Chapter 1560: You Dare to Scold Me?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A complete silence descended on the room.
Everyone was stunned.
"F*ck…?"
"Elder Li, what the h*ll is going on? You're supposed to be translating the Divine Text. How come you just said a dirty word?"
"If you'd wanted to curse, you should've done so privately. It's not quite appropriate to do it so publicly in front of all the disciples."
Dean Wang Chi frowned, but he was excited. If even Elder Li had been so excited that he'd uttered a dirty word, it must be that the word he'd discovered was very unusual.
BANG!
Xu Que, meanwhile, was also getting very excited. He punched the Tao Test Stone and looked at the white-haired Elder as he said anxiously, "Just tell us what the word is!"
SWISH!
Suddenly, the Tao Test Stone flashed again with a bright light. Another word appeared next to the original Divine Text.
All of the people who were watching what was going on were shocked. They looked over at the Tao Test Stone.
"Quick, look, the Tao Test Stone has just had another reaction."
"One more word!"
"Oh, my God, can it be this form of Divine Art is really coming to our Heaven Palace Sect?" Several Elders were so excited that they couldn't help but exclaim.
The original white-haired Elder was about to open his mouth to respond to what Xu Que had said, but he was drawn to the Tao Test Stone's reaction.
He'd kept a close eye on the Divine Text. Countless information from the ancient book of records had surged into his mind, and all kinds of reserves of knowledge related to the Divine Text were in play. All this had been input to the translation formula they had meticulously striven to obtain. Soon, the meaning of the Divine Text became evident to him. He suddenly began to look sluggish and as if he was in a daze.
"This…" the white-haired Elder looked dumbstruck as he continued, "…this can't be right. This is impossible. Our methods of translating must be wrong."
"What's going on?" Dean Wang Chi was looking somber as he asked, "Elder Li, stop talking nonsense. What exactly does this Divine Text mean?"
"F*ck you!" The white-haired Elder opened his mouth and uttered these shocking words.
The whole crowd was instantly horrified and speechless.
"D*mn, has Elder Li gone insane?"
"Dean Wang was just saying out loud what we were all thinking. Stop speaking nonsense. And now you're going to tell him off?"
"Not to mention that it was wrong for you to tell him off in this way. With the Dean's distinguished identity, how can you act in this way? You must be losing your mind."
"Absolutely…absolutely disgraceful! What did you say?" At first, Dean Wang Chi stared blankly, but, then after he'd realized what Elder Li had said, he'd become furious.
"No, no, it's not that. Dean, please calm down, you've all misunderstood me."
Elder Li reacted at this point and hurriedly waved his hands as he pointed to the Tao Test Stone and explained, "What I said just now was me reading out the translations of these two Divine Texts. The first text that appeared was translated as f*ck and the second Divine Text was translated as you."
"What is this insolence you're speaking? The Divine Texts are the words of a deity. How could he have used such vulgar words?" Wang Chi asked angrily.
Elder Li looked panicked and exclaimed, "Dean, I'm telling you the truth. If you don't believe me, you can let several other Elders give it a try. However, what I suspect is that there has been a slipup in our translation methods. These words must have been translated incorrectly."
When Wang Chi heard this, he swept Elder Li with a cold glance and said in a deep voice, "The several Elders who have been responsible for translating the Divine Text, come up here now!"
"Yes, sir!"
A few Elders immediately came forward and surrounded the Tao Test Stone.
They all scanned the various pieces of paper and all the materials that they'd been using to do the translations.
Following which, they suddenly raised their heads and looked at each other with looks of astonishment.
"Uh, Dean, Elder Li's translation was correct. According to our translations, these two Divine Texts are indeed the two words f*ck and you," said several people as they bowed toward Wang Chi.
"How is that possible?" At this point, Wang Chi was completely dumbfounded.
Across the board, many of the other disciples were also baffled.
"What was going on?"
"What about the Divine Art that had been mentioned before?"
"How did it turn into obscenities?"
"And these two words are really vulgar. They're not really words that a deity would ever use. Could this all be an error in translation?"
"And, if the translation is correct, then who are these two words addressed to?"
