was it human? Who has been
knocking on the old nun’s door every night? What was the secret behind
the deaths of the hundred over female dogs? The reason behind all
these happenings, is it due to the twisted nature of human nature or is it
the vanishing of human virtue? Please keep up with the Heaven
Explosion Faction for answers!"
"Heaven Explosion Faction: With both of my hands, I will fulfill your

dreams!"
"575088701, join the Heaven Explosion Faction. It starts from our

actions!"
…
Very quickly, the Cultivators in the mountain valley were all scared stiff.
Many people knew that Xu Que was taking on the second stage alone
but nobody thought that he would pass it. Most of them even thought
that he was a joke!
Therefore, when Xu Que went around and started to burn bunches and
bunches of Star Miscanthus and put up a graffiti in front of them, they
were all furious. It caused a ruckus, so much so that even different
smaller groups started to come together and followed him, all with the
aim of punishing him severely.
However, throughout the entire area, not a trace of Xu Que coul d be

found apart from his graffiti.
The ruckus became bigger and louder until it finally alarmed the Sky
Incense Valley.
Many of the disciples entered the mountain valley to investigate the

matter. After witnessing the golden-colored graffiti all over the ground,
they were almost scared to tears.
"Who could be so crazy and twisted?"
"This… this is such a waste of so many Star Miscanthus!"
"And it also mentioned our Sky Incense Valley?"
"Since when did anybody steal undergarments from our Sect? This is
too much!"
"Quickly report the happenings to the Elder. Also, we need to chase that
person down at all costs. We cannot let him burn any further!"
The Sky Incense Valley immediately mobilized countless of disciples to

carry out a large-scale investigation.
At the same time, one of the disciples rushed towards a stone house on
top of the mountain and reported what had happened to an elderly man,
who was of Infant Transformation Stage level 3.
The elderly man slammed the stone table in fury and asked wit h a voice
trembling out of anger, "How many of them did he burn?"
The disciple replied in a bitter tone, "We do not know how many exactly,
but it should be at least a hundred of them!"
"Absolutely disgraceful!" The elderly man’s roar sounded like echoing

thunder, which shook and caused the stone house to start breaking
apart.
"Elder, please calm down. We are already trying our best to chase down
that Hua Wu Que."
The elderly man spoke in a trembling voice, "One hundred… probably

more Star Miscanthus. That number was the entire year’s harvest of the
Sky Incense Valley! Why did he do something like this? Could it be that
one of you people bullied him and caused him to be unhappy?"
The disciple revealed an odd expression, "No. We heard that he wanted

to prove to others that when the Star Miscanthus burns, it would really
produce starlight!"
Elderly man, "..."
"Yes, and he used the burning Star Miscanthus and started carving
words everywhere. It was all advertising a Faction called the ‘Heaven
Explosion Faction’. He even left a few numbers. I suspect that there’s
some ploy at work!"
The elderly man asked bewilderedly, "What numbers?"
The Sky Incense Valley Disciple recalled and replied, "5750, 88701!"
"What does this mean?"
"I’ve not yet investigated enough. But I’ve heard that when somebody
asked him previously, he said that it was a QQ Group Number, but no
one understood it!" The Sky Incense Valley Disciple replied.
(TN : QQ refers to a Chinese instant messaging software called Tencent

QQ)
The elderly man went silent for quite a while and finally spoke out, "Pass
on my orders. Find that Hua Wu Que using every resource at our
disposal. When you’ve found him, invite him politely to leave the valley.
Remember, I said invite. If any of you provoke him and cause him to be
unhappy, all of you will be punished according to Sect rules!"
"Elder, this…"
"Still not going?"
"At once!"
After the disciple had left the stone house, a trace of glowing energy
emerged from both of the elderly man’s muddy eyes. He mu mbled to
himself:
"This child managed to get ahold of so many Star Miscanthus. It proves

that he is definitely someone with exuberant Luck. If he joins the Sky
Incense Valley, it would be the Sect’s blessing! Also, when the times
comes, the Water Nation Empress will bring the Sect’s disciples on a
training expedition in the seas. Someone with such exuberant Luck will
be very useful to her and the Sect. We absolutely must get him to join
us!"
...
At the same time, Xu Que was lying down to rest under a big tree. He
had been moving a lot in the past 30 minutes, having successfully burnt
over 200 Star Miscanthus and spending over 20 act tough points!
However, the system beeps in his head had been sounding unceasingly.




In his character interface, his act tough points had already broken the
1500 mark, and it was still continuing to soar along with the system
beeps!
The smile on Xu Que’s face was as brilliant as a sunflower!
"Look! Hua Wu Que is over there!"
"Surround him! Don’t let him escape!"
"This man is twisted! How dare he make waste of so many Star

Miscanthus. He has definitely infuriated everybody and must be
punished!"
"That’s right. Let’s move together and strip off his remaining Star
Miscanthus and rescue them from his grasp."
"This person had also written humiliating remarks about the Sky Incense
Valley. He is dead for sure. If we are able to kill him, the Sect will most
likely reward us!"
At this time, a din started to stir.

Xu Que snapped back to reality, sat back up and leaned on the tree
truck. He spotted several hundreds of Cultivators not too far off and they
were all flocking towards his direction while screaming their intentions to
kill.
A faint smile appeared on his face. He immediately entered the System

Store and asked, "System, do you sell any killer swords or killer skill
books? That is, those which would increase my attack powers after each
kill!"
89 It Must Look Magnificen
Chapter 89: It Must Look Magnificent

"Swish!" A white light flashed before his eyes and the System Store
immediately displayed two matching items.
One of the weapons from the League of Legends, Three-Star ranked.

Commonly referred to as: Killing Blade. Increases additional attribute for
host. For every enemy killed, host will gain power!
Attack Power+10
The only Passive Skill: For every kill of an enemy from the same
Cultivation Stage, one Glory will be acquired. For every kill of an enemy
of a higher Cultivation Stage, two levels of Glory will be acquired. Every
Glory doubles the host’s Attack Power. Maximum Glory is 30. Every time
the wielder is injured, Glory will fall by 1.
One of the equipments from the League of Legends, Four-Star ranked.

Commonly referred to as: Killer Book. Increases additional attribute for
host. For every enemy killed, host will gain Core Energy!
Skill Power+20
The only Passive Skill: For every kill of an enemy from the same
Cultivation Stage, one Glory will be acquired. For every kill of an enemy
of a higher Cultivation Stage, two levels of Glory will be acquired. Every
Glory doubles the host’s Skill Power. Maximum Glory is 30. Every time
the wielder is injured, Glory will fall b y 1.
"Damn, why is the Killer Book so expensive?" Xu Que was stunned.
The equipments’ functions both served to increase one’s power through

killing. However, the Killer Book was classified as a Four-Star ranked
equipment by the system and the Killing Blade was just at Three -Star
rank.
However, after looking closely, Xu Que understood that there was a

difference.
The Killing Blade increased one’s Attack Power while the Killer Book
increased one’s Skill Power. These two were very different!
In the game, it was designed such that there was a balance between
Physical Attack Power and Magic Power. However, in this world of
Immortals, Skill Power takes the top spot. No matter how strong your
fists were, they would be incomparable to various powerful Skills.
Of course, unless one’s flesh body is that of a Sage’s, he could make

use of the physical Attack Power to create miracles with his fists.
Up until now, Xu Que had basically no skills which affected his flesh
body. However, the impact caused by his Dark Heavy Buster Sword was
based on his Attack Power. Regardless of whether it was the "Flame-
Devouring Wave" or the "Six Corporeal Forms", although they made use
of his Core Energy, but the explosive aftereffects which served as the
killing blow was attributed to his explosive Attack Power.
If he managed to increase the Killing Blade to full Glory, it would be
equivalent to having 30 times the Attack Power.
Assuming that he had activated the Soaring Dragon Nine

Transformations, if the system added up the total attribute increase, it
would reach 39 times the Attack Power.
However, if the system calculated the values in succession, then the

Attack Power increase would be frightening. 30 times 9. Hehehe... it
would total up to 270 times the Attack Power. Even for the ones who
had reached the pinnacle of the Infant Transformation Stage, Xu Que
would be able to make mincemeat them with a hit of his Dark Heavy
Buster sword.
However, regarding this question, when Xu Que asked t he system, it

merely answered, "Not able to calculate. Host is required to test it out
himself!"
Xu Que’s eyelids immediately jumped, "Damn… could I have found a

System Bug? If it turns out to be 270 times, I will become invincible. I
can walk down the path of breaking any Skills in one hit."
"The system will never have a Bug. Host, rest assured and continue to
act tough!" The system answered.
Xu Que slanted his lips and focused his attention on the Killer Book.
Compared to the Killing Blade, he felt that the Killer Book was more
suited for him. After all, in this world of Immortals, he was personally
more inclined to train his Skills than other attributes.
If the Killer Book reached maximum Glory, his Skill Power would be
increased by 30 times.
This 30 times was extremely terrifying. When he was at the Core

Bearing Stage and released the Buddha’s Fiery Lotus, it was enough to
put Zhang Dan Shan of the Infant Transformation Stage in a difficult
spot. If at that time, he had a Killer Book with maximum glory, he
reckoned that Zhang Dan Shan would not be in just a difficult spot
anymore. Maybe he would have been blown apart and would have
become a half disabled being!
Of course, these two equipments looked awesome. However, the

restriction was rather severe as well. For every time that Xu Que was
injured by enemies, one level will be taken off immediately.
The word "injured", was actually a giant loophole.
Even a slight wound would be counted as being injured. During combat,

even if it was just a light bump or getting scraped on his skin, it would
be counted as being injured, the levels would drop substantially.
Therefore, Xu Que was uninterested in the Killer Book at this point. With
his current capabilities, buying the Killer Book would be too much for
him to handle, since he would have to avoid even being scratched.
However, the most important factor was that he was too poor. 1200 act
tough points was too expensive!
"System, let me exchange for the Killing Blade! Hehe, I shall see how
many times it will increase my Attack Power."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully exchanging for

the ‘Blade of the Occult’, consumed 260 act tough points!"
"Woosh!" A white light flashed in front of his eyes. A short dagger then
appeared within the system’s inventory. Its blade was greenish in
colour, as if it was coated in dripping venom!
"Hua Wu Que, you better obediently hand over the Star Miscanthus. If
not, don’t blame us for being ruthless!"
"Today, we will answer the call of justice. You’d better cooperate. If not,
you’ll have to bear the consequences and nobody will be able to save
you."
"You’d better be clear of what situation you are in. You have nowhere to
run. We will give you 3 breaths’ time to consider and hand over the Star
Miscanthus and then kneel down to apologize to us. We will spare your
life after!"
At the same time, hundreds of Cultivators had already flocked over like
gushing water. They completely surrounded the big tree where Xu Que
was perched atop. He suddenly felt like he was surrounded by an entire
city of troops!
However, none of the Cultivators from the group dared to initiate an

attack. They weren’t restraining themselves, neither were they are trying
to act tough. They were afraid that when they started rushing towards
Xu Que, he will burn the Star Miscanthus.
In their eyes, Xu Que’s life was much less important than the Star
Miscanthus.
"Oh, there are so many people here! I dare to bet that none of you in
this crowd have found the Star Miscanthus yet? Not bad, not bad. You
people have rather thick skins, wanting to rob me under the name of
justice. Hahaha!!! I, Hua Wu Que have walked the seas and lakes but
have never witnessed such situation. I admire the courage of you
people!" Xu Que laughed carefreely. He seem ed to not fear death and
his calm and collected appearance meant that he was acting tough
extremely well!
However, everybody had apathetic faces and stared at him coldly.
In the eyes of all the Cultivators, Xu Que, who was surrounded by the
hundreds, was completely trapped and had no chance of escaping.
Whether Xu Que would live or die was entirely up to them!
One of them shook his head and said, "Hua Wu Que, you’re already at
this juncture. Why do you still speak this way?"
"You have only two choices now. Hand over the Star Miscanthus or
allow us to personally find them from your corpse after we’ve killed you."
"We’re now giving you time to consider on the account that you are not
very well trained. You’d better treasure it and not blame us for being
ruthless later on."
Everyone looked dignified and persuaded Xu Que sternly.
Xu Que shook his head, and laughed loudly, "Alright, you all want the
Star Miscanthus? Let me count how many of you are there… forget it, I
shan’t count. No matter how many of you are there, I don’t think that
there are more than 300 of you? That’s just nice, I have 300 stalks of
Star Miscanthus with me!"
Finishing his sentence, Xu Que reacted immediately and spent several

act tough points to purchase 300 Star Miscanthus from the system store.
He then flipped over his wrist.
Woosh!
An entire bunch of 300 Star Miscanthus was immediately enveloped by

his Core Energy and floated in mid-air.
The entire scene turned silent to the point where a needle drop could be
heard!
Star Miscanthus… 300 stalks of Star Miscanthus!
Everyone felt like they were in a dream. Their eyeballs almost popped
out from their sockets, throats started to feel rough and a single word
couldn’t leave their their mouths.
With these many people, even after sear ching for six hours, none of
them could find the rare and coveted Star Miscanthus.
And Xue Que, who went into the mountain valley alone, had managed to
find so many Star Miscanthus in less than an hour. It was hard for them
to believe or accept!
"Hua Wu Que. You are tactful. Quick, drop the Star Miscanthus!"
"We promise not to hurt you a single bit and we would even keep you
safe ‘till you leave the valley. Other Cultivators will not be able to find
you for trouble."
"That’s right. As for the humiliating words you have written about the
Sky Incense Valley, if you give us the Star Miscanthus, we can consider
helping you to ask the Sect for forgiveness."
"Quickly, don't waste any more time. There are limits to our patience."
Everybody urged him impatiently.
Xu Que smirked and squinted his eyes. He let out a brilliant smile,
"Have you all seen how it looks like to have 300 stalks of Star
Miscanthus burning together? Neither have I, but I believe… that it must
look magnificent!"
After hearing, as if suddenly realizing what was going to happen, they

all started to become frantic. The entire atmosphere was filled with
shock and fear!
"Stop it!"
"Hua Wu Que, what are you doing?"
"I advise that you learn from your mistake. If not, we will make your life
a living hell!"
Everybody was roaring in anger and astonishment. Some of them

couldn’t take it anymore and immediately rode on their flying swords and
hovered into the air as they advanced towards Xu Que with extreme
speed.
However, Xu Que only needed to lightly wave his hand.

"Boom!"
The Core Energy which was shrouding around the 300 stalks of Star
Miscanthus immediately turned into Fire Element spiritual Qi. Before the
eyes of hundreds of Cultivators, the Qi turned into a ball of raging blaze
and ignited the entire sea of Star Miscanthus!
"No!!!" Countless roars of rage and anger filled the air and immediately
echoed throughout the entire mountain valley!
90 Everyone Here Is Trash!
Chapter 90: Everyone Here Is Trash!

"Boom!"
A majestic display of fire exuded out like an opening of a volcano and

swallowed all 300 stalks of Star Miscanthus.
Numerous golden sparks and flames bursted out from the Star
Miscanthus and resembled an amazing display of fireworks which
lingered in the air. After fusing with the air around, the explosion had a
red and golden tinge which resembled the magnificent sun, burning
forever. This caused many Cultivators present to watch in awe.
Throughout their entire lives, they wouldn’t ever be able to see such a
spectacular display of fireworks.
300 stalks of Star Miscanthus were burning brightly as Xu Que held

them up. Committing such an act was akin to committing a terrible sin
which nobody throughout the cultivation realm had ever done. Sky
Incense Valley had the reputation of being one of the top 3 sects within
the entire five nations. They too wouldn't tolerate such behavior.
It was said that Xu Que was plundering from the heavens, offending the
gods and wasting precious treasure by burning and vandalizing the
valley earlier .
After burning 300 stalks of Star Miscanthus, it was clear to everyone

that he was just insane and lacking in morals.
When the several hundred cultivators saw such a sight, many couldn't
help tearing up.
Even though those stalks of Star Miscanthus didn't belong to them, they
still felt their hearts aching. It was akin to having a thousand swords
stab through their hearts.
300 stalks of Star Miscanthus. If every single stalk costs at least

500,000 low grade spirit stones, 300 stalks would be 1,500,000,000
worth of spirit stones!
This was an amount so huge, it would cause many cultivators to vomit

blood.
But to Xu Que, the worth of these Star Miscanthus was no more than a
mere 30 act tough points. Just a single sentence from him would be
enough to cover the costs.
It was extremely fortunate that Xu Que didn’t know the actual v alue of
the Star Miscanthus. If not, he would have another annoying way of
acting tough. He would equate his words to money. Whenever anyone
taunted him, his first response would be, "I am your grandfather and
every sentence which leaves my lips are worth 1,500,000,000 spirit
stones. You better not speak to me, for I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able
to afford my words. Now that I’ve already spoken so much, that would
mean you owe me 3,000,000,000 spirit stones. Pay up now!"
...
"Heaven Explosion Faction, that’s the way it is! Hua Wu Que does
whatever he likes!" Xu Que waved the entire bunch of Star Miscanthus
in his hands and wrote those words on the ground. Every single stroke
was much thicker and bigger than the words he wrote previously. The
words he wrote were so huge that even the heavens would be able to
read the words."

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for his superb acting tough
skills. An additional reward of 100 act tough points are being rewarded."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough, for
successfully fleeing after acting tough, for three consecutive superb
acting tough performances and for earning the title of ‘Acting Tough
Bastard’. This rank would enable a 10% discount off for the items in the
system stall!"
Damn!
Xu Que opened his eyes wide, clearly offended. "No. You are the act
tough bastard. Your entire family are act tough bastards. I am clearly
the act tough king. No, hang on. I should at least be an act tough saint
right?"
"..." The system didn’t respond.
To offend someone was an art as well. But that aside, the system gave
him a 10% discount off for items which caused Xu Que no small amo unt
of excitement.
Although a 10% discount wasn’t considered much, if he were to

accumulate higher ranks and more titles in the future, he could probably
attain a 90% storewide discount, right?
Xu Que sighed. His noble and magnanimous career of acting tough was
becoming more and more important.
At the same time, the hundred over cultivators had sank into frenzy.
Many of them had their eyes wide open as their eye whites were filled
with red bulging blood vessels. They glared at Xu Que ferociously as if
he had just killed their fathers. That atmosphere of fierce killing intent
was almost palpable as it radiated all around.
To them, the three hundred Star Miscanthus were the key to joining Sky
Incense Valley and the way to achieve greatness.
And yet Xu Que had burned all their hopes in fiery flames. It was almost
akin to burning and destroying all their futures and their hopes. To them,
this was extremely offensive and something which they wouldn’t ever
forgive or forget in their lifetimes! It was a direct attack on them!
"Hua Wu Que, I’ve made a vow deep in my heart. I will hunt you and kill
you to the ends of the world and destroy you to the extent that you could
never attain reincarnation!"
"Even if immortals were to show up at this point, they wouldn’ t ever be

able to rescue you."
"Nobody under the heavens is capable of saving you!"
"Our decision to kill you is firm and unwavering!"
"Hand your life over!"
Before long, shouts of anger rang out from the crowd below. Several
hundred of cultivators started conjuring spells as they condensed their
core energy. With so many of them summoning their core energy, it
caused the entire valley to tremble.
Although their cultivation levels were from the Core Bearing Stage to the
Original Infant Stage, with so many of them present, it caused a
terrifying pressure to form. Even the ground started cracking up as if the
end of the world had come.
Xu Que cleared his throat as he stood up on the branches of the tree.
His hands were behind his back in a dignified and solemn manner. It
was as if he wouldn’t be moved even if mountains were to crumble
before him.
"System, bring me my Killer Blade and Spirit Visage. My blade has been
thirsting for blood!" Xu Que raised a hand, as a white light formed on his
outstretched palm. The mystical blade appeared in his hands. At the
same time, a green flash of light surrounded his torso, causing the Spirit
Visage to clothe him like an armor, preparing him for battle.
With all these cultivators in front of him conjuring their power s, Xu Que
was unfazed. In fact, he seemed to be quietly glad.
His blood and Qi were circulating furiously within his body as killing
intent emanated from his body. The long black robe was flapping about
in the wind, making a rustling sound.
"Boom!""Boom!""Ba-boom!"
In that instant, several hundreds of fire spells were conjured, emanating

threatening waves of heat as they surrounded Xu Que.
He had offended the entire mob of cultivators. The result of getting

offended would be extremely costly for these cultivators.
"Bam!"
All their spells combined together and formed a single powerful spell as
it exploded out towards Xu Que.
The entire tree which Xu Que was standing on immediately vapourized

into smoke and ashes as it was engulfed in flames. Even the ground
which the tree stood on caved in, forming a huge crater. Dust and
smoke flew in all directions, making it impossible to see through. It was
indeed as if heaven itself had struck.
All the cultivators exhaled deeply and sighed out as if their anger had
finally been vented and revenge had been taken.
"Hmp! Stupid prick. You deserved to die!"
"I watched extremely closely and saw that he couldn’t avoid our spells.
His entire body absorbed the full impact of it. He’s definitely dead!"
"Hehe… with such a massive assault, even if he could teleport straight

away, he wouldn’t have been able to avoid it."
"Now that we’ve killed him, our thirst for revenge has been quenched."
"Hua Wu Que no longer exist in this world! Hahahah!"
Everyone broke out into crazed laughter as if they were still trying to
vent out the deep seated anger deep within their hearts.
As the dust and smoke gradually settled down, the visibility of the area
started to improve. In the distance, a single unmoving shadow could be
spotted. He was standing still, unaffected. His black robes were still
flapping in the wind as immense killing intent radiated out from him,
causing the entire area to quake violently.
"Wng!" The ear piercing whistle of a sword slashing through the air
could be heard, interrupting their laughter. The screech was so loud that
it caused everyone’s ear drum to hurt.
Everyone present froze in shock. Their maniacal laughters were still

etched on their faces but no sound was emitted. Their throats almost felt
like a large hand was squeezing tightly around it which made it hard for
them to breathe and even harder for them to make any sound.
Xu Que was completely unaffected by the blast. The Spirit Visage armor
which had costed him 500 act tough points exhibited such horrif ying
effectiveness.
The extremely high magic resistance on the armor deflected the blast
effortlessly. Xu Que didn’t even have to do anything to block the several
hundred cultivators’ combined effort.
Everyone revealed expressions of extreme shock. Xu Qu e swept some

dust away from his robes as he blew some dust off his shoulder. He
then clutched his Killer Blade and walked over slowly.
He shook his head as he spoke, "In all honesty, I never had ill intentions
for you. But now, I can’t help myself but to say that everyone here is
nothing but mere rubbish! I stood still and allowed you to attack me but
you failed miserably. What’s the point of letting you live as such
failures?"



"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully putting on a

superb act tough performance. The additional reward is 90 act tough
points!"
91 Full Glory Killing Blade
Chapter 91: Full Glory Killing Blade

Xu Que didn't turn to dust and ashes from the combined attack. He
didn't die from it. In fact, not a single scratch could be found on his
body.
As soon as the dust settled down, his features and build started
becoming clear to the rest of the people around.
The phrase "What's the point of letting such trash live" rang out in their
minds like thunder. It shocked all of them into oblivion. At the next
moment, a strong sense of fear was struck in all of their hearts.
"Impossible. That’s impossible!"
"I clearly saw him being hit by the spell! How could he not have
sustained any damage!?"
"It must be an illusory spell. He must’ve used an illusory spell to t rick us.
Everyone! Quick, do not let him live!"
Many people within the crowd were unable to handle such an intense
fear in their hearts as they started screaming out to attack him once
more.
"Ke-chi!" Someone conjured a flaming spell and shaped it into a flaming

bird and it flew towards Xu Que.
Xu Que was full of smiles. He looked at the flaming ember as it charged

down mercilessly towards him.
With a loud crack, a burst of fire smashed down onto his chest. At that
very moment, his breastplate gleamed brightly, as it completed
withstood the onslaught of flames. In fact, it even scattered the flame
and took no damage from it. It was as if a strong wave had smashed into
a large boulder, losing all its strength without even scratching the
boulder.
"My turn!" An Original Infant Stage cultivator cleared his throat before
shouting out. He then conjured his weapon, a sword coming out from his
mouth.
As he spat out the sword, it transformed into a sharp long sword and
flew towards Xu Que with unimaginable speed .
"Dang!" A dull echo sounded out as the enchanted sword collided into
Xu Que’s body and fell to the ground. It lost its magical aura
immediately and looked nothing more than a scrap metal.
Xu Que was still moving towards them, undeterred.
He clutched onto his sword, his black robes flapping in the wind as he
emanated a strong, crushing killing intent.
"We can't kill him! He’s unkillable!"
"Run!"
"He's a demon. The armor he's wearing is some demonic treasure which
we can't break past!"
At that same time, all the cultivators around were shocked and went into
a frenzy. They watched on hopelessly as Xu Que continued moving
towards them, unimpeded by anything they used against him. One by
one, they realized his power and started scattering. A few of them even
conjured their flying swords in a bid to escape.
However, there were far too many of them to make a clean escape.
Those of them who wished to run away were being blocked by the vast
magnitude of people. It was a human congestion and everything turned
to chaos. Several people of lower cultivation levels were pushed down
to the ground in the pandemonium and were trampled on to death.
"Don't run away! I promise you, I will only kill thirty of you and that would
be enough for me!" Xu Que's maniacal laughter rang out as he rode his
lightning bolt and moved with the wind.


The reward is 50 act tough points!’
...
Boom!
Lightning bolts weaved beneath his feet as the rumbling sound of his
movement could be heard. Xu Que charged right into the mass of
people.
His Killer Blade was gripped tightly by him like a dagger as he slashed
down swiftly, slitting the throats of several cultivators effortlessly.
"Chi!" Instantly, several people lost their lives.
"Ding! Since host ‘Xu Que’ has yet to overcome the 49 Heavenly
Tribulations, the experience points will be kept in the experience pool
until he has crossed over to the Original Infant Stage after overcoming
the tribulation!"
"Ding! Blade of the Occult has successfully obtained 4 levels of Glory.

The current strength boost is: 4x!"
Xu Que didn't stop at all. His lips curled into a smile as he moved on.
He discovered that with each person killed, his Killer Blade became
sharper and more deadly. At the same time, he felt a strange and
powerful sensation creeping up from the hilt of the blade to his hands
and into his body. The sensation felt similar to the powers in his body
whenever he activated the fourth form of the Soaring Dragons Nine
Transformation.
The only difference was that he hadn't activated that spell and yet he
could feel so much power!
All he had relied on was the Lightning Haste spell, the Killer’s Blade and
an impenetrable armor. That was enough to ma ke him unparalleled.
If there’s an Infant Transformation Stage present, Xu Que wouldn't have

been this arrogant and take so much risk.
However, most people there were of the Golden Core Stage. In fact,
there were very few cultivators of the Original Infa nt Stage. Out of the
several hundred cultivators around, there were no more than 10 of the
Original Infant Stage.
Additionally, they had lost their will to fight at this point. Each one of
them were scrambling to flee. Nobody had thought of fighting back.
Hence, Xu Que just massacred the entire group of them effortlessly,

without speaking.
…
"Ding! Blade of the Occult has successfully obtained 10 levels of Glory.

Staged cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience points!"

...
The system rang out continuously within his head. With each kill, the
subsequent kill became easier and faster.
When he had already accumulated up to level ten, he would then turn

his attention towards the Original Infant Stage cultivators. At this point,
he could kill a person in under a second.
Afterall, he was at the full foundation of the Golden Core Stage. Added
to the fact that he had five spiritual roots which made him nearly
invincible.
With such foundations along with his Lightning Haste spell and the
added ten times increase in strength, no Original Infant Stage cultivator
was a match for his sword.
The more Xu Que killed, the easier it became for him. Although he
hadn't cultivated any dagger skills or dagger wielding spells, he killed
them all effortlessly.
The entire swarm of people were starting to thin out as Xu Que ran his
blade through. Apart from the few who had fallen and was trampled on,
everyone else who died was the result of Xu Que.
As for those people who deserved to die, Xu Que was never one to turn
soft and show mercy. Neither did he feel like he was being cruel.
Because if he didn't have the system, he might've been one of those
people in the crowd being slaughtered.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for ki lling an Original Infant

...
"Ding! Blade of the Occult has successfully obtained 30 level of Glory.

"Ding! Blade of the Occult has successfully obtained 3 0 level of Glory.

"Ding! Blade of the Occult has successfully obtained 30 level of Glory.

...
His Killer Sword had long reached the 30th level as the messages from
the system rang out repeatedly. However, Xu Que didn't stop killing.
One of the dying cultivators shouted out in fear, "You clearly said you'd
only kill thirty people. You've already killed more than thirty at this
point!"
Xu Que laughed coldly, "Sorry, but you are not people. All of you are
scums! All of you scums put together won’t even amount to a single
person." As he finished speaking, he ran his blade across the person’s
neck as blood spurted all over the place!
"Xiu! Xiu!" Several rays of light appeared within t he sky.
Everyone looked up curiously.
Someone from within the crowd recognized their shadows and looked as
if they managed to clutch onto a life saving piece of straw. He then
shouted out in extreme happiness, "It’s our brothers and sisters from
Sky Incense Valley who’ve come! We’re saved! Haha! We’re saved!"
"Haha! Even if immortals came down from the heavens, they wouldn’t be
able to save any of you." Xu Que spoke out bluntly.
However, the entire group of people ignored his words and looked up to
the skies. They waved frantically to their redeemers and shouted out
happily.
"My brothers and sisters from Sky Incense Valley, come and save us!"
"Please come and do something to save us! We’re all innocent."
"This Hua Wu Que is a demon. He’s a crazed, mur dering demon."
"He’s a bloodthirsty and vile demon with his unholy chestplate, which
made him immune to all the other spells. He then started killing us
indiscriminately."
"Please call the Sky Incense Valley Elders and suppress his evilness."
"That’s right! Evil will never triumph over good. Sky Incense Valley
Elders, please show us your mercy and magnanimity and save us from
the grasp of this evil doer. Show your hand and slay this demon here!"
All the cultivators were screaming out, begging for their lives as they
badmouthed Xu Que openly and without limits.
92 Hurry Give Him The Elite Entrance Order, We

Beg You!
Chapter 92: Hurry Give Him The Elite Entrance Order, We Beg You!
Xu Que squinted his eyes and raised his head to look at the few
shadows looming over. A certain coldness coupled with excitement
could be seen in his eyes.
If the Sky Incense Valley disciples wanted to interfere with this matter,
he had no qualms about killing them as well.
Even if there was an Infant Transformation Cultivator presiding over the

entire test area, Xu Que was the least afraid.
Although he knew that his full Glory killing blade might not be enough to
harm the Infant Transformation Stage cultivator, he was still extremely
confident of his own abilities.
After all, the difference in their cultivation levels were vast. He might not
even be able to break through the defenses of Infant Transformation
Stage cultivators.
Then again, so what if he couldn’t defeat them? This master here will
just act tough and speak rudely to everyone before activating his Divine
Escape Emblem. What’s there to be afraid of?
The ancient words were extremely wise. They said that if someone were
to be able to control himself and do the difficult thing in tough situations,
he would triumph over all else. As long as he could continue acting
tough, life would be full of meaning!
Xu Que was that benevolent and magnanimous!
The Sky Incense Valley disciples were moving past when they were
taken aback by the number of dead bodies lying around.
However, these Sky Incense Valley seemed to hide their shock very
well. Immediately after recovering from the initial scare, they regained
their calmness and acted as though it was a very ordinary sight.
Then, they hastily landed on the ground. Xu Que stopped in his

slaughter and laughed out while he asked, "Does Sky Incense Valley
wish to interfere in this matter? Truth be told, I won’t mind. It’s just more
people to kill for me."
The few Sky Incense Valley disciples paused in shock and opened their
mouths to speak. However, the entire group of cultivators who were
mercilessly hunted down just moments befor e roared out in anger at this
point.
"Outrageous! Who do you think you are to actually dare to speak this
way to our brothers and sisters of Sky Incense Valley?"
"Are you tired of living? Don’t think that with that impenetrable armor,
nobody can kill you. Let’s see how you’ll fare now that our brothers and
sisters of Sky Incense Valley are here!"
"There’s an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator presiding over this

test area. You’re doomed!"
"Should that Elder of Sky Incense Valley make an appearance, he would

crush your body with just a flick of his finger!"
...
The cultivators were trying to find someway to win some dignity back
after fleeing so wretchedly away from him. At this point, they were using
the prestige of Sky Incense Valley to their own benefits.
However, these disciples of Sky Incense Valley had strange looks on

their faces. They smiled meekly and shook their heads.
What joke was this?
Kill Hua Wu Que? We’re not that daring!
Several extremely gorgeous looking female disciples steppe d forward to

him. It was clear that these women were of the highest cultivation levels
within their sect and were women of authority.
They walked across gently with smiles etched across their faces and
stood beside Xu Que.
Soon after this happened, the entire group of cultivators were

completely stumped. Their mouths and eyes were gaping wide open as
they watched on. These female disciples bowed politely at Xu Que
before smiling coyly, "Young master Hua, you’ve already passed your
test. Our Elders have decided to personally award you the Elite
Entrance Order for you. From today onwards, you are a part of our Sky
Incense Valley. In fact, you can even choose an Elder who you can
inherit skills from."
The minute these words were spoken, everyone else looked on,
stupefied.
Passed the test? Based on what? This was only the second stage. He
hasn’t even passed through the third and fourth levels. What right did he
have to obtain the Elite Entrance Order?
Besides, he was murdering recklessly here in Sky Incense Valley.

Wasn’t he supposed to be subjected to investigation?
Everyone was full of envy and dissatisfaction. They clenched their fists
in apparent anger.
"Wasn’t there the third and fourth stages left?" Xu Que wondered to
himself. He had initially thought that these people were here to stop him.
He never would’ve expected to receive the Elite Entrance Order here by
them.
The female disciple batted her eyelids and smiled, "Don’t worry, young
master Hua. We have seen your might and powers. There’s no need t o
go through the last two stages."
"What farting noises are you making?" Xu Que shouted out revealing an
expression of utmost anger.
Everyone present was once again stumped by his outburst and were
irrevocably shocked.
What was happening?
Upon hearing such a piece of good news, wasn’t he supposed to be

ecstatic? What’s there to be angry about?
The dozen of Sky Incense Valley disciples were taken aback as well,
especially that female disciple who looked extremely afraid.
Their Elder had warned them in advance not to incur his wrath. If they
made him angry, they would be subjected to the punishments of the
sect.
She then hurriedly recalled the words she spoke earlier and realized
nothing she had said could’ve offended him! Why was he throwing a fit
now?
"Master… Master Hua. Please don’t be mad. If I had offended you in

anyway, please forgive me, will you?" That female disciple spoke out as
if just remembering the horrific punishments awaiting her. At this point,
her eyes started to tear up.
It wasn’t even that she was timid. At this point, she felt extremely
unjustified, having no idea of what she could’ve possibly said wrong.
Xu Que then gave a harrumph, his face still had anger etched all over,
"Doesn't Sky Incense Valley have any regards for the rul es at all? Being
a prestigious and one of the most powerful sect all throughout the five
nations, shouldn’t you be keeping to your rules? The rules were that a
candidate had to cross through the third level in order to be considered
for entry into the sect. Only after crossing through the fourth level would
he be bestowed an Elite Entrance Order. I’ve only just passed through
the second phase and you’ve already given me the Elite Entrance Order.
What do you think will happen if word of this gets out?"
"..." Everyone present widened their eyes in shock, their faces looked
extremely absurd with the sheer amount of confusion on their faces. It
was almost like question marks were forming over their heads.
Xu Que then continued scolding out, "All of you should sincerely reflect
upon your actions and tell me if this is in line with the rules and
customs. What would all these people here, who’ve been painstakingly
looking for the magical grass, think of me? They would probably think
that I pulled some strings and entered the sect through connections
instead of through my capabilities. This would clearly smirch my
reputation even before I’ve joined the Sky Incense Valley. It’s not that
I’m intentionally making things difficult but you have to maintain a
certain level of fairness in such an activity! Ai!" Xu Que exhaled deeply,
his expression was ashen as if he had just been offended grievously.


"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for superbly acting tough, even
leaving the system completely speechless. The reward is 500 act tough
points!"
"..." Everyone around was thrown into dead silence as they looked
blankly at Xu Que. They were only able to regain their senses after a
long time.
It was almost as if they had seen a ghost!
How could someone spew such words out of his mouth?
The entire group of cultivators who were chased down by Xu Que nearly
vomited blood.
Not far away, another group of cultivators who had already found the
Star Miscanthus but haven’t exited the stage, were watching from afar.
When they heard the offer presented to Xu Que, the y were indeed
extremely jealous of his good fortunes.
And yet after hearing Xu Que speak this way, they were all astounded
and fearful.
This bloke managed to pass the second level in such a defiant manner
and even killed so many people while doing so. If he were allowed to
enter the third level, that would be extremely dangerous for the rest of
us!
Please don’t! Please don’t allow him to enter the third level.
Just give him the Elite Entrance Order already. Please, we beg of you!
The Sky Incense Valley disciples wanted to cry so badly but no tears
would come. They never foresaw that someone could actually be angry
at such a situation. This was extremely unheard of.
"Master… Master Hua, you’re mistaken. Our Elder was just genuine and
eager for you to join the sect as soon as you could." The female disciple
was full of sweat as she tried to appease Xu Que and wrecked her
brains, trying to force a way out of the situation.
Xu Que waved his hands in disapproval, "Stop speaking anymore. For

fairness, for justice and for world peace, I will not accept this Elite
Entrance Order. I don’t wish for others to look at me through tinted
glasses. I just wish to be a normal, hard working person just like
everyone else. Is that too much to even ask for?"
The cultivators around him heard this, and almost blacked out.
Hua Wu Que, Grand Master Hua!
Can’t we all just kneel down to you right now? Please just accept this
Elite Entrance Order. We swear we won’t feel that it’s unfair. If you were
to accept it, everyone in this world would praise you for having strong
morals and convictions. Our future generations would also praise you for
having an outstanding character. You would be our role model
throughout the entire cultivation world!
The female disciples of Sky Incense Valley had bitter looks on their
faces as if they were caught up in a predicament and helplessness.
However, they still were true to their mission and had no choice but to
deal with such a situation. At this point, everyone tried to coax Xu Que.
Still, no matter what they said, Xu Que refused. He insisted on taking

the fair and just path and refused to accept any preferential treatment.
He insisted on being treated like the rest of them and wanted to have
fair competition with everyone else.
93 Xu Que’s Chosen Path
Chapter 93: Xu Que’s Chosen Path

At last, Xu Que’s wishes were finally granted to him. The few Sky
Incense Valley disciples pointed him in the direction of the third level
and warmly told him the rules and requirements to pass through this
level.
"Master Hua, once you enter the boundaries of the third level, you would
have to keep walking and moving on in order to pass through this level.
The boundaries of this test is within a multistoried trial pagoda called the
Tower of Souls. There are ten floors in this tower and there will be
strong crushing pressures in each level. This will increase exponentially
as the floor get higher. When you’ve reached a point where you can no
longer withstand the pressure, the Tower of Souls will automatically
expel you from it. At the same time, it will record your particulars and
results. The scores will be tallied and the top 100 participants in order of
merit will move on to the next phase."
"The record holders for this level were cultivators who managed to
withstand the pressures of the fourth floor. There were a total of five of
them. But based on our assessment of your strengths and capabilities,
the fourth level wouldn’t pose much of a challenge for you."
...
Hence, Xu Que’s sentiments about this being unfair were finally quelled
and he was appeased.
Wearing a broad smile across his face, he casted a glan ce at the

cultivators which he haven’t killed and laughed out, "Good. I shall cut to
the chase. When all of you mentioned that the only reason I could bully
you was because of this armor I’m wearing, it really hurt my feelings.
That’s because I never expected to be viewed as someone who had to
rely on items in order to be strong. Hence…"
He paused earnestly and removed the Spirit Visage armor from his body
to the astonished looks of everyone present. He then tossed it into his
system inventory before putting his full Gloried Killing Blade away.
"Hence, I don’t need such enhancement items. In fact, being a member

of the Heaven Explosion Faction, I am already wearing the dignity of my
faction as my armor. Today, I shall rely solely on my capabilities and
defeat all of you. Come, all of you should attack me together. None of
you have to worry about anyone intervening. If any of these Sky Incense
Valley disciples dare to meddle, I shall be the first one to annihilate
them."
When Xu Que finished speaking, the dozen of Sky Incense Valley

disciples were clearly upset.
And yet nobody dared to speak out in fear of offending him. In fact,
those very words which he just spoke out proved to all the Sky Incense
Valley disciples that this Hua Wu Que was anything but ord inary.
"Are you for real?"
"Are you sure you don’t need your armor and your dagger?"
Several cultivators looked convinced. They had thought that the only
reason they couldn’t overcome Xu Que was because of the Spirit Visage
armor he donned.
Now that Xu Que willingly took off his armor and even kept his weapon,
their blood started boiling with red hot vengeance once more!
Xu Que thumped his chest before pointing to the heavens, "I, Hua Wu
Que, swear to the heavens that when I’m fighting all of you, I shall not
use any weapons or protecting armor. If I were to go back on my words,
let me be overcome by my inner demons and die many times over. Are
you satisfied now?"
Xu Que’s words were spoken loudly, full of conviction and sincerity. He

was laughing deep down inside. However, "My name isn’t even Hua Wu
Que anyway!"
When the cultivators heard him speak, they couldn’t control their rage
any longer.
Swearing to the heavens with the threat of inner demons was extremely
potent. Once the vow was broken, he would instantly be overcome with
his own demons and die on the spot.
Such a vile and vicious oath would never be uttered by anyone for fear
of the immense and dire consequences.
To everyone around, Xu Que wasn’t a normal person. He was a lunatic!
The Sky Incense Valley never expected Xu Que to do something like

that and panicked on the spot. If Xu Que were to die, they would have
no way of accounting to their Elders.
A female disciple spoke out, "Master Hua, please don’t be impulsive.

There are no many of them. How can you…"
"Not another word. I have to finish this battle. If not, my inner demons
will swallow me whole." Xu Que spoke out as if he were on the verge of
life and death.

...
At the same time, the cultivators who had been chased by him earlier
were starting to move. They clutched their various weapons tightly as if
preparing for battle.
Apart from those group of people who managed to escape earlier and
those who had already been killed by Xu Que, there were only a
hundred or less people standing in front of him. However, such a
number was considered many to most people.
"Hua Wu Que… Hahaha! Since you’ve already sworn, let’s fight then! "
"I never expected you to be this cunning. To stake your own inner
demons as odds. Haha! You asked for this."
"And you even requested for all of us to attack you together. So if you
really die in battle today, please don’t blame us for going overboard f or
all these were your requests." A group of people started mocking Xu
Que and laughing out loudly.
The few Sky Incense Valley female disciples were extremely anxious as
they all tried to dissuade Xu Que. "Master Hua, please calm down.
There is still room for negotiation at this point."
"That’s right Master Hua. We all admit that your powers are
supernatural. But with so many people attacking at the same time, how
can you possibly hope to emerge victorious?"
"Let us help you out, Master Hua!"