Suddenly, everyone in the crowd became quiet and all their eyes swept over toward Xu Que, all at the exact same time.
Originally, everyone had regarded Xu Que as the Divine Son since he was the only one who could make the Tao Test Stone flow with Divine Text.
But now the Divine Text was swearing dirty words, and the person that the curse was targeted at was evidently Xu Que.
"???"
Xu Que also realized what was going on and why all these people were looking at him with strange gazes, and he instantly went on alert.
"F*ck! Oh my, f*ck me, I'm now furious. You lousy piece of stone, how dare you scold me?" Xu Que yelled loudly, and then he suddenly raised his leg and kicked straight out at the Tao Test Stone.
With a loud bang, the entire Tao Test Stone shook, and then, with another flash of light, a third word appeared.
Xu Que didn't have to wait for the Elders to translate. He could almost guess what the third word was. He flew into a rage.
"A broken piece of stone dresses up as a diety and starts cursing at me.
"Are you so arrogant that you don't think that I, the Act-Tough Saint, can't deal with you?"
"System, come on, bring out the Nine-Star Stone-Crushing Hammer from the System store for me. I'm going to crush this Tao Test Stone today!" Xu Que immediately called up the System and rummaged around for some high-priced equipment in the System store.
The Nine-Star Stone-Crushing Hammer, which was a weapon listed in the Divine Equipment category, was shockingly expensive.
Even with all the Acting Tough Points that Xu Que had accumulated by Acting Tough up till now, he didn't think he would be able to afford it.
But at this time in the world of memory, the System had also been offended by the memories created by the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi. So it had promised that Xu Que could try any props in the System store as well as any System functions for free as long as he was in the world of memory.
Of course, Xu Que was naturally going to squander anything he could get for free to his heart's content. He also looked through the weapons in the Divine Equipment level. However, the conditions for using the Divine Equipment were very harsh. Even if Xu Que had been able to use them for free, he still couldn't order them about. After all, with the small amount of Celestial Core Power that he possessed right now, he could've possibly been sucked dry just trying to lift some of these objects.
However, the Nine-Star Stone-Crushing Hammer impressed Xu Que, because it didn't require the use of Celestial Core Power to move it. It was easy to move, and it was extremely strong.
However, as everyone knows, there was no such thing as reaping without sowing in the world. The insignificant ability of this piece of Divine Equipment lay in its name. Its only function was that it could be used to smash stones. It was said to be able to crush any stone in the world and yield results with just one try. It was guaranteed to shatter any stone into pieces.
Xu Que was delighted when he'd read the introduction to it.
"What kind of f*cking Divine Equipment just crushes stones?
"Wouldn't I be crazy if I had so many Acting Tough Points and used them to buy a piece of Divine Equipment simply to smash stones?
"Besides, is there a stone in this world that is so hard that I couldn't smash?
"Never in a million years did I ever expect that there would be a stone such as this in front of me.
"This Tao Test Stone belongs to the Divine category, beyond the Celestial level."
Xu Que had pounded it a few times and couldn't cause it the slightest bit of damage. It simply shook a few times. It was extremely hard.
But Xu Que initially didn't think about smashing it. He bore no ill feelings toward it. So why should he make things difficult for a piece of stone?
But now, he was really angry with the d*mn stone.
"You dare to scold me? You even wriote that message for me in Divine Text to scold me? I'll f*ck you up!"
Xu Que scolded the Tao Test Stone once again and waved his hands. Suddenly a bright golden hammer appeared in his hands. He raised it up high up before smashing it into the Tao Test Stone.
BOOM!
The Nine-Star Stone-Crushing Hammer slammed down into the Tao Test Stone
and caused a thunderous noise. It was deafening, and circles of waves rippled across the void.
The Tao Test Stone cracked open on the spot. Within one of its cracks, a dazzling glow could be seen gleaming. It shone on Xu Que's body.
WHOOSH!
The next moment, it was as if the dazzling glow suddenly swarmed out from the stone and directly streamed into Xu Que's body.
After that, the enormous Tao Test Stone shook and abruptly turned into ashes on the spot. The ashes sprinkled all over the ground, becoming dirt that then was scattered by the wind.
This entire episode was over in an extremely short time. Even Xu Que didn't have any time to react.
Everyone present stared openmouthed as they stood frozen in place. Their minds had gone completely blank.
"Had the Tao Test Stone been obliterated?"
Chapter 1561: A Great Tribulation Approaches
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"How was that possible…?"
All the people who were gathered in the chamber were shocked.
They considered the Tao Test Stone to be an object that had been left by the deity. It could be said to be the most sacred object in the entire Heaven Continent. No one in the entire world should've been able to break it except a deity.
There had once been an equipment-forging grand master who was at the Celestial Prime cultivation stage who had taken an interest in the sturdiness of the Tao Test Stone because he'd wanted to refine it into some equipment. However, he'd spent a lifetime trying to break off a piece, and he'd still never been able to break it down even by an inch.
But now, a new disciple who was only at the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven cultivation stage, and who had only recently entered the Heaven Palace Sect, had actually taken out a small hammer and smashed the Tao Test Stone to smithereens?
"Oh, my God, this Tao Test Stone must be a fake, right?"
"Don't tell me that this man is really the Divine Son? Is that why he was able to break the Tao Test Stone to pieces?"
Many of the bystanders looked at Xu Que in horror.
Other than wondering if Xu Que was the Divine Son, people were fascinated by the small hammer. "After all, even if it had been a magic weapon used by a Celestial Emperor, it wouldn't have been able to break the Tao Test Stone to pieces. So, how could his small hammer have smashed and shattered it?"
"And what about those two Divine Texts?"
"Why would the Tao Test Stone want to insult the Divine Son? Did something really go wrong with the translation?"
"This…" Dean Wang Chi's face looked horrified as he regarded the leftover pile of dust on the ground. He looked at Xu Que and had no idea what to say to him.
"Was this boy really the Divine Son?"
From faraway in the distance, Xuanyuan Wanrong had also watched the entire incident and was startled as well. She knew Xu Que acted crazy a lot, but she hadn't expected that this guy would actually smash the Tao Test Stone to pieces.
"Was this his natural strength? Or was it as everyone speculated, and he was the Divine Son?
"If he was the Divine Son, then this could also explain why her future self would've chosen him as a cultivation companion."
"Oh, Slayer Lord, some brilliant light from the Tao Test Stone fell upon you just now. Do you feel any effects from that?" At this time, one of the Elders looked at Xu Que and asked him this question.
Just now when the Tao Test Stone had been shattered, everyone had witnessed how the Tao Test Stone had released some rays of light, all of which had streamed into Xu Que's body.
Xu Que had remained standing in the same place, but he seemed very natural, as if nothing had happened.
Everyone was very curious about what those rays of light were.
Xu Que himself remained a bit stumped.
The Tao Test Stone had indeed been smashed. Obviously, the System's Nine-Star Stone-Crushing Hammer had lived up to its reputation as Divine Equipment.
However, the few rays of light at the end had been a bit of a surprise.
Those rays of light hadn't streamed into his body, but into the System. At the last moment, as the Tao Test Stone broke apart, the System had automatically detected a substance called Divine Tao Mark and had asked Xu Que if it should absorb it.
Once Xu Que had seen the three words Divine Tao Mark, he'd felt certain it must be very powerful, so of course he'd agreed.
So, the golden light had been pulled in by the System and then it had all been absorbed into Xu Que's body. It was all gathered in his Dantian area at this time, where it had been transformed into a grain-sized dot of light. It was like a golden star, which was radiating rays of mysterious splendor and lighting up his entire Dantian area.
The System beep could be heard.
DING! "Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Divine Tao Mark. Your current progress is at 1 percent, and you have acquired a new form of language, a Divine Language."
Xu Que's mind was full of questions and he was in a bit of a daze.
He'd originally thought that the Divine Tao Mark would be something powerful, and that after acquiring it he might have some form of Divine Art. But he'd discovered that it actually needed to be collected. Smashing a Tao Test Stone only yielded 1 percent of a Divine Art. "Did that mean that he'd have to smash 100 Tao Test Stones in order to acquire a Divine Art?"