Xu Que shook his head insistently as he shouted out, "There’s no need
to dissuade me. I, Hua Wu Que, am a man of my words. Since I said I
shan’t use my armor and my weapon, I won’t. I also said I won’t need
anyone to help me. Today, I shall fight it out to the last drop of blood
with this group of people. Only after bleeding and going through a tough
fight would I come out stronger." He spoke loudly and confidently, with
his tone as mighty as the rivers and mountains. He sounded as
steadfast and immovable as a thousand mountains as though not even
the strongest winds of this world could cause him to doubt himself.
At this moment, several disciples from Sky Incense Valley were

captivated by his resolute and unshakable nature. They looked at him
dazedly, their eyes were full of admiration.
It was extremely normal for women to fall in love with heroic figures. But
it seemed like not only the women were charmed by him. Everyone
seemed to have reached a sort of realization.
It’s no wonder! No wonder he’s so powerful. All of it came from the heart
of a hero and a warrior. He doesn't have a single shred of fear in his
heart. He’s not afraid of pain or death. Knowing that this was going to be
an impossible battle, he still chose to take it on with optimism and
fearlessness. He wanted to come out of this ordeal stronger!
So this is what heroes look like!
It seems like all of us have misunderstood him!
He’s not a lunatic. He’s just a determined and unwavering hero walking
along a path filled with difficulties.
Master Hua, we owe you an apology!
At the same time, everyone looked at the shadow casted by Xu Que.

Admiration and respect poured out from them as their faces were filled
with apologetic looks.


The reward is 70 act tough points!" The system rang out in his head as
Xu Que stood as still as a rock.
He looked on with a determined glance as the large group of cultivators

charged towards him. He stood as immovable and steadfast as the
tallest mountain. Not a hint of expression could be seen on his face.
The several female disciples were clearly touched by him as they spoke
out:
"Master Hua, you are absolutely right. A person has to go through a

series of tough times in order to come out stronger. Only after fighting
numerous of battles and bleeding numerous times would one be able to
emerge a better person."
"Master Hua, we respect your decision. Please fight this battle at ease."
"We’ve misunderstood your intentions just now. Please win this battle
for us! We believe in you!"
"Good!" Xu Que nodded his head and sighed, "I never expected to find
people who finally understands me. This battle shall be worth it then.
Even if I were to give up my life!"
To the rest of the cultivators who were charging down upon him, these
words made their blood boil even more.
Before long, all the disciples around were hoping and praying that Xu
Que would be able to survive this battle. They all wanted him to
continue on his pursuit to be a better man and be stronger as a person.
At the same time, Xu Que took a single stride and raised his hand
slowly.
"Whooom!" A sliver of white flames appeared from the end of his palm,
causing everyone around to feel immensely cold. The group of
cultivators didn’t even have time to react when they saw Xu Que’s palm.
The Bone Freezing Fire shot right out and enveloped the entire group of
people.
Sou!
Instantly, the hundred cultivators froze into large blocks of ice.
The battle has been concluded!
The Sky Incense Valley disciples were watching some distance away
and were all stumped.
Xu Que exhaled deeply, "After a series of tough times and difficult

battles, I can say that I’ve emerged stronger!"
Disciples : "..."
"Everyone, the battle has ended and I have to head for my third level of
the test. Farewell." Xu Que spoke out before turning around, his robes
flapped in the wind as he walked away.
He came so easily and now left so easily. With a wave of his robes, he
walked into the clouds and rainbow.
Everyone watched his back as he walked away. Their brains froze,

unable to react to this. At the same time, they almost wanted to clutch
their chests in pain and had to try not to vomit blood out.
To hell with your sister and your series of tough times!
To hell with your sister and your difficult blood battles!
To hell with your sister and your numerous battles in order to emerge a
better person!!!
94 That Would Be Exciting
Chapter 94: That Would Be Exciting

It was extremely obvious that Xu Que’s actions were all done in order to
create an unpredictable impression of himself.
Just moments before, he stood tall and unwavering, shouting about how
he would fight to his last drop of blood in order to walk down the path of
self improvement. Those words had touched all their hearts and almost
caused tears to flow.
And yet in the next moment, he vanquished all the cultivators

effortlessly with a single stroke before walking away.
When everyone finally regained their senses, they almost threw up

blood.
How could this ever be considered a fight to his last drop of blood?
What kind of torturous road was this which would make him learn hard
lessons and improve as a person?
Speaking of bleeding for a greater purpose. Where was the blood he

spoke of?
His actions showed that mankind would never have trust for one another
ever again.
...
However, the entire group of cultivators had really wrongly accused Xu

Que and he made them pay for it. Just by letting loose his Bone
Freezing Fire, he claimed several hundred thousand experience points.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't undergone the heavenly
tribulation, he would probably be a few levels into the Original Infant
Stage.
Killing people and killing demonic beasts were making him stronger!
Of course, the most important thing was still about acting tough!
...
When he left the mountain, he glanced at his own personal statistics and
was pleasantly surprised.
He had accumulated more than 4,000 act tough points. The amount of
experience points he had were even scarier. He had a ccumulated
5,800,000/800,000 points.
He had accumulated 5.8 million experience points over the required

800,000. When he did overcome the 49 Heavenly Tribulation, he would
then climb several levels into his new cultivation stage.
At this stage, he no longer had to flee whenever he met with Infant

Transformation Stage cultivators. He could straight away get down to
acting tough. In fact, he would still have enough energy to hold them off
after he was done acting tough.
"Now, this is interesting. After my 3 days of Heavenly Tribulations have

ended, I would be able to head for the Imperial City. Then I wouldn't
have to keep thinking of the old Emperor any longer!" Xu Que smiled to
himself as he turned off the system interface.
At this point, there were still many cultivators queuing outside the valley,
trying to get in to participate in the second stage.
It was a rare occasion which Xu Que could walk through groups of

people without being noticed.
After finding the signs leading towards the third level of the trial, he
started heading in that direction.
Just several moments later, the rest of the cultivators who didn't attack
Xu Que and the Sky Incense Valley disciples came out from the valley.
Before long, word about Xu Que of the "Heavenly Explosion Faction"

had started to spread. This alarmed many people outside the valley and
everyone were stumped by his antics.
"Full Foundation of the Golden Core Stage and he killed a hundred of

cultivators of his own Stage in just a second? Who are you trying to
kid?"
"It can't be fake since the disciples of Sky Incense Valley themselves
admired to this!"
"Many people witnessed this scene with their own eyes and scared the
living daylights out of them!"
"That ‘Hua Wu Que’ is way too powerful. You have to be caref ul not to
offend him in the future!"
"I've heard that he's already crossing into the third stage. The entire
group of us don't dare to enter while he's in there. We'll wait for him to
come out before we decide to enter."
When everyone heard the news of whatever happened, they were

astounded. Word spread like wildfire. A person told ten people and ten
told hundreds. Before long, the phrase "Hua Wu Que of Heavenly
Explosion Faction" had become a representation of an evil, merciless
and bloodthirsty killer!
Soon after, the number of people gathering outside the valley started
increasing. Everyone was starting to talk about the "Heavenly Explosion
Faction".
"What history does this Heavenly Explosion Faction have? Why have we
been hearing this name pop up so frequently? And yet we haven’t heard
about this faction until recently." Someone asked out suspiciously.
"Oh right. Just recently, I travelled past Fire Country and heard of
someone called Xiao Yan, who was extremely powerful. He single
handedly took down a powerful sect called Blood River. Apparently he
was from Heavenly Explosion Faction as well!"
"Fuck! Looks like this faction is indeed powerful! It could possibly be a

sect which gathers the most elite cultivators and only allow someone in
after they’ve proven themselves!"
"Looks to me like an entire bunch of murderers who kill without even

batting an eyelid! How can he just wipe out an entire sect just like that?
Although I have to admit, having such powers makes it extremely hard
to believe!"
"This is a world where cultivators resort to instant gratification. An

offended person would go all out to seek revenge. What was so strange
about an entire sect being wiped out? To be frank, I enjoy the way these
disciples of the Heavenly Explosion Faction do things. If there’s a
chance, I would wish to join them."
"Then, what makes you think you have the credentials to join this
faction?"
"God knows! But I’ve heard that Hua Wu Que from the Heavenly
Explosion Faction left many imprints back in the valley."
"According to what I know, someone interacted with Hua Wu Que

before. He asked him what was the procedure to join the Heavenly
Explosion Faction, which was met with a one liner reply."
"How did he reply?"
"Please contact QQ 575088701!"
"Sigh…."
"Not only is he a highly skilled fighter, he even speaks in such riddles.
That must probably be one of the criterias required to join the Heavenly
Explosion Faction. If only I could understand what that meant, I could
probably join them!" Ai, it’s such a shame that joining them is so
difficult!"
"That’s right! I honestly don’t understand anything that’s been

happening. Maybe it’s because I’m not good enough for the faction."
At the same time, within a stone house atop the mountain of the test
area...
Several Sky Incense Valley disciples were standing before an Infant

Transformation Stage Elder. They were explaining to him in great detail
whatever Xu Que had said.
When the old man finished listening, his lips curled into a snarl.
"What you’re trying to say is, the reason he insisted on going through
the third and fourth stages was because he wanted it to be fair?"
"That’s right."
"And that he single handedly killed more than a hundred cultivators with
a single stroke?"
"Yes, that’s correct. He probably used a very profound spell for the
effects of it were strange. His spell enabled him to shoot out freezing
fire. The minute it comes into contact with something, it will freeze and
turn into ice, causing the person to die immediately!"
"I’m impressed, Hua Wu Que!" The Elder’s face was clearly

overwhelmed by all these information. A gleam could be seen within his
eyes as he smacked the table with his large hands, "With such a
talented individual around, we have to recruit him into the sect no matter
what. We must not allow him to slip by. Listen up. If he wishes to go
through the tests, let him go through it then. As long as you don’t incur
his wrath, he won’t harm any of you."
"Yes!" The few disciples trembled as they heard their orders. It was
clear that they envied the position he was in for the Elders held him in
such high regard. Entering the Sky Incense Faction in such a manner
would mean he would have no lack of treasures and cultivation items
from here on.
"Oh right. What about my other set of instructions. How’s the progress?"
At this point, the Elder asked out as though he suddenly recalled
something.
The few disciples replied him politely, "Reporting to Elder. Before we

found Hua Wu Que, we’ve already sealed up the eighth level of the
Tower of Souls."
The Elder nodded his head as his expression turned severe, "Eh! Before
the Water Empress leaves for the Fire Country, she would be cultivating
in secluded meditation on the eighth floor. Unless she gave explicit
permission, nobody is to open the door under any other circumstances."
"Yes, we understand! It’s just… This disciple has some questions

although he won’t ask them if Elder doesn't wish to answer."
"Go ahead and ask." The Elder squinted as he replied hastily.
"This disciple doesn't understand something. As of today, all the

candidates who have been tested are no higher than the Original Infant
Stage. With their cultivation level and powers, the highest they can ever
reach would be the sixth level. Why then are we wasting so many spirit
stones in sealing off the higher floors? Isn’t that a waste?"
The Elder laughed out once, "Those are the requests of the Water
Empress. Just carry out the order as requested. All those years ago
when she just joined the Sky Incense Valley, she was one of the most
extraordinary people I’ve ever met. I didn’t expect her then to ever
surpass me but she has far exceeded my own cultivation level. Maybe
her cultivation success came from her perfectionist nature and how
everything under her charge has to be done completely ri ght."
As he spoke, the Elder paused before laughing out, "At the end of the
day, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Take today for an example. Who
could ever imagine that a Full Foundation Golden Core Stage cultivator
like Hua Wu Que could cause such a scene here?"
The few disciples forced bitter smiles, not knowing how to reply him.
At this point, Xu Que was climbing up the mountainous roads as he

headed towards the Tower of Souls.
There weren’t many people who came out from the second stage.
Although they were extremely fearful of Xu Que, they followed him from
a safe distance away. Even though they weren’t going to enter the third
stage along with him, they were hoping for a show to catch while he was
going through this stage.
Xu Que noticed they were following him and turned around. The minute
he stopped walking, the entire group of people stopped as well. Only
when he started walking again did they continue to ensure a safe
distance away.
This caused Xu Que to shake his head regretfully.
Had he known this would happen, he wouldn’t have killed so many

people. Now, he can’t act tough properly.
"Looks like I can only act tough once I’m inside the Tower of Souls.
There must be quite a few people within the Tower of Souls now as well,
trying to cross through the third stage. Besides, since they’re in here,
they probably wouldn’t have heard of me as well. Hm... I shall climb all
the way to the highest level and gaze upon the scenery which nobody
ever had the chance to view. I shall then pee off the le dge and give you
an additional natural feature: the waterfall. Ai, think about it, that would
be exciting!
95 We Are Not Feeling Well
Chapter 95: We Are Not Feeling Well

This Tower of Souls was obviously a building and was also a weapon of
sorts.
However, it wasn’t a type of weapon which has a strong firepower that

could kill. Instead, it was a type of weapon which would limit the
cultivation powers of a cultivator and prevent any powers from being
used. It could also transform into a pocket sized building or it could turn
extremely large whenever the need arose to protect or defend.
Sky Incense Valley has a long and reputable line of succession history.
The entire sect looked up to their disciples who possess unnatural
mental strengths and resistance. That was why the third s tage involved
this Tower of Souls which would test for these qualities.
The minute Xu Que passed through a veil into the test domains, he
looked up at the Tower of Souls some distance away and was
astounded by the magnificence of it.
This tower was much bigger and taller than he had imagined it to be.
He had initially thought that it would just be like any other building he
had seen before. He pictured it to be ten storeys at most. However, this
Tower of Souls was so tall that it extended far above the c louds and
looked extremely formidable.
The Tower of Souls had a steel-colored triangular roof. Regardless of

which angle it was looked at, it was extremely unique.
"Impressive! Indeed, cultivators are able to create anything they

imagine. One day, I shall create a tower of my own based on my
impulses. It shall be like the Eiffel Tower of Paris. Let’s see if you’d be
intimidated by my tower then!" Xu Que mumbled under his breath as he
strode towards the tower.
There were many groups of people surrounding the tower. Apart from
the supervising Sky Incense Valley disciples, groups of people waiting
for their time to enter the tower and cultivators who had already finished
this level of the test were there.
All their eyes were glued onto the tower and they would occasionally let
out gasps of shock. Or it could be sighs of regret.
And whenever the crowd sighed out regretfully, a cultivator would

magically appear on the ground in front of the tower. This meant that
they were expelled from the Tower of Souls aft er reaching a point which
their souls could no longer handle the crushing pressure.
Xu Que was extremely surprised at how this group of people knew that
someone was being expelled even before he appeared on the ground,
outside the tower. He thus walked up slowly and raised his head to look
up. The sight made him jump up in shock.
Outside the entrance of the Tower of Souls, there were many wooden
tiles hanging along the walls. These wooden tiles were exactly the same
as those hanging outside the entrance of the second stage. On each
wooden tile, there were names and serial numbers.
Before entering the Tower of Souls, the wooden tile would be absorbed
into the tower and a strong link would be formed between the participant
and the wooden tile.
Everytime the owner of that wooden tile ascends a level, the wooden tile
would float up to that same level and linger outside. Whenever the
participant’s soul couldn’t handle the pressure anymore, the wooden tile
would imprint itself onto the walls of the tower, on t he same level which
the participant dropped out from.
"At this point, there are two Daoist friends hanging on the third level. I
wonder if anyone can ever break past the fourth level!"
"I’m afraid that’s going to be very difficult. Up to this point, ther e’ve only
been five cultivators who ever managed to enter the fourth level. And
these five were all of the Original Infant Stage!"
"I don’t agree with you. Although the strength of a person’s soul is
dependent on his cultivation level, there are some exceptions as well.
Look at our friend who’s holding on at the fourth level. He’s only at level
3 of the Golden Core Stage but the strength of his soul is immense!"
"Indeed, you are right about the strength of a person’s soul and his
mental resistance. I’m sure that when this cultivator finally joins the
sect, he would eventually become an alchemist or a weapon forger with
such strengths!"
"He’s the subject of all our envies! There are so few alchemists or
weapon forgers now. The alchemists and weapon forgers are always
regarded in such high esteem. In fact, a six-star alchemist or weapon
forger of the Original Infant Stage would receive so much more respect
than an Infant Transformation Stage normal disciple. Their social status
would be elevated on a different level!"
"What a pity that the requirements are so high!"
"Look at our friend who’s trying his best to hold on at the fourth level. I
wonder if he can handle the fifth level. If he can, he would most
definitely be issued the Elite Entrance Order."
Xu Que had unknowingly walked into the thick of the crowd. He raised
his head to look up at the tower along with everyone else.
There were only three wooden tiles floating around the tower. Two tiles
were hanging on the third level while the last tile was lo oming over the
fourth level. This indicated that there were only three people within the
tower!
"Pa-da!" a wooden tile which was floating on the third level was
suddenly absorbed by the tower and slammed hard into the wall,
emitting a loud crashing sound.
"It’s a shame that he’s unable to enter the fourth level." Someone from
the audience sighed out in pity.
Several seconds later, a male cultivator was expelled from the tower
and landed on the ground. His face was extremely pale.
Without speaking a word, he shook his head and sighed as he walked to

a corner and sat down, trying to regain his strength.
"Look! The tile belonging to the cultivator stuck on the fourth level is
moving! Heavens! He’s trying to break to the fifth level!"
At this point, the entire crowd was roused up.
Xu Que glanced across. Indeed, the wooden tile floating on the fourth
level was starting to move slowly as it struggled to cross over to the fifth
level.
The entire crowd started to get excited.
"It’s hard to imagine that the person was only at level 3 of the Golden
Core Stage. See how strong his mental strength and soul is."
"Looks like that might be another potential alchemist or weapon forger

from Fire Country!
"When he comes out, we should make friends with him!"
"Pa-da!" At last, that wooden tile crossed over to the fifth level and was
immediately absorbed by the tower, causing the tile to slam hard into
the wall.
Soon after, a green robed man was expelled from the tower. A trickle of
blood ran down from the corners of his lips.
"My friend, please take this Crystal Pill. It will help you to regain your
strength and repair the damage to your soul."
"No, my friend. I have another pill which is more suited for your injuries."
Many cultivators swarmed around him and showed their concern. They
all wished to befriend this cultivator who had a bright future ahead of
him.
Xu Que watched on coldly from the side as he shook his head without a
word.
The difference in treatment between this person and the other cultivator
who was expelled from the third level was extremely vast.
This was the cultivation world. A person of elite standings and powers
would command respect and admiration.
"Tsk, tsk, what a cruel and cold world. But they don’t know that I will
make it to the ninth level yet!" Xu Que clicked his tongue as he mumbled
to himself expectantly.
Several moments later, the other wooden tile left hanging outside the
third level looked like it couldn’t handle the pressure anymore as it
dashed straight for the walls of the tower. The cultivator was expelled
from the tower as well and concluded this round of the test.
Then, a Sky Incense Valley disciple walked over and spoke out loudly,
"The fifth round of the test begins. Participants, please retrieve your
wooden tiles and line up to enter the tower!"
Immediately, more than ten cultivators started moving. They held onto
their wooden tiles and crowded at the entrance of the tower.
Xu Que followed along with the entire group of people and lined up
outside the tower.
However, there were still an entire group of cultivators who refused to
budge. They stood still and clutched onto their wooden tiles without
moving a muscle.
When the Sky Incense Valley saw this, they frowned and asked, "Aren’t
the lot of you participating in this round?"
The group of people hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands,
"No, no. We shall wait for the next round!"
"Why?" The Sky Incense Valley frowned and demanded.
"Sigh..."
"I’m not feeling very well now and wish to rest for a while."
"That’s right. Me too!"
"I feel the same way!"
Everyone started speaking out, saying that they weren’t feeling well.
The Sky Incense Valley disciples couldn’t help but get suspicious.
However, they didn’t say much as well. Besides, there were no rules in
place which required them to participate in that very round.
Clearly, this entire group of cultivators who had to find an excuse not to
participate in this round were the same group who followed Xu Que
along the way.
Since Xu Que caused such a ruckus in the previous test area, most of
the people who had already been here from the start haven’t heard
about him. Most of them outside the tower didn’t know who the
legendary ‘Hua Wu Que’ was.
However, this particular group of cultivators already knew who he was .

In fact, everyone of them from this group still wanted to keep their lives.
Seeing Xu Que line up, they wouldn’t dare to enter the same round as
him. Hence, they decided to remain behind and watch an exciting show
they were sure would unfold and wait for the next round before
participating.
Their actions however, caused quite some attention within the group of
cultivators who were lining up. They then became the subject of ridicule.
"Haha! What a bunch of scaredy mice. They don’t even dare to enter the
Tower of Souls?"
"Indeed! They have the guts of a little mouse. To think they even came
up with the excuse of being ill. It’s hilarious!"
"Just a mere tower is enough to scare you to this extent. Why do you
even bother participating in this test?"
"You’re really disgracing the people of my generation!"
The group of cultivators were mocking and ridiculing them which caused
the other group to feel upset. However, they smiled and knew that
misfortunes were about to befall the group of cultivators entering
together with Xu Que.
Deep down within their hearts, they were scolding out, "You bunch of
idiots. You might laugh now. Just you wait until you enter the tower with
that monstrous demon. That’s when your laughter will turn to sorrow and
tears!"
96 Almost Ate Grass Instead Of Acting Tough And

Soaring
Chapter 96: Almost Ate Grass Instead Of Acting Tough And Soaring
In the midst of all the noise and shouts, Xu Que maintained a calm and
composed expression. A hint of smile lingered upon his lips as he stood
within the crowd and queued up quietly.
At this moment, he looked exactly like a refined and educated young

man. Standing in the middle of a chaotic crowd quietly, he attracted the
attentions of many female cultivators around.
In fact, it wasn’t just that group of female cultivators who noticed him.
The disciples from Sky Incense Valley realized his presence in the
crowd as well. The female disciples snuck glances at this black robed
cultivator from time to time. They thought to themselves, "What a young,
attractive and refined looking cultivator. He looks like an educated
philosopher!"
If these words were to be heard by the group of cultivators who had

excused themselves from this stage, they were sure to vomit blood!
How could this kid be refined and educated? Which part of him is
refined?
When it comes to barbaric killing, no one could be be tter than him.

When it came to scolding vulgarities and cursing, nobody could match
him as well.
The reason he was being quiet and reserved now wasn’t because he
was reserved in nature. Instead, it was to build up for the ultimate acting
tough ploy later on!
"Enter the tower!" At last, a male disciple shouted out as he retrieved a

black steel tile which flew towards the tower.
"Dang!" A dull thud rang out as the entrance of the tower lit up in a flash
of bright light.
Instantly, the veil in front of the tower was lifted.
The group of ten people started to make their ways towards the first
level of the tower!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Everytime someone entered the building,
their wooden tiles would fly out of their hands and hover around the first
level of the tower.
Xu Que made his preparations as he clutched onto his wooden tile and
took a step forward.
"Whoosh!" Almost instantly, the wooden tile flew out of his palms.
The second Xu Que took his second step, he could feel an immense
pressure weight down upon him. It felt extremely suffocating as if a
strong tidal wave had swept over his entire body!
"Wow, fuck!"bXu Que could feel his soul tremble slightly and felt as if his
soul was about to leave his body from that immense wave.
He steadied his footsteps and willed himself into concentration. Taking

deep breaths, he finally managed to stabilize himself.
However, just to remain planted on the ground required a great deal of

effort on his part. His entire body seem to have be frozen to the ground.
It was as if taking another step would completely destabilize him.
"Why would it be like this? Damn it. Why is my soul this weak? It’s only
the first level! And I can’t even move any further? System, system. Hurry
and come out you slow acting slave." Xu Qu e was astounded as he
hurriedly called out for the system.
"Ding! Ever since the host transmigrated over to this new body, you
haven’t completely fused your soul to this body yet. The system shall
help you configure the settings and conduct merging now. Please wait."
"Currently merging at 1%..."

Xu Que could see a bar appear on the information interface, updating

him of the progress. Although the speed of progress ion was somewhat
slow, Xu Que still heaved a sigh of relief, "So this is the side effects of
transmigration. Damn it! It scared the shit out of me. I thought my acting
tough was going to backfire on me and leave me eating grass instead of
soaring!"
However, the fact that he completely stopped attracted strange stares

from everyone else within the tower.
"Haha! That’s hilarious. Look at that kid who just entered. He’s not
moving at all." Someone realized and started laughing out loud.
"Ai, that can’t be!"
"This is only the first level. And he can’t move already? His soul and
mental strengths are too weak!"
"That’s right. Even a Core Bearing Stage cultivator would be able to get
to the second stage without much difficulties. And this kid is already at
the Golden Core Stage!"
"I’ve never heard of anything like that. Someone would actually be stuck
on the first stage and be immobilized by the pressure."
"Young man, congratulations! You’ve set a new record! It’s a pity that
your record is for the lowest stage ever! Haha!!!"
An entire group of people started laughing out in plain mockery as they

walked, brushing past Xu Que’s shoulder as they headed for the second
level effortlessly.
"Fuck. Just you wait!" Xu Que gritted his teeth and squinted his eyes,
remembering the faces of those who mocked him.
At this point, the people outside the tower were stumped.
They realized that the minute Xu Que walked into the tower, he took two
steps and stopped moving. He was locked in at that exact spot as if he
couldn’t progress any further.
The group of cultivators who were afraid of Xu Que and didn’t dare to
enter the same stage as him were stunned as well. They were in utter
disbelief.
"That’s impossible! The killing demon has such a fragile and weak
mental disposition?"
"That’s not right. I have a feeling he’s doing this intentionally."
"Do you think he has something up his sleeve?"
"Looks like he has a ploy to me. Afterall, he’s a scheming and crafty
person."
"That’s right! A person who could wipe out a hundred cultivators

effortlessly, how weak can he really be?"
The group of people who were speaking unknowingly attracted the

attentions of other cultivators around. Many people cast curious glances
at the group of cultivators and someone asked out, "My friends, may I
know what you are speaking of? I think I overheard someone saying
something about killing a hundred cultivators effortlessly?"
"Heheh… haven’t you heard? Don’t you know who that young man in
black robes is?" The cultivator who knew what was happenin g gave a
grin.
"Who is he?" Everyone around started to get curious.
"He’s Hua Wu Que from Heavenly Explosion Faction!"

"What’s that? What kind of sect is Heavenly Explosion Faction?"
"Keke… just one look and I can tell you know nothing. The Heavenly
Explosion Faction is a sect which only admits the very best fighters and
cultivators throughout the entire realm. It’s a sort of a secret sect and
most of its disciples are extremely evil. For example, this black robed
young man. Something major happened whi le he was in the second
stage earlier…" Hence the group of cultivators started explaining to the
rest of the bewildered people around.
Xu Que didn’t know that people were spreading news and talking about
the Heavenly Explosion Faction which didn’t even exist.
At this point, everyone on the first level had left, leaving him standing
there all by himself. He looked straight but was still unable to move.
It was as if he was stoning out in nothingness. He had just entered the

system’s shops and purchased the strongest soul strength booster he
could find.
He was confident that as long as his body had fully merged with his
soul, crossing through this level wasn’t going to be a problem at all.
However, as for going up the next few levels, he wasn’t very sure
anymore.
At first, Xu Que wanted to put on his Spirit Visage armor to defend

himself against the crushing pressure he was experiencing. However,
the system informed him that the armor wasn’t going to prevent the
pressure from getting to him. That was becau se the Spirit Visage could
only protect against threatening spells which is not what this Tower of
Souls does. The system thus suggested he purchase some boosters.
Hence, Xu Que opened up the system interface and purchased several

items.
Empty Sky Pills: Permanently increases soul strength and mental

resistance by 1% (Limited to 300 pill purchases every day)
Price: 10 act tough points.
Dark Jade Dew: Permanently increases soul strength and mental

resistance by 60%
Price: 500 act tough points
"Why is everything in percentages and not in absolute numbers? Forget

it, I shall buy these two items." Xu Que looked at it and decided between
these two boosters for himself.
Out of both of these, the Empty Skill Pill was the most worth it. Every pill
would increase his soul strength and mental resistance by 1% and it
only costs 10 act tough points.
However, if such pills were to be used in high quantities, the prices

wouldn’t be cheap anymore.
Take the Dark Jade Dew as an example. Although it cost 500 act tough
points, it could increase up to 60% of his soul strength and mental
resistance. If he were to purchase 60 Empty Skill Pills, he would achieve
the same 60% but spend 600 act tough points.
Hence, Xu Que contemplated for sometime and decided to spend 100

act tough points on 10 Empty Skill Pill. He decided to use it first and see
the situation from there.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for completing the merge

between body and soul." the system rang out.
Xu Que immediately felt his whole body turn light as if he just tossed
aside the shackles and binds that were weighing him down. The
crushing pressures which overwhelmed him earlier was now completely
gone.
"Oh, I feel very different." Xu Que exhaled happily. He glanced at the

stairwell leading to the second level and laughed out loud. "Hehe... now
I shall find those group of guys at the second level to settle scores with
them. It’s now my turn. If I can’t make you so angry that you wish you
were dead, my name shan’t be Acting Tough King Xu Que!" He then
swallowed all ten Empty Sky Pills before walking effortlessly onto the
second floor.
97 Already Seen Through
Chapter 97: Already Seen Through

Xu Que swallowed the ten pills and realized that they tasted bland as if
he was swallowing air.
"Boom!" In the next moment, he felt like as though his brain just
exploded and he received clarity of thought in stantaneously.
He could feel a certain sensitivity in his mind as if he knew and

understood every single corner and space of the first level in this Tower
of Souls!
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully assimilating the

Empty Skill Pill. Your soul strength and mental resistance has increased
by 10%!"
Soon after the system rang out, Xu Que looked like he just awoke from a
long and deep slumber. He felt as if there was an immense amount of
energy in his body and the speed at which his th oughts were being
processed was much faster.
"So these are the advantages of having increased mental fortitude and
soul strength. It’s simply amazing. If I had known about this earlier, I
would have tried some pills sooner." Xu Que’s lips curled into a sm ile as
he took large strides and walked towards the second level confidently.
"Eh? Look! That black robed kid has finally moved!"

"That’s strange. It was obvious that he was stuck after two steps. How
did he manage to resolve that problem?"
"Could it be… After his soul got used to the pressure, he could break out
of it?"
"How could it be? Although the powers of the mind and the soul are
extremely profound and mysterious, how could he have acclimatized so
quickly?"
When the group of cultivators outside realized that Xu Que had moved,
they were all roused and broke out in frantic chatter.
The group of cultivators who had came from the second stage all gave
out smiles that implied "we told you so".
"Haha! Indeed, he finally moved."
"Thankfully, we’re not trapped inside with him. I’m sure he was just
pretending to be trapped."
"That’s right. He wanted more people to enter the tower. Thankfully we

managed to stay out."
"That Hua Wu Que is really scary. Heheh... the people inside the tower
with him are in for a treat."
At the same time, on the second level of the Tower of Souls...
Several cultivators were stuck at this stage. Each of them had pained
and severe expressions written across their faces. They were in deep
concentration as they gathered their strengths and repelled the crushing
pressure to the best of their abilities.
In actual fact, this crushing pressure upon their souls would help them
to become stronger. The longer they remained under such pressure, the
better they can get acclimatized to it and move on. So, the better they
can adapt, the higher their chances of making it through to the third
level.
That was how it normally was. However, now that Xu Que was around,
the situation is different.
"Hahaha! It's so hilarious that it's killing me. Why are you all standing
still and not moving?" Xu Que came up to the second level and burst out
into laughter. He glared at those cultivators who had mocked and
taunted him earlier.
The few of them finally managed to concentrate their thoughts after a

long time. At this point, they were shocked and distracted by the sound
of Xu Que’s laughter. They were clearly incensed and threw him angry
looks.
Soon after, whatever they saw astounded them.
Xu Que, who was the butt of their taunts was walking over towards them
effortlessly. He had a grin on his face and walked confidently, swinging
his hands like a big time mafia in his own turf.
The way he was acting clearly showed how at ease and comfortable he
was with the increased soul restriction on that lev el.
"How could this be?"
"Weren't you the person stuck on the first level?!" Several cultivators
were astonished and shouted out. Their bodies were rooted to the
ground, unable to move.
Xu Que then burst out in laughter, "You must be kidding. With my

cultivation level, how could I have been hindered by the first level? It
was that I was extremely hungry just now. Hence I stopped to think
about what I should eat after I'm done with the test. However, I never
expected…"
Xu Que’s expression fell dramatically. His face was full of sadness and
sorrow as if he had been offended. He then spoke out, "I never expected
to be made fun of and to take such personal attacks. You guys clearly
hurt my very small self-esteem and confidence. Hence, you have to pay
the price for it."
The cultivators paused and half laughed. Their faces were contorted into
a smile but they were clearly afraid. "Haha! What do you think you can
do to us in such a place?"
"There are rules here. If you dare to use any spells to strike us, the
Tower of Souls will expel all of us instantly."
"That’s right. Seeing as to how easy this is for you, it must mean that
your mental strength is extremely high and you have a good chance of
reaching the fourth level. If you wish to get expelled here along with the
rest of us, you're the one on the losing end."
"You can try if you want!"
When Xu Que heard this, he paused. Damn it. This dog shit Tower of
Souls have such a dumb rule? I cannot use spells here? And I cannot
hurt anyone? Fuck me. Why didn't the Sky Incense Valley disciples
mention this?
He started to get suspicious. However, these few people didn't look like
they were lying.
"What? Do you not have the guts to attack?"
"Haha! Anyway, the chances of us reaching the third level are slim. If
you wish to get expelled from the tower along with us, we won't mind."
The few of them started laughing out again.
If a person were to observe carefully, he would realize that although

these people were speaking and laughing, their souls were still under
tremendous pressures. And they clearly were extremely tense and rigid.
Xu Que seemed to have thought of something as his eyes lit up and his
lips curled into a faint smile.
Without speaking another word, he turned around and searched for an

unoccupied corner and walked over.
Several cultivators paused and crinkled their brows suspiciously but

heaved a sigh of relief nonetheless.
Although they were all itching to taunt Xu Que further, they themselves
didn't want to get expelled from the tower prematurely.
"That's good. At least it seems like he doesn't dare to enter a lose -lose
situation.
"Let's concentrate again. There's a chance that we might break through

to the third level if we concentrate hard enough."
The few them looked at each other and started co ncentrating their
thoughts and training their mental fortitudes once more.
Xu Que then walked over to the corner slowly as he called out for his
system. He then took out an item from his system inventory.
"Ba-dang!" An iron pot fell onto the ground, as t he sound of it rang out
and echoed across the entire second level.
The few cultivators who were trying to concentrate were startled awake
again. Breaking their concentration this way severely disrupted their
meditation and could cause damage to their soul s. Some of them were
nearly expelled from the tower, since their souls were on the edge of
their threshold.
They glared angrily at Xu Que as they spoke out, "My friend, if you did
that on the third level, we might benefit from it. But if you do it right
here, our souls might get damaged and our test will end at this point."
Xu Que didn't even look at them and continued taking things out of his
system inventory.
"Ba-dang!" A pile of dry firewood and twigs spilled out of his inventory.
"..."
"What's this kid trying to do?" Several cultivators opened their eyes wide
in curiosity.
Soon after, they saw Xu Que pick up a thin piece of wood as he sat
down upon the floor. He then placed the piece of wood upon the
firewood and started twisting the wood with both hands, causing sparks
to fly.
"Pu!" one of the cultivators couldn't take the distraction any longer. His
concentration broke, causing his soul to scatter. In that instant, the
tower detected that he was at his maximum threshold and expelled him
from the tower.
Outside the tower, several people were still animatedly discussing how
Xu Que could've broken out of the first stage and moved all of a sudden.
Then, a popping sound could be heard as the shadow of a Daoist being
expelled could be seen.
"Ai, you've only been there for such a short while. Why did you get
expelled so quickly?"
"This is the record for the shortest time spent inside the Tower of
Souls."
"Looks like that person doesn't have a chance of joining Sky Incense
Valley after this."
People started to get suspicious and broke out in discussion.
Indeed, when the person was expelled from the tower and landed on the
ground outside, his expression was one of anger. He glanced at the Sky
Incense Valley disciples and was full of dissatisfaction. "My fellow
brothers and sisters, I wish to lodge a complaint. That black robed kid is
inside the Tower of Souls is being a nuisance. Just now, he was trying
to start a fire using two pieces of wood! It severely affected my ability to
concentrate. I demand for a retest!"
Trying to start a fire with wood?
Everyone in the crowd were stumped.
"Pu!"
Soon after, several cultivators from the group who had followed Xu Que
earlier burst out in laughter.
"Haha! Trying to start a fire with wood? Damn me. Master Hua is
extremely amazing. I wonder how he thinks of such things."
"That goes without saying. What a good method. But he has to be able
to completely overcome the pressure on the second floor before he
could come up with such antics."
"But come to think of it. What was he trying to do with fire?"
"He was probably trying to use smoke to distract the cultivators right?
Afterall, nobody was allowed to use any spells to harm anyone within
the Tower of Souls."
The Sky Incense Valley disciples were extremely perp lexed as well.
They had never seen such a situation unfold ever. How could someone
ever think of starting a fire with mere pieces of wood in the tower?
After glancing at each other, one of the disciples walked over and shook
his head, "He’s only starting fires with wood. It's not a violation of any
rules. Besides, there are still many people remaining within the second
level of the tower and you're the first to be expelled. This still proves
that you're the weakest among them!"
"Dang!" a wooden tile which hovered over the second level banged
against the wall of the tower, causing a dull thud to ring out.
Soon after, another cultivator was being expelled from the tower as well.
The group of people paused in shock once more.
The newly expelled cultivator had a look of anger on his face as well. He
dashed towards the Sky Incense Valley disciples and shouted out, "My
fellow brothers and sisters. A black robed youth is affecting our
concentration inside. I demand a retest!"
The Sky Incense Valley disciples frowned as they replied, "Starting a

fire with wood isn't considered an interference or distraction."
"Starting a fire using wood?" That cultivator shouted out, "It’s fine that
he wanted to start a fire for that wouldn't bother me. But he's grilling
chicken wings over the fire within the tower now!"
98 I Shall Give You Face, And Not Eat Chicken

Wings Anymore
Chapter 98: I Shall Give You Face, And Not Eat Chicken Wings
Anymore
"..." Everyone fell into silence!
Grilling… Grilling chicken wings?
He was in the Tower of Souls. Grilling chicken wings? This kid is crazy!
Everyone froze in shock, their faces displayed looks of astonishment.
The group of cultivators who had followed Xu Que earlier broke out into
a second round of laughter after hearing this.
"Hahaha! I… I admit defeat! Master Hua is a genius and the most
talented cultivator in the entire world!"
"Only Master Hua can think of something like this to do."
"No, no, no. It's not just Master Hua. I think it's a hobby of those
disciples from Heavenly Explosion Faction."
"Why do you say that?"
"When we first went past the Fire Country, I heard stor ies of a vile
disciple of Heavenly Explosion Faction as well. His name was Xiao Yan.
After killing a leader of a powerful sect, he stood at that same spot and
started grilling chicken wings. He decided to wait for his men to call for
reinforcements. When he was done with his meal and the
reinforcements from the sect had arrived, he killed the entire group of
them effortlessly."
"Whoah!" Everyone present was astonished by this piece of news.
So it seems like the evil disciples of Heavenly Explosion Faction all

enjoy grilling chicken wings at the most inappropriate timings!
The Sky Incense Valley disciples were extremely startled and confused.
After presiding over so many rounds of tests, this was the first time they
had ever seen anything like this.
He went to start a fire from wood and then he started grilling chicken
wings over the fire. Was he trying to pass a test or enjoying himself?
At last, a high cultivation level person walked over and spoke out, "At
first, we assumed that the reason for starting a fire was to hurt
someone. Since it was to grill chicken wings, it means he didn’t
intentionally disrupt your concentrations. If your mental resistance was
strong, how can something so minor distract you?"
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

All of a sudden, three loud sounds rang out. Apart from Xu Que’s
wooden tile which was still hovering the second level, all the other
wooden tiles were absorbed by the wall and had stuck themselves on
the exterior of the tower.
Soon after, several cultivators were expelled from the tower at the same
time. Their faces revealed looks of extreme hatred and anger.
Everyone in the crowd froze. What… What did that black robed
youngster do this time?
"..." The Sky Incense Valley disciples couldn’t bear it any longer as they
asked, "What did the black robed young man did again?"
"He’s grilling chicken wings! Fellow brothers and sisters, we are not
contented. We demand a retest." The few cultivators shouted out
angrily, their faces were full of humiliation and agitation.
The Sky Incense Valley disciples crinkled their brows, "He’s still grilling
chicken wings? How did that affect you anyway?"
The cultivators looked extremely upset, "The chicken wings which he

grilled… Smelt too delicious."
Everyone : "..."
"What rubbish. Can chicken wings even be eaten? Even if they can, who
would even grill them and cause a delicious aroma to waft in the air?"
"It’s indeed ridiculous. If you tell me that he distracted you by starting a

fire and the smoke got to you, I can understand. But he was just grilling
chicken wings and you’re saying that it affected you. I really find it
difficult to believe." Many cultivators were shaking their heads in
disbelief.
"That’s right. Master Hua probably got hungry while trying to cross over
to the third level. What’s wrong with grilling some chicken wings then?"
The cultivators who followed Xu Que from the second test area spoke
out in his defense at this point.
The cultivators who had just been expelled looked like they were about
to cry, "If you don’t believe us, you can take a look. I do not believe that
any of you will be able to keep you concentration and focus on
meditation while smelling that delicious smell."
"At this point, he’s already getting ready to enter the third floor. If you
don’t believe me, you should wait. There will be more cultivators to be
expelled from the tower."
The Sky Incense Valley disciples frowned and looked at each other.
"What should we do?"
"If whatever they say is correct, this round of test has been messed up."
"If not… Maybe we should open the windows to the tower and see
what’s happening inside?"
"Let’s do that!"
The disciples agreed on the plan and nodded their heads in unison.
They decided to open the windows of the tower to see the situation on
the inside.
The disciple who was in charge of lifting the veil and opening the
entrance fished out a silver tile. He then conjured a spell as he threw
the silver tile onto the tower.
"Dang!"
A loud sound reverberated all around. In the next instant, they could see
into the situation within the tower.
Everyone in the audience fell silent as they turned their heads to take a
look.
A bright light could then be seen on the second floor of the tower. In that
instant, it was as if the curtains from the tower had been drawn,
revealing everything that was happening within.
The situation on the second floor was thus clear for everyone outside
the tower to observe.
At the same time, a delicious smell wafted into their noses. It was a
decadent, slightly overcooked smell with many spices added to it.
"Hsss!" Everyone outside sucked in a deep breath of air.
"This... This smell is too delicious. It’s too difficult to withstand!"
"It’s just chicken wings. How did he manage to make it smell so

delicious?"
"Just smelling such an aroma is enough to make me drool. I am so

hungry now!"
"No wonder they couldn’t concentrate when they were on the same level
as him. If it were me, I probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand it
as well!"
Everyone in the crowd sighed out regretfully.
At this point, Xu Que was squatting on the ground nibbling on the grilled
chicken wings. All of a sudden, he felt something shift within the walls
around him. He then turned his head to look at the walls behind him and
was astonished.
"Fuck me. These walls could become transparent like glass? This is
magnificent!"
He stood up and walked over towards the wall as he ate his chicken
wings. He then looked down and saw an entire group of cultivators
staring back up at him.
He took another huge bite out of the chicken wing which had a crispy
skin but tender meat. A crack sound could be heard as he sank his teeth
into the piece of meat.
"Gulp!" All the cultivators down below were shocked. Many of them
couldn’t help but gulp down in hunger as they wiped their mouths with
the corners of their sleeves!
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for acting tough. The reward is
30 act tough points!"
Xu Que finished the entire piece of chicken within the next bite as he
glanced down at the crowd beneath. He then laughed out and asked,
"My fellow Daoist friends, how may I help you?"
"..." Nobody in the crowd had any words to reply to him.
Even the Sky Incense Valley cultivators were astounded and continued
looking up in a daze. This happened for sometime until one of them
snapped back to his senses and asked with a bitter expression, "My
friend, what are you trying to do?"
"What do you mean? I’m hungry, why can’t I cook something to eat?
Besides, nobody mentioned anything about not being able to cook
chicken wings while inside the Tower of Souls!" Xu Que asked, his eyes
wide open.
The cultivator’s lips trembled as he replied, "You can eat. But… But…
Can you not prepare something whic h smells so delicious?"
"If I can’t prepare delicious food, does that mean you want me to
prepare smelly rotten food to eat?"
"My friend, why don’t you cooperate with us. If not, this entire round
would be ruined." The Sky Incense Valley looked extremely helpless.
Afterall, there were no rules which said that a participant cannot eat
while in the tower. Hence, the only thing he could do was to ask him
politely.
Xu Que thought to himself for sometime before his eyes lit up. "So, what
you’re trying to say is that I can cook, as long as it doesn’t smell too
delicious?"
"Yes, as long as you do not prepare foods which are too aromatic, you
can have whatever you want." The Sky Incense Valley disciple nodded
his head and spoke out.
"Fine, I shall give you some face. I won’t eat chicken wings anymore."
Xu Que promised earnestly. He then tossed the bones of that chicken
wing onto the ground before turning around and walking towards the
third floor.
"Many thanks, my friend!" The Sky Incense Valley disciple heaved a sigh
of relief.
Only the group of cultivators who had followed Xu Que from the second
test area in the valley knew that something wasn’t right. Their eyelids
were jumping as they heard this.
"That’s not right! The killing and murderous demon is speaki ng nicely
and reasonably?"
"It feels like something big is about to happen."
The cultivators were all extremely suspicious as they looked up towards

Xu Que.
Xu Que didn’t carry anything along with him. He just walked over to the
staircase leading up to the third floor effortlessly. At the same time, he
called out for the system, "System. Do you sell smelly tofus?"
99 Master Hua Is Cooking Shit!
Chapter 99: Master Hua Is Cooking Shit!

As soon as Xu Que stepped onto the staircase leading to the third floor,
the Sky Incense Valley disciples shifted the spell up as well. The entire
area of the third level was now transparent to them. Without daring to
relax the slightest in anticipation of Xu Que’s weird antics, they watched
on tensely.
The second Xu Que arrived at the third level, he felt an entire wave of
pressure sweep across his body.
He felt as if he was placed in a perilous situation with a huge flood of

water submerging him under.
Xu Que trembled as he planted his feet firmly on the ground. It took him
all of his energy in order not to be swept away by the strong force. He
gritted his teeth and held on for dear life.
He told himself to hold on tight and to concentrate all his thoughts and
willpower to remain firmly rooted.
This was the best way to deal with such a force which aimed t o
suppress a person’s mind and soul!
Xu Que wasn’t alone in doing that. The rest of the cultivators on the
third floor were doing the same as him. Each one of them looked like a
mountain, firmly rooting themselves to the ground. All of them were
deep in concentration, finding it extremely hard to take another step
forward.
"Look! The black robed cultivator has been restrained!"

"But, he just stepped into the entrance of the third floor and he’s already
having so much difficulties? Wasn’t he extremely at ease on the second
floor?"
"Looks like he was feigning it on the second floor then. When he finally
reached the third floor, the pressure was too much for him to handle and
revealed his true strengths."
"He’s really having problems! But as a Full Foundat ion in the Golden
Core Stage, being able to withstand the pressure of the third floor was
already quite an achievement."
"Eh... that’s the normal standards for someone of the Golden Core
Stage!"
"I guess that’s good as well. Now we don’t have to worry ab out anything
unusual happening on the third floor."
The people standing outside the Tower of Souls broke out into
discussion immediately.
Some people felt it was a pity that the third floor is probably where Xu
Que’s journey would end. Others were slightly doubtful and were still
suspicious of Xu Que and his strange ways.
An example of this was the group of cultivators who had followed Xu

Que from the previous stage. Seeing such a scene, their reaction was
the same as before, "If you fall for this, it’s your loss. He is definitely
pretending, nothing more."
The group of cultivators who had been expelled from the second floor as
a result of Xu Que’s antics were still fuming with rage. Seeing him
having difficulties caused them some happiness as they gloat ed in his
misfortunes.
"Hm, I thought he had some incredible mental strength. I didn’t expect

the third floor to be more than he can handle!"
"He is trash!"
"In fact, he’s currently stuck at the entrance of the third level. He
probably won’t even be ranked among the top 100 cultivators!"
"Well, he deserves it. As long as he doesn’t end up joining the Sky

Incense Valley, we can attack him after all this is over and kill him!"
At the same time, on the third floor of the Tower of Souls...
"Shit! How weak is my soul? Looks like I have to buy more booster pills
to consume!"
Xu Que’s legs trembled slightly as he scolded out in his mind. He then

entered the system’s shops and spent 500 act tough points and
purchased the Dark Jade Dew.
"System, I can’t move a muscle. Consume the Dark Jade Dew on my

behalf!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for consuming a single Dark

Jade Dew. Your soul strength and mental fortitudes have increased by
60%!"
Boom!
All of a sudden, Xu Que could feel the boundaries restraining his brain
explode open!
The feeling can only be described as having an atomic bomb detonate

within his brain, blowing everything inside apart ‘till nothing was left. His
mind was a complete blank.
In the next moment, all his memories and emotions came gushing back
to him. He could feel the peripheries of his mind becoming much
broader and wider. It was almost as if his perception skills and thought
processing speed became 60% faster.
Xu Que then understood. The strength of his mind and soul was heavily
dependent on his perceptions and way of thinking.
He then snapped back to reality and could feel an immediate difference.

The powerful pressure which once restrained him was no longer
present. He felt extremely light and comfortable. In fact, h e felt no
different now than outside the tower. Not a tinge of pressure was felt by
him at this point.
"Aiyo. This is amazing!" Xu Que shouted out loudly.
All the cultivators on the third floor were immediately roused from their
deep concentration.
"Pu!" A pair of cultivators who were hanging on for dear life were
instantly distracted to the point of no return and vanished from the spot
instantly. They then appeared outside the Tower of Souls.
The pair of them raged out in apparent anger but had no way of venting
it. The pair of them had mocked Xu Que when he was stuck on the first
level as well. It was an eye for an eye.
The group of cultivators outside the tower weren’t even bothered by the
pair of cultivators who had been expelled. The entire group b roke out in
shocked conversations as they looked at Xu Que through the
transparent windows.
"How… How was this possible?"
"He merely stood there for several seconds. His mind and soul received
yet another breakthrough?"
"What on earth was happening?"
"He was clearly having difficulties earlier and was trapped. And now he
managed to overcome all the resistance. He must’ve been pretending
from the start. Or was it that he really managed to find a breakthrough in
such a short span of time?"
"He’s too strong. Look at how everyone is trembling vigorously from the
pressure on the third floor. Then look at how at ease he is, as if the
pressure has no effect on him whatsoever."
Everyone was extremely alarmed and astonished!
Only the group of cultivators who had followed Xu Que from the earlier
test stage weren’t surprised. Instead, they revealed the same looks of
‘We saw through his act from the start’. Their hearts were full of pride as
if they were correct and extremely smart to have seen through Xu Que’s
act.
Just like that, Xu Que had earned an additional 70 act tough points."
However, he still felt like he had lost out. He spent 500 act tough points
to purchase the Dry Jade Dew. Although this increased his mental and
soul strengths, he only managed to earn back a small fraction of
whatever he spent. He knew that this wasn’t enough.
With his hands behind his back, his chest stuck out and his head raised
high, he started roaming around the entire third floor, completely at
ease.
It was as if he was the leader of an investigation, walking around and

examining the area thoroughly. The group of ten cultivators were looking
at him, completely bewildered by his unbridled and composed
demeanor.
However, they decided not to bother too much with him and shut their
eyes before concentrating hard once more. They didn’t even have any
energy remaining to deal with Xu Que at this point, for most of their
strength had been devoted to repelling and resisting the strong crushing
pressure.
Xu Que walked an entire round of the third level and didn’t find anything
interesting. He then walked over to the window of the tower and looked
down at the group of people outside.
The Sky Incense Valley disciples looked at him and hurriedly shouted
out, "My friend, since you have such strong soul strength, why not make
full use of the time and head over to the fourth level?"
"The fourth level? There’s no rush. There’s nobody up there and I’m still
hungry. I shall cook something else to eat." Xu Que waved his hands
and replied casually.
"Hsss..." Everyone outside inhaled a deep breath of air.
They’re finished. Looks like he’s up to something again!
The Sky Incense Valley were extremely anxious when they heard this,
"My friend, you promised me you wouldn’t eat anymore."
"What farts are coming out from your mouth? I promised that I wouldn’t
eat anything too delicious smelling." Xu Que replied.
Everyone paused in shock. He won’t eat anything too delicious

smelling? Then what was he going to eat? Was he really this hungry and
wanted to cook plain rice for himself to eat?
The Sky Incense Valley disciples paused in shock before asking,

"Then… What does my friend wish to eat?"
"Don’t worry. I understand your struggles as well. Eating something too

delicious would distract the other cultivators and make it hard for them
to concentrate. I am not an inconsiderate person, so please relax. I shall
eat something else." Xu Que replied.
When the group of people heard this, they nodded their heads
helplessly.
"Looks like this black robed young man is quite a nice person after all."
"Eh at least he knows when to stop misbehaving when things are getting
serious. At least this shows that he’s a person of good moral conduct
and that he knows how to behave."
The group of Sky Incense Valley disciples clasped their hands together
and saluted him, "Many thanks, my daoist friend."
The group of cultivators who had followed him from the previous stage
had expressions full of doubt and suspicions. They still didn’t believe
whatever Xu Que said.
In that next instant, they saw Xu Que taking out his iron pot once more,
retrieving a strange looking vial.
"I knew it wasn’t so simple. He’s probably trying to cook something

else." The group of cultivators who had followed Xu Que muttered out
under their breaths.
The Sky Incense Valley disciples saw this, their lips twitched as well.
"My friend, please don’t do anything that might disturb the rest of them.
If not, it would be hard for us to handle the matter."
"Don’t worry. I am a man of my word. If the smell is too delicious that it

would distract them, I would come down and k ill myself by eating all the
dung I can find."
Xu Que slapped his chest as he spoke out.
Soon after, he started greasing his pot before sitting down on the
ground. Once again, he took out some wood to start a fire as he heated
the oil on his pot.
The group of cultivators outside the tower watched him silently. Their
thoughts and expressions were extremely cautious and strange.
They were clearly here to see people pass this stage and move on. Why
were they watching the black robed youth cook now? And he was doing
all these within the Tower of Souls…..
Before long, the pot started steaming as the sound of oil sizzling could
be heard.
Xu Que raised his eyebrows as he took out something from the system
inventory. He retrieved the "Fermented Smelly Tofu" an d emptied the
entire packet of it into the hot pot.
"Gulu gulu…."
The smelly tofu was rolling in the oil, as it started cooking.
At the same time, the few people nearest to him could smell the
stomach-turning stench wafting out from the pot. The smell diffused
slowly across the entire third floor before long.
"Oh ! What’s that foul and offensive smell?"
"It smells exactly like dog shit!"
"Damn it…"
The people outside the tower had strange expressions as they hurriedly
pinched their nostrils.
The Sky Incense Valley disciples were extremely anxious and angry. At
this point they then realized what was happening. He said he wouldn’t
cook anything delicious smelling. Hence he decided to cook something
smelly!
The group of cultivators who followed Xu Que from the valley earlier on
looked down as they mumbled to themselves, "Master Hua…. Is cooking
shit!"
100 When He Turns Fierce, He Won’t Even Let
Himself Off!
Chapter 100: When He Turns Fierce, He Won’t Even Let Himself Off!
"Pff! Pff! Pff!" tens of Cultivators on the third level of the Tower of Souls
were overwhelmed by the unbearable stench. Their minds became
disorganized and they were being expelled from the tower from being
unable to withstand the pressure.
"I won’t admit defeat!"
"Seniors from the Sky Incense Valley, what is happening here?"
"Are you all going to let him continue his nonsense?"
"Are you all going to let us pass the stage or not?"
"This is not fair. Who can stand this stench?"
"Quickly kick him out of here and disqualify him!"
In a moment, the ten cultivators who were sent out of the tower were
making a din outside. They looked especially furious as if bearing
immeasurable hatred against Xu Que.
The Sky Incense Valley disciples were also holding their noses and
creasing their eyebrows. They didn’t even feel like speaking.
One of the disciples immediately rode on his sword and rushed to inform
the Elder.
They didn’t know how to handle the situation since there were no rules
which prohibited anyone from eating or cooking.
After all, such a situation hasn’t happened before. Most Cultivators
would have difficulty even moving after they entered the third level since
they had to stay mentally focused. Who would have the time to disturb
others, let alone cook?
The remaining onlooking Cultivators also started to inch further slowly .

They found the stench very difficult to tolerate, since they had not
encountered such a smell before.
Xu Que who was still in the tower took a deep breath, feeling especially
blessed.
"That’s right, this familiar smell!" He became deeply emotional and

reminiscent. Who knew that the system store had the Smelly Tofu on
sale. Furthermore, it was the authentic version of the "Chang Sha
Smelly Tofu". This smell could not be matched.
Nevertheless, there were still two Cultivators in the third level and both
of them were forging on and tolerating. Being able to maintain their
focus in this overwhelming stench, it showed that their soul strengths
were quite spectacular and they definitely had a shot in moving on to the
fourth level!
However, the two of them viciously taunted and ridiculed Xu Que when
they were at the first level.
Xu Que remembered the both of them very clearly. Now, seeing that
they were still able to hold their grounds, he became overjoyed. He
smiled and said, "My two dear friends, don’t choke. After I finish
cooking, I will feed them to you both!"
"Pfff!" one of them could not hold it in anymore. His soul broke and was
expelled out of the Tower of Souls.
Outside, he started to scream in anger, "You get the hell down, I won’t
let you off!"
The rest of the onlookers’ faces were filled with bitterness and shook
their head while holding their noses.
"This black robed young man is too vicious."
"Cooking shit was bad enough already and he still said that he will feed
that ‘shit’ to others. Who could tolerate that!"
"It’s a pity for that guy. With such a high level of soul strength, he could
definitely pass to the fourth level."
"No choice. He can only blame his luck for meeting that black robed
youth!"
"Sigh, it’s really his own fault. If they did not provoke that young man at
the first level, wouldn’t this be avoided?"
"Now we only have one person remaining and he is still holding on!"
Everybody’s attention started to focus on the third floor and they could
see the last remaining man gritting his teeth and holding on.
Xue Que was just carefreely sitting on the ground. He went into the
system store and exchanged for a pair of chopsticks and fiddled with the
Smelly Tofu inside of the pan. As he flipped and tossed them, the smell
became richer.
He also exchanged for a sparkling and resplendent jade bowl, only

costing him one act tough point!
Of course, this was not any ordinary bowl. The system described it as
being able to enhance the taste of food.
Since Xu Que was currently rich, for delicious food, he would gladly
spend the 1 act tough point!
Also, he made a bunch of food ingredients like oil, salt, soy sauce,
vinegar, sesame oil and chilli oil. In the end, he also made a piece of
chopping board and a small knife. After finding a few pieces of garlic
and cilantros, he started to cut them all up on the chopping board.
When eating the Smelly Tofu, other than the tofu itself, the
accompanying sauces were all as important. Therefore, Xu Que decided
to personally make some spicy garlic paste. Since it was made of garlic,
he had to mince them into a paste-like state.
"Chop! Chop! Chopchopchopchop!!!"
Soon after, from the Tower of Souls ,sounds of Xu Que chopping garlic
could be heard. The consecutive tapping sounds of the knife on the
chopping board echoed.
The others outside started to sweat all over and their lips twitched in
disbelief.
Brother! Why are you even here? Are you really treating the Tower of
Souls as a kitchen? He even brought a knife and chopping board. As a
Cultivator, can you be more perceptive of the situation?
"Hah!"
In the tower, Xu Que picked up another pan and started to fry the garlic.
The combination looked very good but the smell of the garlic was still
covered up by the heavy stench of the Smelly Tofu.
A few moments later, he finally finished preparing the sauce. He poured

it into a small jade bowl before scooping up the Smelly Tofus from the
oil pan and placed them inside the bowl one by one.
The skin of the "Chang Sha Smelly Tofu" was black. Although it looked a
bit ugly due to it being a little burnt on the outside, it was soft in the
inside. It had a good texture in the mouth and tasted spectacular!
However, the many Cultivators at the foot of the tower could not
recognize the Smelly Tofu. They tiptoed and l ooked over and were
immediately shocked, breaking out in cold sweat.
"How frightening! It’s a large black piece of poop!"
"This is really quite disgusting!"
"How long did he leave the poop out? Why is it so black in colour?"
"Don’t say anymore, don’t say anymore…"
Everyone did not dare to think about it anymore.
At the same time, Xu Que had already filled the whole bowl with Smelly
Tofus. The fragrance of the sauce was overwhelmed by the stench. But
one would not argue that this is an absolutely authe ntic and delicious
snack.
However, to the rest of the cultivators, it looked like a bowl of fried poop
and it was still steaming…
At this time, Xu Que held up the bowl and took the pair of chopsticks
before walking directly towards the last enduring Cult ivator.
Everyone at the foot of the tower was shocked!
Then they saw Xu Que picking up a piece of black "poop" with his
chopsticks. With smoke still rising from it, he grinned from ear to ear and
brought it towards that Cultivator.
That Cultivator still had his eyes closed and did not witness this scene.
However, he could feel the stench was slowly being stronger…
"Pfff!" In the end, he could not tolerate it anymore. His entire body
trembled and he lost his soul. He was then expelled from the Tower of
Souls.
"You shameless bastard! How dare you use poop to humiliate me?" That
Cultivator appeared at the foot of the tower, abruptly lifted his head and
stared at Xu Que who was in the tower, furiously reprimanding.
Without much care, Xu Que nodded, "You pe ople are ignorant. This is
the exclusive and tasty dish of my Heaven Explosion Faction. My Smelly
Tofu is even more famous than roasted chicken wings. Don’t spout
nonsense if you people don’t appreciate it!"
"Tofu?"
The people outside the tower became stunned, followed by looks of

despise.
"Friend, stop joking already."
"How can you still eat a tofu which has already turned bad?"
"And we haven’t seen a tofu so smelly. Stop pranking us. Eat it if you
have the guts."
"That’s right. If you were really cooking food, we would have nothing
much to say. But now, you are cooking poop and it simply drives us
nuts!"
"Your actions are simply incorrigible!"
Many people started to point fingers at Xu Que and shouted out in

anger.
Xu Que held up his bowl and laughed lightly, "All of you, shut your dog
mouths. You are a bunch of idiots who don’t know their delicacies. Open
your eyes wide! This is called Smelly Tofu and it is absolutely delicious.
The smellier it is, the better it tastes."
Finishing his speech, he picked up a piece and immediately placed it

into his mouth.
Upon biting down, one could see its crunchy exterior and silky interior.
Its juices and that rich flavor filled his mouth.
However…
The Cultivators at the foot of the towers were dumbfounded. T heir faces
were filled with astonishment and their eyes widened bigger than ever.
The bunch of Cultivators from the second stage were also dumbfounded
yet again and stared at Xu Que in shock.
"Too… too scary. Hero Hua is actually eating ‘poop’!"
"Who knew that when he turns fierce, he won’t even let himself off!"
101 He Ate Poop And Laughed So Happily
Chapter 101: He Ate Poop And Laughed So Happily



"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for eating ‘Smelly Tofu’, soul
strength increased by 1%."
"Ding! After validation, host ‘Xu Que’ has successfully cooked ‘Smelly
Tofu’ into a One Star Cuisine."
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for automatically discovering the

Secondary Occupation: ‘Chef’. Rewarded with Secondary Occupation
Giant gift bag x 1!"
"Huh?"
Xu Que became stunned. This chain of system messages made him
confused.
It mentioned raising of the soul strength and also something about One
Star Cuisine. And another one mentioned Secondary Occupation:
"Chef"?
What are all these?
He regained his focus and kept the bowl of Smelly Tofu back into the
System Deposit Storage. He started to check out its properties and
became astounded.
One Star Cuisine, cooked by host ‘Xu Que’, effective for 3 days.
Effect: Can replenish hunger and increase soul strength by 1% (Effect

works only once per day).
"What the hell? I just casually cooked some Smelly Tofu and it had such
a use to it!" Xu Que was elated.
Although he actually did put in effort for the Smelly Tofu, making use of
various sauces, cutting onions and whatnot, along with that jade bowl,
they made the Smelly Tofu dish taste even better.
Although it was only One Star and its effects were nothing extraordinary.
No matter how many pieces he ate everyday, it could only increase the
soul strength once.
But, this allowed Xu Que to discover something new.
Although this One Star Cuisine’s effects were nothing out of the
ordinary, if he managed to make a Three Star or a Four Star delicacy, or
even make a higher rank of cuisines, their effects would be
extraordinary!
"Oh yes! And for that Secondary Occupation Giant Gift Bag… hahaha!
System, let me open and see what’s inside!" Filled with anticipation, Xu
Que entered the system inventory and stared at that big, red gift bag.
A "swish" sounded.
The system interface streaked past various rays of light and several
items appeared in his inventory.
"Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for acquiring the ‘One Star Chef’
Occupation Skill Book. After using, host will be able to cook One Star
Cuisines with 100% probability!"
"Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for acquiring the ‘One Star Musician’
Occupation Skill Book. After using, host will be able to perform One Star
Music Scores with 100% probability!"
"Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for acquiring the ‘One Star Medicine
Refiner’ Occupation Skill Book. After using, host will be able to refine
One Star Medicines with 100% probability!"
"Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for acquiring the ‘One Star Equipment
Refiner’ Occupation Skill Book. After using, host will be able to refine
One Star Equipments with 100% probability!"
"Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for acquiring the ‘One Star A mulet
Maker’ Occupation Skill Book. After using, host will be able to create
One Star Amulets with 100% probability!"
"Damn… I’ve earn it big this time!" Xu Que opened his mouth wide. He
did not expect a fortune to fall upon him so suddenly.
Opening the big gift bag, he received so many Occupation Skill Books in
one go.
It was not that the system store did not sell these Occupation Skill
Books, but it was that they were too expensive. A simple One Star
Occupation Skill Book costed 500 act tough points.
And yet, Xu Que had suddenly acquired five different Occupation Skill
Books at one go. It was equivalent to saving 2500 act tough points.
Moreover, he was able to learn the skills of these five Occupations. It
seems like his luck was bursting!
"Use it, use it all!" Xu Que shouted with excitement.
In a flash, the five Occupation Skill Books were consumed. A

tremendously loud system beep then sounded in Xu Que’s head.
Soon after, when he opened his eyes, he had already learnt the five new
skills. The skills seemed familiar to him as if he was born with them.
The usage of the Chef skill was obvious. It was to cook Cuisines with
attribute bonuses attached.
However, the Musician occupation was quite shocking. It allowed one to

be an expert in many types of ancient musical instruments. For example,
the Ocarina, Fou, Five-string Lute, Pan pipes, Chinese harp, Gu Zheng,
Gu Qin and more. Also, the music being played from the scores had a
direct impact on the moods of others. It could even entirely control the
opposition’s rationality and thinking.
These were definitely very useful. On top of that, all of the Occupation
Skills were essential for acting tough!
Xu Que felt at ease. With a brilliant smile, he felt that this world is
wonderful. Everywhere was filled with opportunities to act tough!
Yet, outside the tower, the Cultivators were stunned after witnessing the
scene.
"Oh my God!"
"Take a look at him. After he ate the poop, he’s laughing so happily."
"How scary!"
"Crazy! This lad is definitely crazy!"
"No. I feel that he is really gutsy and fierce. Terrifying! He is fierce to

the point where he even eats poop just to prove a point!"
"Urgh, I can’t take it anymore… ughhh!"
Suddenly, a few Cultivators outside could not take it anymore and

started leaning over and retching on the spot.
Xu Que witnessed this and without any expression, he stared at them,

"Those of you who puke better not run, I will personally feed you real
shit later."
"..." The few Cultivators, who were still puking, changed their
expressions. They turned and cupped their hands, "Everyone, we have
something to do, we shall take our leave first!"
They quickly turned and rode off with their flying swords.
Xu Que let out a cold sigh and did not bother to chase them down.
He lowered his head and looked at the few remaining Smelly Tofu in the
oil pan. He suddenly let out a slight grin as if something just came to his
mind.
He looked at the people below and laughed, "All my friends, do you want
to know how I improved my soul strength so qu ickly?"
Everybody could not help but stare at him shockingly.
This black robed young man had a breakthrough with his soul strength
at the very last moment. The progress was extremely quick which would
frighten anyone.
One of them could not take it, cupped his hands and replied, "I would
like to know!"
Xu Que stretched out his hand and pointed at the Smelly Tofus in the oil
pan and said while laughing, "It’s because the stuff that I just ate is no
ordinary food. This Smelly Tofu is exclusive only to my H eaven
Explosion Faction and its effects are comparable to One Star Empty Sky
Pills. When you eat it, it can increase your soul strength immediately."
Everybody moved the corner of their lips.
"Friend, stop kidding around."
"We won’t fall for your tricks."
"You are obviously tricking us into eating ‘poop’!"
"No, he actually knows about the Empty Sky Pill. That pill had been lost
in history for a very long time!"
"That’s right. I’ve once read in an ancient text that the Empty Sky Pill
was a type of medicine which could increase one’s soul strength but it
has been lost for thousands of years!"
"Could it be that… what he said was the truth?"
Some of them became suspicious and stared at the pan of Smelly Tofus
at the third level, contemplating. Some of them shook their heads
profusely and would not believe Xu Que’s words under any
circumstances.
Without speaking further, he immediately carried the pan and went down
to the first level. He said, "Everybody, count this as a present from the
Heaven Explosion Faction. After you try it and get the effects, do help
me spread the great name of my faction! As for daring enough to try it
out or not, it’s up to you guys!"
"Yum!" Finishing, he picked up another piece of Smelly Tofu from the oil
pan, slipped it into his mouth and swallowed it. His face was filled with
satisfaction.
Soon after under the startled expressions of everyone, Xu Que turned

and left as he decided to take a walk up the higher levels of the tower.
Because ever since he had increased his soul strength, he had this
strange feeling that at the eighth level, someone was there!
102 Oh My God, This Tastes So Good
Chapter 102: Oh My God, This Tastes So Good

After Xu Que left, the people started to ponder over his words.
Staring at that oil pan, they spoke out doubtfully, "Just now… If I’m not
mistaken, that black stuff actually looked rather li ke tofu."
"This cannot be... that is poop, it’s manure! Guaranteed!"
"But this is still unbelievable. Who in the world will eat ‘poop’?"
Everybody broke out into a discussion but in the end, nobody dared to
check the pan out.
Only that group of Cultivators from the second stage previously started
to look at one another. One of them said, "Why not we go check it out?
Maybe it’s really food which increases our soul strength."
"Yeah! I feel that with that killing-obsessed maniac’s personality, he will

never eat ‘poop’! It is probably as he said. These are all Smelly Tofu."
Another of them nodded.
"Even that murderous maniac dared to eat it. Why shouldn’t we dare?
Also, if it can really improve our soul strength, this would mean that we
are kind of lucky too!"
"Let’s go and try it!"
"It’s no big deal. Many people eat faeces too."
In the end, the few of them had decided to give those "Smelly Tofus" a
try.
They walked out of the crowd with determined faces, while gripping their
fists tightly. They went directly towards the entrance of the Tower of
Soul, while staring at that oil pan!
"Hey, my friends, what are you all… trying to do?"
"Don’t tell me that you believe what that lad said?"
"Don’t go! That thing cannot be eaten!"
"It stinks so much. How are you going to eat it?"
Everybody started to panic and tried to stop them.
The few Cultivators were determined. They had to try it no matter what.
After all, they had to take on the third stage soon. It would be a good
fortune for them if their soul strengths really increased!
"We must try!"
The few of them clenched their fists and walked slowly to arrive before
the pan of Smelly Tofus.
In the face of the stench, their stomachs started to churn and they lost
the courage to eat it all over again.
At last, one courageous man stood out from that group. He quickly
pinched and picked up a piece of Smelly Tofu, closed his eyes tightly
and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Wa!" a person in the crowd started shouting out in surprise.
"What a hero!"
"I admire you fully for having the guts to eat it!"
"Eh?" the Cultivator who ate the Smelly Tofu started to widen his eyes
and his face was filled with astonishment.
"Brother Wu? What’s going on with you?" A few of his accomplices

asked in a panic upon witnessing his weird expression.
However, that Cultivator did not care to answer and his mouth started to
chew quickly.
After swallowing the Smelly Tofu, he abruptly exclaimed, "Oh my God,

this is too delicious! Hero Hua didn’t lie to us! This is really Smelly Tofu.
It smells bad but it’s taste is spectacular. I swear on my soul, this is the
most delicious food I’ve ever eaten!"
Finishing, he stretched out his hand towards the oil pan and took
several pieces of Smelly Tofus.
Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing his words.
It smells bad, but it’s taste is spectacular?
And… He even swore on his soul?
"This is a fine delicacy!"
Those standing around the pan started to react, immediately stretched

out and took a bunch of Smelly Tofus, stuffing them into their mouths
without hesitation.
Immediately, that crunchy exterior, silky and juicy interior texture threw
them into a state of happiness and surprise!
"This… is too delicious!"
"Who knew that in this world, there exists such a peculiar dish. It’s taste
is incomparable!"
"Hahahaha! Hero Hua did not lie to us! My soul strength really
increased."
"Hey, me too!" The few of them started to gasp in surprise and they
were overjoyed. Their gamble was correct.
"What? It is really delicious?"
"And it strengthens one’s soul strength? This can't be..."
"Friends, friends, don’t take everything! Leave some for us to try!"
The group of Cultivators onlooking could not sit still anymore. One by
one, they came forward to try it. Even those Sky Incense Valley
Disciples could not resist and went forward to see what was the
commotion is about.
In the end, after trying it, they immediately let out shouts of surprise and
excitement.
"Damn, this is too delicious!"
"And my soul strength had obviously increased."
"This is really something magical! Who knew that, just a piece of Smelly
Tofu would have such godly effects!"
"Eh? This black piece really looks a bit like poop!"
"Can’t be… it’s the one Hero Hua especially cooked. It you don’t want it,
give it to me."
"That Hero Hua is too good. The Heaven Explosion Faction definitely
possess talented people and all of them must be a blessed son of gods."
"Everyone, could you all leave a few pieces?"
Faced with the excited and overjoyed lot, the large group of
conservative Cultivators could not take it anymore and rushed towards
the oil pan one by one.
Xu Que did not cook many smelly tofus. When they reached there, only
the oil in the pan was left.
This group of conservative Cultivators became annoyed and felt like

crying.
Missing out on such magical food which could even raise one’s soul
strength… What a waste.
"Haha! I still have a piece of it with me. Who wants it? Starting bid is
10,000 Spirit stones. Highest bidder wins!" A Cultivator suddenly raised
his arms and shouted. He was pointing at a piece of the dark Smelly
Tofu.
Everyone saw and quickly gathered around.
"Friend, you are too harsh, 10,000 Spirit Stones? Alright, I’ll take it."
"Wait, I bid 11,000 Spirit Stones"
"I bid 13,000."
"Hmph! 15,000 for me!"
"Damn it! I’ll bid 20,000!"
In a flash, the previously feared Smelly Tofu was instantly treated as a

treasured Elixir. It attracted many people to raise the bid!
Not only it was tasty but more importantly, it was the property it
possessed. It could raise one’s soul strength and this type of attribute
would move countless hearts.
And so, the great name of the Heaven Explosion Faction gradually
started to soar!
However, in the midst of the chaos, no one realized that Xu Que had
already advanced to the fourth level of th e Tower of Soul!



Countless system beeps sounded in Xu Que’s head and he let out a

slight grin.
"Looks like those people had already tried it. However, they should be
unaware that I’ve sneaked some Demon Beast’s manure inside." Xu Que
held in his laughter and took out the bowl he was using with some
Smelly Tofu in it and walked deeper into the fourth level while eating.
After all, his soul strength had already been strengthened by another
60%. In this fourth level, although Xu Que felt a little pressure, he could
still move freely.
But when he was reaching the stairs to the fifth level, his footsteps
became sluggish. He glanced upwards and was shocked.
"Weird… this feeling is becoming more and more intense. Looks like
there is really someone upstairs. Ah… I have to take a look."
103 The More You Don’t Want Me To Go Up, The
More I Want To.
Chapter 103: The More You Don’t Want Me To Go Up, The More I Want
To.
"Chhh!"
At this time, outside the Tower of Souls...
Rays of light started to whiz in the skies and landed on the ground in a
flash.
It was the Sky Incense Valley disciple who left previously. He called for
the Elder who was in charge of the Test Area.
The Elder’s presence surprised everyone outside of the tower.
After all, actually seeing an Infant Transformation Stager was rare for
these Cultivators.There were even Cultivators who had never seen one
before despite having trained for their entire lives.
"What a strong presence. Standing in front of him, I feel like kneeling

down."
"So this is the aura of an Infant Transforma tion Stager. How frightening!"
"If I succeed in joining the Sky Incense Valley and go under the
guidance of a strong Infant Transformation Stager, it would really be
beneficial for me!"
Everybody discussed among themselves quietly and focused their

attentions on the Elder.
"The Seventh Elder has arrived!"
Upon the Elder’s arrival, all the Sky Incense Valley Disciples at the
scene started to kneel and paid their respects!
However, the Elder suddenly held his nose and frowned, "What’s this
smell?"
One of the disciple quickly replied, "Reporting to Elder. This was a

delicacy a black robed young man cooked. Its name is the Smelly Tofu. I
got a piece, but did not manage to try it yet."
Finishing, he opened his palm and presented a piece of very dark-

colored Smelly Tofu.
"This is regarded as a delicacy?" The Seventh Elder pouted his lips.
On his way here, he had already heard about the situation from a few of
his disciples. However, after personally looking at this piece of Smelly
Tofu and smelling that choking stench, he still felt that this was
unbelievable.
"I initially didn’t believe it myself… Although it smells really bad, it tastes
wonderful. It even increased one’s soul strength!" The Sky Incense
disciple respectably replied.
"Increase soul strength?" The Seventh Elder was surprised. He waved

his hand and the piece of dark-coloured Smelly Tofu floated into his
palm.
Everybody’s eyes followed the Smelly Tofu. They inevitably let out
envious looks and some of them unknowingly licked their lips.
The Seventh Elder stared at that piece of Smelly Tofu suspiciously and
yet could not find anything unusual with it.
Perhaps it was the countless passionate and burning eyes which were
staring upon this piece of Smelly Tofu, but after a few moments, he
popped the Smelly Tofu into his mouth.
At the next moment, his muddy eyes widened, and was filled with
astonishment!
"It is indeed very delicious, and… there is a mysterious force coming

from it. It’s as if the force is starting to affect my soul.No, that’s not
right, this… this magical food is nourishment for the soul!" The Seventh
Elder was shocked.
The Sky Incense Valley was renowned for its expertise in refining
medicine. However, for medicine which could nourish the soul, they had
only one type. Furthermore, that medicine had a very low chance of
being refined into a pill. Even after refining, it would be kept in the Sect
as a treasure and cannot be taken out easily for use.
But now, a mere piece of Smelly tofu, a weird looking food, had the
effect of nourishing one’s soul strength. This fact shocked him deeply.
"Little friend Hua!" The Seventh Elder immediately lifted his head and
called for Xu Que who was looking around his surroundings at the fourth
level.
Xu Que was pondering if there was really somebody upstairs. When The
Seventh Elder called out, he gave Xu Que a shock. He stared and
chided, "Hua your sister! Do you need to be so loud?"
"Screw that!"
Everybody was stunned as they took a deep breath and stared at Xu

Que in shock. They wondered to themselves when did this lad get to the
fourth level? And was he tired of living? How dare he talk this way to the
Elder of the Sky Incense Valley?

Xu Que apparently had acted tough unintentionally and it was to great
success.
However, the Seventh Elder did not get angry. He even bore an
apologetic tone and laughed embarrassedly, "Small friend Hua, do not
get angry. It was indeed I who was being rude. May I know if you are
free to come down? This old man has got something to ask of you!"
"Not free. Can’t you see me being busy passing through the levels?" Xu
Que rejected without hesitation.
The Seventh Elder panicked, "Friend Hua, this old man here is the Elder
of the Sky Incense Valley and I am ranked the Seventh out of the
Elders. Actually, you are already qualified to become one of our Elite
Disciples. I’ll count you as having passed this stage. You don’t need to
continue on already."
"Nope, I am a man with principles. If I want to move up, it means I will. I

won’t give up until I reach the highest level!" Xu Que replied with
resolution.
Everybody was stunned.
"The Elder did not flare up? And he apologized?"
"And… Did I hear wrongly? The Elder had already termed him as an
Elite Disciple and yet he rejected?"
"What is this lad doing?"
"I really cannot read his mind!"
The Sky Incense Disciples were in shock too and stared upwards at Xu
Que blankly.
At this time, Xu Que wanted to turn around and leave.
The Seventh Elder asked in panic, "Friend Hua, I’ll wait for you to get to
the fifth level. Could we go to the stone house and have a chat later?"
"Fifth level? Are you kidding me? My plan is to reach the tenth level.
Stop talking to me already. I need to pee urgently and I will relieve it at
the top of the tower. All of you better hide properly later!" Xu Que
finished, disappeared from the tower window and immediately rushed up
to the fifth level.
The Seventh Elder and other Cultivators were al l speechless.
Reach the tenth level? And to pee from the top of the tower? Why don’t
you pee from the heavens?
Reaching the fifth level would be already considered as an amazing feat

for normal Cultivators. After all, no matter how strong one’s soul was,
there were limits.
Even for this Seventh Elder from the Sky Incense Valley, his best record
was reaching the middle of the seventh level!
"The more one goes up, the higher and more terrifying the pressure will
be on one’s soul. Nevermind. He’ll understand when he reaches the fifth
level." The Seventh Elder shook his head and muttered to himself.
At the same time, the Sky Incense Valley Disciples quickly moved up the
transparent tower windows as Xu Que’s image emerged on the fifth
level.
He had already moved to the middle of the fifth level. It looked like the
pressure was huge as if he was carrying something on his shoulder
while walking. Although his movements were slow, he was still able to
advance.
Everybody was dumbfounded at the sight!
"How… how could this be?"
"He is still able to advance on the fifth level?

"Is he really trying to reach the sixth level? Oh my god! How is this
happening?" The Sky Incense Valley disciples exclaimed.
Even the Seventh Elder blanked out and became awestricken.


However, Xu Que still continued inching fo rward.
He was indeed feeling a considerable amount of pressure. It felt like he

was walking through a swamp and every step felt heavy and difficult to
take.
However, it was still bearable for him. Also, he could faintly feel that his
soul strength was resisting the pressure and that it was slowly
strengthening. Although small, it was big enough for him to realize the
change.
Before long, he had reached the stairs to the sixth level. He looked up
and hesitated a little.
"If I continue going up, I’ll have to purchase a Dark Jade Dew again.
Should I buy it or not?"
"Friend Hua, who knew that you have such strong soul strength at such
a young age? You have my respects. However, you shouldn’t move up
to the sixth level. It’s not a place for young people." The Seventh Elder
advised from below the tower.
Xu Que heard it and immediately became unhappy.
"Screw you rotten old man! You dare to provoke me? The more you
don’t want me to go up, the more I want to!" He reprimanded in his head
and immediately spent 500 act tough points to exchange for a drop of
the Dark Jade Dew. He swallowed it straight and advanced towards the
sixth level.
The Seventh Elder’s expression changed. He called out, "Friend Hua,

don’t do it! I am really not kidding with you. The sixth level’s soul
pressure is really powerful. If your soul strength is not strong enough, it
will can be crushed by the pressure even before the Tower of Souls
could send you out."
Xu Que suddenly stopped, turned and looked downwards through the

tower windows. He faintly laughed, "So what?"
Everyone was astounded!
In the next moment, Xu Que’s expression became impassioned. He

tilted his head slightly, looked up into the sky and exclaimed resoundly,
"In this life, I have to be the best person who ever existed. E ven when I
die, I will be an heroic ghost. As I tread along this path, I cannot let this
mere Tower of Souls stop me from my dreams!"
Finishing his speech, he turned his body resolutely and marched

upwards!
What was left were shocked faces at the foot of the tower. The stupefied
group of Cultivators were thrown into complete disarray!
104 Tempering Of The Soul Strength
Chapter 104: Tempering Of The Soul Strength

"In this life, I have to be the best person who ever existed. Even when I
die, I will be an heroic ghost." What a good and famous saying from the
ancient times! Who knew that he is a man of talent and possessed the
gift of gab!"
"That’s right. Moreover, he also possess a strong and fearless heart and
was always pressing forward."
"What a figure to be admired!"
"No wonder that he is so powerful. We aren’t comparable to him and we

should be ashamed!"
Many Cultivators, one by one, started to sigh regretfully. They were won
over by Xu Que’s lofty and imposing attitude before he left for the next
stage.
On the other hand, the group of Cultivators who had followed Xu Que
from the second stage and even the Seventh Elder were at loss for
words!
They knew about the incident back at the second stage and the number
of people he killed effortlessly. Similarly, he displayed a no-fear-for-
death attitude and also said that he wanted to walk the path of the
strong. He even wanted to fight over hundreds of Cultivators to the last
drop of blood. In the end, he decimated everyone with a single move
and left just like that.
And now, this lad is telling all of them here that he wanted to walk the
path of the strong and talking big again. What rubbish! Who would
believe his nonsense this time!
"However, Hero Hua is in for a big challenge this time. He must’ve never
heard of the saying before. This Tower of Soul is regarded by others as
‘The lowest five levels of the human world and the top five levels of
hell!’"
"Yes. Although the first five levels are quite difficult to pass, any genius
with strong soul strength will be able to complete them. But for the top
five levels, it cannot simply be cleared by being a genius. Those top five
levels are regarded as hell."
"Rumors say that normally, Infant Transformation Stagers would only be
able to withstand the sixth level in an incense stick’s burning time. To be
able to reach the seventh level, one would need to be one of the more
well-known or stronger Infant Transformation Stagers."
"Oh dear. Looks like this time, Hero Hua will have to take some pain."
Several of them started to discuss quietly.
The Seventh Elder was burning with anxiousness. He had discovered

that Xu Que was indeed a good young sapling and wouldn’t stand by
and let him send himself to his death. He immediately ordered to a few
disciples, "Why are you all not opening the tower door?"
The disciples had bitter looks, "Elder, the Tower of Souls w as last
modified by you. The moment it closes, it will only open again after the
last person has been expelled!"
"This..." The Seventh Elder was at a loss of words. He furiously flung his
sleeves and wished that he could give himself a slap on his face.
He felt that if he were to lose such a good young potential sapling like
Xu Que due to his modification, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"What am I supposed to do?" The Seventh Elder was panicking and

stared closely at the higher part of the tower.
The tower windows could only be opened up until the fifth level. Beyond
that, everything was enclosed.
The reason was due to how intense the soul pressure was from the sixth
level onwards. If the windows were opened, the pressure will start to
rush out of the tower and destroy the tower windows’ restrictive powers!
As such, no one was able to see Xu Que and could only gaze at the
wooden tile floating outside the tower.
That wooden tile was an indication of Xu Que’s condition. If it remained
afloat, it meant that his soul strength was still doing good and is able to
withstand the pressure.
But how long could he endure? Many of them started to guess in their
minds.
In a breath’s time? Two breaths’ time? At most… three? That’s the

maximum they could guess.
However, after many moments, the wooden tile was still floating outside
the tower and did not move.
Everybody was flabbergasted!
"What, this… this can’t be?"
"He is still not out yet!"
"Looking at the wooden tile, it seems like he is really enduring the sixth
level’s pressure."
"This is really shocking. There is someone with such strong soul

strength in this world?"
Voices full of astonishment started to echo.
The Seventh Elder was amazed too. In the numerous years that he had
lived, he had seen countless of talents grow up. The Elder had seen the
Empress of the Water Nation grow up from a young girl to a mighty
cultivator that she was today.
But now, the wise and experienced Elder was in shock. A mere Golden
Core Stager who was at Full Foundation was able to hold his own in the
sixth level. If news of this were to spread, not only it would shake the
entire Five Nations, it would even surprise powerful people throughout
the lands.
"We’ve profited! We’ve profited! This time, our Sky Incense Valley has
profited big. Who knew that this kid’s gifted talents would totally surpass
my expectations!" The Elder’s eyes were filled with anticipation and
excitement.