It seemed as if he would have to achieve a certain amount of progress before he could acquire the Divine Art. Now, for example, he had acquired a new form of language, a Divine Language, at only 1 percent.
This was the language used by the deity. In other words, he had now mastered this form of language, and so he would be able to comprehend those words from the Tao Test Stone that the Elders had just received.
Obviously, those Elders of the Heaven Palace Sect had translated those words correctly. The two words that the Tao Test Stone had given them, including the third word which Xu Que had gotten afterward, were as Xu Que had guessed. They were the three curse words.
Xu Que suddenly frowned. "Why did that lousy stone scold me?"
"Slayer Lord?" At this time, an Elder, seeing that Xu Que wasn't doing anything, shouted, "What happened? I was asking you how you felt when those rays of light entered your body just now?"
Xu Que snapped to attention and looked serious as he nodded.
"Everyone, this matter is not too encouraging," Xu Que said in a low voice.
"What's the matter?" Several Elders present were shocked.
Dean Wang Chi couldn't keep still. Xu Que's serious expression scared him a little.
"The light just now only conveyed one message to me. Or it should be called…a Divine Decree," Xu Que responded.
"A Divine Decree?"
Everyone's mouths were hanging open.
"This guy is truly the Divine Son…"
As everyone knew, the Tao Test Stone was an object that had been left behind by the deity. It could assess one's Tao Aura. Only when it encountered Xu Que did the Divine Text appear, so everyone had already been sure that he was the Divine Son.
And now, only he seemed to be able to break the Tao Test Stone and receive a message from it. It was a Divine Decree.
In that case…who else could he be if not the Divine Son?
"What did the deity say?" Wang Chi immediately asked.
"The deity said, we must have light." Xu Que raised his head and recited.
"???" Everyone listened with faces full of doubt.
Only then did Xu Que sweep his gaze across everyone present and say with a solemn face, "Everyone, the deity wants me to tell the world that a great tribulation is about to appear in the Heaven Continent, and the first people to bear the brunt of this will be the Heaven Palace Sect."
"What!!"
There was an instant uproar from everyone who had heard his pronouncement.
The faces of Dean Wang Chi and many of the Elders became very troubled.
"The Heaven Continent is about to have a great tribulation? The first to bear the brunt of it will be the Heaven Palace Sect?"
"F*ck, wasn't my Heaven Palace Sect about to acquire the Divine Art and rise up now? Why are we facing a great tribulation all of a sudden?"
"Slayer Lord, what do you mean by a great tribulation?"
"Do you have any information on how to crack the great tribulation?"
"My Heaven Palace Sect can't suffer a great tribulation at this time."
"What do you mean when you said we must have light?"
Immediately, several Elders looked at Xu Que and asked many questions in succession.
"Alas," Xu Que sighed and said, "…the great tribulation that is coming from Heaven and Earth is extremely scary. The way to crack it is extremely arduous."
"When will the great tribulation come?" Dean Wang Chi asked.
"Five!" Xu Que raised his hand and splayed his fingers.
"Five years?" Wang Chi's face changed.
Everyone present was also shocked. Five years were rather too soon!
"Four!" Xu Que continued to count and bent one finger.
"Three…"
Everyone present was perplexed, "???"
"Two…"
"One!"
Xu Que calmly finished counting and said, "Everyone, the Heaven Palace Sect's first minor tribulation is here."
Having said that, he kept his hand raised. With a POP, he snapped his fingers.
BANG!
A loud noise suddenly came from where the main gate was.
The Heaven Palace Sect's Mountain's Protective Spell Array unexpectedly activated on its own. It seemed as if the sky and the earth had spun madly and had directly blasted the whole main gate until it vanished in a cloud of dust.
But, fortunately, it was only the main gate that had been blown up.
After the crowd had gotten over their initial shock, they looked at the empty area where the main gate had been, and they swallowed hard.
"Was this considered a minor tribulation?"
"Fortunately, it wasn't near where we were. Otherwise, we would've been the ones annihilated."