At the same time, the system beep resounded in Xu Que’s mind. He was
currently at the sixth level, had cold sweat all over him and was
trembling from head to toe.
Before coming up from the fifth level, he had already drank a dose of the
‘Dark Jade Dew’. It was the second time he had strengthened his soul
strength by 60%. However, when he stepped into the sixth level, he still
felt a crack in his soul and was extremely close to losing his mind!
He had underestimated the pressure of the sixth floor. Luckily for him,
he was able to rapidly adapt to the crushing pressure of the sixth level.
"Ding! Evaluated host’s present situation . If host stays at the current

level for half an hour, his soul strength will automatically be tempered
and will be strengthened by 50%!"
The system message sounded just as Xu Que was hesitating to spend

another 500 act tough points to exchange for his th ird drop of the Dark
Jade Dew.
Xu Que was stunned and became overjoyed, "Stopping for half an hour
will strengthen my soul strength by 50%? Damn! Of course I will do it!"
This way, he could save a big sum of act tough points. Furthermore, he
would be able to continue on to the seventh level without worries. Why
shouldn't he be happy?
Furthermore, Xu Que had realized that the soul crushing pressure
present on the sixth level was far more terrifying than the fifth floor.
However, he did not expect that it would allow the system to introduce
him a new function. He could make use of this immense pressure to
automatically temper his soul strength.
If such a fortune had befallen on him at the sixth level, wouldn’t it be

even better as he climbed up the seventh , eighth and higher levels?
"I want this 50% added to my soul strength. I also want my soul to be
tempered for the next few levels!"
Xu Que shouted in his head and continued to grind his teeth as he

forged on.
Gradually, he exerted all his strength to move forward. He concentrated

his soul strength into a round ball and resisted his way through against
the menacing pressure.
Before long, half an hour had gone by.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully tempering with

his soul strength. Soul strength is strengthened by 50%!"
Boom!
With the system beep sounding in his head, Xu Que started to feel an
explosion in his brain, entering into a white, blank space akin to the
splitting of the heavens and the space turned even more vast.
Xu Que quivered and abruptly regained his focus as the shackling

chains of pressure instantly broke.
He started to feel at ease again, almost as if he had just been pulled to

the shore from drowning at sea and was able to breathe a breath of
fresh air.
Xu Que could feel the fatigue creeping up on him and sat down on the
ground before picking up a piece of Smelly Tofu from his bowl and
started to eat.
After feeling full and rested, Xu Que finally decided to start moving.
Without any hesitation, he strode towar ds the stairs leading to the
seventh floor.
"I shall thoroughly clear all the levels of this Tower of Souls and
ruthlessly earn a big load of soul strength and act tough points!"
105 Damn, I’m Stuck!
Chapter 105: Damn, I’m Stuck!

Half an hour later, Xu Que’s wooden tile was floating at the sixth level.
Everyone outside of the Tower of Soul was staring at the tile without
feeling the slightest boredom. Instead, they were filled with anticipation
and even a tinge of nervousness.
"That guy is tough! Half an hour had already passed but he is still
holding his ground at the sixth level."
"This is already considered a big accomplishment. No matter how much

more he’s able to endure, he has already broken records amongst all
geniuses and prodigies from the Five Nations!"
"That's right. From what I've heard, there was a Nine Star Weapon
Forger who cultivated to the Golden Core Stage Full Foundation at a
young age and had reached the sixth level of the Tower of Soul. Upon
stepping into the sixth level, he was immediately expelled by the tower.
Despite that, he was still the top record holder amongst the Five Nations
who had came for the trial."
"Who knew that this record would be broken by a Golden Core Full
Foundation Stager from our Fire Nation. Apart from just reaching the
sixth floor, he is currently still holding his own after half an hour. It is
definitely an honor to our Nation!"
"How long more do you all think he can endure?"
"Maybe soon. After all, it's already been half an hour."
"No matter how much of a talent he is, I reckon that he will be out within
the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
"That's right. Pushing oneself in the tower will injure one’s soul. This
injury is irreversible and can cause one to be handicapped for life. It's
not worth it."
Everybody was discussing among themselves. They all felt that Xu Que
will be expelled very soon.
However, the Seventh Elder was sweating in his palms and feeling very
anxious. His eyes were focused on the tower, even though he couldn't
see what was happening.
"Who knew that the Sky Incense Valley would be blessed with such
fortune. A hundred years ago, we had a genius who possessed the Ice
Element Spiritual Qi, who had since become the Water Nation’s
Empress. And now, we’re on the verge of having someone who would
become at least a Nine Star Alchemist!" The Elder was absolutely
excited. Being able to endure the sixth level for half an hour at the
Golden Core Stage showed that his Soul Strength was very powerful. If
he joined the Sky Incense Valley and took on the path of alchemy, the
Sect could become the chief Sect of the East Continent within a hundred
years!
"Whoosh!"
At this time, the wooden tile looming the tower suddenly moved!
Everybody looked up and immediately opened their mouths with shock.

They were at a loss for words.
"How is that possible?"
"Damn!"
"Am I dreaming?"
Everybody could not take it and started to spew vulgarities to vent their
overwhelming disbelief and shock.
The Seventh Elder heard the commotion. He lifted his head and looked
towards the Tower of Soul with a blank expression
"Eh? Where’s the wooden tile at the sixth floor?"
He immediately looked up a little and was dumbfounded.
"Seve-seventh level?!" The Seventh Elder let out a scream. His voice
cracked and he felt like his heart had exploded.
For a Golden Core Stage Cultivator to reach the seventh level, how was
this possible?
"No, no, this is impossible. Throughout my entire life, I’ve been on the
path of Alchemy. I’ve consumed countless of medicines which nourished
my Soul Strength. Even then, I was only able to barely reach the
seventh level of the Tower of Soul. This black robed young man is only
in his teens. It isn’t possible for him to be reaching this point." The Elder
was astonished and his voice started to tremble in shock.
The few Sky Incense Valley disciples at the side were also stunned and
their minds went blank.
Moments ago, they were just trying to guess how much longer could Xu
Que could stay at the sixth level. However, before they knew it, that lad
had already reached the seventh level.
Without any warning or preparation for this test , he was effortlessly
reaching for the heavens!
"El-elder, he… he has already reached the seventh level."
"Eh?... Ah! Yes! I saw it."
"No, Elder, the Water Empress is currently meditating on the eighth

level. If he…"
"Hmm…" The Elder was stunned for a moment and then shook his head
and replied, "Rest assured. The seventh level will be his limit. Even if
it’s not, the entrance of the eighth level has already been sealed. He
won’t be able to pass through it."
...



At this time, a chain of system beeps sounded in Xu Que’s head.
However, he was too busy to bother with the beeps. The reason he
couldn't care less was because his entire body was flat on the ground of
the seventh floor, with his face sticking to the ground like glue.
It was fortunate that nobody was around to witness him in this sorry
state. If not, he would be a huge laughing stock.
The soul power was now thick to the point where a fog was loomed
overhead, completely suppressing Xu Que. He felt that his Spirit had
already been crushed like shattered glass.
However, he grit his teeth and allowed the system to start its auto
tempering function.
If he endured for just another half an hour, his soul strength would
strengthen by 80% which was a whole 30% higher than when he was at
the sixth level!
"Bring it on. Crush me if you dare. If not, when I reach the top, I’ll
definitely piss on the whole lot of you!" Xu Que grit his teeth and cursed.
His voice was rather hoarse as the pressure had affected his throat.
At this point, Xu Que was separated from the eighth level by a mere
single ceiling.
A lady who looked graceful and a beauty to die for, was seated there.
Her surroundings were evidently sealed off and she was in a state of
cultivation. The air around her body was filled with an air of austerity
and emits a bone chilling aura.
As if detecting a sudden movement, the lady abruptly opened her eyes.
Her pair of eyes had a certain depth, with pupils dark as night. It looked
as if her eyes were all-encompassing and contained the entire universe.
One could even say that her eyes embraced the revolving sun, the moon
and the stars. It was both mysterious and attractive at the same time!
"That sound just now. Could it be… my Heart’s Demons?" The lady
creased her brows slightly and thought to herself. She proceeded to
close her eyes again and did not move the slightest after.
Before long, half an hour had elapsed.
Xu Que emerged victorious once again as he increased his soul strength

by another 80%. In an instant, he jumped up from the ground. He tilted
his head upwards slightly, looking proud and aloof.
With a look of despise, he disdainfully glanced at the thin "misty clouds"

and sneered, "You are not qualified to touch even a strand of my hair.
How naive of you!"
Finishing his sentence, he patted the dust off his chest area and
advanced towards the staircase to the eighth level.
With the way he walked, one could say that he looked especially
arrogant. It was as if there was the characters "I am unrivalled in this
world" written on his forehead and he had completely forgotten about
the fact that he had been forced to the ground by the "misty clouds", for
half an hour.
Luckily, those "misty clouds" had no intellect. If not, they w ould have
charged towards him and give his smug face a thorough thrashing,
followed by a reply of "Screw your tough acting!"
However, as Xu Que strutted and reached the staircase, he felt an

invisible wall preventing him from walking further.
With a loud "bang" sound, he unknowingly slammed into the wall. A

sharp pain enveloped his entire face, particularly his nose.
"What the hell? What a despicable trick to set up a barrier here!" Xu Que
rubbed his nose and stared at the stairs in suspicion.
He had already confirmed that there was somebody at the eighth floor.
Although he could only feel it faintly previously, he was able to fully
sense the presence now with his current soul strength.
"But, if there is somebody inside, why would there be restrictions set

up?" Xu Que touched his chin and started to ponder.
In the end, he came up with two conclusions. One was that a person
was being confined within. The other was… that there were many
valuable treasures hidden in the next level!
"I choose the second conclusion. The barrier seems so secretive, which
means there must be something good hidden upstairs. I also want to
continue upwards to continually increase my soul strength." Xu Que thus
decided to check it out and was insistent on his decision.
He stretched out his hand and touched the barrier. He pushed lightly
and immediately felt an opposing force on the other end.
"This looks like the lever theory, the more power I use, the stronger the
opposing force. What if I use all my power?" Xu Que thought for a
moment. He took a firm stance, closed his eyes at the same time and
gathered all his soul strength within his body.
Whoosh!
A boundless wave of spiritual energy condensed into one. A shape of

what looked like giant and formless palm immediately appeare d before
Xu Que.
He chanted in his head and used the formless soul strength to slowly
push against the restrictive barrier!
Unsurprisingly, the barrier caved inwards and did not return back to its
previous position.
"Hehe… trying to play such tricks with me. You’ve found the wrong
person to do it." Xu Que laughed coldly. He slowly pushed inwards with
his soul strength.
It was as if his entire being was in a rubber band and he was pushing
against it slowly. The further in he advanced, the stronger resistance he
felt on his soul!
However, hard efforts would never fail. Xu Que used his tremendous
soul strength to push the barrier inwards and tried to climb up to the
eighth floor.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, an explosion could be heard. The barrier was broken. Xu Que

was being pushed into the eighth floor by an overwhelming force.
"Huh?"
Within layers of the hazy clouds of mist, two faint sounds could be
heard.
One was from Xu Que and another was from a blurry figure within the
clouds of mist.
Xu Que saw the figure and started to fly forward towards it along with
the tremendous pressure stacked on him. However, he did not stop
charging ahead.
After inching close to the figure, when he was close enough to touch it,
Xu Que realized that there was an ice wall blocking. And… his entire
body crashed into it head-on.
"Bang!"
Another loud noise followed. Xu Que crashed through and emerged,

landing right in front of the figure. He was just less than a dozen
centimeters away, but he noticed that his entire body was unable to
move. As if there was an invisible force pushing against him from all
sides, he was stuck at the very spot he was at!
"Damn, I’m stuck!" Xu Que cursed in his head and looked over his back,
taking a look at the person seated right in front of him.
The both of them were practically looking at one another eye to eye. At
the next moment, both of the were stumped.
Xu Que’s heart felt like it was being hammered aggressively and almost
exploded out of his mouth!
In front of him was a lady, who had cream-like texture skin and has a
beauty that was out of this world.
What was more important was that, this out -of-this-world beauty, was
currently naked and didn’t wear a single article of cloth on her body. She
was seated on the ground and also stared back at Xu Que in
astonishment.
At this moment, Xu Que’s mind was blank. Ever since he entered this
realm, he had seen many pretty women. For example, Xiao Rou, Su Yun
Lan and also the Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan.
But, this lady’s complexion and demeanor had totally won and was far
superior to all the rest of the women he had ever seen.
She was extremely gorgeous to the point that a thought appeared in Xu

Que’s mind: "This woman can only be fucked by a Saint"!
At the same time, facing this flawless body, Xu Que’s lower body
naturally and politely hardened expressing his utmost respect and
admiration from the depths of his heart!
106 Lady, Hurry And Watch Me Act Tough!
Chapter 106: Lady, Hurry And Watch Me Act Tough!

Xu Que was in disbelief that such a beautiful, flawless woman existed!
Even though he had read countless novels in his previous life which ha d
described and portrayed many women who were devastatingly beautiful,
he felt that such characters only appeared in novels and nobody in the
real world would be so perfect.
However, he had witnessed it with his very own eyes today.
The facial features on this woman were like that of a beautiful painting.
She had a fair and smooth cheeks and her face brought about an
oriental feel along with a tinge of a matured and composed femininity.
She also had a poised and dignified grace to her which only someone of
a high position with influence and power would have.
Yet, this imposing manner she brought about was not overly intense.
She possessed more of an extensive, mild and lukewarm presence. Her
image could be portrayed by the words, "A motherly model of the world".
The Flaming Sun Princess also possessed a similar air of high authority.
But compared with the woman right in front of him, the Flaming Sun
Princess appears to be uncivilized and was no match for this woman’s
imposing aura!
Just as Xu Que was lost in his thoughts while staring at the lady in front
of him, her pair of eyes moved and fixated themselves upon him.
She was shocked when it all first happened, but her eyes started to
reveal a certain impossible calmness which resembled a graceful
flowing water. She muttered softly to herself.
"Something’s not right. This pretty boy is only at the Golden Core Stage
Full Foundation. How is he able to reach the eighth level? Who knew
that my Heart’s Demons would arrive so quickly! But I've already been in
secluded Cultivation for several months. Today is the day that I was
supposed to unleash the Ice Element Spiritual Qi from my body and is a
critical moment to reconstruct the Infant Transformation from my Nirvana
state. I cannot afford to have any distractions disrupting the process. On
top of that, I've never exposed my body in such a way to outsiders
before. Could it be that… This is my heart’s weakness which caused my
Heart’s Demons to appear?"
"But… even the Heart’s Demons has its flaws. My state of mi nd was
disturbed slightly just now but it didn't pose much of a problem. I should
be glad that my illusionary Heart’s Demons is at a mere Golden Core
Stage. If it was at the Infant Transformation Stage, I would've fallen for
the illusion and my soul strength would be shaken, ultimately ruining all
my efforts. Since I’ve already seen through this young man’s true form, I
need not care about it anymore."
After her thoughts, the woman closed her eyes again, emptied her
thoughts and reentered into her state of Cultivation again.
As for her identity, she was naturally the most outstanding female
genius of the Sky Incense Valley. She was the current Empress of the
Water Nation, Hong Yan!
However, there was a limit to Xu Que’s imagination. Although he knew

that this lady’s status was probably remarkable, he would have never
guessed that she was the all-powerful Empress.
At this time, in the face of a naked lady sitting in front of him, although
he had thoroughly checked her out from top to bottom, she did not seem
to be bothered. She stayed calm and composed and continued to
cultivate.
Xu Que was flabbergasted all of a sudden.
Could this be a norm over here? Are ladies here not afraid to be seen
naked?
Dang, how open-minded! How sick! How indecent!
I should have come earlier and criticize their wrongdoings and given
them a lesson on life!
However, the priority was to get out of being trapped within these clouds
of mist. He was definitely in an awkward situation!
"Hey, gorgeous?" Wanting to get out of his si tuation, Xu Que looked

towards the lady and called out gently.
However, the Empress had assumed that he was just an illusion - her
Heart’s Demons. She did not care to hear or look at him and remained in
a calm and tranquil state. She did not move a single inch.
Even her long eyelashes didn’t move the slightest.

Xu Que pouted his lips and tried to jerk his body. However, with the
tremendous pressure forced upon him, he was stuck in the middle and
could not move a single inch, let alone try to squeeze his way out.
Feeling impatient, Xu Que had no choice but to ask call out again,
"Lady, I’m stuck and cannot pull myself up. Give me a hand here."
"..." The Empress did not budge!
Xu Que continued to call out, "Lady, help to pull me up. I’m really stuck."
"..." The Empress did not react. However, her eyelashes started to
twitch several times.
Xu Que had just ate the Smelly Tofu before coming up. Being just over
ten centimetres away from the Empress, the stench immediately
emerged from his mouth when he spoke.
The Empress could not help but to slightly move her pupils and knit her
elegant eyebrows, as if being offended by the smell. She muttered to
herself in her head in shock, "How can the Heart’s Demons formed this
time be so powerful? It can even emit a stench? Wasn’t it just an
illusion? Not good… my mind is a little disturbed. I can’t be distracted
any further!"
She immediately concentrated her energy again, emptied her mind and
entered into a state of Cultivation.
Upon seeing her acting so coldly, Xu Que became annoyed.
He sneered, "Lady, are you deaf? Or are you unable to move? Quickly
save me. If you do, I will treat you to some Smelly Tofu and barbequed
chicken wings as thanks."
"..."
"You don’t like them? How about I make a poem for you?"
"..."
"Lady, your appearance makes me enraptured, your face looks exquisite

and doesn’t look wrinkled! Eh, how’s that? Does it sounds like it rhyme?
It’s my first time constructing a poem!"
"..."
"Are you really unable to speak? You could at least blink to re spond to
me!"
"..."
"Move a little bit. Fuck me… You really can’t do it?"
"..."
"Sigh… the morals of the public are degenerating each day. Nobody
care from their hearts anymore! Lady, with your beauty, why aren’t you a
little more warmhearted? Do you know anything about doing heroic
deeds? How about helping others when they are in need?"
"..." The Empress still didn’t budge.
Fortunately, the Empress had a steady and strong mind and was not
easily affected by external factors.
If it was anybody else, trying to cultivate in seclusion while having to

hear Xu Que’s nagging, it would have caused anyone to break their form
and even rushed forward to give him a savage beating.
"Damn you! You are a tough one. Hmph! If you refuse to save me, I will
save myself then!" Xu Que reprimanded in his head. He brought out the
system and asked, "System, any idea to help me out of this situation?"
"Ding! Host, you will only have to wait half an hour. After the tempering
of the soul strength is finished, your soul strength will improve by 100%!
Also, you will be able to purchase 8 drops of the Dark Jade Dew. With
the both combined, you will have no need to bother with the pressure on
this level!" The system replied.
Xu Que immediately widened his eyes and exclaimed in his head, "8
drops of Dark Jade Dew? What the hell? Are you trying to rob me!"
The 8 drops of Dark Jade Dew will cost a whole 4000 act tough points!
He originally had 4000 over act tough points. However, to reach this
level, he had already purchased 2 drops of Dark Jade Dew and was left
with 3000 over act tough points. He could not afford anymore!
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have went up this stupid eighth level! I
thought I could save a big bunch of act tough points. Who knew that I
would have only gained soul strength, but make such a big loss on the
act tough points." Xu Que was feeling a little vexed. He then looked at
the lady who was inches away from him and suddenly thought of an
idea.
"No, I definitely have to act tough in front of you! If not, god knows how
long I will be stuck here! What if the 49 Heavenly Tribulations happen a
few days later and I’m still stuck? Won’t I be hacked to death while
being stuck here?" Xu Que thought to himself and made his choice.
"System, help me to think of an idea to allow me to move around. Even

a small area is fine!"
"Ding! You can buy 1 drop of the Dark Jade Dew!"
"Any free or cheaper alternatives?" Xu Que asked bitterly.
"This is already the cheapest solution. After the Host consumes the Dark
Jade Dew, you will be able to have a square meter’s activity area. Half
an hour later, after your soul strength is tempered, you can acquire 3
square meter’s activity area!"
"...Alright, I’ll buy one drop. And didn’t I earn the nickname of the ‘Act
Tough Criminal’? Can I get a 10% off?"
"Ding! The prices of the system store’s items have already been
discounted!"
"..." What an unscrupulous black market. You’re so black, I'm actually

pissed.
Xu Que grievously cursed in silence and proceeded to purchase a drop

of the Dark Jade Dew. He then consumed it.
Quickly, he felt something change in his mind and his soul strength
expanded by 60%.
At the same time, the feeling of being shackled was broken in an

instant. The clouds of mist slowly floated away from him and retreated a
square meter away. Xu Que had finally regained his freedom.
"Although it’s only a square meter, but as a master of acting tough, I will
never lose my edge just because of the restricted space!"
Xu Que pouted, looked at the lady who was seated in front of him and
exclaimed, "Lady, hurry and watch me act tough!"
Empress: "..."
Xu Que concentrated his gaze and focused his attention on the

Empress.
Eh, it’s nothing much. It’s just that the view was superb and so he
looked at her for a while longer.
After some time, Xu Que stopped staring, and regained his decent aura
of a nobleman. He reached into his system inventory and started to
throw items out. These items were all kinds of tools to act tough!
107 Xu Que: The Empress’ Heart Demon

Chapter 107: Xu Que: The Empress’ Heart Demon

At the same time, there was utter silence outside the tower.
Everyone stared at Xu Que’s wooden tile blankly, which rose up to the

position of the eighth level. The entire scene was silent that even a pin
dropping could be heard.
With Xu Que breaking record after record, everybody had be come numb
to him moving up yet another level!
He advanced to the sixth level from the fifth, and after staying there for
half an hour, he entered the seventh level. In the end, after another half
an hour, he rose to the eighth level.
The people’s astonishment started to turn into fear.
"That… that lad... What kind of monster is he?"
"The eighth floor, oh my god. I must be in a dream. If not, how is it

possible for a Golden Core Staged youth to reach the eighth level of the
Tower of Souls?"
"A world ranked genius has emerged from our Fire nation!"
"With such soul strength, his name will spread all around the world in no
time."
"Not only that. With his current record, the name Hua Wu Que from the
Heaven Explosion Faction will shake the entire Five Natio ns!"
"The Sky Incense Valley will also benefit from this. With such a talent,
their Sect will be blessed with fortune!"
"Who knows if the other two big Sects will come and try to snatch this
talent away."
"How envious I am right now!"
Everybody started to exclaim in admiration.
Only the few Sky Incense Valley disciples, along with the Seventh Elder,
were horrified!
All of them had ashen faces, including the Seventh Elder. They opened
their mouths wide in disbelief.
"How… how could this be possible? The entrance to the eighth level had
clearly been sealed. How… how was he able to get in?" The Seventh
Elder looked at the few Sky Incense Valley disciples.
The few of them were stunned and bitterly replied, "Elder, we are certain
that we had set up the restrictive barrier without mistakes."
"Then how could this happen? If he disturbed the Empress while

clearing the level, we will be in deep trouble!" The Seventh Elder was as
panicky as an ant on hot stove. He retreated a few steps and started to
sweat all over.
The Water Nation Empress was their most remarkable disciple to date.
On top of that, with her current position, she was a very important figure
for the Sky Incense Valley. If something disrupted her Cultivation, it
would become a big loss for them.
As for Xu Que, he was the most talented individual ever since the
ancient days, having been able to reach the eighth level of the Tower of
Souls at the Golden Core Stage Full Foundation. They could not afford
to lose such a good young sapling!
Burning with anxiety, the Seventh Elder was stuck in a dilemma.
Also, he had no way to see what was happening at the eighth floor from
the tower windows. His personal record was the seventh floor.
Therefore, even if he wanted to personally enter and check the situ ation,
he wouldn’t be able to.
"Perhaps… there is something wrong with the Tower of Souls? Yes, this
must be the case. Possibly, when I changed the rules of the tower, it
affected the position of the wooden tile. Maybe that young man is still
currently at the sixth floor." The Seventh Elder started to console
himself.
However, he could not be confident with his words. In the end, after
hesitating for a while, he decided to report the situation to the higher
authorities.
"The few of you stay here. I need to take a leave for a while!" After
giving orders to the few Sky Incense Valley disciples, he floated
upwards and disappeared in mid air.
At the same time, inside the eighth level of the Tower of Souls...
Although he had a square meter to move around, there was still a layer
of cloud mist separating him from the Empress and he was unable to
advance further.
If not, this guy would have already passionately rushed over and gave
her a thorough body check-up.
With the separation, Xu Que naturally continued to act tough.
He took out a big bunch of items from the System’s inventory.
Things like charcoal, barbeque grill, peanut oil, soy sauce, chicken
wings… he took all of them out and made a big commotion out of it.
Quickly, he sat down on the ground, took a small firewood and started to
drill it against another piece of wood.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle..." He started to drill the firewood to make fire.

To someone who was cultivating in seclusion, this was definitely an
annoying sound.
However, with the Empress’ calm and tranquil mind, it seemed as if she
was not affected in any way. She was calm as water and bore the
hardship with equanimity. One could say that she was as well disposed
as a river!
"Keke!"
In the end, Xu Que made a bunch of fire. He had set up the barbeque
grill and exchanged ten Star Miscanthus before lighting them up without
hesitation, blossoming into a splendid glow of starlight.
"Lady, quickly take a look. There is really a starlight in the Star

Miscanthus! See? Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you
are…" Xu Que waved the bunch of Star Miscanthus in his hand and
started to sing the nursery rhyme.
However, the Empress still did not budge!
"Idiot!" This caused Xu Que to become embarrassed and he scolded

himself in his head. For the art of acting tough, if done wrongly, one will
easily look like a complete fool!
He didn’t know that the Empress could recognize the smell of the Star
Miscanthus and she also knew that he was burning them but she just
didn’t bother.
From what she knew, it was normal that the Heart’s Demon would
behave like this, trying to distract a person in cultivation. They would
burn valuable items to cause disarray in one’s mind and find a weakness
to break their spirit! Therefore, she continued to relax while bearing in
mind that the entire thing was just a fabrication and everything was from
nothingness. She kept her heart strong and concentrated on her
Cultivation.
"Looks like I have to use my next move!"
Xu Que put the chicken wings on the barbeque grill, brushed honey
while turning them continuously and sprinkled them with cumin and hot
pepper.
A thick smell emerged and immediately filled the entire eighth level.
Still, it had no effect either.
"Crap! I’ve really met a tough one!" Xu Que panicked and lost his
appetite. He immediately threw the chicken wing to one side.
The next moment, he carried out an iron pan, positioned it on the fire
and proceeded to pour oil on it!
"You’ve forced me to use my ultimate move!" Xu Que sneered and

exchanged for a bunch of Smelly Tofu from the system store. He then
immediately poured them into the oil pan!
"Keke!" Quickly, the sound of cooking oil started to emerge and the
overwhelming stench filled the air in an instant.
At this time, all the fragrance from the chicken wings were swallowed
up. The entire eighth level was filled with the stench and it was indeed
very strong!
No matter how much the Empress relaxed and kept a strong heart, she
became agitated at last.
Her spirit trembled and her beautiful eyes opened abruptly. After
witnessing what was in front of her, she became momentarily stunned.
"He… he is cooking poop?’ She found it hard to believe. Why would this
Heart’s Demon be so peculiar and use such means to disturb her
process of Cultivation?
‘The Heart’s Demon is born from one’s heart. It reflects one’s deepest
side they’ve never seen. Could it be… that deep in my heart, there hides
a dirty secret?’
The Empress’ heart faltered and became a mess. She stared at Xu Que.
Xu Que did not realize that the Empress had already opened her eyes
and continued to fry his Smelly Tofu. While cooking, he thought that he
should give it up if this did not work.
After all, for acting tough, it would only be effective if the person looked
at you. Since the Empress was not looking, Xu Que felt that whatever he
did would be a one-man show and that would be absolutely dull!
"Sigh!" After that thought, Xu Que let out a sigh. From the time after his
rebirth, this was the first time he had hit such an immovable obstacle
while acting tough. Although his soul strength became very strong, he
had spent a thousand over act tough points to get to where he was!
"I don’t think I will be able to earn back anything from someone like this.
Whatever. I’ve already spent it, no point b rooding over the loss. I should
regain my determination and eat a good meal. Wow! This smell is great!"
Xu Que scooped up a piece of Smelly Tofu, brought it up to his nose

and gave a good and deep sniff. He squinted his eyes and let out a
blessed expression.
However, upon witnessing this, the Empress’ mind and heart shook and
went into frenzy!
‘Absurd! This Heart’s Demon is absolutely absurd! It sniffed a piece of

poop and still let out such an expression. Why… why is my Heart’s
Demon doing such things?’ Her heart was filled with shock and fear.
Following was a scene which made her collapse.
Xu Que narrowed his eyes, sent that piece of Smelly Tofu into his mouth
and took a bite.
"Chi!" Enjoying the fresh juice oozing out and splashing about in his
mouth, Xu Que gave off an extremely pleasured look and he praised,
"Good, this is too good!"
"Pfff!" Almost immediately, the Empress became pale and abruptly spat
out a mouth of fresh blood!
108 Be Good. Open Your Mouth. Eat It.
Chapter 108: Be Good. Open Your Mouth. Eat It.

On top the mountain of the test area resided a wooden cottage.
The Sky Incense Valley’s seventh elder stood before the table as he
scribbled onto a parchment, writing words of highest secrecy.
Soon after, he took out a square tile and submerged it into a violet
colored spirit stone, thereby activating the spell.
Obviously, this was a spell which would delivery the parchment. After
the spell had been activated, the seventh elder pointed his fingers at it.
Immediately, the secret parchment was being absorbed into the tile as it
was conveyed to another member of Sky Incense Valley.
The location of Sky Incense Valley’s monastery was within the sea of
clouds. It was just like how one would imagine a mystical island where
immortals hail from would look like.
At this point, within a secluded room in Sky Incense Valley, a white

haired old lady was seated in the middle. Her eyes were closed as she
was obviously meditating.
"Eh?" All of a sudden, the old lady was awakened.
She seemed somewhat astonished as she flipped her hands over. She
then realized a piece of paper had appeared on her palms. This was
clearly a report sent by the seventh elder.
"Why would old seventh elder send a secret report? Could something
have happened within the test areas?"
She unrolled the parchment to take a look. Before long, her face turned
into shock, "How… How was this possible?"
When the other three old ladies around her heard movements, they
opened their eyes as well, "Sect leader senior sister, what happened?"
The Sky Incense Valley sect leader frowned as she picked up the report
and replied, "Seventh elder had sent a secret report. He said that a test
candidate was showing superb potential, although he was only in the
Golden Core Full Foundation Stage. He even managed to cross into the
eighth level of the Tower of Souls!"
"What?" The three old ladies exclaimed in shock and disbelief. .
Immediately after, their faces revealed looks of delight, "Sect leader

senior sister, that is a good thing. If he joins our Sky Incense Valley,
that would bring out sect great honor and success!"
The Sky Incense Valley sect leader shook her head grievously, "It was
originally a good thing and was to be celebrated. But not at this point.
Hong Yan has been in secluded meditation within seventh elder’s tower.
She’s on the eighth floor as well!"
"The girl Hong Yan is there too?" The three old ladies were taken aback.
"That’s… That’s bad. That girl has been cultivating a whole new different
skill set. She needed to use the pressures of the tower to refine her soul
strength. This would in turn cause her core roots to be stronger. If she
was interrupted at this stage, the consequences are unthinkable."
"And cultivating such techniques would mean that there mustn’t be

anything around her while she was cultivating. That means she would
have to be bare bodied. If anyone manages to enter…"
The few of them ran through the possible situation out loud, their faces
turning into ugly grims.
Hong Yan was the Empress of the Water Nations. Her status was thus
revered and almost sacred. How could her naked and exposed body be
looked on by just anyone? The problems wouldn’t be limited to just Sky
Incense Valley. It might drag the entire Water Nations into this as well.
The Sect Leader’s expression was grave as she muttered to herself

before flicking her wrists gracefully. She withdrew an a ncient mirror from
her storage ring.
This ancient mirror was made of extremely uncommon materials. It was

neither gold nor jade, having a certain ancient, antique feel to it. There
were many magical inscriptions written all over it which were emanating
green auras.
"My three sisters, assist me on activating the Clear Sky Lens so that we
can look into the tower and observe the current situation!" The Sect
Leader spoke out as she picked up the mirror -looking object. She then
controlled the entire lens with her core energy, causing it to float in mid
air. Then, she used both her index finger and pointed in the lens. This
caused a thin sliver of energy to waft from the point of her fingers into
the lens.
Seeing this happen, the other three old ladies emulated her and pointed
their fingers into the lens, causing the core energy to strengthen and
thicken.
Before long, the lens emanated a bright light as it swirled within. When it
eventually stabilized, it was as clear as a glass, enabling them to see
everything that was happening.
At the same time, on the eighth level of the Tower of Souls...

Xu Que had just swallowed a large block of smelly tofu and shouted out
loud about how amazing that tasted.
He then cleared his throat immediately. Right after, the sound of

someone collapsing to the ground could be heard.
This caused Xu Que to jump up from that sudden sound as he hurriedly

turned his head back to get a closer look.
He saw the woman who had been extremely still and unresponsive the
entire time, clutching her fair and soft stomach. Her face was extremely
pale as her other palm was on the ground, supporting her weight. She
spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Holy fuck. What’s the situation all about?" Xu Que was alarmed.

"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for acting tough so superbly,

you made an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator vomit blood. The
fourth instance of this similar level of acting tough would make you
attain ‘Miraculous Acting Tough’. The reward is 100 act tough points!"
"Ding! Tempering of soul strength completed. Congratulations to host

‘Xu Que’ for successfully gaining 100% increase in soul strength. The
reward is 3 square meters of movement!"
"Boom!" Almost instantly, Xu Que’s mind seemed to have expanded

once more as his soul strength and mental capacity exploded outwards,
increasing another fold. The crushing pressures of fog had receded
away from him by another 3 square meter s, allowing him to move
further.
At this point, the crushing fog between Xu Que and the Empress no
longer existed.
The Empress still had a palm on the ground, obviously in pain. She
looked at Xu Que and a certain iciness filled her heart.
"I failed to imagine… That I would come out empty handed, having lost
to this vicious heart’s devil of mine. It’s just… How did the heart’s devil’s
manifestation get so strong? According to theory, he should be pretty
mild and was all an imagination. It’s impossible tha t he actually exists.
However, it seemed like he could control the fog in this room and
caused it to dissipate. In order to do that, one has to have extraordinary
soul strength and mental fortitudes. Even I won’t be able to do
something like that!" Thinking this way, the Empress felt cold in her
heart once more. She then looked at Xu Que with expression of
suspicion.
Xu Que’s face was full of surprise as he stood to the side and resumed
eating his smelly tofu. He then shouted out, "Little miss, what’s up with
you? I only ate a block of smelly tofu, what are you spitting blood for?’
"..." The Empress didn’t reply. She glared straight at Xu Que as a

whirlpool of emotions were running through her heart. "Could it be…
Could I have been wrong? This person isn’t my heart’s devil? Wouldn’t
that mean…"
Thinking up to this point, her heart trembled as she reacted. She

hurriedly stretched out both hands to cover her body.
However, at the next moment, she realized that she couldn’t move a
muscle. She couldn’t even open her mouth to speak.
"This is bad. After I was distracted, my concentration broke and my soul

shattered. My strength was all tied up on this eighth level and now it
was gone. If this person has evil intentions…" Her expression fell as she
looked at Xu Que cautiously.
Right at this moment, however, Xu Que was confused as well. He thus

turned towards the system for advice.
"System, what's wrong with this lady? Was she hurt as a result of my
acting tough?"
"After verifications, it can be concluded that the host’s actions had a
direct consequence to her cultivation process and caused her grievously
hurt. This is confirmed by your previous success in acting tough and
was duly rewarded."
"Damn it. It was really caused by me…" Xu Que forced a bitter laugh
and looked at the Empress apologetically.
Her face had lost all color and she was pale as a sheet. Xu Que looked
at her and felt a certain pity rising up his chest.
"Forget it. On account of how beautiful she looks, I shall leave aside my
pride and make the extremely difficult decision to save her. System,
what methods are there for me to use and save her? It would be best if
this method requires my physical contact with her. For example, that
mouth to mouth resus nonsense…" Xu Que asked the system in all
seriousness.
"Ding! After conducting a check, the system confirms that this host had
never cultivated any healing techniques. Hence, there are no methods
which involve physical touch that could heal her. The source of her
injuries stem from her crushed soul. The system suggests you use
medications or other items that would improve her soul strength!"
"Medications or items that would improve her soul strength? What about
smelly tofu? Would that work?
"Ding! That would work!"
"This is going to be fun."
Xu Que’s eyes lit up as he picked up another piece of smelly tofu from

the pan and walked towards the Empress.
Seeing such a thing happen, her pupils dilated in fear and shock,
"What… What is he going to do?"
"Miss, come! Don't cry. Once you eat this amaz ing home cooked
delicacy, your strength will return soon." Xu Que was all smiles as he
spoke out.
"No… I don't want it..." Fear was written all across the Empress’ face as
she started to turn pale. It seemed like she was about to cry from being
so helpless and afraid.
After taking the throne for so many years, everything was at her beck
and call. Even the rains and wind listened to her. She had authority and
power over everything. At this point though, she was completely
helpless.
However, she didn't move and didn't speak.
She could only look at Xu Que who was holding onto that black,
steaming piece of ‘manure’. He walked up to her and even smiled at her
as he whispered, "Be good. Open your mouth. Eat it."
As the distance between her face and the smelly tofu gradually
decreased, everything in her vision went dark as she passed out.
If she could only move, the first thing she would have done wasn't to put
on some clothes to cover her dignity but to rush forward towards Xu Que
and bite him to death.
109 Such A Perfect And Complete Man Exists In

This World!
Chapter 109: Such A Perfect And Complete Man Exists In This World!
At this time, the Empress’ heart and morale had crumbled. She was
utterly devastated.
As the reigning monarch of a country, she never expected her naked
body to be looked on by an unknown stranger. She felt silly for thinking
that he was the manifestation of her heart’s devil. At last, her cultivation
efforts which she had been striving towards for the past few months
were futile.
And now, this stranger was trying to feed her ‘manure’. This was the
biggest humiliation to her.
Her heart was trembling. If the events of today were to be leaked out,
there would be dire consequences in future.
And yet she was still helpless at this point. Her body was immobile,
unable to move. She couldn’t even speak and had no way of stopping
the youth before her.
Xu Que looked at her and could tell the amount of rejection, despair and
helplessness in her eyes.
Bemused, he spoke, "Missy. You are going overboard now! Although I

have to admit that you are extremely beautiful, that doesn’t mean you
should be stubborn. Alright fine, I guess since you’re such a beauty, you
have the right to be a little stubborn. But how can you hurt my feelings
this way?"
"???" The Empress was extremely taken aback. She was full of wariness
as she asked herself, "How did I hurt his feelings?"
Xu Que then continued speaking, "When I was being stuck just now, you
didn’t raise a finger to help me out. But I’m not being calculative or
vengeful now and even decided to help you in return. However, you’re
pulling a long face and making strange eyes at me. In all honesty, if it
weren’t for the fact that you’re a mess and extremely pitiful, I would’ve
left a long time ago. Come on, be good. A smelly tofu a day, keeps the
doctor away."
As he spoke, Xu Que brought the smelly tofu right to her lips.

The Empress couldn’t even open her mouth. Her eyes were extremely
terrified.
"Oh, so it’s because you can’t move? You should’ve said so earlier.
Come, let me help you with that!" Xu Que seemed to have reached a
profound understanding as he gently pulled her chin downward and
peeled her lips apart.
Hsss... Her skin is so soft and smooth!
The second his fingers touched her lips, Xu Que inhaled a breath of cold
air as his heart was hammering wildly in his chest.
In the next second, he forced the piece of smelly tofu into her mouth in
spite of her terrified expression!
...
At the same time, within a secluded room in Sky Incense Valley...
The Clear Sky Lens was hovering in mid air as light shot around in all
directions.
This particular lens had been passed down within Sky Incense Valley for
thousands of years all the way ‘till today. It was one of the most
precious treasures within the sect and was extremely valuable.
However, the strength and power of Sky Incense Valley had dwindled
over the years as the mantle of sect leader passed on from one to
another. Presently, even the sect leader wasn’t able to handle the Clear
Sky Lens alone. Just to gain vision of the Empress, Hong Yan was
within the domains of the Fire Nation and requires the str ength of four
Infant Transformation Stagers.
It could also be partially attributed to the fact that the powers of this
Clear Sky Lens was way too strong. This lens was able to track anyone
including his environment, sounds, smells and auras as if the person
were sitting next door.
The transparent windows along the first few levels of the Tower of Souls
was made up of the same material as this Clear Sky Lens.
It’s just that the windows weren’t as strong as this lens. Hence, it was
impossible for the windows to reveal anything beyond the fifth level.
And now, this Clear Sky Lens was able to peer through the higher
levels.
The second this thin looking mirror was infused with core energy, it lit up
and shone prismatic light all around the room before revealing an
extremely lifelike image.
The image which appeared on the mirror was the image of Xu Que
prying open the Empress lips apart.
At the same time, an extremely pungent smell wafted through the mirror
and perforated the nostrils of the old ladies withi n the secret room.
The four old ladies trembled in fear as their faces turned ashen. One of
them hurriedly conjured some energy and directed it towards her nose to
block out the smell.
"What was that stench?"
"It smelt like faeces!
"It was coming from the Tower of Souls. How could that be?"
"Not good. Take a look! See what that kid is holding onto!"
"Eh? What is happening? Why was he holding onto a piece of dung?"
"Hong Yan looks hurt as well."
"This is bad. Hong Yan must’ve been interrupted by that kid and thus
took injuries to her soul. Look at the position she’s in. It looks like she
can’t move!"
"Wait a second. What’s that kid trying to do?"
"He... He… The audacity! He’s too audacious! How dare he touch the
lips of the Empress? Hong Yan is the monarch of the Water Nation and
her skin is precious beyond measure. How dare he touch her?"
"Not good. Look! He is forcing her lips open and it seems like he’s…"
"My god, is he crazy?"
The four old ladies opened their eyes wide as they squealed out. Th ey
were so upset that their entire bodies were shaking.
"He... He… He’s actually feeding the Empress of Water Nation, faeces?"
"Outrageous!"
"Boom!:
The sect leader was so enraged she slammed her palm onto the wooden
table beside her, causing the table to completely disintegrate into
specks of dusts. Her face was brimming with intense killing aura and
anger. She glanced at the other three old ladies and shouted out,
"Activate the teleportation spell! I shall personally go down to the Fire
Nation. This kid acts too outrageously. No matter how amazing his
potential, I will not spare him!"
"Right away!" The three old ladies were filled with anger as well and
acknowledged.
Soon after, the four of them transformed into beams of light as they
disappeared from the secret room.
...
Meanwhile, on the eighth level of the Tower of Souls...
The Empress had a dejected look in her eyes. She was the reigning
monarch of a powerful nation but had been reduced to such a state. She
knew that such an incident would leave a huge scar on her and would
actually become her heart’s devil in the future.
Indeed, the second that black piece of faeces entered her mouth, a
succulent and decadent aroma coursed through her palates. She gulped
down and was stumped.
This… This is how faeces taste? That’s not right. How could it be so
delicious? It tasted like the best tofu she had ever had. Was this really
tofu?
"Boom!"
Just as she was amazed by the taste of this item, a strange and
mysterious energy appeared in her mouth and rushe d towards her head.
In that second, the Empress’ mind was completely blank.
Her soul strength seemed to have increased a notch. In that instance,

she had managed to cross through the bottleneck of her cultivation as
well and made a breakthrough!
"How was this possible?" The Empress gave out a shriek of delight.
When that happened, she realized that she could speak!
She looked at Xu Que in astonishment, her heart was full of amazement.
She was extremely clear that the wave of mysterious energy had came
from that smelly piece of tofu and it was the smelly tofu which added to
her soul strength and cause her fragmented and broken spirit to recover.
It even gave her the additional edge to breakthrough that bottleneck
which she had been stuck in for the past few months.
"Haha, how was it? I told you my cooking skills were extremely good.
For example, this piece of smelly tofu would help to increase your soul
strength." Xu Que laughed out plainly as he stuck his chest out proudly.
The smelly tofu’s feature was that it could increase a person’s soul
strength by 1% of the person’s strength. Since Xu Que’s soul strength
was extremely little to begin with, this 1% didn’t do much and had
minimal effects.
However, it was different for this Empress. She had already cultivated to
the Infant Transformation Stage and her soul strength was immense.
Hence, 1% of that gave a rather scary addition towards her existing pool
of soul strength!
This is compounded by the fact she had been in secluded meditation for
several months and was extremely close to that breakthrough. So this
piece of smelly tofu had allowed her to breakthrough the bottleneck.
"How could… How could there be such a mysterious piece of food in this
world?" The Empress asked herself in surprise.
Xu Que waved a hand and replied, "Miss, you are wrong to say that.
There is an entire world within a flower and enlightenment within a leaf!
This was such a vast world and would definitely be filled with mysteries
and strange wonders!"
"An entire world within a flower, enlightenment within a leaf?" The

Empress muttered to herself several times while her body was
trembling. She looked at Xu Que in utter disbelief, her heart racing fast.
It was extremely hard for her to reconcile the fact that this young,
Golden Core Stage teenager could speak such profound words of
wisdom.
‘And this young man doesn’t look very ordinary. He has a sort of refined,
and elegant air around him. In fact, he doesn’t seem the least hindered
by the eighth level’s pressure and could even coo k such delicious food
here. It was hard to imagine that such a perfect and complete man
existed in this world!’
She then looked at Xu Que once more, as her heart was filled with
admiration!
110 Do You Wish To Meet My Little Brother?
Chapter 110: Do You Wish To Meet My Little Brother?




Hearing the system ring out repeatedly within his head, Xu Que squinted
his eyes and laughed out loud.
This way of acting tough was rather profitable! At least, he didn’t waste
his talents of rescuing others and could always lend a helping hand to
those in need! Afterall, a good person would always have good karma.
Since he had taken the path of acting tough as his noble profession, the
least he could do was to excel in it. Saving people and acting tough
went hand in hand. The most profound aspect about acting tough was to
assimilate it, bit by bit, into everyday life and routine!
Just as Xu Que was revelling in happiness, the Empress had started to

regain her composure again. Her gaze never left Xu Que, causing him to
feel some discomfort.
Afterall, he was being looked at by a beautiful looking, stark naked lady

and it was normal to feel somewhat shy.
"Little brother, let me ask, are you here to participate in the test
conducted by Sky Incense Valley to become a disciple?"
Both pairs of eyes locked onto each other. At last, the Empress broke
the silence. Her voice was extremely warm and friendly, bearing a tinge
of understanding. Her gaze was extraordinary as though she could see
through any deception on this world.
Right now, the only thing her eyes were looking at was the man who had
superb innate talents. This same person had just fed her ‘faeces’ earlier
on.
However, when Xu Que heard this, he was extremely unhappy. His

eyebrows knitted into a frown and he asked, "Missy, you haven't even
seen my ‘brother’, how can you know that it's little?"
"Eh? What do you mean by this?"
The Empress’s paused, unable to fathom whatever Xu Que had meant.

"Could it be, that you have other brothers at home? Could they be as
talented as you? If so, that's great! All of you can join Sky Incense
Valley!"
The Empress had always been a renowned child prodigy. However, she
relied heavily on the counsel and guidance of the leaders of Sky Incense
Valley in order to get to where she was today.
The amount of strength and talents displayed by Xu Que would've put

her talents when she was younger to shame. Earlier on, it was extremely
clear that that thing he placed into her mouth looked and smelt like
faeces. How could it have increased her soul strength then?"
If this young man had other equally gifted brothers and they were all to
join Sky Incense Valley, that would make the Sect extremely strong!
"Eh? So what you’re trying to say, is that you wish to meet my little
brother?" Xu Que broke out into hysteric laughter. In all honesty, he
didn’t intend to be this dirty minded but couldn’t help it under such
circumstances!
"That’s right! If it’s convenient, please introduce us..." The Empress

replied seriously.
"Eh…"
Seeing such a serious expression on the Empress face, it was clear that
she wasn’t kidding. Xu Que was completely stumped and didn’t know
how to react to that answer. Missy, why don’t you understand slangs
and social lingo? Why can’t you catch my drift?
"What? Will it be inconvenient? Is your little brother staying too far away
from Sky Incense Village?" The Empress looked at Xu Que’s
expressions of difficulty and asked curiously.
"No no no… He’s not far away at all. Instead, he’s extremely close." As
he spoke, Xu Que looked down at his own pants.
"Oh? Do you mean to say, he came for the same test as you?" The
Empress asked, astonished.
"That’s right. He did come! It’s only… It’s not convenient for him to see
you!" Xu Que replied helplessly.
This Empress was clearly a very thorough person and always felt the
need to get to the bottom of the matter. She then persisted in asking,
"Why would it be inconvenient? Since he’s in the vicinity…"
"Aiya! The logic behind the reason is extremely deep. Even if I were to
tell you, you might not understand. The bottomline is, not letting you
meet him would be best for you."
Xu Que shook his head as he tried to change the topic, "Little miss, if I
didn’t guess wrongly, you are a disciple of Sky Incense Valley?"
"Did you just call me little miss?" The Empress paused in shock before
bursting out in laughter. "Do you know how many times older I am than
you?"
"What’s the use of being older or younger than someone?" Xu Que

shrugged his shoulders before pointing towards the fair chest before
speaking out boldly, "What’s most important is, that is small. Although I
think you’re at least a D-cup right? But I’ve seen E and even F cups!"
The Empress was bewildered as she looked down. The second she
looked down, her face fell.
She then finally recalled that she had been in secluded meditation on
the eighth level all these while. Everytime she came up here, it was
natural for her to completely disrobe and meditate. However, the elders
who had come up here were all elderly old women which she wasn’t
ashamed to be naked in front of.
Who would ever imagine that a young man like Xu Que would ever end
up here. When their interaction first began, the Empress didn’t think
much of it. However with Xu Que’s reminder, she then realized they
were of opposite genders and was thus extremely inappropriate! She
was the highly esteemed Empress of the Water Nation. And yet she had
been seen naked by a random, unknown man. This… This was a
scandal!
"Sou!" A wave of freezing energy wafted out from her body as it wrapped
around her body, sticking to her skin before transforming into a layer of
opaque ice, covering her skin.
What was most extraordinary was that this layer of ice had embroidery
all over it and yet it didn’t look strange. Instead, it made her look even
more ravishing and befitting of an Empress of a nation.
She looked upset and yet the Empress’ feeling were in a whirl right now.
She glared at Xu Que, who looked right back into her eyes. She then
realized that she was looking at this handsome looking young man an d
an indescribable feeling was in her heart. With her personality, if anyone
else had seen her in a compromising position previously, she would
have turned him into ashes without a second thought and erase all trace
of his existence from this world.
Whenever when she looked at Xu Que’s crystal clear pupils, she was
reminded of how she looked at him just as he fed her the delicious
tasting smelly tofu. Her once cold heart of ice had been melted to water
and had started dripping and softening, drop by drop.
"Little miss, aiyo! That’s a pretty cool trick, using ice as a set of robes.
How much money can you save up without having to spend on clothings!
But… Aren’t you cold?" Xu Que asked in awe.
The Empress ignored him and looked somewhat angry, but not quite .
She looked at Xu Que strangely and was extremely conflicted. She had
no idea what to do with Xu Que at this point.
And Xu Que continued looking at her, seemingly happy.
Indeed, there existed a special breed of women who were still pretty in
their anger. Or rather, still exuded a particular charm in spite of their
anger.
Xu Que could somewhat feel a sort of majestic aura wafting out from
her. Although this aura wasn’t threatening, it could make someone feel
like she was extremely dignified and graceful.
111 I’ve Already Seen Through The Scandal
Chapter 111: I’ve Already Seen Through The Scandal

It was clear that this woman could rouse such strong feelings within men
which made them desire her deeply. However, most of these men
couldn’t help but to feel deeply inferior to her.
That was why the first time Xu Que laid his eyes on her, his heart
skipped a beat. Only the gods themselves would be able to sleep with
such a perfect woman!
"Little miss, have you seen a goddess before?" Xu Que asked.
The Empress looked at Xu Que, her interest was piqued. She thought to
herself for sometime before nodding her head and replying, "Yes, I’ve
seen them before."
"Because I’ve never met any…. Huh? You’ve seen a goddess before?"
Xu Que was trying to use his pickup line once more. He never would’ve
expected her to answer such an unorthodox response. She’s met a
goddess before? Fuck. Was she for real?
Seeing Xu Que look so stumped, the Empress gave a girly laugh before
replying softly, "The mother of this world, who looks after and raises
every single individual, is a goddess. The good that can be found in
everyone, that comes from the goddess as well..."
"Gulp! I guess you’re right. But that wasn’t what I meant." Xu Que’s lips
twitched as he replied under his breath.
The Empress laughed out once more, "Unless you’re speaking of the
goddess who can fly into heaven because I haven’t met her yet."
"..." Xu Que touched the point of his nose helplessly.
Chatting up ladies was a skill which required precision, timing and

ambience. After dropping his pick up line, she replied him in such a
strange way that even he found it embarrassing to pursue the matter.
Thus it can be concluded that this lady was extremely different from
those other easy, cheap goods out there!
"Can you tell me, how did you manage to ente r the eighth level? Based
on what I know, there’s a powerful spell restricting access to the eighth
level right at the entrance!" the Empress asked. She didn’t know of Xu
Que’s history but she guessed that he must’ve been someone who had
come for the test, hoping to enter Sky Incense Valley.
Xu Que rolled his eyes before laughing out, "Just a mere restrictive spell
won’t hinder me. Or you can also say that there’s nothing in this world
that can obstruct me. If I wish to be somewhere, I shall be there. That
includes your heart as well."
"My heart?" The Empress asked, clearly surprised.
"If I say that I can enter your heart, would you believe me?" Xu Que
nodded his head and smiled.
"I believe." The Empress thought for sometime before nodding her head
shyly.
Xu Que felt his heart wrench up. No! Please don’t believe in every single
word I say. Damn it. Why have all my pickup lines failed against you? I
can’t believe this.
"Don’t you wish to know how I can make my way into your heart?" Xu
Que asked.
"I do!" The Empress smiled once more.
Xu Que then heaved a sigh of relief, thanking his lucky stars that he was
finally given the opportunity to take center stage and demonstrate his
abilities. Thus, he gave a serious expression and nodded his head,
"Alright. Since you wish to know, I shall tell you. The eyes are the
window to a person’s heart. Come, look into my eyes and I shall look
into yours." Xu Que spoke out as he thrusts his face forward towards
her. The distances between both their faces were several millimeters
apart.
According to the legends, if a man and woman were to look at each

other deep into the eyes for forty seconds, feelings would develop
between them!
And so…
"Hehe!" Just after two seconds, the Empress couldn’t help but break out
into a smile as her body turned away shily before speaking, "You are a
very interesting young boy. At your age, there aren’t many people like
you who make discerning their ages hard."
Fuck! This lady doesn’t even treat me like a man! She’s talking to me
like a child. A boy! It’s no wonder none of my pickup lines worked on
her. Damn it!
Xu Que finally reacted. He looked extremely unhappy, "Little miss. I

must disagree with you. I am an honest and matured man. How can you
say discerning my age is difficult? Are yo u trying to say I’m still very
boyish? No! No! No! Look at me from all 45 degrees. Can’t you see how
I’m as pure as the heavens? At this age, there’s nobody more pure than
me."
"You shouldn’t address me as little miss. You would confuse the orders
of seniority between us. Besides, I don’t really understand most of
whatever you just said…" The Empress was half laughing.
"What should I call you if not little miss? Young sister? As for those
words you didn’t understand, I’ve already told you the meaning of w hich
is extremely deep. You’re still young now and might not understand. But
that’s alright. As long as you stick around me, you shall learn fast
enough…"
The Empress nodded her head gently and laughed, deciding not to
argue with Xu Que on this topic. She felt as though Xu Que was
extremely different from most of the people she had met. Especially
those strange words he spoke and the way she spoke them. Some of
those words even she didn't understand. However, she had this feeling
that the things he was speaking about had some deep meaning to them.
Xu Que however, didn’t like this feeling very much. He felt like he had
lost this time and had broadcasted this loss for everyone to see.
He didn’t speak and looked around, trying to size her up. He then
decided to quit wooing her for now and stop with the pickup lines.
Besides, it wasn’t everyday that he was able to enter such a special
tower. His main priority should be to refine his soul strength as much as
he could. Also, he recalled having boasted earlier about peeing off the
top of the tower. He probably shouldn’t let anyone down and renege on
his earlier promises right? Thus he decided to ascend further to the
ninth floor.
Only the minute he stood up, the gorgeous looking lady called him back.
"Little brother, since you’re able to cross through the eighth level, the
Elite Entrance Order should be yours. Why are you still trying to go up
and risk your life? In the future when you enter the Sky Incense Valley,
you can pick a sect elder to receive knowledge a nd training from. Based
on how strong your soul and mental fortitudes are, why don’t I
recommend you an elder?"
"Wait a minute. Who said I wish to join the Sky Incense Valley?" Xu Que
held his hand up and interrupted her.
The Empress paused in shock, "Eh? What are you doing here if you’re
not trying to join Sky Incense Valley?"
"I was just passing by and came in here to act tough. Once I was done
acting tough, I would leave."
"Act tough? What do you mean by that?" The Empress shot him a
suspicious look once again.
"It… It means, to just gallivant around since I had nothing better to do."
Xu Que replied, looking distracted.
The Empress mumbled to herself for sometime before speaking out

seriously, "Then will you consider joining the Sky Incense Valley? If you
manage to join, I guarantee that you will have numerous of treasures
provided for your cultivation. At the same time, the sect will cater its
resources to ensure that you develop well…"
"Damn, I was just wondering what this was all about! So this i s the case!
It’s a (scandal) pubic hair! A huge huge (scandal) pubic hair!"
(T/N : The chinese characters for ploy/scandal is one character away

from pubic hair. In this case, he said pubic hair instead of scandal)
Even before the Empress could finish speaking, Xu Que widened his
eyes and started shouting, while looking at her.
This caused the Empress to feel extremely confused. She then realized
that this black robed youth was extremely difficult to fathom. However,
she was extremely intrigued by him as well. She laughed out, "Little
brother, would you let me finish speaking?"
"No, I won’t! Don’t even think about it." Xu Que waved his hand around,
"I was just wondering to myself and thinking that it was extremely
strange that the sect would place a gorgeous lady on the eighth level.
She probably used some strange spell to render her immune from my
pick up lines, which actually worked. My pickup lines were ineffective on
her. All these are extremely abnormal. Indeed, I didn’t expect any of
this, for it was all a huge, huge (scandal) pubic hair! It’s a scam! A
phoney from start to end!"
112 He’s Already Left, These Are His Belongings
Chapter 112: He’s Already Left, These Are His Belongings

"Ah? Scandal? I…. Our Sky Incense Valley won’t ever cheat people."
The Empress was extremely confused, showing it on her face as well.
Xu Que cleared his throat, "Stop covering up! Have you looked into my
clear and extremely bright pair of eyes? Well, let me tell you. These
aren’t just eyes. These are a pair of light which will uncover and reveal
your cheating ploys ."
"Actually, I was able to see through the entire plan a long time ago. Let
me tell you, your lowdown scummy ploys will never fool an intelligent
genius such as myself. I could see right through you."
"First off, you made use of your terrific figure and gorgeous looking
features to attract my attention. Next, you would make a move on me
and blatantly express how attracted you are to me. Soon after, you
would tell me about how your parents are mighty royalty within the
kingdom. When you’ve finally reeled me in, you would give me all kinds
of powerful treasures and medications to improve my cultivation and
might even give me a large sum of spirit stones. Before long, you would
make repeated requests to have sex with me and would even rape me if
I refuse to give permission. Once that happens, I would become
embroiled deeply within your ploy and have no choice but to marry you
and spend the rest of my life with you."
"At the end, I would have everything I ever wanted and needed. I
wouldn’t have to work. I could eat, play and do anything I wanted all day
long. That would make me a useless person to society. I would become
nothing more than a handicapped person! Before long, my physical body
and my soul would regress and I wouldn’t have the slightest urge to act
tough! Hmph! I won’t fall for your tricks!"
"A useless person to society? What do you mean? Don’t you worry. Any
disciple that joins my Sky Incense Valley sect would never become
handicapped..."
"That’s not what I meant. What I mean…" Xu Que was just about to
speak more rubbish words when all of a sudden, the entire tower shook
violently. Four beams of light appeared, along with immense killing
intents and shot towards the tower.
"Not good! Many Infant Transformation Stage cultivators are here.

There’s no time to explain. Missy, please get in the car…" X u Que
shouted out.
"Car? We’re in a tower. There’s no car around. But don’t you worry. The
four of them are the Sky Incense Valley elders. Everything’s going to be
alright."
"Alright your sister! Can’t you feel their killing intents? How can it be
alright? You might be alright, but I’m in deep shit! Missy, I shan’t linger
any longer. The mountains will remain tall and the river streams will
continue to flow. We shall meet again if fate permits…" Xu Que then
retrieved his escape emblem, and was prepared to flee after acting
tough.
"You can’t leave this place. This tower…" The second the Empress
opened her mouth to speak, she then realized a tremendous force
ripping through the air within the tower. The force then swirled around in
the room before landing upon Xu Que. She then asked, "You can rip
open the air? You actually have the power to escape from the realms of
this tower?"
Xu Que, who had just torn the escape emblem to activate it laughed out,
"Of course. Fleeing after acting tough is one of my most commonly used
skills. Imagine not being able to flee after acting tough. Won’t I look
extremely stupid? Little miss, do not feel discouraged because I’ve seen
through your (scandal) pubic hair. In fact, there aren’t many people in
this world who are like me. Alright, I shan’t speak further. Farewell to
you…"
When he finished speaking, the air within the room trembled violently,
as Xu Que’s shadow gradually receded. The Empress knew that Xu Que
was leaving and felt a strange feeling of loss and despair in h er heart.
"Sou!"
She then took out a Heaven Ending jade pendant and slung it onto his
waist just before he disappeared. She then spoke out, "You and I are
fated. Thank you for feeding faeces… I mean smelly tofu to me and
treating my injuries… This jade pendant is yours…"
As soon as her last words were spoken, Xu Que had teleported a long
distance away.
The Empress then glanced across at the eighth level of the tower and
saw that it was empty. She felt a certain sense of loss and yet still felt a
lingering presence around in the room that belonged to Xu Que.
When she glanced across at the pots and pans which Xu Que had used
to fry the smelly tofu, she waved a hand across and stored all of these
items into her storage ring.
He was already gone and these were the only items he left behind.
The air around still smelt strange, but the Empress took a deep breath
and felt a special… connection.
"It was as if I haven’t had such an intimate and relaxed conversation

with anyone in the longest time."
...
At this time, the tower started to rumble and tremble. Four old women of
the Infant Transformation Stage rushed in furiously.
"Hong Yan… Are… Are you alright? Ai? What happened? Did you just
have a… Breakthrough?"
The first Infant Transformation Stage elder r ushed in and noticed that
the Empress’ strength was much stronger than before. It was evident
that she had a breakthrough.
"What about that rascal? How dare he contaminate the air around the
Empress of the Water Nations. I would give him a thousand slashes.
Even if he was the most worthy candidate and the one with the highest
potential, Sky Incense Valley would never accept…" Another elder raged
out as she tried to find a trace of Xu Que.
"Why isn’t he here? I know. Hong Yan, have you reduced that kid to
ashes and dust already?" Another elder asked.
"My fellow senior masters, I’ve already handled this matter. You don’t
have to investigate any further." The Empress spoke out plainly before
the few Infant Transformation Stage elders in order to get their mi nds off
the topic.
She would never tell these elders that Xu Que had fled, for they would
chase him to the ends of the world in order to protect her dignity. When
they’ve found him, they would do everything in their power to kill him.
"That’s good! My fellow sisters, let’s not speak of this matter any longer
and allow it to pass!"
The few old ladies knew that this matter involved the reputation of the
Empress and all decided to never speak of this matter again.
Just as the entire group of them decided never to speak of this matter
again, the Empress broke the silence and asked, "Senior elder, might I
ask, how did this person manage to enter the eighth level of the tower?"
"Hong Yan, you… Ai! Alright. Actually, this was all our fault. We never
expected a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator to have such incredible
soul strength and made it all the way to the seventh stage without
difficulties. In fact, he was even able to vanquish the spell at the
entrance of the eighth level and compromised your modesty."
The senior elder heaved a loud sigh as she explained, "However,

according to the other elders, his performances in other levels were
extremely precise and efficient. He was even able to surpass some of
our Original Infant Stage disciples."
Hearing about Xu Que’s performance and quotes in the earlier stages,

the Empress’ eyes lit up brightly.
"I shall walk the path which belongs only to the fittest and most
capable."
"In this life, I have to be the best person who ever existed. Even when I
die, I will be an heroic ghost."
...
If the Empress thought that the way Xu Que spoke earlier was strange,
all these stories she was hearing now made her feel that something is
stirring in her heart. As for Xu Que and his ‘Heavenly Explosion Faction’
stories, she started to imagine him speaking those words.
"Missy! Take a look! There’s really starlight in the Star Miscanthus!"
"Missy, these grilled chicken wings tastes extremely delicious!"
"Missy! Missy! Would you like another piece of smelly tofu?"
113 I Didn’t Do Anything!
Chapter 113: I Didn’t Do Anything!

The words which Xu Que quoted were still ringing in her ears. She could
still recall his handsome looking face which bore semblances of
innocence. All of a sudden, the Empress turned around and glanced at
an elder, who was holding onto several precious treasures, "Second
elder, are you holding on to a bunch of Star Miscanthus?"
"Yes! The disciples managed to gather quite a number of it. I have a

total of 158 stalks of Star Miscanthus. Hong Yan, do you need these
Star Miscanthus for your cultivation, now that you’ve broken through? If
that’s the case, take it all! You are the most outstanding disciple of our
sect anyway…"
As he spoke, the second elder whipped out all the 158 stalks of Star
Miscanthus and handed it all over to the Empress.
When the Empress received the Star Miscanthus, she didn’t keep them
immediately. Instead, she ignited a fire in her hands before setting the
Star Miscanthus on fire.
"Goodness! Hong Yan, what are you doing?"
"Quickly stop! Hong Yan, those are Star Miscanthus!"
"Hong Yan what’s wrong with you?"
The elders had a change of expression and immediately rushed forward

to stop her.
However, they were too late for the Empress had already set fire to the
entire bunch of Star Miscanthus. While they were all ablazed, she
started waving them in the air. Starlight flickered into the air just like
fireworks, as they whistled and sizzled in the air.
Beautiful!
It was too beautiful, especially in such a night setting.
At this point, the windows of the tower, including those on the eighth
level had been open. Hence, the disciples down below could see the
Star Miscanthus shooting out through the window. When they saw it,
they all started cheering in jubilation.
"Look! It’s Master Hua. He’s really made it to the eighth level and could
even set fire to Star Miscanthus like he did previou sly!"
"That’s fantastic! Master Hua is really a role model for the cultivators in
my generation! After saying he would make it to the top, he really did it!
That’s too amazing!"
"Holy! Everyone, run away! I remember Master Hua’s words before he

went up. He said he would reach the top and pee down!"
"Everyone run! Master Hua’s pee will be extremely potent, and might
even hurt people!"
Everyone started screaming in fear.
The cultivators around all split up in different directions in order to avoid

being urinated on.
On the eighth level, the four Infant Transformation Cultivators were

staring at the Empress and were all astonished.
The Empress before them… Was she the same woman who ruled the
entire Water Nation? Why did she look so foreign then?
And why was she smiling while looking at the Star Miscanthus in her
hand? Her smile was still extremely charming and beautiful which
captivated anyone who looked at her.
"Senior sister, Hong Yan… What’s happening to her? Why would she
burn the Star Miscanthus? And she looked so happy doing it?" An elder
asked curiously.
"Those are Sky Miscanthus! More than a hundred stalks…" The second
elder who had given the entire bunch to her looked extremely pained.
The Empress continued waving the ignited bunch of Star M iscanthus.
When it had finished burning, she had left a permanent mark on the
tower.
When everyone took a closer look, they realized the marks on the tower
weren’t random. They were words.
"In this life, I have to be the best person who ever existed. Ev en when I
die, I will be an heroic ghost."
The Empress had used the flaming Star Miscanthus to write these words
down. For some reason, these words held profound meaning for her and
even caused the image of Xu Que to surface in her mind.
"Second elder…" After she had finished burning the entire bunch of Star
Miscanthus, she then turned her head around to look at the second
elder who was still holding onto other treasures.
"Ah? Hong Yan! I’ve already given you all the Star Miscanthus and have
no more left. The rest are in the treasure room and we have use for
them! I… I can’t let you burn them all…" the elder hurriedly spoke out
defensively.
"No, I’m not speaking of more Star Miscanthus. I… I wished to ask if we

have rear chickens grown here in the sect? Can you grill some chicken
wings for me to eat?"
She then thought about the decadent and delicious smelling chicken
wings which Xu Que had roasted earlier on in the tower. The Empress
wanted to learn his techniques and even had all his equipment needed
to cook such delicious food.
"Hm… We do have chickens raised here in Sky Incense Valley. But

Hong Yan, people eat chickens for their breast and thighs where there’s
meat. Nobody eats the chicken wings or feet. We usually throw those
parts away. Why… Why do you wish to eat chicken wings? Those parts
can’t be eaten!"
The second elder heaved a sigh of relief as her request wasn’t related to
the remaining Star Miscanthus. However, how could people eat such
strange parts of the chicken, like its wings? Much less a dignified
monarch of a nation.
Nonetheless, what happened next caused the elders to eat their words.
The Empress managed to gather several chickens before killing them off
properly. She then took out the wings and emulated what Xu Que had
done earlier and placed them on the grill to cook. She then added the
necessary marination and waited. Before long, the same delicious
smelling aroma wafted throughout the entire valley…
At first, everyone within the area from the disciples to elders had all
rejected the idea of eating chicken wings. Even though the aroma got
more and more delicious, everyone still thought that there was no meat
in the wings and thus it couldn’t be consumed.
Before long, under the graceful invitation of the Empress, the first
disciple stepped forward to try. A second disciple stepped forward and
ate it too…
The first elder also took a bite and the next elder stepped forward and
bit onto it as well.
At the next moment, everything turned into chaos as all the Sky Incense
Valley disciples and elders rushed forward to grab some chicken wings
for themselves.
While the disciples completely immersed themselves within the new

found delicacy, the Empress was by herself. She looked at the pan
which Xu Que had used to fry the smelly tofu and th ought deeply to
herself. The stink which was emitted from the tofu was unrivaled and yet
it tasted so delicious.
And at the same time, Xu Que who had taken great pains in order to use
up his escape emblem, had appeared several hundred kilometers away,
on a mountain with a loud whoosh.
"Heheh! I managed to act tough and flee yet again! Now, I truly dare to
ask if anyone’s as good in doing this as myself? It’s just a pity that I left
even before those four Infant Transformation Staged Cultivators arrived.
If I could act tough in front of them, I might even have earned more act
tough points. But... It was better to be cautious and careful. If not, it
might backfire while I acted tough and make me look stupid."
The second he thought about these words, a long chain of system beeps
rang out in his head.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough,

the reward is 40 act tough points!"

The system beep sounded loudly within his mind. Xu Que had long
gotten used to it and was instead proud of whatever he had achieved.
However, he had been walking within this mountainous valley for half a
day and the beeps and notifications were still coming in. This made him
feel rather stupid, for he had no idea what was happening.
"Fuck me ‘till I’m dead. Who can tell me what on earth is happ ening? I…
I didn’t do anything at all! Could it be that my acting tough had gotten to
a point where I’m full of acting tough auras? But, there’s nothing here
but plants and shrubs. There isn't’ even a demonic beast around for me
to act tough to? Looks like… My acting tough level had gotten to such a
terrifying stage where I’m able to act tough to anything!"
114 Fuck! Demonic Humans!
Chapter 114: Fuck! Demonic Humans!

"That’s terrifying! My acting tough level! It’s too impressive!"
Xu Que stood atop the mountain and raised his head to look at the
passing clouds. His mind was still ringing with beeps and notifications
and he was extremely glad.
The gentle wind blew across as his clothes flapped in the wind while he
stared into a distance. He felt like a highly skilled martial artist standing
atop a mountain, feeling unrivalled and yet lonely.
At the next moment however, he could see several shadows walking into
the forest as they spoke to each other.
Xu Que happened to sweep his gaze across when he caught a short

glimpse of those shadows. "Shit! Have my eyes gone bad? What were
those people? Why did I see someone with horns on his head and
another with a long tail on his back?"
The few shadows had already disappeared into the wilderness but Xu
Que was still extremely curious. He was certain about whatever he saw
and those shadows were clearly of humans. They even wore clothes and
yet they weren’t completely human.
"Have aliens invaded this realm of cultivators?" Xu Que widened his

eyes and thought deeply.
After a while, his eyes lit up, "That’s right. I almost forgot that there was
another race apart from humans and demons in this realm. But that
race... Wasn’t it already extinct?"
He started to get extremely suspicious. According to the memories of

the owner to this body, this other race belonged to the demonic humans.
Demonic humans were the descendants of a breed between humans and

demonic beasts. A long time ago, this race was extremely powerful.
They were born of human form and would occasionally bear traits of
demonic beasts. For example, some would have horns and others would
have wings or tails.
However, as the time passed, the relations between humans and

demonic humans soured and this race plunged into an awkward
situation. Both sides had regarded each other as enemies and started
raising arms in a bid to wipe out the other party. At last, the demonic
humans had no choice but to go into hiding and were rarely seen.
Rumors had it that the entire race had gone into extinction. Although
people would see traces of them from time to time deep in the forest or
mountains, causing far too many rumors and stories floating around.
Xu Que never imagined that he would actually get the chance to see
these fabled demonic humans around when he had only wanted to look
for a quiet place in order to get over with his 49 Tribulations.
"That’s interesting. These are the original demonic humans which I’ve
heard so much of." Xu Que’s lips curled into a smile and started chasing
after them in excitement.
He wasn’t excited about meeting the demonic humans. Rather, he

wanted to see what they were up to, for they were highly elusive. For all
he knew, he might have another few opportunities to act tough!
He rode atop his Lightning Haste and leapt down from the mountaintop.
Before long, he reachrd a considerable distance behind the demonic

humans. He then realized that they were three males and all of of them
were of Golden Core Stage.
One of them had a pair of horns on his head while the other had a bushy
tail, the last member having the most bizarre appearance. He had the
torso of a man but the lower body of a snake!
"Hssss!" Xu Que looked at them and inhaled a breath of fresh air. He

couldn’t help but feel amazed. This last demonic human was the result
of a human who had sex with a snake! Or was it a snake who had sex
with a human? If it was the former, Xu Que would’ve admired the
human, for their story would be similar to a popular tale titled Madame
White Snake.
At the same time, their conversation could be heard by Xu Que.
"This time, we really have to catch several soft skinned and fleshy kids
to bring back. If not, our King would definitely be angry."
"Yes! The last time we caught an old man, his flesh was so rubbery that
the King had meat stuck in his teeth for days. He was angry even three
days after and proceeded to beat the living daylights out of sixth
brother."
"This time is different. Our King is extremely particular about the

Thunder Tribulation Worship and is dead set on acquiring the throne and
becoming the new Demon King. If we fail to catch some children as an
offering, we would get beaten into a pulp for sure."
"Let’s hurry up. I managed to chance upon several children playing by

the lake. Some of them were extremely mischievous and kept on
shouting something that the Lord of Commoners is a fake lord. I won’t
show them any mercy."
"Good!"
As they finished their discussion, they increased their speed and started
making their way down from the mountain.
When Xu Que heard this, he raised his eyebrows.
"Damn! I thought this race would be good natured. Looks like they’re the
same as demonic beasts and enjoy eating humans!"
Without speaking a word or making a sound, he crept behind the three

of them.
Later on, they arrived at a lake beneath the mountain.
The few demonic humans stopped and hid behind a tree. The snake -
tailed demonic human crept stealthily into the river.
Xu Que slowly walked over towards the edge of the woods and looked
around, noticing several children playing around and were running
towards the lake.
Before long, all of them had reached the lake and a child then picked up
a rock and threw it, causing ripples to form on the surface and water to
splash out.
In that second, Xu Que could faintly hear the snake bodied human
reeling in pain softly.
"Ai, these children really knows how to play but the blame should be on
their parents for not looking after them properly. They even allowed their
children to run amok around the lake. What if… What if… They trample
over the flowerbeds and trees, and damage the e nvironment? What
would happen then?" Xu Que started to worry for mother nature and the
environment all of a sudden.
"Splash!" a loud sound could be heard on the surface of the lake as a

huge wave splashed out from the middle.
"Hehe… little brother, throwing stones must be fun huh? Let me take
you somewhere more fun!" The snake-bodied man splashed out from the
depths of the lake and opened out his arms, dashing towards the group
of children.
At the same time, the pair of demonic humans jumped out from behind
the trees they were hiding to obstruct the path of the escaping children.
"Ah!!!"
"Mom! Dad! Save me!"
The children were so frightened, they started to wail loudly as mucus

ran down their noses.
"The human race’s children are extremely noisy! Quick ly knock them out
before their parents are alerted!" The man with the horns on his head
shouted out and the three of them started closing in on the children.
"What audacity! In full daylight, in full view of everyone, you dare to

bully these children? Stop it right now!"
"Boom!"
All of a sudden, a flash of lightning could be seen as Xu Que rode atop
twin bolts of lightning while he shouted at the demonic humans.
The children and the three demonic humans paused in shock as they
looked up at Xu Que in a daze.

Xu Que’s lips curled upwards as he gripped onto the Great Buster

Sword and pointed it at the three demonic humans and laughed coldly,
"This road was built by me and these trees were planted by me. You’re
in the territory of Heavenly Explosion Faction and dare to kidnap
children here? Have you seeked permission from me, Yang Guo, the
Eagle Warrior?"
(T/N: Yang Guo is the protagonist of popular C hinese film, Legends of

the Condor Heroes)
Clearly, he was sick of pretending to be Hua Wu Que and now decided

to act as Yang Guo.
He had also made an extremely grand entrance. At first, he caused the

rumble of thunder to echoe before riding in over bolt s of lightning. This
caused the three demonic humans to feel some fear.
The minute they saw that Xu Que was a daoist, their faces fell and
looked extremely nervous.
"Damn it! We were discovered by a human daoist."
"We’ve managed to evade detection for s o many years. Could it really

be that today…"
The snake-bodied man looked up as his eyes gleamed, "No. We have to

kill him off. If not, our entire race would be exposed and calamity would
befall."
"Old snake, watch these children. He’s only a mere Golden Core Stage
cultivator. We can handle him." The man with horns on his head nodded
at the children before a killing intent welled up in his eyes.
Xu Que was extremely elated as he shook his head, "I didn’t even say I
was going to kill you and you speak of killing me? If that’s the case,
bring it on. I shall allow you the first ten moves."
The man with horns laughed aloud through gritted teeth, "Wow, what a
boastful man! We don’t need you to allow us ten moves. We’ll-"
"Boom!"
Even before he could finish, Xu Que swung his Great Buster Sword and
slammed it atop the head of the demonic beast. His horns was smashed
into powder as blood seeped out from a crack on his head, dripping
down.
The demonic human was stunned as he looked at Xu Que in shock.
Xu Que shouted out forcefully, "Why are you looking at me like that?!
Didn’t you say you didn’t need me to give you ten moves?!"
"Boom!"
The demonic human’s eyes rolled backwards as he fell heavily onto the
ground with a loud smash. He didn’t even have a time to groan or reply
and died on the spot.
demonic human. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a golden
core!"

The system beeps rang out consecutively as Xu Que turned his gaze
towards the remaining pair of demonic humans, "Come, it’s your turn
now. Tell me, how many moves should I allow you to strike at me?"
The pair of them revealed looks of sheer terror and were so horrified,
they couldn’t even speak. At the next moment, they turned around to
flee.
Xu Que watched them and realized that they didn’t know any movement
techniques and ran physically. He paid special attention towards the
snake-bodied man. Although he had no legs, he ran pretty fast.
Xu Que shook his head and turned around to speak to the kids, "This
hero is going to catch those two bad men. Run along home and
remember not to come this far out without your parent s. Understood?"
"Understood. Thank you Eagle Warrior!" The students nodded their

heads like roosters in acknowledgement.
"Hm! Run along now!" Xu Que smiled as he lifted his Great Buster
Sword and placed it on his shoulder before turning around to pursue the
escaping demonic humans.
At this time, the last child was extremely curious as he chased up with
Xu Que and asked, "Eagle Warrior, where is your eagle? Can I take a
look at your eagle?"
Xu Que paused and replied blandly, "My eagle is sleeping in my pants.

Little children shouldn’t look at it."
As he finished speaking, he turned around and rode atop his lightning

bolts and started chasing after the runaway demonic humans.
The children looked at him in shock as one of them mumbled, "The

Eagle Warrior is so cool. When I grow up, I wish to marry him."
"Idiot. You are a boy."
"Then… I shall let him marry me."

"Right. Your father will beat you to death if you speak like that again."
115 Disguising As A Demon
Chapter 115: Disguising As A Demon

"Whoosh!" The two demonic humans frantically rushed into the forest
and were scared out of their wits.
The snake-bodied human gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! Since
when did human Cultivators get so strong? He killed that old bull in one
move."
"We are finished. The King will definitely not let us off when we return."
Another one of them spoke while sobbing.
"Woosh!" a figure in black robe streaked past the both of them abruptly.
Immediately after, an ink-colored Great Buster Sword appeared in front
of them, blocking their path.
"The both of you were already running too slow and still have the time to
chit-chat?" Xu Que stood in front of them and laughed.
The demonic human’s expressions fell. They replied with trembling

voices, "How…nhow could this be? How is he able to catch up to us?"
"Why not? Stop with this crap and quickly give me your necks. I wil l
finish the both of you off in one move."
"Mercy, noble warrior! We were being forced!" The fur -tailed human sat
down on the ground and scowled.
Xu Que looked at the snake-bodied human and laughed, "He’s already

kneeling down to beg for mercy. How about you? You have quite the
guts!"
The snake-bodied human shook his head with a gloomy look on his face
and replied, "I… I want to kneel down but I don't have legs and can’t do
it!"
"..." Xu Que smacked his lips and propped his Buster Sword on the
ground. He then said, "Answer me first. What do the both of you mean
by the Thunder Tribulations Worship?"
The fur-tailed man immediately replied, "This is a kind of worship used

to elect our new Demon King. It happens once every ten years and
everyone from different tribes can participate in it. The one who
possesses the mightiest powers to pass the Heavenly Tribulation will be
the newly-appointed Demon King."
"Just like that? What if nobody participates in the Heavenly Tribulations

on the day of worship?" Xue Que questioned in doubt.
The snake-bodied human shook his head, "That is impossible. A few

years prior to the worship, those who are required to participate in the
Tribulation will have to suppress their Heavenly Tribulation date until the
actual day of worship arrives."
"Oh, the Heavenly Tribulation can even be suppressed?" Xu Que

became excited.
"Of course! One only needs to seal his own strength and restrain his
aura to be able to put off his own Heavenly Tribulation. On top of that,
over a long period of time, one may be able to call upon even greater
and more powerful Heavenly Tribulation!"
"Are you guys courting disaster?" Xu Que became a little speechless.