This minor tribulation was pretty terrible. Everyone wondered what a great tribulation would be like?
Dean Wang Chi and several Elders looked at each other at this moment with grave faces.
Just now they'd all sensed that the Mountain's Protective Spell Array had been activated, but it had seemed that it couldn't resist the destructive power, and the main gate had instantly vanished in a cloud of dust. Other than that, they didn't sense the appearance of other external forces.
Perhaps such an unpredictable appearance of a tribulation was really from heaven and earth.
"Don't tell me…they're going to destroy the Heaven Palace Sect?"
"No, it can't be. Slayer Lord seems so calm, and he just said that there was a way to crack it."
"Slayer Lord, what the h*ll is going on here? What did the deity say about cracking it?" An Elder looked at Xu Que and asked him hurriedly.
Xu Que nodded and said, "The deity said that only light can make this great tribulation disappear. But this method is extremely difficult. It requires the Heaven Palace Sect to work together and use the most powerful Magic Art, with the most natural treasures to create a Son of Light."
"Light?" Everyone stared blankly.
"To create a Son of Light?"
"How…does one create a Son of Light?" Wang Chi looked at Xu Que and asked.
A corner of Xu Que's mouth ticked up, and he said with his hands cupped together, "It just so happens that I am the Son of Light, known as Ultraman Tiga."
…..
Chapter 1562: 10 Million Spirit Stones Will Do
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"You…you're the Son of Light?"
"Ultraman Tiga?"
Everyone present seemed dazed as they stared blankly at Xu Que.
Although calling himself the Son of Light had already bewildered them, now he was calling himself Ultraman Tiga. This was getting really bizarre, completely outlandish.
"That's right, a Divine Decree has stated clearly that I am the Son of Light. And it also bestows upon me the title of Ultraman Tiga. The deity has also commanded me to seek out the other Sons of Light in the world." Xu Que spoke solemnly and appeared to be very much in earnest.
"Are there other Sons of Light?" Dean Wang Chi asked, surprised.
"Yes, of course there are. Dean Wang, we need to find the other Sons of Light as soon as possible. The more light we gather within the shortest period of time, the more likely it will be that the great tribulation can be prevented." Xu Que spoke quickly, nodding his head.
"Why? What's so important about the Sons of Light? Can't this great tribulation be overcome simply by large numbers of people?" Dean Wang Chi frowned, perplexed.
All the Elders present were also confused. They began to feel that Xu Que was making stuff up and that everything he was saying was bullsh*t.
First of all, he'd said that the Son of Light was the only person who could make the Tao Test Stone produce the Divine Text. From ancient times to today, Xu Que had been the only person to have made text appear from the Tao Test Stone. So now he was telling them that they had to find more Sons of Light. Did he think it was going to be so easy?
Or, were there no other Sons of Light in this world?
"You've completely misunderstood me," Xu Que said. "Not all Sons of Light can make the Tao Test Stone react like I did. In fact, each of us is a Son of Light, but our light is not the same. For example, you, Dean, are of the green light, which is what most people have. And you're unable to rouse the Tao Test Stone. But I'm different, I'm a golden light, a sparkling golden light."
"So, in other words, only the Son of Light with the golden light can make the Tao Test Stone react?" Someone asked Xu Que.
"That's right. I'm the only one in the world who is a Son of the Golden Light. What we're looking for now are the few Sons of White Light who exist. This way they can join with me, and together we will make up a Platinum Light that will be invincible in the world." Xu Que slowly explained to them.
��Platinum Light?"
As soon as he'd finished explaining this, everyone present inhaled a big breath. They all thought that it sounded pretty awesome, even though they didn't really understand it.
Anyway, it sounded fantastic, and they thought that they'd understood.
"No, no, no, you still don't seem to understand." Xu Que realized that even though these people were pretending to understand what he was talking about, they didn't have a clue about any of it.
He continued his effort at explanation. "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. Listen to me now, and I'll break it down for you point by point."
Xu Que's voice got deeper and he feigned an air of mystery as he asked, "Do you know about the fetters?"
"What…what fetters?"
"What is he talking about? The fetters?"
"I think I've heard of it."