When one’s Heavenly Tribulation become greater and more powerful, it
will become increasingly difficult to cross. If a person dies during it, he
wouldn’t even become a Demon, let alone a Demon King.
"When does the Thunder Tribulations Worship start?"
"Two days later!" the snake-tailed man replied.
Oh? Two days later?
Xu Que’s eyes lit up. His own Heavenly Tribulations was also
coincidentally in two days’ time!
‘This is going to be fun. My Heavenly Tribulations is in the Difficult

Mode. I shall compare whose Tribulation is harder!’
He then thought of something. Turning to the two demonic humans, he

asked, "How many people will be participating in the Thunder
Tribulations Worship this time round? What Cultivation stage will all of
them be roughly?"
The both of them looked at each other and laughed bitterly, "We don’t
know exactly how many people due to the many different Tribes
participating. However, this year, there are only two suitable candidates
to be appointed as the new Demon King."
"One of them is the King of our Thousand Demon Tribe, the Tiger -
Dragon King. Another one of them is the King from the Sky Demon
Tribe, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox! They have already been in the Full
Foundation Original Infant Stage for many years. They have been
stabilizing their powers for a long time just for the Thunder Tribulations
Worship in two days’ time!"
"Only at the Full Foundation Original Infant Stage?" Xu Que picked his
brows and asked again, "Only the demon-race can join the Thunder
Tribulations Worship?"
"Mm, that’s right."
"As long as one is half-man half-demon, he is allowed to participate?"
"Correct."
"If one is of demon-raced but looks a little like a human on the outside,
can he still participate?"
"It should be… alright."
"That’s all. You guys may go but don’t let me see your faces again." Xu
Que waved his hand, prompting the both of th em to leave his sight.
The two demonic humans were stunned. They were somewhat in doubt
of his words. After looking at one another, they quickly fled the scene
without a single word as if afraid that Xu Que would go back on his
words anytime.
On the other hand, Xu Que grinned from ear to ear while looking at the
both of them fleeing into distance. After they completely vanished from
sight, Xu Que took his time and calmly executed his Lightning Haste,
following their path.
Letting these two demons off so easily? Of course not.
Xu Que’s only thought was to take the opportunity to sneak into their
tribe and cross the Tribulation. This way, he could earn some act tough
points.
The two demonic humans were fast on their tracks. Moreover, they were
on a desolate and narrow path filled with pitfalls and traps.
However, it was a pity that these two men had never trained any form of
martial arts. As a result, it was an easy task for Xu Que to follow them
far from behind without being detected.
Soon, after bypassing several hidden tunnels, Xu Que and the two
demonic humans appeared within a lush forest.
To the sides of the forest were protective walls formed by several spells.
It looked very majestic.
Also, vague pulses of killing intent could be felt from it.
Xu Que could not help but be amazed. He could see that it was at least
a mid-ranked Spell.
At the same time, the two demonic humans outside the Spell Area
muttered intelligible chants before the protective walls immediately
opened up and an entrance took form.
Before Xu Que could take a peek at what was beyond the protective
wall, the two demonic humans had already stepped inside, after which,
the entrance on the wall closed quickly.
"Seems interesting. I shall put on my disguise for a while."
Xu Que muttered the command and took out an item from within his
system inventory. It was the "Disguise Puppet" which he acquired from
the Big Growth Gift Pack quite a while ago.
Disguises as another party with 100% accuracy and imitates the target’s
Cultivation Stage. However, the user’s true strength is not copied.
Duration: 1 hour. (Disguise targets are limited to Cultivators below the
Infant Transformation Stage.)"
Xu Que had a total of two of these items. However, he never had the
chance to make use of it. In this situation, he could disguise as a
demonic human and sneak into the Tribe without anyone knowing.
On the flip side, there were quite a few limitations of the Disguise
Puppet. It could only be used for 2 hours and the disguise is limited to
Cultivators below the Infant Transformation Stage.
At once, Xu Que called out to the system and asked, "System, is it

possible to increase the usage limit for this Disguise Puppet? Can I also
use it to disguise as something not of this world?"
"Ding! Host is recommended to perform synthesis on the Disguise
Puppet. It will have the aforementioned function after upgrade."
"Sysnthesis?"
While Xu Que was in doubt, the system interface started to change in

front of his eyes and transformed into an interface with a synthesis
function.
There were nine blank grids on the top and they formed a circle. Also,
there were fine lines connecting each of the blank grids, with the last
line connecting to the middle of the circle, which contained larger grid. It
was similar to those online games which also had the synthesis
interface in the previous world.
Xu Que happened to be an avid gamer in the previous world too. After

witnessing this, it was a second nature to him.
He took out both of the Disguise Puppet from his system inventory and
placed them into the blank grids on the outermost layer. He screamed
"Synthesize!" in his mind.
"Ding! Do you want to consume 100 act tough points to synthesis the
Disguise Puppet?"
Damn! Doing this needs points too?
Xu Que widened his eyes momentarily. However, he reluctantly went

with "Yes" in the end.
No choice. No pain, no gain. Treat it as an investment!
"Pew!"
In the moment, the system synthesizing interface started to rotate

rapidly and the two Disguise Puppets started to disappea r. After a white
light flashed past, the system beep sounded.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on successfully synthesizing the
‘High-ranked Disguise Puppet!"
Disguises as another party with 100% accuracy and allows user to freely
choose Cultivation Stage as display. However, the user’s true strength
is not increased or decreased with the Cultivation Stage display.
Duration: 2 hours. (After the duration ends, every hour of extension will
consume 1 act tough point! )"
"Damn! System, you are such a scammer. You won’t even let 1 act
tough point off as a good will charge. Are you even human?" Xu Que
started to reprimand on the spot.
"Ding! I, the system, do not belong to the human race!" The system
answered indifferently.
Xu Que pouted his lips for he knew that he could not do anything about
it. Afterall, there was nothing wrong with that reply.
He took another look at the "High-rank Disguise Puppet" in his system

inventory. It indeed transformed into a High -ranked item after synthesis
and it had much more freedom and choice in his functionality. For
example, one could freely control his Cultivation Stage to be displayed.
In this way, a Qi Refining Stage cultivator could ‘pretend to be a pig to
prey on the tiger’ or act as a Transformation Infant S tager to scare
others.
Of course, the most important part was that he could freely disguise as
anyone. One could say that Xu Que can even disguise as Buddha if he
wanted to!
However, Xu Que felt that he wasn’t a flamboyant person but instead

was very humble and modest. Disguising as Buddha would be too high -
profile for him. Also, that would fall short of the current task of
disguising which was to become a half-man, half-demon.
As such, without hesitation, Xu Que confirmed his appearance to
disguise with the system.
"System, transform me into a messenger who… Tathagata Buddha, the

Jade Emperor and Guanyin Bodhisattva designated to undertake a
journey to the West and had to undergo Huaguo Mountain and Shui Lian
Dong, his aliases are the great Monkey King, The Great Sage whose
name is Sun Wu Kong…"
116 Come And Beat Me Up!
Chapter 116: Come And Beat Me Up!

"Woosh!"
At once, light started to flash past Xu Que’s body. Yellow fur started to
grow on both of his arms, legs, and the sides of his cheeks. At the same
time, a golden band formed on the crown of his head. He also wore a
tiger-skinned robe.
On top of that, his pupils turned into golden color as if he had trained
those pair of piercing eyes himself. He looked very aggressive indeed.
"Ding! Host ‘Xu Que’ had used the High-rank Disguise Puppet and
successfully changed appearance. Please choose your Cultivation
Stage!"
Xu Que lowered his head to take a look at his new appearance. Feeling
satisfied, he let out a big laugh, "I don't think I need to change my
Cultivation Stage. I shall keep it this way!"
Finishing up, he kept his Dark, Heavy Buster Sword within the inventory
and entered the system store again.
He bought a Golden Iron Rod. Although it was merely a One-Star ranked

Rod, if used for acting tough, he felt that it was sufficient.
"Hargh!" Xu Que held onto the rod and its shadow started to form on the
ground and jokingly took on Wu Kong’s style. After adjusting his voice,
he immediately proceeded towards the spell wall.
"Hold it! Who might you be?" The moment he reached the spell area, a
faint voice emerged from within.
Xu Que scratched his head and spun the Rod in his hand. He
mischievously laughed and replied, "I am the Great Sage of Equal
Heaven, Sun Wu Kong. I am here to pay a visit to the Tiger -Dragon
King!"
"Password!"
"What? Password?" Xu Que stunned for a second. This shithole requires

a password? Damn it! I should have asked that two guys just now."
"That’s right. We will not let in those without a password. No

exceptions!" An extremely apathetic voice from within the spell area
could be heard again.
Xu Que became very anxious. Who knew that after he posed so many
questions yet he still didn’t ask if there were any requirements to get
inside the tribe. Srew that!
...
At the same time, not far behind Xu Que, two figures were lying atop a
colossal ancient tree. They were keeping an eye on the spell wall’s
entrance all the while.
Both of the figures were females and behind their backs grew countless
tails.
One of the females who looked rather young had a crimson red tinge to
her tails, akin to a bunch of flames.
The other seemed like a grown-up and charming lady with tails as white
as snow. They looked very clean and well groomed.
Without a doubt, the pair of them were demonic foxes of the demonic
human race!
One of them was a breed of Red Fox and the other was a White Fox.
Additionally, coupled with their alluring appearances, atop each of their

heads grew a pair of hairy and pointy ears. Every blink and smile they
displayed exuded a type of false but charming disposition.
With Xu Que appearing before the spell wall, they were alarmed.
The Red Fox creased her brows and stated with a mellow voice, "Sister,
do you think this Sun Wu Kong is the helper the Tiger -Dragon King
asked for? In the Tribulations, the Tiger-Dragon will be able to summon
Five Heavenly Thunders at most. However, my sister, you have already
successfully cultivated to the Six Tails Transformation and able draw out
the power of Six Heavenly Thunders. I reckon that the Tiger -Dragon
King will try to act against you before the Thun der Tribulations Worship
begins."
"That shouldn't be the case. Although he looks strange, his Cultivation

Stage is only at the Full Foundation Golden Core Stage. With the Tiger-
Dragon King’s personality, he will never call for such a weak helper!"
The female White Fox shook her head and replied softly.
The female Red Fox’s eyes lit up abruptly, "Then we should quickly call
him over. Although Golden Core is not a very high Stage, if we get him
to join us, it will definitely strengthen our Sky Demon Tribe!"
"We should see how it goes before taking any necessary actions. We
should only be wary of him if he tries to get in the Thousand Demon
Tribe rashly without the password!" The White Fox replied dignifiedly.
Both of them continued to focus their attention on Xu Que who was not
too far away in the distance.
At the same time, Xu Que was still contemplating whether he would try
to outwit them or break through the spell wall.
He suddenly thought of an idea and asked the system, "System, do you

have any free ways to break through the spell?"
The system coldly replied, "Break through with brute force!"
"Good idea. What's the probability of a successful breakthrough?"
"After calculations, with the spell in its defensive phase, your probability
of successfully breaking through with brute force is 0% and you may
even suffer heavy damage. However, if you let the spell enter it's
offensive phase, the probability will become 100%. To unlock the
information on how to break the spell, please pay 10 act tough points!"
"Damn you! Do you believe that if you continue this way, I will quit
acting tough altogether?"
"After evaluation, detected that Host’s words and feelings contrasts one
another. Appraisal results: Impossible for Host ‘Xu Que’ to quit acting
tough!"
"Eh, you have the ability to evaluate one’s thoughts? Such a good
function. You should help me take a look into that woman’s thoughts in
the Eighth level of the Tower of Soul and find out what she likes, her
hobbies and whatnot. I don’t believe I won't be able to successfully woo
her!"
"Monkey-head, get lost if you don’t know the password. If not, don’t
blame us for activating the spell and get you killed!"
Just as Xu Que was arguing with the system, a voice could be heard
from within the spell. The tone was menacingly cold and sounded rather
threatening.
Xu Que abruptly stared towards the spell and became furious.
Son of a bitch. You dare to threaten me? Why don’t you go ask the
others who I am? I am not afraid of anyone and my spirit is indomitable.
You dare to threaten me? Hmph! You better wait there!
At the next moment, he laughed grimly, "Are you really sure you want
the password from me?"
"I have orders from the King to not let anyone without the password in,
no exceptions. You should get lost if you know your place!" The person
from within the spell did not budge and replied coldly.
"Alright, you are really pushing me!" Xu Que grinned slightly,

immediately kept his Golden Iron Rod and retreated a step.
Following, he squinted his eyes and accumula ted his Qi within his
dantian. A boundless aura started to brew deep within him.
Back in the woods, the Red Fox girl who was witnessing this scene
exclaimed with eyes filled with excitement, "Sister, take a look! That Sun
Wu Kong... looks like he is about to attack."
"Hmm, but it seems like he is going to suffer. The spell of the Thousand
Demon Tribe is quite strong. It was set by one of the strongest
individuals from the Tribe many years ago. Its defensive powers are
remarkable and can practically reflect any skills. Even powerful Infant
Transformation Stager cultivators had been injured by this spell before."
The White Fox lady stared down and shook her head in disagreement.
Almost at the same time, the person from within the spell was alarmed
and warned in a deep voice, "What are you trying to do?"
"Nothing. Didn’t you want the password? Listen up carefully!" Without
holding back his smile, Xu Que’s eyes suddenly opened wide. His Qi
rushed to his dantian and sang out loudly all of a sudden,
"The-King-called-me-to-patrol-the-mountains… I spin the Human World

round and round, I play my drums, and knock my Gong, life’s a tempo..."
The loud and clear singing voice penetrated into the distance and
resonated through the entire forest.
"The King called me to patrol the mountains, to catch a monk for his
dinner…"
"Boom!"
In the forest, countless birds and beasts became alarmed and fled in
disarray.
The two Demon Foxes were also astonished and became stunned.
"What… what is he singing?" The Red Fox was dumb founded.
The White Fox was also at a loss. She nodded her head and was
speechless.
"The King called me to patrol the mountains, to catch the Tiger -Dragon
King for dinner…"
Before the spell wall, Xu Que was still singing at the top of his lungs. He
got more intense as he sang. While singing, he started to change the
lyrics and substituted the Tiger-Dragon King’s name in.
"Keep your mouth shut!" The voice from within the spell, which remained
silent, seemed to have reacted. A furious roar abruptly followed.
"This mountain stream’s water, sweet as can be, both the pair of
mandarin ducks and the immortal are not enviable…" Xu Que did not
care and continued to sing intently. He accompanied his singing with a
small dance and displayed a cheap and lowly image of himself. It was as
if there were five characters written on his face-- ‘Come and beat me
up!’
117 You, Obscene Monkey!
Chapter 117: You, Obscene Monkey!

"You’re courting death!" The voice from within the spell sounded furious
as he emitted a roar which shook the ground.
"Boom!"
Soon after, the spell wall in front of Xu Que let out a deafening boom.
The entire protective wall of the spell started to turn and Qi could be
seen swirling around in preparation to lash out.
In no time, the spell wall started to distort, as if iy was transforming into

the mouth of a blood basin. The spell brought about an intense killing
intent and covered Xu Que in an instant.
"Hehe... I’m waiting!" Xu Que also stopped singing and let out a
mischievous laugh. He then started to gather a bunch of Molten Green
Lotus flames in his left hand and the Bone Freezing Fire in his right.
"Bam!"
He joined both of his palms together and the pair of flames started to
splash against one another. All of Xu Que’s fingers started to move in
perfect sync as the balls of flames squeezed against one another!
At the same time, behind Xu Que, back in the forest...
The pair of Demon Foxes could only see Xu Que’s back view. They also
saw that the spell had already entered its offensive Killing mode and
ramping up its attack. Both their expressions changed.
The Red Fox girl anxiously cried out in alarm, "Why… why is he not
escaping? Sister, let’s quickly save him!"
"Oh no! He must have beeen scared stiff. Let’s go over quickly!" The
White Fox lady also cried out.
The both of them jetted off the ancient tree. So quickly that they
transformed into white and red beams of light.
However, the spell had already shrouded over Xu Que’s head.
"Not good! We won't make it in time!" Despair started to show in both

the Demon Fox ladies’ eyes.
However, at the next moment, they were dumbfounded.
They witnessed Xu Que’s image becoming fuzzy. Following that, a green

and faint light filled the air, accompanied by pieces of willow leaves
floating in the air. Xu Que had disappeared in an instant.
"What… What’s this skill?"
"How magical!"
The two Demon Fox ladies were awestruck.
"Woosh!"
At this time, Xu Que abruptly appeared beside one of the trees. He was
standing not too far away from the two Demon Fox ladies.
The three of them met eyes and were all startled by each other.


The skill which Xu Que just executed was the "Dark Willow Limbo" wh ich
he had stolen from one of the Sky Incense Valley disciples. He did not
expect to bump into the two pretty ladies after he had retreated from the
attack.
Damn! Pretty fox ladies! How charmingly breathtaking!
Xu Que became alarmed after looking at them and at the same time,
that Killing spell behind him had already extended out towards him. The
protective spell wall stretched into a huge mouth -like figure. It covered
the skies with an intense killing intent, akin to a catastrophe which was
about to descend.
Ignoring what was happening, the unfazed Xu Que held the "Buddha’s
Fiery Lotus" in his hand which he had just finished casting. He rushed
towards the two ladies with a wide smile, "Hi, my pretty ladies! I am the
Great Sage Sun Wu Kong from the Heavenly Explosion Faction and I am
currently single. May I know how should I address the pair of you?"
"Umm…" The two Demon Fox ladies were astonished and didn't know
how to react to his words. They stared at Xu Que blankly. Is it the time
to be exchanging greetings?
"This is not good. Sis-sister, Sun Wu Kong, run quickly!" At this time, the
Red Fox lifted her head and looked up. The spell was already almost
enveloping them. She let out a shiver and cried out in alarm.
"Run!" The White Fox lady also react ed quickly. After the Red Fox girl’s
warning, both of them simultaneously retreated.
At this critical moment, they had no time to care about Xu Que.

However, they could tell that Xu Que was capable of escaping and thus
evacuated themselves.
However, when the both of them retreated, they realized that Xu Que
wasn't intending to run. On the contrary, he was standing at his original
spot and was smiling at them from ear to ear. He was even waving to
them.
"Is… is he an idiot? Eh, why is he not running away? " The Red Fox girl
panicked and stomped her foot.
The White Fox girl was also stunned and she shouted, "Sun Wu Kong,
escape quickly!"
"Oh yeah, give me a moment. Let me explode this dog shit of a spell
first and make a name for my Heavenly Explosion Faction!" Xu Que
nodded and replied calmly.

After the system beep, Xu Que calmly turned his body and lightly moved
his arm forward in a smooth motion.
"Har!" A bunch of erratic moving Buddha’s Fiery Lotus flames floated

outwards gently, akin to a thread connecting a needle. It then started to
blossom but was engulfed by the spell in the blink of an eye.
Following that, Xu Que stepped on his lightning a nd rushed out swiftly.
The two Demon Fox ladies were still having doubts over Xu Que’s words
of "Explode this dog shit of a spell". However, after witnessing him
rushing out, they let out a sigh of relief.
"Sun-" Just as the Red Fox girl was preparing to shout for Xu Que to
escape with them, a magnificent blaze burst forth, akin to a golden
explosion!
The two Demon Fox ladies were stunned.
"Boom!"
In an instant, a ear-splitting explosion resonated and filled the air in all
directions.
The entire ground shook violently. The violent energy tore the entire
spell wall into pieces and ripples could be seen forming out of thin air.
Instantly, the energy broke out of the wall.
The Two Demon Fox ladies were dumbfounded. They had not seen such
a destructive display of power before.
Also, the energy ripples destroyed countless trees after breaking

through the spell wall.
Luckily, the ladies were further into the forest and avoided the
destruction. However, the strong gust of wind caused by the explosion
rushed towards them and sent them flying!
"Ladies, be careful!" Xu Que had a serious and imposing look on his

face. He rushed over from the distance and like a firefighting hero,
spread his arms, leapt high into the air and pounced on them.
The two Demon Fox ladies did not have time to react. With a "Plop",
they were pinned on the ground by Xu Que and was left with a look of
confusion and astonishment.
‘Careful? What do you mean careful?’
"Rustle, rustle~~"
Afterwards, a gust of wind blew over.
Danger was over!
Seeing that the calamity was over, Xu Que propped his body up and let
out a sigh of relief. He exclaimed earnestly, "What a close shave! I
almost inured the both of you! Are you alright? Any injuries? I should
help to do a body check-up. I am an awesome doctor…. Eh, what’s this
soft thing?"
"Ah! What… what are you doing?" The Red Fox girl let out a sharp
scream stood up in panic, and covered her chest area. She stared at Xu
Que with an angered look.
The White Fox lady also fixated her eyes and stare d at Xu Que in fury.
Xu Que was in an awkward situation. He laughed bitterly and waved his

hand, "My bad. This was just a misunderstanding. For real, I am just
cracking a joke. I didn’t think that I would… have actually touched it."
He originally wanted to act tough and act as the hero saving the
beauties. Who would have thought that the Buddha’s Fiery Lotus’s
powers were so unimpressive. Its impact didn’t manage to reach over
and thus he didn’t have a valid reason to press his arms onto their
chests. One had a large chest and the other was flat chested and the
both of them were soft and silky on touch!
"You… Obscene monkey!" The Red Fox girl judged and pointed at Xu
Que.
"Little Fox, be reasonable. When I touched you just now, how was I to
differentiate your chest from your back since you’re so flat? And it
wasn’t on purpose. d
Do you have to insult me and call me obscene?" Xu Que stared and

rebutted.
"You… You…" The Red Fox girl’s face was filled with embarrassment
and anger. She could not think of anything to scold Xu Que anymore.
The White Fox lady also reacted to Xu Que’s words and blushed slightly.
She was somewhat angry and stared at Xu Que.
Xu Que took the initiative and spoke confidently, "Big Fox, don’t look at
me this way too. When I touched you just now, it just felt like touching a
pillow. The reason was that it was too big!"
118 Wang Zhai Little Bun
Chapter 118: Wang Zhai Little Bun

The White Fox lady froze.
‘This… This monkey, how dare he say…’
"Smelly monkey, stupid monkey, how dare you take liberties with my
sister?! I’ll fight it out with you!" the Red Fox girl brandished her claws
and fangs as she rushed towards Xu Que.
Xu Que extended his arm and pressed his hand on the little Red Fox’s
head.
No matter how much the fox swayed her arms and kicked, her reach
wasn’t long enough to hurt Xu Que.
"Wang Zhai Little Bun, how are you going to fight me with your stumpy
arms and legs? I am the famous long-legged big brother!" Xu Que
replied disdainfully.
(T/N : Wang Zhai refers to a cereal drink which has a very cute child for
a mascot)
"You… Smelly monkey! How shameless!" The little Red Fox

embarrassedly chided but no matter how much force she used, she
could not advance and could only punch and kick the air.
"You have no boobs!" Xu Que rebutted indifferently.
"Smelly monkey, I…"
"So flat!"
"You…"
"Like an airport runway!"
"Stupid monkey, shut your trap!"
"Wang Zhai Little Bun!"
"You…" The little Red Fox was furious and her three furry tails suddenly
lit up.
Witnessing the situation, the White Fox lady let out a frown and shouted,
"Enough! Stop quarreling! Sister, stop your nonsen se. Sun Wu Kong,
who exactly are you?"
"Hmph!"
Upon seeing her sister getting angry, the little Red Fox did not dare to
press on further. She pouted her little lips and retreated while staring
menacingly at Xu Que.
Xu Que then tidied up his clothes and laughed slightly, "I am Sun Wu
Kong, from the Heaven Explosion Faction. The reason I am here today
is to watch the Thunder Tribulations Worship!"
"So you are here to find the Tiger-Dragon King?" The White Fox lady
asked.
"Yes, but his people are too aggressive. They chased me for no reason."
Xu Que shook his head.
The both Demon Fox ladies immediately blanked out and were left
speechless.
‘Too aggressive? They can't be as aggressive as you though. You sang

at the top of your voice all of a sudden and destroyed the Tribe’s entire
spell in one move…’
The both couldn’t help but turn their heads and looked at the
mountainous spell area of the Thousand Demon Tribe.
The area had turned into ruins. White smoke could be seen everywhere
and it was a tragic sight to behold. Corpses of several Golden Core
Stagers could be seen lying everywhere. Those closer to the impact
zone had completely evaporated from utter destruction.
More importantly, an ancient one which had been passed down

centuries ago was gone just like that. It was destroyed in one move by
this ‘Sun Wu Kong’!
Such a terrifying display of strength had left everybody’s hearts in

palpitation.
"Let’s go. Since the Tiger-Dragon King does not welcome me, I shall
reluctantly stay over at your place for th e next two days, Nine-tailed
Demon Fox!" Xu Que smiled from ear to ear and told the White Fox
Lady.
The White Fox lady was alarmed as she retreated a step and asked, "Do
you know me?"
"I don’t, but I am not blind. You are at the Full Foundation Infant
Transformation stage and a beautiful lady of the fox race. You totally
suit the position as the Queen of the Sky Demon Tribe!"
Xu Que had already guessed this some time ago. This White Fox lady
had so many tails and must’ve been the leader of the fox race.
Also, she was exactly how he had imagined. A prideful and dignified Full
Foundation Infant Transformation stager. She was definitely the Queen
of the Sky Demon Tribe. She was the other candidate contesting for the
throne of the new Demon King apart from Tiger-Dragon King!
The White Fox lady let out a hearty laugh, "Since you’ve guessed my
identity and still showed me disrespect, you must be a demonic human
too. I can punish you for breaking the rules!"
"Queen, calm down! I really didn't mean to do it." Xu Que insincerely

asked for pardon and his tone was extremely relaxed.
The White Fox lady frowned, "Sun Wu Kong…"
"Please call me the Great Sage!" Xu Que corrected her.
"..." The two Demon Fox ladies were speechless once again.
"Boom!"
At this point, a majestic aura could be felt abruptly coming from a

distance away.
"Infant Transformation Stagers?" Xu Que blanked out for a moment.
Both the Demon Fox ladies had grim expressions and were clearly
alarmed, "Not good. The elders from Thousand Demon Trib e have come.
Let’s leave this place quickly."
"Sun Wu Kong, come with us." The White Fox lady glanced at Xu Que
and asked in a soft voice.
"Please call me the Great Sage!" Xu Que corrected her again. However,
he did not hesitate and followed the both of them.
Based on the strength of the aura, there were at least three or four
Infant Transformation Stagers. No matter how much strength Xu Que
had, in the face of three or four Infant Transformation stage cultivators,
his only choice was to escape.
Unless he had 30 levels of Glory stacked, he would be powerless in

front of them! After all, the Infant Transformation cultivation stage was
extremely powerful!
With the pair of them leading the way, Xu Que followed closely as they
wormed their way into a deep and dark cave.
This was a very complicated cave with many hidden tunnels. Some of
them were similar and connects to other parts of the cave but some led
to dead ends. It was an enormous labyrinth.
On top of that, Xu Que could feel light flowing past on the stone walls as
if protective spells were alive within the walls.
"Thousand Demon Tribe had the giant mountain spell as a means of

protection passed down from generations ago. We, the Sky Demon
Tribe, have something of our own too. Unless someone has a m ap or
the Token of Passing, or was being led personally by us, he will never
be able to find his way." The White Fox lady explained as they coursed
through the cave route.
"If this place is so safe, why did the both of you go to the entrance of the
Thousand Demon Tribe?" Xu Que shrugged his shoulders and objected.
Although this cave was very complicated, if they use brute force to gain
entry, it would not be a problem at all.
After hearing that, the White Fox lady replied bitterly, "There was a
traitor from our Tribe and he handed the map and Token of Passing to
the Thousand Demon Tribe, so…"
"So you wish to strike preemptively, and kill Tiger -Dragon King first?"
"That’s not the case. We’ve heard that the Tiger -Dragon King had hired
assassins from a killing organization named Tian Sha to prevent me
from participating in the Thunder Tribulations Worship!"
"Don’t they have Infant Transformation Elders? Why do they still need to
hire assassins?" Xu Que asked curiously.
The Red Fox girl heard and rolled her eyes at Xu Que, "Smelly monkey,
are you really a demonic human? How can you not know this. The
Thunder Tribulations Worship is a sacred ceremony. The Elders have all
made a vow with their own Heart’s Devil to never interfere in it. If they
do so, they will be destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulations."
"Oh, no choice. I’ve travelled the world and led a wandering existence
from young. I’ve almost forgot about the teachings of our ancestors
while trying to achieve world peace." Xu Que shrugged his shoulders
and lied.
The two Demon Fox ladies was already used to his eccentric personality
and didn’t doubt him.
After all, the odor on his body along with his appearance points him
being a part of the demonic human race!
Quickly, they rounded more than half of th e cave and they could start to
see some light. They were nearing the exit.
The White Fox lady turned and faced Xu Que, "The exit is up ahead.
Remember, don’t spout nonsense when we get out. If the Elders hear it,
there will be trouble!"
"Rest assured. I do not like to speak nonsense." Xu Que slapped his

chest and made a solemn vow.
Both of the ladies had blank expressions on their face and looked
speechless. They obviously didn’t believe Xu Que’s nonsense.
"Xiu!" At this time, trouble started to brew.
A faint light beamed past Xu Que. The sounds whistled through the air
and something appeared around the White Fox lady’s body.
The light was a result of the flying sword which looked thin and delicate.
It seemingly appeared out of thin air and abruptly flew towards her snow
white neck silently.
Both the White Fox lady and Red Fox girl were completely unaware of it!
119 Eat My Rod!!
Chapter 119: Eat My Rod!！

"Careful!"
Xu Que’s expression changed as he waved his Golden Iron Rod in

response.
The two Demon Fox ladies also reacted quickly and stepped back in an
instant.
However, it wasn’t because they sensed danger but rather, they thought
that Xu Que wanted to take advantage of their bodies again.
Yet they were wrong this time.
"Dang!"
Inside the pitch-black cave, a spark burst forth. Xu Que had slammed
his rod against a flying sword. As a result, the sword ricocheted and
embedded itself deeply into the stone wall.
Meanwhile, five Original Infant Staged killers, dressed in white and each
with a red mask had appeared. They surrounded Xu Que and the two
ladies within the narrow cave.
Xu Que was overjoyed. Wasn’t this bunch of killers from the same
organization as the ones trying to kill the Flaming Sun Princess back
then?
"So these are the killers from Tian Sha? They don ’t look out of the
ordinary." Xu Que waved his rod, lowered his body and smilingly stared
at the five killers.
"Tian Sha!"
Both the White Fox lady and Red Fox girl reacted. They had
misunderstood Xu Que’s intentions and realized that they had met with
real danger!
"So you’ve come. Who would imagine that Tiger -Dragon king would
strike so quickly." The White Fox lady’s eyes turned cold and continued
with a grim tone, "However, attacking us in our Tribe’s territory
entrance, aren’t you people a little overc onfident?"
"Haha! I was told that the Demon Fox race ladies are remarkably
beautiful and they are naturally charming with their eyes and lips being
so seductive. Today, I’ve finally seen it for myself and you ladies indeed
live up to your reputation."
"Too bad that you beauties are gonna be killed soon."
"The reason we’ve launched an attack within the entrance of the Sky
Demon Tribe is that we are indeed confident of killing all of you. If not
for that monkey’s quick reflexes, you would’ve already been dead long
ago." The five killers laughed grimly and their attentions slowly shifted
towards Xu Que.
They realized that they shouldn’t lose sight of Xu Que after his quick
display of deflecting their attack.
"To be able to break my Spirit-Grabbing Flying Sword’s attack, you must

have a high soul strength. We are fortunate that you are still at the
Golden Core cultivation stage. If not, we would have failed our mission
today." One of the Full Foundation Original Infant staged killer stared at
Xu Que and let out a chilly laugh.
"You flatter me, you flatter me!" Xu Que laughed mischievously, "I was
just asking myself, how did my reflexes get so quick? Looks like it was
due to the increase in my soul strength."
The Red Fox girl abruptly rolled her eyes, "Stupi d monkey. They are not
complimenting you! Why are you acting humble?"
The White Fox lady became serious, "Sun Wu Kong, don’t be careless.
They are an elite group of killers from Tian Sha and experts at that. I’m
afraid that we may not achieve victory eve n if we face the weakest
fighters from Tian Sha!"
"Don’t be afraid, just now I…" Xu Que waved his hands, not giving a
care.
But before he finished, he was interrupted by the White Fox lady, "Wait,
listen to me. I know that your Buddha’s Fiery Lotus move was very
powerful. Still, bear in mind not to use it inside this cave. If not, the
consequence will be dire!"
"Actually, what I wanted to say was that Hua Wu Que, who was from my
Heaven Explosion Faction, killed tens of them a while back. Both of you,
stand aside and watch. I won’t even need to use the Buddha’s Fiery
Lotus to dispose them!" Xu Que replied light heartedly.
The pair of Demon Fox ladies were astonished.
Upon hearing that, the killers immediately emitted their murderous

intents which filled the cave.
They glared at Xu Que and asked with chilly tones, "We had ten over
members who’ve lost their lives back in Fire Nation. Do you have any
relations to that incident?"
"Just a little. After all, it was done by the Heaven Explosion Faction. If
you guys are not happy, you can wage a war with my Faction. We shall
see who will suffer the most." Xu Que smiled from ear to ear and
replied.
The killers laughed ominously, "Hehe… Heaven Explosion Faction?

Never heard of it. The Tian Sha is well-known throughout the Five
Nations. You want to challenge our organization with your puny
Faction?"
"What? Our Heaven Explosion Faction is not that famous yet?" Xu Que
was startled.
He pointed at them and exclaimed, "Let me spell it out to you guys. The
one who destroyed the entire Celestial Sect was Xu Que. The one who
single-handedly exterminated the Blood River Sect was Xiao Yan. The
one who previously killed tens of your organization members was Hua
Wu Que. We still have quite a few more members who are more low -
profile. For example, the Condor Hero Yang Guo, the Renegade
Immortal Akuma Wang Lin. Ye Fan, who could cover the Heavens with a
palm. The one with seven wives, Wei Xiao Bao, the First Generation
Sect master Duan Mu Ci, and more. Oh, and there’s also me, the Great
Sage, equivalent to Heaven, Sun Wu Kong!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!! " The five killers laughed out loudly in harmony.
"A mere Golden Core staged monkey, who’s neither a human nor
demon, dares to proclaim himself as the equivalent of heaven, the Great
Sage?"
"We will consider letting you enter Hell and be a dead monkey there!"
After finishing his sentence, an icy look flashed within their eyes. One by
one, they held up their bloody red daggers which were as thin and
delicate as cicada’s wings and rushed viciously towards Xu Que and the
pair of Demon Fox ladies.
Their speed was so quick that their movements looked strange. It was
as if they disappeared into emptiness and reemerged into an erratic
attacking stance.
The Red Fox girl only cultivated at the G olden Core Stage, level 2, and
was no match for the group of enemies. She was immediately pulled
behind shielded by the White Fox lady.
However, it was futile.
To the killers of Tian Sha, there was nobody they could not assassinate
in this world.
"Die!"
One of the killers who was at the Original Infant Stage level 9 suddenly
emerged from behind the White Fox lady. Wielding his icy and crimson
red dagger, he aimed for the Red Fox girl’s throat.
"Xiu!"
At this point, a Flying Sword appeared!
The sword cut through the air purposefully and soundlessly appeared
right in front of the killer’s eyes.
"What…"
"Pu!"
The killer widened his eyes. His hidden face beneath the mask
displayed outright astonishment. Before he could finish his scream, the
Flying Sword penetrated the area of his brows and killed him on the
spot.
"Spirit-Grabbing Flying Sword? How is that possible?"
"How are you able to use the skill exclusive to our organization?"
The other four killers were dumbfounded. They looked at Xu Que in ut ter
disbelief.
Escaping death by the skin of her teeth, the Red Fox girl turned pale.
The White Fox lady’s face was filled with shock too.

Staged cultivator. The reward is 200,000 experience and 1 x storage
ring!"

Xu Que waved his hand lightly with the wind, "I forgot to tell you guys. I
am a genius. No matter what skill, I will be able to learn it in one look.
Do you know why? It’s because I have the Golden -Fire Eyes. Come,
take a look, it’s these! They are gold in color!"
He stretched his hand and pointed at his golden colored eyes and
proudly proclaimed.
But in actuality, this "Spirit-Grabbing Flying Sword" was only being

mimicked by the "Phaseless Magic". Although not as powerful as the
original, this type of Flying Sword skill required a very high level of soul
strength. With Xu Que’s powerful soul strength, this skill’s prowess was
frightening, even if it wasn’t at full power.
"How deceiving and full of nonsense! Let’s kill this monkey first!"
The killer who had his Flying Sword skill imitated felt thoroughly
embarrassed. He let out a deep war cry and rushed towards Xu Qu e
along with the other three killers.
Based on their experience, it was clear that Xu Que was more of a

threat than the White Fox lady. They knew that they had to dispose of
him first.
"Sun Wu Kong, be careful!" The White Fox lady’s expression fell. She
prepared her skill and wanted to aid Xu Que.
However, Xu Que laughed plainly, "Don’t come! Stay over there and
witness me killing all of them with a swing of my rod!"
Finishing his sentence, he focused his eyes upon his targets. The Iron
Rod abruptly spun in his hand, and he leapt upwards.
"Eat my rod!"
Xu Que let out a shout and smashed his rod at the distorted looking air
on his left. He anticipated where the killer was about to move to.
"Wam!"
One of the killers, who was at the Original Infant Stage Level 8, abruptly
landed on the ground. His skull was smashed on the spot, and he turned
into a mist of blood.
120 We Are A Pair Of CP!
Chapter 120: We Are A Pair Of CP!

"What?"
Three shocked voices could be heard from the distorted moving air
around.
The three killers were appalled and reappeared from the hollow air, then
retreated explosively from Xu Que while their faces were filled with
astonishment.
One smash from his rod was enough to kill a Level 8 Original Infant
Staged killer. How… How was this possible?
How can a Golden Core Stager achieve this?
The pair of Demon Fox ladies were dazed as well. Although they had
witnessed the destructive powers of Xu Que’s Fiery Lotus, little did they
know that Xu Que’s strength was insurmountable even without that skill.
Although the strike of his rod was imbued with his skill power, it would
not have been so powerful without Xu Que’s inner strength. If he didn’t
possess such strength, he would not be able to kill the Level 8 Original
Infant Staged killer so easily!

Staged cultivator. Acquired 200,000 experience and x1 item hoard!"

"The Killer Sword’s passive ability is so useful!" Xu Que smirked. The

additional added strength would stay as long as the Killer Sword was
still in his possession.
This maximum Glory would stay passively and would not drop levels as
long as he did not sustain any injury.
Even without activating Soaring Dragon Nine Transformations, he was

able to crush a Level 8 Original Infant Staged killer into blood mist. Such
an additional boost of strength was terrifying indeed!
Xu Que was over the moon. Carrying his rod over his arm, he starting to
sing a modified theme from Journey to the West, "I’ve just searched two
mountains! I’ve touched another river again! The killer’s wife is rich and
flooding with gold! Hey, hey! Eat Sun Wukong’s rod. Your underpants
will drop when I kill you, your legs shiver and chrysanthemums shall
tremble. I’ll stab and make a giant hole out of you… Forming a street so
big and wide…"
The Two Demon Fox ladies started to reveal bitter smiles. They were
wondering why the monkey was starting to sing again and wh y did the
lyrics sound so weird?
"We can’t continue! This monkey is too strong!"
"Mission failed! Let’s retreat!"
The three killers were decisive and determined whenever they undertook
missions. However, after meeting with Xu Que’s peculiar powers, they
immediately chose to retreat.
When an attack misses, retreat a thousand miles!
This was a rule set by killers and also a standard protocol across their
own organization. They will never have doubts which may bring out the
Heart’s Devil.
However, Xu Que had already decided not to let them escape.
He immediately purchased three Cold-Iron Flying Swords from the

system store. Holding them in his hands, he executed the "Spirit -
Grabbing Flying Sword" skill!
"Pff! Pff! Pff!"
In a flash, the three killers collapsed onto the ground in the darkness.


Staged cultivator. Acquired 200,000 experience and a storage ring!"


As the quick Flying Swords disposed of the targets, the system beeps
resounded in Xu Que’s head simultaneously.
However, he soon felt a wave of dizziness. It was akin to having a lack

of oxygen. His vision started to become blur and everywhere was
spinning. His body started to sway and he almost fell over!
The two Demon Fox ladies were still in a state of shock. But after
witnessing Xu Que’s situation, the White Fox lady rushed to him and
held him up, "Sun Wu Kong, what’s happening to you?"
"I don’t know either…" Xu Que was in a daze and the dizziness started
to become more and more intense.
In panic, he asked the system, "System, what’s up with my body?