Many of the disciples started discussing about fetters in low voices. The majority of them looked completely embarrassed because, once again, they had no idea what he was talking about.
"The fetters! My goodness, you don't even know about the fetters? Have you ever played Teamfight Tactics before? Never mind, I'll explain it another way. The fetters of light are very powerful. As the number of Sons of Light increases, the more powerful the fetters become."
Xu Que explained, "These fetters of light have a minimum requirement of three kinds of light. But this kind is not very effective. If there are six kinds of light, we will basically be able to survive for the time being. Nine kinds of light would be powerful enough to destroy heaven and wipe out earth."
"….." Everyone who was listening to Xu Que spout out all this gobbledygook looked dumbfounded. They looked at each other in consternation. They had never felt so baffled in their entire lives.
No one could understand anything that Xu Que said. The one thing they'd latched onto was the fact that probably they were better off with the more Sons of Light the better.
AHEM! "Slayer Lord, then please tell us, how do we determine who are the Sons of White Light? Also, when will the next great tribulation be?" Dean Wang Chi interrupted Xu Que with a question. He was getting tired of listening to Xu Que. He decided to directly ask the question relating to the gist of the problem.
After all, there were so many people here. If everyone were to find out that he himself didn't understand, then he would definitely lose face and look like a moron.
"It's relatively easy to find the light, and yet it's also very difficult. Anyway, in short, as long as there is some kind of payment, maybe money tokens…That's not right, as long as there are enough Spirit Stones, then it won't be a problem," Xu Que said with a smile.
"As long as there are Spirit Stones?" Wang Chi was relieved to hear this. The Heaven Palace Sect was not short of Spirit Stones.
"Yes, there's absolutely no time to lose, Dean. Now, if you will take out all the Spirit Stones from the Heaven Palace Sect, the more the better, I want to form a Divine Formation. This was also imparted to me by the deity. Once the Divine Formation is cast, the white light on the Sons of White Light will be illuminated." Xu Que explained all these directions in an extremely serious manner.
"Okay. I understand." Wang Chi also didn't hesitate. Although the Spirit Stones were very precious, there was no harm in taking some out to allow Xu Que to try to illuminate the Sons of White LIght.
He immediately opened his storage ring and lightly tapped it with his finger. Immediately a purple glow flashed out and landed on the ground.
The next moment, once the glow had dispersed, a large number of white Spirit Stones appeared directly in front of Xu Que.
Xu Que stared at them. "My goodness," he thought to himself, "these are all middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones and they are piled so high. There must be at least 10,000 pieces."
"But seeing how Wang Chi took them out with such ease,…perhaps this amount of Celestial Spirit Stones is just a drop in the ocean to him." Xu Que's mind was working overtime.
"No, I must redouble my efforts."
"Well, Dean Wang Chi, is the Heaven Palace Sect going to be ruined?" Xu Que suddenly scowled miserably. He looked at Wang Ch, his eyes full of despair.
"How dare you say that? What do you mean? The Heaven Palace Sect ruined?… Slayer Lord, you'd better explain yourself. I thought we were going to set up a Divine Formation and seek out the Sons of Light. How is my Heaven Palace Sect going to be ruined?" Wang Chi attempted to control his fury as he glared at Xu Que and asked this question.
Xu Que spread out his hands and said, "I'd originally thought that the great tribulation would not really be terrible, as long as we could set up a Divine Formation and gather all the Sons of Light. The Heaven Palace Sect would then be able to control and rule the Heaven Continent as it had done before. But I absolutely didn't realize that the Heaven Palace Sect would actually be so poor that it only had this small amount of Spirit Stones. How is it going to be possible for me to set up a frigging Divine Formation… How about, Dean, why don't we organize a migration and move to another mountain to avoid the great tribulation?"
"You…you're crazy." Wang Chi was suddenly so furious that his eyes popped out as he said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? My Heaven Palace Sect's reserves are vast. What do you mean, how can we only have this amount of Spirit Stones? It's just that I don't know how many Spirit Stones you need, so I only took out a portion of what I have in store to give to you."