Quickly activate the regeneration function !"
"Ding! Due to host using the "Spirit-Grabbing Flying Sword" four times in
a day, soul strength is being consumed and you are weakened by 10%."
"What the hell?"
Xu Que was dumbfounded. He needed to consume 10 Empty Sky Pills to

make up for that 10% decrease in his soul strength. That was equivalent
to a whole 100 act tough points!
He then clearly saw the description of the skill, given by the system.
A Sky-rank intermediate skill trained by Mormons, originated from the

lost chapters from ancient times. A homing skill. It is able to chase down
one’s Spirit for thousands of miles. Powerful enough to kill in one strike.
The higher one’s soul strength is, the stronger the skill potential!
(Warning: This vicious skill consumes a very high amount of soul
strength and is limited to two uses per day. If one presses on and
exceeds daily usage, it will automatically weaken his soul strength!)
"God-damnit! I’m gonna faint!" Xu Que eyes rolled and immediately fell
into the White Fox girl's breasts.
This time, his head was perfectly positioned and fell into her breasts. He
immediately felt his head being cushioned and surrounded by silky and
soft flesh. On top of that, a vague and light fragrance entered his nose.
Xu Que decided to continue to act like he had fainted and remained
there!
He immediately shut his eyes tight and lay against the White Fox lady’s
body as he scolded himself incessantly in his head.
Previously, he had used the Phaseless Magic to imitate the "Spirit -

Grabbing Flying Sword", and it was all because he witnessed that the
Red Fox girl was in danger. He made the decision in a split second and
had no time to read the skill’s description.
Who knew that a mere Tian Sha killer possessed a Sky -rank skill, and
an intermediate leveled one at that.
However, upon reading the description of the "Spirit -Grabbing Flying

Sword", it really lived up to its rank. It was able to take down an Original
Infant Stager in one move and not every skill could achieve that.
Its only disadvantage was that its limit was too much, being able to be
used only twice a day. If overused, one would ended up in his situation,
in which one’s soul would suffer the consequences and be weakened.
However, he felt that he didn’t suffer any losses. The three killer’s skills
and movements were too erratic. On top of that, Xu Que couldn’t
activate his Mystical Fires easily in such a restricted and narrow space.
If he used the Lightning Haste or the Dark Willow Limbo, he would
inevitably let one or two of them escape.
But now, in exchange for 100 act tough points worth of soul strength, he
managed to kill the entire group of killers and also got to learn a Sky -
rank skill. He didn’t lose anything. Also, after that battle, even if he
deducted the 100 act tough points, he still got to earn an additional
hundred over act tough points!
Thinking up to this point, Xu Que released the tension in his body once
again. He couldn’t help but to let out a smirk and continued to embrace
in the warm and soft sensation.
"Sun… Sun Wu Kong, wake up… What happened to you?" The White
Fox lady was blushing red. Feeling Xu Que’s warm breath on her chest,
her body went a little soft. But she couldn’t just push Xu Que aside, in
fear that he had sustained severe injuries.
The Red Fox girl walked over in time, glanced at Xu Que and cried out
in alarm, "Sister, take a look quickly. This stupid monkey is smiling! He
is just acting like he fainted to take advantage of you."
"What?"
The White Fox lady became surprised and pushed Xu Que aside.
Xu Que shamelessly let out an "Aiya". He held onto the stone wall and
"woke" up.
Squinting his blurry eyes, he asked, "What happened to me? What is

this place? What happened here?"
"You…" The White Fox was sharp. She was aware that Xu Que was
putting on an act and was angered speechless.
She let out a ‘Hmph’, immediately turned her body and walked towards
the exit of the cave.
The Red Fox girl stared at Xu Que, and waved her tiny fist, "Stupid
monkey, smelly monkey! Don’t think that you can take advantage of us
just because you saved us! My sister is the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox!"
"Right, and I am the Great Sage. Don’t you know that in the game, the
Great Sage and Nine-Tailed Demon Fox are a pair of CP?"
"CP? What’s a CP?" The tiny Red Fox was stunned.
"It refers to a match made in heaven. Whatever, I shan’t speak further.

Your sister and I are truly in love. Don’t you try to break us apart. Even
if you take over my body, my heart will never be yours. Goodbye!"
After finishing his sentence, Xu Que strode towards the exit.
The tiny Red Fox stood confused at the same spot. She was extremely
puzzled over Xu Que’s words.
A short moment later, she abruptly reacted. With an angry and bashful
look, she exclaimed, "Stupid monkey! You continue dreaming if you want
to marry my sister!"
However, Xu Que had already followed closely behind the White Fox
lady and left the cave. If he had heard the tiny Red Fox’s words, he
would have told her sarcastically, "You are so clever!"
Outside the cave...
A vast field came into their sight. It was accompanied by many demonic
humans.
All of them looked bizarre. Some of them had a pair of giant wings,
some were humans in their upper halves and a horse for their lower
bodies. Some of them even had horns on their heads belonging to
different animals.
These people were working in the fields and making use of their skills to
harvest the crops.
In the distance, there were countless small houses and many of them
had smoke coming from their kitchen chimneys.
This beautiful scene of nature will practi cally cut any sight-seers off from
reality!
"What a beautiful Tribe!" Xu Que gasped in surprise.
The White Fox Lady was still angry and ignored Xu Que’s words.
However, at this time, a young lady with sheep horns on her head and in
plain clothes rushed over, and anxiously said, "My Queen, something
bad has happened at the Pill Refining House!"
121 The Noble Musician, Xu Que
Chapter 121: The Noble Musician, Xu Que

The White Fox lady creased her delicate eyebrows abruptly, "What’s the
matter?"
"Niu Da Li is still not proficient in Pill -Refining. Xiao Yu feels that he’s
not good enough to become an alchemist. However, there is no one else
in our Tribe who specialized in Pill Refining. Xiao Yu was extremely
furious after they made two stoves worth of failed pills. She then said
she was giving up and locked herself up in her home and refused to
come out." The lady with a pair of sheep horns recounted in panic.
After hearing these words, White Fox sighed and shook her head, "That
silly girl… she must be feeling guilty! After all, the Thunder Tribulations
Worship starts in two days. It’s normal for her to be s tressed. Let me
talk to her."
"No can do, my Queen. Even if you look for Xiao Yu personally, she will
still refuse to come out. The reason she’s hiding at home must be
because of the fact that she wasn’t able to refine the Recuperation and
Blood Circulation Pills and is blaming herself for that." The sheep
horned lady shook her head.
White Fox turned silent with an imposing look on her face. It was clear
that both the pills were very important to her.
After listening up to this point, Xu Que had a rough idea of the situation.
Thumping his chest, he exclaimed, "Don’t fret! I will settle this problem."
"You?" White Fox lady turned her head and looked at Xu Que.
The sheep-horned lady abruptly realized Xu Que’s presence before
them. She scanned him from top to toe unconvincingly and didn’t speak.
Xu Que widened his eyes and nodded, "Yeah, it’s just Pill Refining. I can
do that!"
"You know Pill Refining too?" White Fox lady was taken aback.
"Of course! I am a qualified Alchemist!" Xu Que replied, brimming with

confidence.
Although he had never refined any pills, he had used the Occupation
skill book before. With this current status, even if he wasn’t proficient in
it, the system would allow him to refine a One Star Pill at a 100% rate!
However, the White Fox lady was doubtful. Under normal circumstances,
Cultivators who specialize in Pill Refining don’t usually have powerful
combat strength. After all, these Cultivators would not have the time to
train skills in those aspects after being proficient in refining arts.
With Xu Que’s strength so much more powerful than Original Infant

Stagers, White Fox was clearly doubtful that he was equally proficient in
pill refining.
Still, after hearing his words, the sheep horned lady’s eyes lit up. She
replied quickly, "That’s great! You can become Xiao Yu’s disciple. She
will definitely try again with new hands to help. Let’s go and find her."
Finishing her sentence, she tugged on Xu Que’s hands and rushed

towards one of the houses a distance away.
"What the hell?! Why do I have to be an alchemist disciple?!" While

being pulled along, Xu Que loudly disagreed.
The White Fox lady immediately followed behind, "Stop shouting! Listen
to her and be an alchemist disciple obediently. I still haven’t settled my
debt with you from earlier on!"
"I really fainted just now! I’m telling the truth! The Sun and the Moon can
be my witnesses!" Xu Que vowed solemnly and stopped arguing further.
After all, he did take advantage of her. Xu Que knew that it was smart to
give in this time and not push his luck. He realized he should show
respect sometimes. If not, how will he be able to take advantage of her
again in future?
The White Fox lady rolled her eyes at him and followed behind.
After a while, they arrived before a small house.
The entrance was very clean and the walls were scrubbed white.
However, there were many red carrots hanging from its roof.
Xu Que was surprised. What’s the use of hanging so many carrots like
that? Oh dear me, how sinister-looking!
"Thump, thump!"
At this time, the sheep-horned lady walked towards the wooden door,
knocked lightly and shouted out, "Xiao Yu! Quickly open up! I’ve found a
new alchemist disciple to assist you. He is definitely better than Niu Da
Li!"
"..." There was only silence in the ho use.
However, they could sense that there was indeed someone inside. It
was clear that the person simply didn’t wish to reply.
"Xiao Yu, believe me! I’m not lying. Can you please open the door?" The
sheep-horned lady continued to knock and persuade patie ntly.
Xu Que watched on and shook his head profusely. He retreated several

steps, moved beside the White Fox lady and asked softly, "Who’s this
Xiao Yu? What’s up with the temper?"
White Fox lady stared at Xu Que abruptly before shaking her head. She
sighed out loud, "Xiao Yu was too caught up in the Pill Refining process.
The dangers in crossing the Tribulation this time around is very high for
me since I will call upon the power of the Six Heavenly Thunder
Tribulations. Thus, I have to rely on sufficien t pills to treat injuries which
I will inevitably sustain. Xiao Yu is afraid that I will not have the
necessary pills on time and fail my attempt at the Tribulation, that is
why…"
"That is a small matter. Let me refine them. Let’s go to the Pill -Refining
House!" Xu Que finished his words and was about to leave.
The White Fox lady grasped firmly onto Xu Que’s robes and frowned,
"Stop joking around and quickly think of a way to get Xiao Yu out. If not,
I will settle whatever happened at the cave with you no w!"
"Oh, I have to tell you that I am a fearless man. No use threatening

me…"
"..."
"Alright, alright! Stop looking at me like that. I just have to persuade

someone right? Not a problem. But you have to tell me first if Xiao Yu is
a male or female? And also the age. This way, I can solve the problem
easily."
"..." The White Fox lady relaxed and replied, "Xiao Yu’s ancestry is of
the Jade Hare race. The later generations of this race are all females.
However, Xiao Yu is still very young and her temper is thus that of a
small child’s. Despite that, she has a gift in refining pills."
"Eh, Jade Hare? If that little Jade Hare is called Xiao Yu(Jade), then
what are you called? Little Nine? Little Tail?"
(T/N : Jade is ‘Yu’ in Chinese. This means her name is actually Little
Jade directly translated)
"Now isn't the time to talk about this." The White Fox lady tensed up and
chided him. "If you can get Xiao Yu out, I will tell you."
"That’s too easy." Xu Que let out a complacent laugh.
"Easy? Alright. Yun Er, stop knocking on the door. Let Sun Wu Kong try.
He said that he can get Xiao Yu out easily!" The White Fox lady clearly
thought that Xu Que was merely boasting. Feeling a little peeved, she
shouted for the sheep-horned lady to return.
The sheep horned lady was confused. She looked at Xu Que warily as
she walked past him.
For a stranger to persuade the stubborn Xiao Yu out? How was that
possible?
"My Queen, why don’t you let me persuade her?" Yun Er laughed out
bitterly.
"Not needed. Let him try. If he fails, I shall settle my debt with him!"
White Fox lady stared at Xu Que angrily.
"Fail? What joke are you cracking? I am the Great Sage, Sun Wu Kong.
There’s nothing in this world that I can't accomplish! Isn’t this task
merely about persuading a rabbit out of her home? Too easy!"
Yun Er’s expression changed. She warned cautiously, "Shush! Lower

your voice. Xiao Yu absolutely hates it when people refer to her as a
rabbit! She is not just a rabbit. She is of the Jade Hare race!"
"That’s right! Sun Wu Kong. Stop spouting nonsense. Based on the

legends, the Jade Hares were brought to the Heavenly Palace by a
Goddess. They can thus be called ‘Immortal Heavenly Hares’. What do
you know?" White Fox replied in a deep and serious tone.
"Chh, who doesn’t know that! I even know that the Immortal’s name was
called Chang’e. Soon after, my disciple Marshal Tian Peng tried to take
liberties with her and was punished to becoming a pig. Soon after,
another stupid baldy man became my disciple. The three of us then
embarked on a journey to the west to obtain Buddha’s scriptures." Xu
Que earnestly summarised the story of the Journey to the West.
Both the White Fox lady and Yun Er were taken aback and stared at Xu
Que in confusion.
Xu Que laughed, "But do you guys know why did sister Chang’e bring
the Jade Hare to the Heavenly Palace?"
"I know!" Yun Er immediately replied, "Xiao Yu told me this before. It

was because the Jade Hare race had genuine and pure blood running
through their veins and had very strong soul strengths. They also had an
innate gift for refining medicinal pills. That was the reason the goddess
took them to heaven."
"Bah… You’re wrong! Think about this. If Chang’e didn’t bring a rabbit
up the Heavens, but instead brought just a carrot, wouldn’t her
intentions be too obvious?" Xu Que winked at them and exclaimed, and
gave a ‘You know what I’m saying’ look.
The two ladies really could not understand his meaning.
The White Fox lady shook her head, "Why must she bring the carrot?"
"Um…" Xu Que paused, and laughed, "This is a very deep biological

question! We shall discuss it in detail another day. Isn’t the most
important thing to get that stupid rabbit out of its house? Too easy!
Servants, bring me my Golden Rod. Pah! That’s not right! I mean bring
me my Gu Qin!"
"Gu Qin? What do you want a Gu Qin for? We don’t have it here!"
"It’s obviously to accompany my singing." Xu Que replied, brought out

the system interface and entered the system store.
"System, give me a good quality and cheap Gu Qin!"

Swish!
A ray of llight flashed past his eyes and countless Gu Qins appeared.
Xu Que scanned through and bought the cheapest Charred-Tailed Qin.

He only spent 10 act tough points and reached for it out of thin air.
"Don’t tell me you are going to sing again?"
Upon realizing the situation, White Fox recalled Xu Que singing a song
titled, ‘The King Has Called For Me To Search The Mountains’. The
song was so horrid that it forced a defensive spell to go on the
offensive.
Seeing that he had taken out a Gu Qin, she was appalled. She then
exclaimed in panic, "Xiao Yu’s mood is already poor. Please don’t
provoke her. This move is useless."
Xu Que laughed, " Don’t worry, don’t worry. Besides being a qualified
alchemist, I am also a noble musician, eh, I mean composer. I shall use
music to influence Xiao Yu!"
He had previously acquired five technical ability books at the Tower of

Souls as a reward. One of them was the musician ability.
This was an ingenious ability as it had the ability to influence one’s state
of mind and rationality.
Hence, apart from trying to cajole Xiao Yu out, his other aim was to test
out the power of One Star Musician.
He flung his tiger-skinned robes as he sat on the ground, and harnessed

the Gu Qin on his lap. With both of his hands flat on the instrument
strings, he shut his eyes gracefully and took a deep breath.
With his serious look, he had an invigorating aura around him.
White Fox and Yun’er wanted to speak but after witnessing his imposing
manner and look, they were taken aback for a moment.
"Deng… Deng…"
With a twitch of his finger, he plucked the musical strings gently. What
accompanied was a prolonged and splendid note filling the air.
"This Qin’s sound…"
"He really knows how to play it."
The two ladies were dumbfounded and looked like they were attracted to
the lovely sounds of the Qin.
As the sound of the Qin’s string lingered in the air, Xu Que opened his
mouth. He then started by syncing his vocal chords to the tune, as he
started to sing.
"Little Rabbit, be good, open the door, quickly open it, I want to come
in…"
122 Be Good Little Rabbi
Chapter 122: Be Good Little Rabbit

The Nine Tails Fox lady and Yun’er were stumped.
Based on the alluring melody of the instrument, it was evident that the
lyrics were supposed to be touching and beautiful. Why did this cursed
monkey start singing stupid lyrics like these to ruin the song? And… The
lyrics sounded like he was trying to coax a child to sleep. Wouldn't he
cause the problem to worsen?
At that point, Yun’er hurriedly intervened and spoke out, "Sun… Wu

Kong, what are you doing? Didn't I tell yo u not to call her a little rabbit?
She will really get mad."
"Be good little rabbit, open the door…" Xu Que ignored her and
continued singing, his voice started taking a brighter and happier tone.
His voice was trembling in vibrato, clearly immersed in hi s music.
The White Fox lady folded her arms and shook her head as she
mumbled, "Sun Wu Kong, you're finished. Xiao Yu will come out and bite
you. Anyway you are forbidden to retaliate when she does!"
"Crkkkk!"
All of a sudden, the wooden door to Xiao Yu’s house opened with a
creak.
The White Fox lady and Yun’er seemed to have expected this and shot
Xu Que a sympathetic glance as they turned their heads towards the
door.
A little rabbit girl was standing in the doorway. She had a small pair of
ears standing erect on her head. All of a sudden, she disappeared into a
ray of white light and shot towards Xu Que.
Xu Que stopped playing the Qin at this point as he held the instrument
with both hands and smiled plainly. He wasn't the least flustered.
"This stupid monkey is going to get bitten by Xiao Yu for sure." White
Fox and Yun’er thought to themselves while feeling sympathetic for him.
However, what they saw at the next moment left them speechless.
Xiao Yu dashed out of her home and slammed hard into th e embrace of
Xu Que. However, she didn't bite him as everyone expected her too.
Instead, tears flowed down her eyes as she mumbled, "Big brother
monkey, you sing extremely well. Can you sing for me once again? Your
singing made me think of my mother."
"Sure!" Xu Que patted the head of this little rabbit who looked to be
around eight or nine years old as he smiled warmly at her.
Soon after, he settled his hands down on the Qin once again and started
playing.
Xiao Yu grabbed on tightly to his robes as she leaned in closer towards

him and closed her eyes. She seemed to feel as though she was back in
her mother’s embrace once more!
In actual fact, this effect wasn’t a result of Xu Que’s singing. It was

because of the Qin which he had purchased. After he acquired the One
Star Musician ability, the notes he played had a special effect. Added to
the fact that he sang the song in a nursery rhyme sounding melody, it
caused Xiao Yu to think of her childhood years.
White Fox and Yun’er were dumbfounded. Disbelief w as written all

across their faces.
They had never seen this side of Xiao Yu. She was so mild and gentle
now. She had always been extremely spoilt and demanding, always
insisting on having her way. Although she often refined pills for the
entire race, she would always fly into an intense rage whenever she
failed in making a batch. Whoever disturbed her while she was in that
state would get bitten severely by her.
And yet, she seemed to have been charmed by Xu Que with just a
simple song. This caused both the white foxes to watch on in disbelief.
"My god! Damned monkey, you… You won't even let off a child! Let’s
fight it out." At this point, the sound of a angry shriek rang out from a
distance away. It came from the Red Fox.
She erupted like a volcano after assuming that Xu Que was at his vulgar
ways again. Killing intent swirled around her before radiating outwards
towards him.
Before she could sprint towards Xu Que, she glanced upon the
menacing state casted upon her by the Nine Tails Fox and halted. Th e
White Fox lady then pointed towards them, as if asking her sister to take
another look.
The Red Fox then glanced at Xiao Yu, who looked so sweet and
obedient. She was stumped by her demeanor and continued staring,
clearly shocked.
"How… How’s this possible?" She mumbled in astonishment.
At last, the melody from the Qin ceased. Xiao Yu had already fallen
asleep in Xu Que’s embrace.
While he was playing the Qin, he incorporated a sleep inducing spell

within the melody. Although he had no idea how he cou ld play the Qin,
he knew that the One Star Musician talent was gifted to him by the
system. Thus it felt like it was innate and that he had known how to play
it all his life.
"Carry her back into the room to sleep. When she wakes up, she won’t
be feeling any negative emotions."
Xu Que then handed the sleeping Xiao Yu over to Yun’er.
He then started smiling as he approached the Nine Tails Fox and asked
plainly, "How was that? Didn’t I say it wasn’t going to be a problem?"
"How… How did you do that?" The White Fox lady asked, her eyes were
full of curiosity and suspicion.
Xu Que gave a smirk as he raised his head to the sky and replied, "As
long as I set my mind on something, I will definitely be able to achieve
it."


The system rang out continuously.
He had earned 80 act tough points just like that!
The 10 act tough points which Xu Que had spent was recovered just like
that. He even managed to earn an additional 70 act tough points!
He then looked at the Nine Tails Fox who was stumped as he laughed
out, "Now, you can tell me your name right? "
"Big sister, don’t tell him."
Even before waiting for the White Fox to open her mouth, the little Red
Fox ran over and started whispering something into her older sister’s
ears.
Several seconds later, the White Fox lady’s face started turning red.
She then glared at the little Red Fox, "Do not speak nonsense! You’re
starting to learn all the bad things."
"It’s true sister. He said it himself. He wanted us to…"
"Shut your lips. Go and cultivate. You’ve been playing too much for your
own good." The White Fox spoke out to her younger sister.
The little Red Fox had an expression which showed that she clearly felt
wronged. She looked at Xu Que angrily before running away.
Xu Que stepped forward and laughed out, "She’s still young and it’s
normal for her to be playful. You don’t have to be so strict with her."
"You aren’t any better off." The White Fox rolled her eyes and turned
around to leave.
Xu Que’s lips curled into a subtle smile.

At this point, the White Fox, Nine Tailed lady halted in her footsteps
before speaking against the wind, "My name is called Su Ling’er!"
Xu Que was momentarily stunned.
Shit. Su Ling’er? How are you related to Su Da Ji?
(T/N : Su Da Ji was a mythical fox spirit and concubine for an emperor in

the Shang dynasty.)
"Ka chi!"
At this point, Yun’er came out from Xiao Yu’s room and saw Xu Que
standing alone outside. She paused before asking, "Sun Wu Kong, why
are you still standing out here? Where’s the Queen and little seven?"
"Oh? The little Red Fox is called little seve n?" Xu Que’s eyebrows were
raised.
"Yes, that’s right. What’s the matter?" Yun’er nodded her head.
"Nothing. I was just asking. Oh right, Yun’er. Find me an upper class

suite to stay. Afterall, I’m an esteemed guest of your Queen and a world
renowned Great Sage of the world. After coming here for so long,
nobody’s offered me a cup of tea yet. Surely, it won’t be nice if word of
this gets out?"
"Hehe!" Yun’er started giggling as she replied, "You must’ve made the
Queen angry. If not, she wouldn’t leave you all alone here. Come with
me."
"Yun’er, you are wrong this time. Your Queen is clearly too shy to
remain in my presence. It’s true! Ai, why are you walking so quickly?
Wait up!"
Xu Que started walking faster to catch up to Yun’er.
Before long, he was led into a plain and simple room by Yun’er.
According to Yun’er, all the rooms here looks the same and there aren’t
any special rooms.
"That’s fine. Yun’er, I’m not a person who places too much emphasis on
his own pleasures. Back when I was roaming around the world, I always
used to earth as my bed and the skies for my blanket. I would eat winds
and drink dews. Now that I have such a comfortable room, I am already
extremely satisfied." Xu Que spoke out.
"Hm, that’s good then. Remember not to run around. W e have special
rules in the tribe. Go get some rest. I shall come and find you when Xiao
Yu is awake and we can help her to refine pills"
"No problem. Leave it to me!" Xu Que thumped his chest as he escorted

Yun’er out of the room.
"Thud!"
As soon as the door closed, he conjured the system and entered the
system shop. He then purchased a huge red sofa, a golden silk bed
along with goose feather blankets and placed them all around the room.
He then jumped into his fluffy bed and leisurely scrolled through the
system shops for Alchemist related items.
Afterall, he had his own Tribulations to cross in two days time as well.
He decided to take advantage of this pill refining process to make some
pills for himself.
123 Bleeding Ou
Chapter 123: Bleeding Out

A single One Star Alchemist Ability Book was sold within the system
store for five hundred act tough points.
Although it was extremely expensive, it was worth it. The reason is
because the ability book guarantees a 100% success rate on pill refining
for One Star Pills.
This means that when it comes to One Star pill refining, the f ailure rate
is zero and no pills would be wasted while in the refining process.
Although One Star Alchemists are of the lowest ranks of Alchemists

within the cultivation world, there are extremely few of them in
existence. Hence, even the lowest ranking A lchemists hold lofty
statuses. And none of these One Star Alchemists can guarantee a 100%
success rate when it comes to refining pills. Even if they manage to
attain Five Star or Six Star rankings, there would still be a chance that
they might get distracted while refining the simplests pills and fail or
create a low quality pill.
Once, a Nine Star Alchemist was teaching and helping a disciple to

refine a One Star Pill. While he was busy at work, he made a small error
while controlling the furnace. As a result, half the entire batch of pills
were failures and went to waste. However, that didn’t cause respect for
him to decline. In fact, he was still widely revered and admired since
everyone understood that mistakes happened and that nobody could
achieve a 100% success rate.
Hence, with such an example, even Nine Star Alchemists wouldn’t be

able to confidently say that they can attain 100% success rate when it
came to refining pills!
However, with this particular One Star Alchemist Ability Book, Xu Que
didn’t have to waste time practicing and could boast that he had a 100%
success rate. This caused the disparity between him and other
Alchemists to be very obvious.
That’s why when Xu Que stumbled upon the "Two Star Alchemist Ability
Book" price, he was excited beyond words.
[Two Star Alchemist Ability Book]:

After purchasing and activating, it would cause the user to attain Two
Star Alchemist Ranking. He would be able to refine Two Star Pills at a
100% success rate!
Price : 1500 act tough points.
"Screw this!" Xu Que’s lips curled into a snarl. Compared to the One
Star Alchemist Ability Book, this Two Star Book was more expensive by
a thousand act tough points.
However, while gritting his teeth, Xu Que still purchased the Two Star
Alchemist Ability book.
Xu Que knew that he would require several Vitality Pills and Circulation
Pill in order to successfully make it through the Tribulations. These
concoction could only be refined by a Two Star Alchemist and was thus
naturally expensive.
Xu Que knew about the Vitality Pills and how precious they were. Some
time ago, Sun Jue Li or Elder Sun of Celestial Sect had used a single
Vitality Pill to convince the Sect Leader of Fallen Spirits Sect to attack
Pan Shan Village. This showed its worth and value.
As for the Circulation Pill, it was used to recuperate and heal by

improving blood circulation. To an Original Infant Stage Cultivator,
owning a single Circulation Pill was akin to having a second life.
Su Ling’er also knew that she needed these two pills when it came to
the Thunder Tribulations Worship.
The Vitality Pill was used to maintain and regain Soul Strength, while
the Circulation Pill was used to recuperate and heal up. These pills were
extremely important to her and to Xu Que, who had his own Tribulat ions
to worry about.
Xu Que was unclear on how much difficulties he would face while facing
the tribulations. He also didn’t know if his Spirit Visage Armour would be
able to withstand the Tribulations all the way to the end. So, he felt the
need to prepare some pills for himself.
However, the pill which he needed wasn’t the Vitality Pill nor was it the
Circulation Pill. In fact, it was another type of rare pill.
When it came to regaining his Soul Strength, he could use Smelly Tofu
to help him in that aspect. As for healing and circulation of blood, he
could use the System’s healing function to aid him.
What he truly wanted to refine was the Lightning Evasion Pill!
[太清避雷丹]:
Lightning Evasion Pill :
Two Star Ranked. This pill was first refined during t he ancient days and
is considered a mythical pill. After consuming, it can improve physical
toughness and reduce the effects of lightning during the Heavenly
Tribulations. In fact, whenever lightning strikes the user, he can borrow
the strengths of the lightning to refine his own body, and make himself
stronger.
Although this pill did belong to the cultivation realm, it was a lost art
since almost nobody around knew how to refine it anymore.
Just a single Lightning Evasion Pill was sold for a high price of 200 act
tough points.
And the recipe for the Lightning Evasion Pill costed 1000 act tough
points.
Xu Que knew that he would have to face the Tribulations several times
over the course of his life. Hence, without much hesita tion, he
purchased the recipe.
Along with the Two Star Alchemist Ability Book, Xu Que had spent 2500
act tough points just like that. The feeling was comparable to losing a
large amount of blood.
However, he didn’t regret his purchase. Neither did it cos t him any
heartache. Afterall, the act tough points were there for him to become
stronger.
Xu Que had a feeling that this particular Heavenly Tribulations wasn’t

going to be simple. Hence, he knew that he had to refine this Lightning
Evasion Pill to go along with his Spirit Visage Armour. Only then would
he be confident about his preparations.
"Ding! Congratulations to hots ‘Xu Que’ for activating the Two Star
Alchemist Ability Book. You have ascended the realms of the Two Star
Ranked Alchemist!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for activating the Lightning

Evasion Recipe. You have successfully grasped the methods of refining
it."
Feeling the beeps go off in his head and surge of knowledge flooded
into his mind, Xu Que fell backwards onto his soft king sized bed while a
smile lingered on the corners of his lips.
At this point, his disguise had worn off. The system thus started
deducting 1 act tough point for every hour in which Xu Que was still in
his disguise. He didn’t care too much about it as he closed his eyes and
started drifting into deep sleep.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom doom boom!"
After some time, Xu Que heard someone knocking on his door and woke
up.
Slowly opening his heavy eyelids, he waved a hand casually as the door
opened.
"Sun Wu Kong, come with me."
The second the door opened, an anxious sounding Yun’er could be

heard. However as she was speaking, the words seemed to get stuck
within her throat.
Yun’er stared wide eyed, mouth gaping into the luxurious room which Xu
Que was residing in. She was so stumped that she couldn’t speak.

Hearing the notification in his head, Xu Que immediately became alert.
I could even act tough just like that? Yun’er must’ve seen how suave I
am after waking up huh?
"Yun’er, what’s the matter? Where would you like to go? Is it time to eat
yet?" Xu Que asked out happily.
Yun’er didn’t reply as a look of disbelief swept across her face while s he
glanced at the luxurious furniture spread out across the room. She then
spoke out in envy, "Sun Wu Kong, this… Where did you get all these
from? They are so pretty…"
Xu Que’s expression froze. He then realized that he managed to earn

the act tough points because of the furniture instead of how handsome
he was!
But that didn’t matter. All the furniture added up only costed two or three
act tough points. And now he had earned 50 act tough points just like
that. He was making huge profits!
He smiled, causing his eyes to disappear, "You like it? Don’t worry. I’ll
be gone in a few days, I can give them all to you then."
"Wa, are you for real?" Yun’er was clearly elated as she beamed at him.
"Of course. I, Xu… No. I am the equal to heaven, the Great Sage.
Whatever I say counts. I can easily conjure furniture like these
effortlessly. Just a snap of my fingers and I can create several
thousands. You can have this entire set, it’s no big deal." Xu Que
replied benevolently.
"That’s wonderful. Thank you, Sun Wu Kong." Yun’er looked extremely

touched.
"Wait a second. Giving you all these furniture is not a problem at all. But
you have to promise me something!"
"What is it?"
"From now on, you have to refer to me as the Great Sage." Xu Que
spoke out confidently.
Yun’er paused before breaking out into a smile and nodding her head
profusely, "Fine, fine. Great Sage. The equal to Heaven…"

Xu Que revealed an extremely glad smile. He had earned points just like
that!
"Oh yes, I almost forgot. Hurry and come with me to the Pill Refining
Room. If not, Xiao Yu will throw another tantrum." At this point, Yun’er
seemed to have recalled something and hurriedly spoke out.
"Right, pill refining!"
Xu Que looked outside and realized it was the morning of the second
day. He hurriedly jumped off the bed.
One should never be late for his first ever experience of pill refining!
124 Damned Monkey, Stop Playing Around!
Chapter 124: Damned Monkey, Stop Playing Around!

After passing several houses and walking through several narrow alleys,
Xu Que arrived at the Pill Refining Room. He realized that there were
many people standing around the entrance of the room.
Apart from the Queen of Sky Demon Tribe Su Ling’er and the little red
fox Su Xiao Qi, there were several other demonic humans of the Original
Infant Stage.
Seeing that Xu Que had arrived, everyone started to frown.
"Damned monkey, why did you take so long? Look, Xiao Yu is throwing
a tantrum again!" The little red fox Su Xiao Qi opened her mout h to
berate him.
"Chiya!"
The second her words had landed, the large doors to the Pill Refining
Room burst open. Soon after, Xiao Yu’s tiny head poked out from the
door as she opened her beady eyes wide. The second she saw Xu Que,
she sped towards him in a flash.
Under the bewildered glances of everyone around, she charged straight

into Xu Que’s embrace and started acting cute.
"Monkey big brother! I wasn’t throwing a tantrum. I just wanted to hear

you play the Qin and sing again!"
"Refer to me as the Great Sage!" Xu Que patted her head affectionately
and started laughing out.
Xiao Yu hurriedly shouted out, "Big brother the Great Sage!"
"..."
Everyone around were stumped. What situation was this? Was Xiao Yu
under the influence of a spell?
Even Su Ling’er seemed to be somewhat suspicious.
Although they had seen the way Xiao Yu reacted to Xu Que’s singing
and him playing the Qin, it was already more than a night since. Surely,
she wasn’t still enchanted by him. Besides, Xiao Yu was truly throwing a
tantrum earlier on. The second Xu Que arrived, Xiao Yu seemed to
become someone else completely. She even appeared so close to him.
This was extremely strange.
"Sister, did this cursed monkey use a bewitching spell to enchant our
Xiao Yu?" Su Xiao Qi gave a suspicious look as she whispered into her
sister’s ears.
Su Ling’er thought about it for a second as she shook her head and
replied, "It seems unlikely. I was there yesterday myself. His singing and
music was indeed extremely amazing. Maybe he managed t o win her
heart over by playing such good music."
"Hm, this damned monkey… He knows how to do everything!" Su Xiao

Qi pursed her lips and cleared her through.
Xu Que seemed to feel something as he casted a glance towards Xiao

Qi and showed off a smug expression.
This caused Su Xiao Qi to be extremely incensed. She almost wanted to

charge towards Xu Que and punch him in his stupid mouth.
Xu Que’s lips curled as he looked away and directed his attention

towards Xiao Yu.
The reason Xiao Yu was so well mannered and behaved towards Xu

Que was truly because of the music played the day before. The effects
of his music playing had stirred up the emotions within her heart and
caused her to recall her younger days.
Hence, Xiao Yu felt a certain sense of familiarity and closeness towards

Xu Que as though he was her own family member. That was why she
was so well behaved in front of him.
Xu Que did truly like this kid, Xiao Yu as well. He treated her like his
own sister, seeing that she was so well mannered and a dorable.
"Let’s go, Xiao Yu. Let’s go and refine some pills. When we’re done, I
shall play the Qin for you once more."
"Alright, big brother Great Sage!" Xiao Yu replied gladly as she clutched
onto Xu Que’s sleeves as they walked into the Pill Refining Room
together.
Everyone around were extremely shocked and couldn't comprehend

what was happening. They were thrown into confusion.
Someone looked towards Su Ling’er and forced a bitter laugh, "My

Queen, what… What’s going on?"
Su Ling’er shook her head and didn’t reply.
Xu Que followed Xiao Yu into the chambers as he glanced around the

entire room. It was a spacious room, with many wooden shelves backed
against the walls. In the middle of the room was a bronze pill furnace.
The furnace was about a meter tall with many strange inscriptions
written all around the furnace. It gave off an extremely mysterious
feeling and had clearly seen many years of pill refining.
Xu Que was extremely eager to get started as he looked at Xiao Yu and
asked, "Xiao Yu, would you like to be my apprentice? I wish to try out
my new pill refining techniques."
"Big brother the Great Sage knows how to refine pills?" Xiao Yu asked
out in surprise.
Everyone outside revealed expressions of shock as well.
Su Xiao Qi nervously ran into the room and shouted, "Damned monkey!
Please stop fooling around. Pill refining is not something to joke about!"
"I know! I’m not fooling around which is why I wanted to do it myself.
This would allow Xiao Yu to watch and learn from me." Xu Que replied
boastfully.
"That’s great. I will let big brother the Great Sage refine the pills!" Xiao
Yu nodded her head excitedly, without a hint of suspicion.
When the group of beasts outside heard this, they were all stunned.
Indeed, pill refining was not a joking matter. Should the person refining
lose control, he might cause an entire batch of pills to go to waste. Or
even worse, he might cause the furnace to explode. Especially when it
came to refining pills of the Two Star grade, there was little margin for
error. Should the furnace explode, the entire Sky Demon Tribe would
suffer its consequences.
Hence, whenever Xiao Yu was refining the pills, all these Original Infant
Staged demonic beasts would standby outside. In case something
happened with the pill refining process, they would be able to lend their
strengths and support to prevent a tragedy from happening.
And now, they could hear Xiao Yu allowing Xu Que to refine the pills. It
was natural that everyone should be worried and fearful.
Su Ling’er stared at Xu Que and asked out, "Sun Wu Kong, stop fooling
around now."
"Hm? When was I ever fooling around? I really can refine pills!" Xu Que
replied.
Su Ling’er rolled her eyes, "Your damned head, stupid monkey. You
already said yourself that you spent time practicing the Qin, and refining
your fighting powers to such a stage. How could you possibly have time
to learn the arts of pill refining? Much less have the caliber to refine a
Two Star grade pill!"
"Sigh…" Xu Que’s words seemed to have gotten stuck wi thin his throat.
It was true that he had never refined a single pill in his life. Now was
supposed to be the time which he would practice!
Hence, he rebutted, "Why don’t you guess?"
"..." Su Xiao Qi’s lips curled into a snarl. She wanted to charge toward s
Xu Que and pummel him.
Su Ling’er stepped forward and shook her head, "I don’t care if you can
or cannot refine pills. You should assist Xiao Yu and let her be the main
person refining the pills now. Refine the Vitality Pill and Circulation Pill
first before we speak further. If you disagree, maybe we can settle
yesterday’s score if you’d like!"
"..." Xu Que had no choice. He then replied reluctantly while shrugging,

"It’s your loss if you don't believe me. I shall show you later."
Seeing that Xu Que had taken a step back, Su Ling’er finally heaved a
sigh of relief. She then turned to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, you can begin now.
You don’t have to worry about being successful on the first try. All you
have to do is to try your best."
"Alright sister Ling’er. Xiao Yu shall try her best. If I fail, please let big
brother Great Sage try!" Xiao Yu seemed to truly believe in Xu Que’s
ability and relaxed as she spoke his name out.
She then walked towards the furnace as she waved her small palm over
it and a fire started to rumble, causing the furnace to heat up.
There were more than ten different ingredients beside the furnace all
prepared to be refined. Xiao Yu gingerly picked up the first ingredient
and was about to empty its contents into the furnace.
Xu Que watched in shock before he opened his mouth to halt her, "Wait
a second Xiao Yu. What are you doing? You have to remove the
impurities from the ingredients first. If not, the quality of the pill would be
severely reduced.
"Ah?" Xiao Yu paused in confusion.
Everyone outside paused in shock as well as they started to frown.
"Damned monkey. Can you stop playing around and start helping Xiao
Yu increase her control over the process?!" Su Xiao Qi gritted her teeth
as she shouted out.
Su Ling’er looked towards Xu Que as well and spoke out gravely, "Sun
Wu Kong, this is an important matter for me and there’s no time to lose.
Tomorrow, I have to activate the Thunder Tribulations Worship. Can you
please accommodate to Xiao Yu?"
What the hell? I’m fooling around?
Xu Que was at a loss for words. Don’t tell me that your pill refining
process is done so haphazardly? You just empty the ingredients into the
furnace and hope for the best?
"I remember now. Big brother Great Sage is right. Such a step did truly
exist within the ancient alchemist manual."
At this point, Xiao Yu who had been extremely careful beamed in

eagerness as she seemed to have recalled a vital step and spoke out
excitedly.
125 I Am Definitely Not That Type Of Person
Chapter 125: I Am Definitely Not That Type Of Person

Was there really such a method?
Everyone around were all stumped as they looked towards Xu Que.
Xu Que let out a contented smile as he patted Xiao Yu’s tiny skull
affectionately and sighed out, "What a good and knowledgeable child!"
However, the next sentence spoken by Xiao Yu caused his smile to wear
off.
"But that method had been lost a long time ago and is now a lost art.
Many Nine Star Alchemists had tried to regain this method, but wasted
many ingredients in their failed pursuit and failed to accomplish
anything." Xiao Yu spoke out gravely.
Xu Que immediately withdrew his hand from her head and stopped
patting her. Hm, what a stupid child. She knows nothing at all!
What lost art are you speaking of? This big brother here has the system.
With the system, he owns the entire world. Do you know that? Just a
mere pill refining art, how can it ever pose a challenge to me?
Xu Que paused and wanted to speak these words.
However, Su Ling’er was watching every single move he made and shot
him a warning glance, as if warning him not to say anything stupid.
Xu Que looked extremely displeased as he spoke out, "Can all of you

stop being so stupid? I really am learned at the arts of pill refining.On
what grounds do you have to disallow me from trying?"
"Because this will endanger our entire tribe. If you’re unable to exert
absolute control over the pill refining situation, you might ruin the
furnace and cause it to explode. Tell me, what if that happens?" Su Xiao
Qi waved a fist as she replied.
"What bullshit. The second I refine a pill, it’s a 100% success rate. What
nonsense are you spouting about failure to control the process?" Xu
Que replied wide eyed.
The second these words were spoken, everyone knew that Xu Que was
just boasting and talking big.
One of the Original Infant Staged elder of the tribe couldn’t hold it in any
longer and frowned as he spoke, "My little friend, I don’t mean to offend
you, but saying such things like having 100% success rate is ridiculous.
Not even Nine Star Alchemist can say such things. You’re just a mere
Golden Core Stager, from where do you have the guts to utter such
nonsense?"
"So what if I’m only at the Golden Core Stage? Does that mean I’m not a
person? Why don’t you come and refine the pills yourself?" Xu Que
replied indignantly.
It became clear that Su Ling’er had told this elder of Xu Que’s battle
prowess, for he immediately backed down after seeing Xu Que turning
angry. He then turned his head away and pretended like he didn’t hear
or say anything.
Su Ling'er frowned as she spoke out, "Sun Wu Kong, do you really wish
to refine the pills yourself?"
"I do! And it’s true that I will definitely succeed. I never ever tell lies!" Xu
Que nodded his head.
"Then what if you fail?"

"If I fail, I shall eat dung until I choke and die!" Xu Que spoke out
without a second thought. He knew that it was impos sible that he should
fail.
"..."
Everyone around started blushing. He would choke on dung until he

dies? What a bold bet!
Su Xiao Qi couldn’t help but to open her eyes wide as well as she
shouted out, "Cursed monkey! Are you trying to find an excuse to eat
shit since you enjoy it so much?!"
Xiao Yu looked up curiously at Xu Que and didn’t speak. Among the

entire group of people, she was the only one who truly believed in Xu
Que’s capabilities.
Su Ling’er seemed to consider for a long time before she finally nodded
her head in approval, "Since that’s the case, I shall allow you to try. But
you only have one try."
"My Queen, please no! This must not do!"
"That’s right. If he fails to exert control..."
The few Original Infant Stage tribe elders were imm ediately roused as
they tried to reject the idea.
However, Su Ling’er waved a hand and interrupted them before looking

towards Xu Que, "The second the furnace shows any signs of instability,
I will ask you to stop and you must listen to me and cease immed iately.
Do you understand?"
"No problem. I made a name for myself by being an extremely stable

alchemist and am extremely renowned. If you don’t believe me, you can
make some inquiries. Everyone within the pill refining profession knows
me!" Xu Que slapped his chest as he started boasting once again.
Su Ling’er was used to ignoring such words from him and replied plainly,
"Then you can begin."
"Hold on. If I fail, I will eat dung until I die. But what if I succeed?" Xu
Que asked out.
Everyone rolled their eyes in irritation.
If you can concoct a batch of pills without destroying the furnace, that
would already be an achievement. Why are you even thinking about
succeeding? There’s no ‘if’ because such a result is impossible!
"Damned monkey! If you wish to try so badly, then please begin. Stop
talking so much rubbish. If you really succeed, you can do anything you
like." Su Xiao Qi spoke out irritably.
Xu QUe was elated. He could do anything he wanted to? Was she for
real? He looked towards Su Ling’er expectantly.
Su Ling’er paused and shook her head, "Please begin. If you really
succeed, I shall agree to one request. As long as it’s not an evil act or
anything that would harm my people."
"Ah! Sister, that won’t do." Su Xiao Qi seemed to have thought of

something as she shouted out in fear. "What if he requests to marry
you? What would you do then?"
The second she spoke these words out, everyone paused in shock.
Even Su Ling’er was stumped. Her face turned red, not knowing what to
do.
Xu Que immediately stood up and spoke out, "Please don’t worry. I’m
not such a lowdown person. I would never request for your sister to
devote her heart to me and make her marry me."
What a joke. I am Xu Que, the smartest man in the world. How could I
ever make such a stupid request? My request would be for both of you
sisters to devote your lives to me and marry me!
"Hm, please drop the pretense. I know that you are a low down person.
But that doesn’t matter, for I know you will fail!" Su Xiao Qi looked at
him fiercely as she stormed off into the room.
To everyone around, it was impossible that Xu Que would ever succeed.