"Slayer Lord, you must state clearly how many Spirit Stones you need to set up a Divine Formation." One of the Elders explained to Xu Que.
"To set up a Divine Formation, it will require at least 1 million Celestial Spirit Stones." Xu Que pretended to do a calculation.
However, when Wang Chi and many of the Elders heard what he'd said, they looked relieved. They didn't seem to be in the least concerned as they smiled contentedly.
"F*ck!
"I gave them too low a number!"
Xu Que's eyelids immediately twitched and he hurriedly added, "This amount will only be able to piece together three kinds of light to create a minor Divine Formation. But as I also said before three kinds of light are not really strong enough and won't be very effective. And also perhaps they won't be enough to stop the great tribulation. I think the Heaven Palace Sect should at least have six kinds of light. A Divine Formation with six kinds of light will require at least 100 million Celestial Spirit Stones."
CRACK!
Instantly, a jade slip in an Elder's hand fell directly onto the ground.
Not only he, but also everyone else, looked stupefied and horror-struck.
"100 million Celestial Spirit Stones?"
"F*ck, even if they were to clean out all the storage rings of the entire Heaven Palace Sect, they couldn't take out this amount!"
"Ah! I made the wrong calculations. 100 million Celestial Spirit Stones are for nine kinds of light. Six kinds of light only require 10 million Celestial Spirit Stones." Xu Que had observed everyone's faces and immediately changed his calculations when he'd realized he'd gone way over the mark.
Sure enough, when they heard 10 million Celestial Spirit Stones, the expressions of Wang Chi and all the other Elders relaxed somewhat, although they still were frowning.
"10 million middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones are still an enormous sum."
"Even though the Heaven Palace Sect has been operating for so many years, and has been eliminating all kinds of expenses, it still only has a reserve of 30 million Celestial Spirit Stones. It was still a heavy loss to have to spend one-third of their reserves all of a sudden and in one transaction."
"Slayer Lord, are you certain the Divine Formation will really be able to find five Sons of White Light in addition to you? And are you certain that we really can't stop this great tribulation with our own strength?" Wang Chi looked grimly at Xu Que, as he asked in a deep voice.
He was still hesitating as it seemed very dangerous to take out one-third of their reserves to deal with this sudden arrival of the so-called great tribulation. He felt that something was amiss.
"Dean, this great tribulation is not to be underestimated. You already saw it for yourself just now, and the next minor tribulation is coming soon. We don't have much time," Xu Que said anxiously.
"The next minor tribulation? When is it coming?" Wang Chi asked, surprised.
"No more than one hour," Xu Que said.
"What…?" Wang Chi and the others suddenly looked at one another in dismay.
Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was witnessing everything from a distance, still appeared to be ice-cold. However, on the inside, she was completely flabbergasted.
She had realized that Xu Que was going to cause a lot of trouble, and she had wanted to watch him at work.
She'd been able to watch without any sympathy as Xu Que was fleecing these people. They were her enemies and she had sworn to herself that she would exact revenge on them. But she was still astonished at how easily they had been duped by Xu Que.
"Wait a minute, something's not right. Don't tell me he's also fooled me by claiming to be my cultivation companion? Maybe even telling me that this world is fake was a lie? Did he do that also to deceive me? But…the memory pearl…" Xuanyuan Wanrong didn't know what to believe. Xu Que was so good at deceiving people it was difficult to believe a word that he said.
At the exact same time, on a mountain peak in the far distance, Buttface and Duan Qide were also witnessing this scene of Xu Que's deception.
Buttface swore, "F*ck!"
Duan Qide said, "Have we also been fooled in this way?"
Buttface was suddenly startled and he said, "What? What are you talking about? What have we been fooled about?"
Duan Qide, "….."
…..
Chapter 1563: Certainly Looking Forward to It
In the end, Wang Chi and the others gave their consent to Xu Que's request to set up the Divine Formation.
However, while letting Xu Que set up the Divine Formation, they surreptitiously removed about 100,000 middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones from the amount they were going to give Xu Que. They'd decided to do this while he was keeping busy with the Divine Formation.
In fact, they were trying to buy some time in order to confirm whether or not the so-called minor tribulation would appear in an hour's time.