Everyone were certain that he doesn't know how to refine a batch of
pills. Su Ling’er had only permitted him one try, which he was doomed to
fail.
Feeling this way, Xu Que picked up the first batch of ingredients. He

didn’t even have the chance to warm up. Should he even come close to
succeeding, but ultimately fail, it would still be regarded as a failure.
Su Ling’er understood this as well, and thus agreed to let Xu Que try.
She allowed this to satisfy his curiosity and prove to him that he would
fail. After he failed, he would have no choice but to accommodate to
Xiao Yu and be her assistant. Then everything would run smoothly from
there.
Hence, Su Ling’er didn’t mind promising him a single request.
Xiao Yu was extremely understanding. She picked up the ingredients

and started handing them over to Xu Que like a good apprentice and
assistant. She then asked out, "Big brother Great Sage, would you like
me to control the overall process?"
"There’s no need for that. Just stand aside and watch. Let big brother
Great Sage teach you the true arts of pill refining!" Xu Que laughed out
and spoke.
"Sure." Xiao Yu nodded her head gently, her eyes were full of
admiration.
Under the suspicious and watchful eyes of the audience, Xu Que took
some ingredients and walked over to the furnace.
He gently shut his eyes and took a deep breath. When he next opened
his eyes, a serious look swept across his face.
When everyone around saw that he stopped being childish, they started
to feel a lot more calm and reassured.
At the next moment, Xu Que turned to look at Xiao Yu and spoke, "Oh
right. Xiao Yu, is this recipe for the Vitality Pill or the Circulation Pill?
Would you kindly pass me both the recipes?"
"..." In that second, everyone fell into silence.
Some of them opened their eyes wide and had to restrain themselves
from vomiting blood.
Brother, are you mentally sound? How come you can’t differentiate the
ingredients for the Vitality Pills from the Circulation Pills.
Eh, that’s not right. You’ve never ever refined any of these pills before,
right? How can you be so assured of your abilities and even boast of
having 100% success rate?
"This damned monkey really wanted to eat shit." Su Xiao Qi spoke out
confidently.
Even Xiao Yu was astonished. She then looked at Xu Que in surprise,

"Big brother Great Sage. You’ve… You’ve never refined a Vitality Pill or
Circulation Pill before?"
"You’re right. All the pills I’ve created in the past were Immortal Pills. As
for this type of pills, it’s my first time. Let me take a look at the recipe."
Xu Que spoke out without a hint of embarrassment.
"Oh..." Xiao Yu took some time before she could snap out of her initial
shock. She didn’t hesitate and whipped out the recipes from within her
robes. The recipes were torn and tattered.
What was written within were not just the recipes of two different pills.
They were the recipes of all the pills handed down from the Jade Hares!
Xu Que’s eyes lit up as he called out the system, "System, quick. Copy
all these recipes down."
126 Last Step! Improving The Taste!
Chapter 126: Last Step! Improving The Taste!

"Ding! 1 act tough point spent. Copying has been completed!"
Within a second, the system had copied down all the details from the
piece of paper.
Thousands of dense words appeared before Xu Que, each of them

flooded his mind, causing him to feel overwhelmed from all the knew
knowledge. Before long, all the recipes was ingrained within his head.
"Big brother Great Sage, don’t you want to look at it?" at this point, Xiao
Yu noticed that Xu Que had placed the recipe aside and asked
curiously.
Xu Que then regained his senses and laughed before picking the recipe
up.
"Whoosh!"
After picking the recipe up, he flipped it over and returned it to Xiao Yu.
He then spoke out confidently, "Your big brother has seen it. I know
what to do now!"
Xiao Yu was stumped once again.
How could he read it all so quickly? Even for her, she needed more time
just to locate the portion on the Vitality Pills. How could he have read it
all in such a short time?’
And yet big brother Great Sage finished reading so quickly. How
impressive!
Xiao Yu couldn’t help but to feel her admiration for Xu Que increase.


Xu Que’s mind rang out in notifications!
Everyone outside had a headache just by watching and hearing him.

They had expressions of helplessness.
"Ai, this monkey is really here to fool around."
"He doesn’t even care to look at the recipe properly. He just flipped it
over and returned it. Does he think he has pho tographic memory?"
"He didn’t even read the contents, right?"
"Forget it. Just be more alert. When he begins, we all have to

concentrate." The few elders shook their heads and sighed out.
Su Ling’er fell into deep silence as she stood by the door and watched
Xu Que intently.
At this time, Xu Que regained his serious demeanor once again.
He stood before the furnace and exhaled deeply before picking up the
ingredients once more.
"Sou!"
At the same time, the first ingredient levitated into the air as Xu Que
used a sliver of core strength and gathered the rest of the ingredients,
making them float above the furnace. Soon after, he started extracting
the essence from each ingredient and separating them from one
another.
"Eh? What’s he doing?" Everyone out side were roused as they asked
suspiciously.
Su Ling’er paused in shock as well. Her brows were knitted tightly as

she watched on warily.
Although she didn’t know how to refine pills, she had seen Xiao Yu do it
many times and had never seen anything like this.
Only Xiao Yu’s eyes were wide as she watched on in amazement and
reverence.
"Whoosh!" Xu Que flipped his left hand, exposing his palm and revealing
a green flame, hovering on it.
The heat from the green flame burned the entire furnace, causing it to
heat up evenly.
This mystical flame produced from his core was the Molten Green Lotus!
"What a strong mystical fire!"
"Such a temperature is indeed scary!" Everyone were shocked as the

stood by the door and could feel the heat emanating out towards them.
Xu Que stretched out the other hand and took the essence of a
suspended ingredient and looked at Xiao Yu. "Xiao Yu, watch carefully.
The first step is to separate the essence from the ingredients into pearls
just like these one by one. This is done to remove the impurities. This
step is the most difficult and you have to continually focus on
maintaining your soul strength and exert perfect control."
As he finished, he tossed the ingredient right into the heart of the Green
Lotus Flame.
"What?"
"What… What is he doing?"
"The temperature is so hot that even the flames are bursting forth from
his hand. Throwing the essence of the ingredient in would turn it to dust,
won’t it?"
Everyone started voicing their disapproval once more, their faces had
looks of shock.
In that next second however, they were all stupefied.
The pearls and beads of essences were surrounded by the green

flames, but took no damage at all.
Xu Que exerted perfect control over the temperature as he heated up

the ingredient. This process required extremely high precision. Once the
temperature got too high, he would turn all the essences into ash and
that could happen in a split second.
However, after absorbing the ability book and having the system assist
him with the control, this process was only too easy.
"Chi!"
Heating up the ingredient produced steam as the pearls disintegrated. It

looked exactly like blocks of ice melting together. Black steam started to
waft out from flames. All these were the impurities that were not ne eded
for the pills!
Extracting the core and removing the impurities!
Before long, the beads and pearls were completely disintegrated and
turned into greenish fluids. They were rolling and swirling above the
green flames as they started to glow and emit l ight.
Xu Que waved a hand as he swirled the greenish fluids around, before

using his core strength to compress the liquid once again, all these
while suspended over the flames.
Soon after, he picked up the second ingredient and tossed it into the
flames.
He did this again with the remaining ingredients and managed to refine
it after a short period of time.
He had used six different types of ingredients and six different colored
fluids were combined into a single compound. It rested just beside Xu
Que and looked splendid.
Everyone were shocked. They had never seen pill refining done at such
a level. They knew that this was way pill refining was supposed to be
done!
Xiao Yu’s eyes glimmered in admiration as she was roused out, clearly
excited.
She knew that such a method of pill refining had been recorded in the
ancient days and were done this way. But nobody in this realm was
capable of such refining methods. Watching Xu Que work his way
around caused her to feel awestruck, as her respect for Xu Que
increased.
"Xiao Yu, the next step is to place the congealed essences of these pills
into the furnace and allow them to mix together. Actually, this is the
same as your first step. The only difference is the complicated step
which I took and you didn’t."
Xu Que finished speaking as he waved his hands, causing the

congealed six ingredients to pour into the furnace, which was levitated
by him as well.
"Boom!"
The furnace then landed heavily down on the ground. The furnace had
already been heated up and was e xtremely hot at this point. The second
the mixture touched the surface of the furnace, it started boiling and
rumbling.
However, Xu Que’s soul strength was extremely strong. All he had to do

was to look at the ingredients as they started congealing togeth er and
mixing up in the heat.
At the same time, the inscriptions on the furnace started producing light.
The light emitted from the furnace was extremely bright as it entered the
furnace and started working with the ingredients within.
The entire process was just like watching a blacksmith forging weapons
with all the light and heat.
Before long, the six ingredients had fused together evenly and perfectly
under the precise heat. It had solidified into a large bubble as big as a
fist. It was white in colour and looked extremely pure.
"The third step is to divide the pills!"
Xu Que spoke out in a low voice as he extinguished the green flames

and took a step forward. He then slapped the furnace with his palm.
"Wng!" A loud vibration could be heard as it r ang out from the furnace.
The inscriptions on the furnace started glowing brighter and brighter as

it transformed into a wave of powerful energy and swirled into the
furnace once again.
A loud smack could be heard as the white bubble burst open and ten
equally sized rays of white light split from the bubble and ascended to
the surface of the furnace.
"Fourth step, forming the pills!"
Xu Que spoke out softly as he conjured a thread of core energy and

directed it back into furnace, dramatically increase t he temperature.
The entire furnace heated up once again!
The ten rays of light within the furnace started vibrating as it took on
solid form. At the same time, a decadent smell of herbs could be smelt
as it diffused across the entire room.
"The fifth step, open the furnace and acquire the pills!"
Xu Que lifted the lid of the furnace as he clenched his fists, causing 10
white pills to fly into the air.
Each one of the pills were perfectly round and all produced a certain
aroma. Each of them were so white if reflected light as it hovered in the
air.
Everyone watching were extremely shocked and their faces revealed

astonished looks.
Ten Vitality Pills!
There were ten proper Vitality Pills!
"How… How did he do it?"
"He only used one batch of ingredients and could make ten Vitality Pills.
There were no wasted ingredients and failed pills!"
"And the color of each pill are exactly the same as each other and looks
perfectly pure and flawless."
"Such pill purity has never been seen throughout the entire ag es!"
All the Original Infant Stagers were sighing in disbelief.

Su Ling’er and Su Xiao Qi remained rooted to the ground in shock. Their
hearts were trembling, unable to believe whatever they were witnessing.
How could such a man… exist in this world?
He was so strong physically and could play the Qin to perfection. Now
he has shown that he can even refine pills. Is there anything he doesn’t
know?
"The last step, improving the taste!" Xu Que looked serious again as he
shouted out.
Xiao Yu was extremely surprised. She then replied, "Big brother Great
Sage, haven’t you already succeeded? Why is there a last step?"
Everyone else were stumped once again. Yeah, wasn’t he already

successful? What was the last step for?
"Not yet. The last step is the most important and a personal creation."
Xu Que shook his head severely as he conjured a box from the system.
When he opened the box, it contained some black sticky looking

substance.
At the same time, he flicked his wrists and conjured his core energy and
retrieved the ten pills and dunked them into the black and sticky liquid.
When he removed the pills from the liquid, they now took on a black -
brown looking colour. The sticky liquid was starting to solidify around the
pill.
Xiao Yu was extremely lost, "Big brother Great Sage, what… What’s
this?"
"Oh, this is chocolate flavored Vitality Pills. It’s extremely amazing,

come have a taste!"
127 Come And Take A Lick!
Chapter 127: Come And Take A Lick!

"Chocolate Flavored Vitality Pills?"
After taking the black looking pills over, Xiao Yu was extremely
confused.
Vitality Pills were all white. The whiter it is, the stronger the effects and
the higher the purity level. Hence, the best Vitality Pills were all
extremely white. This was the first time seeing such a black looking pill.
Besides, everyone knew that pills which were completely black meant
that the pill was a failure and a waste for it would not have any effects.
Hence, seeing that the pills which Xu Que handed over were black, Xiao
Yu started getting suspicious. Especially after hearing what Xu Que said
about Chocolate Flavored Vitality Pills. This caused her to be even more
confused.
What was chocolate? How can that be done to Vitality Pills? Were the
effects of the Vitality Pills still intact? Also, why was there such a
delicious smell wafting from the pills?
With a wary look, Xiao Yu was helplessly attracted to the smell of the
pills. She then picked one up and placed it into her mouth and was
about to bite down on the pill. At that exact moment, Xu Que shouted
out, "Wait a second. Xiao Yu, you are only of the Core Bearing Stage.
You cannot eat such a pill! Spit it out now."
Xiao Yu then reacted and realized that she wasn’t supposed to consume
such a pill.
The Vitality Pill was an extremely strong pill even to Original Infant
Stage cultivators. If someone who was of a low cultivation level
consumed the pill, it would explode within the person and cause death.
Indeed, when Xiao Yu took the pill out from her mouth, her tongue was
coated with a thick layer of chocolate. She then paused in surprise.
"Ai, it’s a little sweet and extraordinary. It actual ly melted in my mouth

and is delicious..." Xiao Yu couldn’t help but started tasting the liquid on
her tongue.
That black, sticky liquid caused her eyes to light up.
"Big brother Great Sage, what is this? It’s so delicious!"
Xiao Yu hurriedly picked up another pill and placed it inside her mouth
as she swirled the pill around and tasted the chocolate.
"No, Xiao Yu. You mustn't eat the Vitality Pill."
"Spit it out."
At this point, the people at the door realized what was happening and
hurriedly rushed into the room and shouted loudly.
Su Xiao Qi ran the fastest and placed a finger into Xiao Yu’s mouth and
took out the pill.
The layer of chocolate had been completely licked off by Xiao Yu,
leaving behind the clear white pill.
"This white Vitality Pill has the best color and is far better than anything
I’ve ever refined! Big brother the Great Sage refined a pill that is better
than my best pill by over a hundred times!"
Xiao Yu was strangely excited. When she first saw the Chocolate
Flavored Vitality Pill, she wasn’t very sure of what it was. Now that she
could once again see the pure whiteness of the pill, she knew that this
was the best pill possibly refined.
She then handed the pill over to Su Xiao Qi, the little red fox. However,
she wanted to continue licking the outer layers of the rest of the pills.
That sweet milky taste and flavour was too irresistible. She then turned
around to face Xu Que and stretched out her tiny hands, and pleaded
with those beady eyes. "Big brother Great Sage, I wish to eat some
more of that. I won’t eat the Vitality Pills, I only wish to eat the sweet
outer layer."
"Sigh..." Xu Que didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. He wanted to

improve the taste of the pills, but had unexpectedly gotten Xiao Yu
hooked onto it.
However, he understood that to a young child such as herself,

chocolates were extremely desirable. Besides, she had never eaten
anything like that before.
Thinking up to this, Xu Que then took out several chocolate layered pills
and handed it over to her.
Everyone around finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Xiao Yu spit
out the pill. At the next moment, they saw Xu Que handing over several
more Vitality Pills, and almost caused many of them to faint.
Su Xiao Qi hurriedly took away the pills in Xiao Yu’s hands and scolded
Xu Que harshly, "Sun Wu Kong, what are you trying to do? Are you
trying to kill Xiao Yu?"
"Xiao Qi sister, it’s alright. I just want to eat the sweet outer layer, and
won’t actually eat the Vitality Pills." Xiao Yu hastily snatched back the
remaining nine pills into her small hands and held it behind her back. It
was just exactly like an adult not allowing a child to have candy, but the
child insisted on having it all.
Xu Que watched Xiao Yu and realized he was helpless against how

adorable she was. He forced a laugh and took her side, "The outer layer
is just chocolate and is the same as candy. Eating it will not be harmful
to her."
"What if she accidentally swallows the Vitality Pills?" Su Xiao Qi glared

at Xu Que and asked.
Xiao Yu’s face turned downcast as she turned towards Su Xiao Qi

angrily, "Sister Xiao Qi, I am not stupid. Xiao Yu knows how to
differentiate between tasting and swallowing it. You are just humiliating
me."
"Xiao Yu, I didn’t mean that. Please don’t be angry ! I’m just worried that
stupid monkey will harm you!"
"Big brother Great Sage will not harm me. It’s just that the chocolate is
really tasty. Try it if you don't believe." Xiao Yu took out a single pill and
gave it to Su Xiao Qi.’
"It’s black and disgusting. How can it be nice?" Su Xiao Qi frowned as

she looked at the pill suspiciously. She then imitated Xiao Yu and stuck
her tongue out and licked the pill.
Several seconds later, her eyes opened wide in amazement.
That was delicious!
How could there be such a special taste? It’s sweet and smooth. How
did the damned monkey do that?
Su Xiao Qi couldn’t help but take several more licks, as though she
couldn’t help stop herself.
Now that nobody else would stop Xiao Yu, she then took out another pill
and started licking it as well.
Everyone else watched on and saw that she wasn’t going to swallow the
pill but only wanted to lick the exterior layer, and thus didn’t disapprove.
They too were curious as to how delicious that black coating could be.
However, they couldn’t bear to let their prides down and snatch candies
from a kid.
However, seeing Xiao Qi lick the chocolate that way, along with the
delicious smell wafting in the air, they started salivating too.
"Come, come, come. What is everyone standing th ere for? Don’t be shy,
come and take a few licks! The exterior coating is called chocolate and
is quite high in calories… What? You don’t know what calories are?
Nevermind, just know that calories are delicious. The more the calories,
the more delicious the food is. I shan’t say anymore. Come, don’t be
shy. Take a nice lick. As long as you don’t bite down onto the pill, it’s
fine."
Xu Que watched on as people started surrounding him while they licked

onto the pills. He then smiled and distributed more pills.
Everyone around didn’t refuse him any longer as they all started to
imitate Xiao Yu and started licking the pill as they coated their tongues
with the delicious black coating.
Just a single lick was enough to captivate them. Each of their eyes were
opened wide in amazement. Clearly, the entire tribe had never tried
chocolate before. Having such a decadent and aromatic substance in
their mouths was eye opening for them. In just three licks, the entire pill
was back to white in color again. They looked a t Xu Que in sadness,
seeing that the chocolate layer was finished.
They were all completely won over by Xu Que’s amazing pill refining
techniques along with that wonderful tasting chocolate. They couldn’t
help but start to wonder to themselves, what was the best way to get
this person to join their Sky Demon Tribe. Who knows? They might be
able to eat chocolate everyday if he joins.
Hence, in a short span of time, Xu Que had turned from a suspicious

character to a loved and popular person.

Seeing that everyone was thoroughly enjoying the chocolate, Xu Que

revealed a smile as he thought to himself, "Just mere chocolate is
enough to win you over? Wait till you try my famous grilled chicken
wings and smelly tofu! Of course, the day I cook my signature spicy
snack, it would be so delicious you would wish you were dead. Ai, just
thinking about it is enough to make me salivate..."
128 Automatic Refining Function
Chapter 128: Automatic Refining Function

Su Ling’er had just tasted the chocolate and was astounded beyond
words.
Such an amazing taste was enough to cause anyone to be addicted to it.
Still, she was slightly suspicious. Every single time she licked the
chocolate, she noticed a strange smile spread across that monkey’s
face, making her feel strange all over.
Su Ling’er looked at him suspiciously, before falling deep into her own
thoughts.
Of course, she had been thinking of the best ways to convince someone
like Xu Que to stay here in Sky Demon Tribe.
In actual fact, after watching Xu Que demonstrate such amazing powers

outside the tribe domains, she had already been thinking of ways to
invite him to join the Sky Demon Tribe.
Today, Xu Que managed to surprise her once again with his alchemy
skills, causing her to be more sure that she has to do everything in her
power to make such a capable freak join her tribe.
At this time, Xu Que was still smiling as he walked up to her.
"What is it?" Su Ling’er paused in shock as she asked.
"You promised me a request, do not forget. You should lick more of that
thing. It would be good for your body…" Xu Que dragged his words as a
sly grin appeared on his face.
Su Ling’er was astonished and clearly misunderstood his expression.

She then recalled what Su Xiao Qi had told her earlier, and her face
blushed as she cleared her throat and looked down, clearly too
embarrassed to look at Xu Que.
When she looked up, Xu Que had already turned around and wa lked
over to the shelves along the walls. He started picking several herbs
and ingredients from the shelf.
After examining the contents of the herbs, Xu Que started to prepare the
necessary items to refine the Lightning Evasion Pill.
There were many required ingredients needed to make the Lightning

Evasion Pill. However, he noticed that most of them were already
available on the shelf. Hence, he didn’t bother to access the system
store to purchase at first. He decided to search for as much as he can
get on the shelves before purchasing the items which weren’t available
to him here.
Su Ling’er watched as he took down so many ingredients. She then

asked, "What pill are you going to refine now?"
Xu Que laughed and replied, "You will know when I’m done. It will be
useful for your Thunder Worship Tribulation as well."
"Useful for my Thunder Worship Tribulations?" Su Ling’er started to get

suspicious once again. Apart from the Vitality Pill and Circulation Pill,
she couldn’t think of any other pill which would help her.
Xu Que didn’t intend to explain as well, smirking before walking over to

the furnace. He waved a hand and started doing everything he did
earlier once more.
This time, the audience weren’t as tense or worried anymore. They

looked towards him with eyes of admiration and reverence. At the same
time, each of them were licking their lips, hoping that Xu Que would coat
the new batch of pills with his delicious chocolate again.
A proficient Alchemist would always be deeply respected and treated

with reverence everywhere he went. Even more so when he can conjure
something as delicious as chocolate. It was so delicious that they would
have given up their souls just to have more of that.



The reward is 50 act tough points !"
After the system rang out several times and came to a halt, Xu Que
thought to himself. Adding all the points he had earned after creating the
Vitality Pills, he had earned more than 500 act tough points. He was
being extremely profitable.
He turned his attention towards the pill refining process and started
congealing all the essences of the ingredients.
In order to refine this Lightning Evasion Pill, many more ingredients had
to be used. After adding the first few ingredients essence into the mix,
he realized that he didn’t have enough strength to continue adding more
essences and maintaining the same level of stability.
He turned his eyes away from the furnace and called out the system,
"System, do you have an automatic pill refining ability?"
"Ding! Since the host has mastered the recipes of the required pills, he
can activate the automatic pill function. Every hour would cost 1 act
tough points!"
"Fuck, there really was an automatic function? Why didn’t you say so
earlier? I’ve spent so much time doing all these hard work. Fine. I shall
activate it. Such a small amount of act tough points, I can afford it." Xu
Que replied happily.
With the automatic function being activated, this was now more like a
game to him. Even without anyone to manage the concoction, the
system will ensure that everything is in order.
"Ding! Automatic refining function has been activated. The host’s soul
strength has been temporarily reduced by half, directed towards the
refining process. At the same time, the host must no t wander further
than 100m away from the furnace. If not, the automatic function will
cease to operate."
"It’s fine. I shall sit down and take a rest. At the same time… Right, I
shall roast some chicken wings!"
Xu Que smiled as he exited the system interface.
At the moment, he could feel his soul strength weaken considerably as

his strength was directed towards the furnace to operate the automatic
function.
Concurrently, the Molten Green Lotus floated into the air as it heated up
the rest of the congealed ingredients. The system was managing the
heat as it started melting the ingredients and combining them together.
After some time, Xu Que was confident of the system and stopped
observing the process. He then used his thoughts to take out items from
within his inventory.
Grilling forks, sauce, chicken wings…
Meanwhile, the group of Original Infant Stage elders observing him were
stumped by Xu Que’s actions.
They watched as the green flame which was originally on Xu Que’s palm
float into the distance. They thought that this was another method of pill
refining and started paying attention to it, afraid of missing out on
something amazing.
However, when they saw Xu Que taking out strange and odd items, they
were astonished.
"Looks like my friend Sun is using another complicated refining method."

One of the tribe elders sighed as he spoke out.
"That’s right. He’s using so many ingredients and even took out strange
looking equipments. It must be that this method is extraordinary."
"Eh? If i’m not mistaken. That… That looks like chicken wings?"
"Chicken wings? Can that be used to refine pills?"
"That’s strange. I wonder what strange pill he’s going to refine this time,
which would actually require chicken wing as an ingredient!"
"Looks like... This pill might be of the Three Star grade! My friend Sun is
definitely using the chicken wings as an ingredient!"
An elder was eagerly anticipating the product as he spoke out, trembling

in excitement.
Even Su Ling’er was watching on in curiosity, extremely sure that this

pill would have supernatural powers. It would be even stronger than the
Vitality Pills. If not, it wouldn’t be so complicated!
Everyone were holding their breaths as they stared at Xu Que hard at
work.
Each one of them was extremely curious and wanted to know how a
chicken wing would fit into a pill concoction process.
Indeed, Xu Que didn’t pay the onlookers any mind as he impaled the
chicken wings with grilling forks. He then took out some peanut oil and
applied a layer around before walking over to the furnace and squatted
down.
He then used the heat being emitted from the bottom of the furnace to
grill the chicken wings while he started singing a song!
"Grilling chicken wings to fulfil my food cravings. Once I hear your old
mother approaching, I hide my food from her..."
"..." The entire group of people were appalled!
"He… He’s grilling chicken wings?"
An elder was astounded as he asked the person next to him, as though

he was unable to believe whatever he was witnessing.
Everyone was speechless. They could feel their vision slowly getting
dimmer as though they were about to pass out soon.
Ever since the ancient days, which Alchemist would be so distracted and
not pay attention to his batch of pills? If an Alchemist would lose just a
little concentration, disaster might happen. And now…
You were refining pills halfway and decided to grill some chicken wings
in the midst of it?
And you can even sing songs?
129 Stir Up Romantic Feelings!

Chapter 129: Stir Up Romantic Feelings!



A pair of system beeps could be heard as Xu Que looked down and

realized that his chicken wings had already been grilled nicely. The skin
of the chicken was in golden brown color. He then proceeded to spread
a layer of honey over it before scattering some chilli flakes and pepper.
The aroma of the chicken wings had wafted throughout the entire room.
Everyone around were stumped speechless as they re mained rooted to

the ground in utter disbelief.
Chicken wings… Could really be cooked till it smelt so delicious?
Wait a minute, that’s not right big brother! You haven’t even finished
refining your batch of pills! Why have you abandoned the furnace?
There are many precious pills waiting for your attention!
"Damned monkey, what on earth are you grilling? Let me try it. I wish to
see if there’s any poison inside!"
"Big brother Great Sage, I wish to try it too!"
All of a sudden, a pair of shadows ran over. It was Su Xiao Qi and Xiao
Yu. The pair of wild children. With shocking speeds, they snatched the
chicken wings away from him.
"Fuck! Thankfully I grilled enough wings. Ai, the rest of you should come
and eat too!" This is the specialty of my Heavenly Explosion Sect. The
only sect in the world capable of producing such good food!" Xu Que
laughed out and called Su Ling’er and the rest of them over.
"Wa! It’s delicious!"
"Big brother Great Sage is so amazing. You can play the Qin, and can
refine pills so well. Now you can even cook delicious food!" Xiao Yu and
Su Xiao Qi took a huge bite out of the chicken wings and revealed looks
of bliss on their faces.
...
The few elders gave helpless looks. They were extremely worried about
the furnace since nobody was paying it any attention. What if it
exploded?
However, after living for so many years, this was the first time smelling
something so delicious. They watched on as Xiao Yu and Su Xiao Qi
devoured the chicken wings. This caused them to feel hungry, as they
struggled to maintain their composure.
They were caught in a dilemma.
"Why don’t we stop the pill refining now?"
"Yeah that’s right! Look at our friend Sun’s soul strength. It’s been
reduced by more than half. He probably couldn’t hold on any longe r and
thus decided to grill some chicken wings."
"That’s right. Afterall, he had just finished refining an entire batch of

Vitality Pills. His soul strength must’ve been depleted after all that hard
work. Look, his face is so pale now. He must’ve used a s ignificant
amount of strength."
"I never expected our friend Sun to be someone who’s such a good
friend. In order to help our Queen successfully cross through the
Tribulation, he didn’t hesitate to deplete his soul strength. In fact, he
even insisted on making a second batch of pills for her."
"It’s such a shame there’s a limit to his strength after all, and he is
unable to keep up. It must be that he’s too prideful and refuse to admit
that he cannot hold on anymore. That’s why he decided to run off
halfway to cook some chicken wings."
"Then let’s play along, and allow him to step of the stage in a dignified
manner. But… How should we say it such that he won’t feel
embarrassed at his lack of strength?"
The few of them started discussing fervently.
They all mistakenly assumed that Xu Que had wasted too much of his
strength on refining the batch of Vitality Pills, and thus had no more
strength left to concoct the second batch. They assumed that was why
he started grilling wings halfway.
In actual fact, half of his soul strength had been taken by the system in
order to maintain the automated refining function. Since he was bored
and had nothing to do, he then decided to start grilling chicken wings.
As for why his face was pale…. It was because his soul strength had
been abruptly reduced by half, and his body was still not use to the lack
of strength.
However, none of them knew these. They also didn’t want to hurt his
feelings and ask him to turn off the furnace. Hence, all of them turned
their gazes towards Su Ling’er.
Su Ling’er walked over to him and whispered softly and gently, "Sun Wu
Kong, why don’t you turn off the furnace? You’ve already done a great
deal for me. These Vitality Pills are enough for me to cross the
Tribulations. You don’t have to create another batch of pills for me. If
not, you would hurt yourself if you continue to deplete your soul
strength."
"How can that do? That’s a small amount of pills, it won’t be enough.
Based on what I’ve observed, the second day of Tribulations is going to
be tough. It’s better to be well prepared. Don’t worry, leave it to me!" Xu
Que laughed out as he slapped his chest and spoke out. He then turned
his attention towards one of the chicken wings which was done and
handed it over to Su Ling’er.
Su Ling’er didn’t take receive it from him immediately. She looked at him
quietly, as though she was moved by his genuine actions. Her heart
fluttered.
‘Why is he treating me so nicely...…’
‘It’s obvious that his soul strength has taken considerable damage, and
yet he insists on refining more pills for me!"
‘It’s so obvious that his face is pale, and his body is weak, but he’s still
smiling and putting on a brave front. Is he afraid of losing face.... Or is
he afraid that I would worry?’
...
"Ding! Congratulations host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for subtly acting tough, and
pretended to sacrifice yourself for the greater good. You stirred up
romantic feelings in someone. The reward is 100 act tough points!"
What the….?
What was going on?
Just grilling chicken wings could stir up romantic feelings?
Xu Que was shocked as his heart skipped a beat. He then asked the
system, "Which individual did I stir up romantic feeling s in? Please don’t
tell me it’s Su Xiao Qi or Xiao Yu. Aiyo, fuck me. Just some chicken
wings was enough to cause them to fall for me? That’s not good at all.
They’re still so young. Although the idea of a fox lady and a rabbit girl
does attract me, but they’re still so young. At least wait for them to grow
up man..."
Xu Que started speaking in his head to the system, but the system
replied coldly, "Host does not have enough privileges, for the system’s
level is still too low. The system is unable to reply your question."
"Damn you. What’s the point of having you around? You can’t even
answer the most important questions!" Xu Que shouted out in his head.
The system completely ignored him.
This caused Xu Que to feel extremely restless. There were at least three
females around. Two of them were young girls, and the other was the
Queen of the tribe. If someone were to randomly tell you that one of
them developed romantic feelings for you, but refused to tell you who,
how can you not be restless?
"Sun Wu Kong, thank you!" At this point, Su Ling’er stretched a hand out
and took the chicken wing offered to her. She revealed a sweet and
pleasant smile.
This smile was extremely charming, and accentuated her gorgeous

looking features, which would’ve charmed any mortal man to no end.
Ever since the first moment which he laid eyes on her, he had never
seen her smile like this. He was taken aback by her reaction.
‘It can’t be that this Nine Tails Fox developed romantic feelings for me
right?’
He started getting suspicious.
"Sun Wu Kong, you really don’t have to refine this batch of pills
anymore. I really understand your intentions now. You can stop here. If
you force your way through, your soul strength would sustain irreparable
damage." Su Ling’er spoke gently.
When Xu Que heard this, he was displeased. What force my way

through? I’m having such an easy time.
He shook his head and replied sternly, "Say no more, I’m determined to
finish this batch of pills."
"You…. Why do you have to put yourself through such t orment…." Su

Ling’er was clearly touched and moved by his actions. Some tears
welled up in her eyes.
She had never seen any man who was so willing to make sacrifices for
her in her entire life.
One must know that if a person’s soul strength sustained irreparable

damage, it would affect his cultivation future. If it was severe enough, he
wouldn't be able to ever advance in cultivation level.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘ Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough.

Xu Que heard the system beep in his head again and ignored hit. He
noticed that Su Ling’er’s eyes were moist, which gave him a shock.
What was happening? Could it be that I moved her to tears? That’s

impossible. I haven’t even started flirting with her.
Could it be that…. She’s so angry she’s crying?
Thinking this way, Xu Que forced a laugh as he hurriedly spoke out,

"Please don’t be this way. I can definitely succeed in refining this batch
of pills. Oh right oh right, didn’t I just refine an entire batch of Vitality
Pills? Oh, you have one in your hand, I shall just consume it, that would
make me feel better."
As he spoke, he snatched the pill from her fingers and swallowed it

without second thought.
"No!" Su Ling’er shouted out in desperation as she opened her mouth in

shock, "I…. I licked that pill earlier!"
130 Your Sister Can No Longer Hold Her Feelings
In!
Chapter 130: Your Sister Can No Longer Hold Her Feelings In!
"But… But I’ve already licked it."
Although Su Ling’er whispered this softly, Xu Que managed to hear it

and was immediately embarrassed.
"Phew! No wonder the pill was wet. But it was still sweet!" Xu Que
smiled charmingly.
These words made Su Ling’er blush as she looked into Xu Que’s eyes.
"Ding! The pill refining process has been complete. The host can open
the furnace and retrieve the pills!"
At this point, Xu Que’s mind was flooded with the system beeps.
He was overjoyed and looked at Su Ling’er and smiled. "Let’s make a

bet. What do you say?"
"What?" Su Ling’er replied softly.
"If I open the furnace now and take out pills that have already been
refined, you will owe me another request. How about that?"
"Now?" Su Ling’er was surprised as she muttered under her breath. A

smile crept up on her lips once again as she replied, "What if the pills
aren’t completed or are failed pills?"
"Then I shall owe you a request, or we can can cel out the request which
you owe me. The choice is yours!"
"Alright!" Su Ling’er laughed out and agreed.
Based on her observations, Xu Que only managed to refine the pill

halfway. It was impossible that the pills within the furnace were
completed. If even a single perfect pill were to appear, that would be
miraculous. Besides, it was impossible that none of the pills failed.
Hence, regardless of how she saw it, she was certain to win this time.
And she had already thought of her request. Without a doubt, it was for
Xu Que to remain within Sky Demon Tribe.
"Remember, if you lose, you have to remain true to your word and be a
gracious loser!" Su Ling’er reminded Xu Que, worried that he would go
back on his words.
Xu Que laughed out loudly and replied, "Of course. I am the most
trustworthy person around!"
As he finished his sentence, he placed the grilled chicken wing down

and walked towards the furnace.
The group of people had seen Su Ling’er and Xu Que speaking to each
other although they couldn’t hear what they were speaking. Xu Que then
walked towards the furnace gingerly. Everyone around assumed that he
had agreed to cease his refining of the pills now and heaved a sigh of
relief.
"The Queen is incredible. She managed to convince him."
"Looks like getting him to remain in Sky Demon Tribe isn’t going to be
too difficult."
"Why do you say that?"
"Look at the Queen’s expression. Have you ever seen her smile this way
before? She only looks and smile this way at Sun Wu Kong!"
"It’s no wonder. Although our friend Sun is a monkey race, he is rather
handsome and elegant. He is also extremely talented and has such
extraordinary strengths. That’s not all, he can even refine pills to
perfection. So he’s actually a good match for the Queen."
"Thud!" a dull thud rang out, interrupting their discussion.
The few of them turned their necks to look at Xu Que and noticed that
he had lifted up the lid to the furnace.
A seven colored mist wafted out from within the furnace and rose high
up into the sky. At the same time, a small sliver of blue lightning cut
through the mist, just like a mini lightning bolt.
"What… What is that?"
"Am I seeing things? Why would there be such a scene?" Everyone was
taken aback.
Xiao Yu, who was sitting by the side nibbling on her chicken wings
raised her head to look up and was stumped as well.
"That’s… The Cloud of Pill Perfection, it’s really the Cloud of Pill
Perfection!" She started to tremble as she whispered those words under
her breath and dropped the chicken wing onto the ground. She gave a
disbelieving glance towards Xu QUe.
"Xiao Yu, what’s the matter with you?" Su Xiao Qi was startled by Xiao
Yu’s sudden movement and hurriedly asked her what was wrong.
Everyone standing outside, including Su Ling’er started to gather a round

Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu exclaimed in shock, "Big brother Great Sage is too remarkable!

Once the furnace emits a cloud like this, called the Cloud of Pill
Perfection, it means that the finished product is of the highest grade."
"Highest grade? Aren’t the grade of the pills determined by the number
of stars?" Su Xiao Qi asked curiously.
"Yes. However, under each star, there are still different ranges of
quality. With my own capabilities, I have only refined a medium level
Two Star grade Vitality Pill. The pill which brother Great Sage refined
earlier was also of Two Star grade. But now… This new batch of pills
are Perfect Two Star grade pills. According to the records, a Perfect
Two Star grade pills are even more valuable and precious than Three
Star grade pills!"
"What?" Everyone listened to Xiao Yu’s explanation and were shocked.
"Perfect Two Star grade pills are more precious than Three Star grade
pills? Does that mean… His Alchemy level can also be called a Three
Star Alchemist?"
"How… How was this possible? He’s just a mere Full Foundation Golden
Core Alchemist!"
"That’s not right! The most important thing was that, he was grilling
chicken wings beside the furnace while the pills were being concocted!"
Everyone turned their eyes towards Xu Que, all l ooking astonished

beyond words.


A pair of beeps resounded within Xu Que’s mind as his lips curled into a
smile. He swung his hands towards the pills and grabbed onto them
steadily. Ten Lightning Evasion Pills were removed from the furnace!
He had overheard what Xiao Yu had said about the cloud as well.
Indeed, only the most perfect of pills would emit the cloud over the
furnace after the refining process was completed. However, the
appearance of this Cloud of Pill Perfection had nothing to do with the
skill level of the Alchemist. Instead, it was correlated with the cultivation
level of the Alchemist.
Lightning Evasion Pills were the highest quality pills of the Two Star
Pills range. The reason they weren’t classified as Three Star pills was
because its potency wasn’t strong enough and the requirements to
refine the pills weren’t very high. As long as an Alchemist was of the
Two Star grade, he would be able to refine Lightning Evasion Pills.
However, there had never been anyone who had successfully refined
such a pill. That was because a pill like this, once successfully refined,
would have been classified as a Perfect Pill and wouldn’t be categorized
as a medium or high level pill.
Hence, when it came to Perfect Pills, regardless of which star grade it

belonged to, it presented the most difficulty in the Alchemist realms.
Even a Nine Star Alchemist wouldn’t be able to consistently refine a Two

Star Perfect Pill. Or rather, he had no confidence of ever refining such a
pill. That would be highly dependent on his luck.
And yet Xu Que had managed to refined a Two Star Perfect Pill while
grilling chicken wings at the same time. This caused a fair amount of
disbelief to course through the entire room.
Su Ling’er was at a loss for words as well. She never would’ve imagined
such an outcome to be possible. Not only weren’t there any failed pills,
he even managed to refine Perfect Pills. Looks like she now owed him
another request.
"Big brother Great Sage, wait a minute." Xiao Yu who had been staring
at Xu Que spoke out.
Immediately after, the little girl sprinted towards him and peeled
clenched fingers apart to reveal the pills sitting on his palms. Ten
Lightning Evasion Pills rested, as surges of electric rays entwined within
each pills. A faint light was also being emitted from each pill.
"Lightning Evasion PIll!" Xiao Yu was startled as she let out a gasp.
Everyone around paused in shock and were instantly roused. They

started to rush into the room.
"What? Xiao Yu, what did you just say?"
"Our friend Sun managed to refine the fabled and legendar y Lightning
Evasion Pill?"
"Heavens! How is that possible?"
"My friend Sun, please let us take a look."
"Ah! It’s really the Lightning Evasion Pill. It’s just as the ancient records
described it to look!"
"Hahahaha! Looks like our Queen no longer has t o worry about her
Tribulations."
"The new Demon Queen is our Queen!"
Everyone were surprised as they laughed out like a bunch of maniacs.
"Hang on, don’t be so anxious. Let me apply a layer of chocolate over it

first. This time, it’s strawberry flavored chocolate." Xu Que noticed that
everyone was crowding around him eagerly and shouted out.
"Sun Wu Kong!" All of a sudden, Su Ling’er shouted out across as she

walked towards Xu Que gravely. "Come with me now."
"Ah? What’s the matter?" Xu Que froze.
However, Su Ling’er didn’t explain. She turned around and exited the
refining room.
Everyone around were shocked as well and didn’t understand what was
happening.
"Sister, what’s happening? Why are you so fierce?" Su Xiao Qi the little
red fox asked curiously.
Xu Que smiled and replied happily, "Isn’t it obvious? Your sister can no
longer hold her feelings in. She wishes to express her love for me.
There are so many of you here, of course she will be shy and won’t dare
to express it here."
"You… You’re speaking rubbish!" Su Xiao Qi replied in anger.
"Hehe… see ya!" Xu Que smirked as he clutched onto the Lightning

Evasion Pills and ran towards Su Ling’er.
Su Ling’er didn’t speak a word. The second she left the Pill Refining
Room, she walked into the forest.
Xu Que was somewhat afraid as he shouted out, "Ling’er, aren’t we…

Aren’t we progressing too quickly? You wanna head straight for the
woods now? Why don’t we do it when it’s later? It’s still bright now and
it’s too blatant for my liking."
Su Ling’er paused but didn’t respond to Xu Que. She just started

becoming alert and looked around her surroundings suspiciously. With a
grave expression, she whispered, "Sun Wu Kong, let’s head for the
Lightning Pool now. Let’s not wait any longer."

"Ahh!!! Pervert! You, you stop it right now!"

Xu Que squinted and smiled as he looked at her.

"Scoundrel, you dare!"

Crap! These few old people are extremely formidable!"

Xu Que’s face turned, as he hastily invoked earth Qi from the ground

Damn it, who did I offend this time?

"Sou!" He had nearly expanded all the earth Q i as he turned back to

"Master, wait a minute. That person claimed to be the Prince Consort of