Even if it did appear, they were prepared this time and would try to withstand it with their own strength. If they could withstand it, then they wouldn't need any so-called Sons of Light.
If they couldn't, then…well, they would have to bear the pain of suffering such a loss of their Spirit Stones to avoid the calamity of the tribulation.
Xu Que got busy, placing the middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones around the spacious Taoist Sanctum, spreading them out as much as possible.
He spread out the type of spell formation that would gather up all the Celestial Core Power of the middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones.
"Oh, Slayer Lord, why does your spell formation look like a Soul-Gathering Array?" At this point, a nearby Elder, who was good at spell formations, frowned and asked Xu Que this question.
Xu Que calmly spread out his hands and said, "It certainly resembles it, but that doesn't mean it is a Soul-Gathering Array. The principle is similar, after all. The purpose of this formation is to gather the Qi to search for those Sons of Light."
"I get it." The Elder understood what he'd said and felt that Xu Que's words had made sense.
However, this was in fact really just a Soul-Gathering Array. The only difference was that the Qi Xu Que was going to gather led to the Spiritual Links that were under the ground.
These underground Spiritual Links were attached to the Qi for the Heaven Palace Sect's Mountain's Protective Spell Array. But Xu Que had used up to 1,000 spell formations to transform the Mountain's Protective Spell Array into a death spell.
In other words, Xu Que had linked all of the Celestial Qi of the Soul-Gathering Array up to the death spell. The stronger the Celestial Qi, the more terrifying the power of the death spell would be.
"Elder, please take a look at these 100,000 Celestial Spirit Stones that have been laid out. Where are the others? The Dean and the other Elders said that they were going to bring out the remaining Spirit Stones. Why aren't they here yet? It's been such a long time." Xu Que looked at the Heaven Palace Sect's Elder who was with him and asked with a frown.
"Don't worry, there's no rush. The Dean said that he was going to retrieve the Spirit Stones, so he will naturally do that. Just be patient." The Elder replied with a smile.
None of the top-ranking members of the Heaven Palace Sect wanted to take out so many Celestial Spirit Stones when they weren't certain about the reason. But they couldn't say anything in front of so many disciples because their first aim had to be the safety of the Heaven Palace Sect. So, they could only procrastinate for a while at the moment.
"Well, it's almost time." Xu Que's expression still seemed very urgent, but he was smiling on the inside.
The 100,000 middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones were all concentrated within the group of death spells near the main gate of the Heaven Palace Sect. Once it exploded in a moment's time, oh my, he didn't even dare to imagine what would happen then.
A hint of a smile was apparent in Xu Que's eyes. He certainly knew what those high-ranking people in the Heaven Palace Sect were up to. But it didn't make any difference to him.
Now he would just wait for enough Celestial Spirit Stones to be here in order to detonate the Mountain's Protective Spell Array, which had been transformed into a death spell. Then it would destroy the entire Heaven Palace Sect and at the same time shatter the world of memory. Then finally he would be able to smoothly traverse the Relationship Tribulations, and he could return to the Heaven Continent.
It was simple and primitive.
Soon, the hour that Xu Que had predicted to the Heaven Palace Sect as the time for the minor tribulation approached.
Dean Wang Chi and the other Elders hurriedly rushed over with urgent, grave expressions as they were cutting it very close to the tribulation time.
"How's the setup of the formation coming along? Has the minor tribulation arrived yet?" Wang Chi immediately asked upon arrival.
"Oh, Dean Wang, you all have come in time. The minor tribulation will be here very soon." The corners of Xu Que's mouth curled up, and he reached out his hand to point toward the spot next to the main gate.
"The minor tribulation will land there?" Wang Chi was startled.
"Yes, it was the deity's instructions." Xu Que nodded.
"How much longer?" Wang Chi looked grim.
Xu Que looked up at the sky and raised his hand and he said, "Now!"
As soon as he spoke, he snapped his fingers with a POP sound.
As if it had been long arranged, with the snap of his fingers, a loud noise instantly came from the courtyard perimeter wall next to the main gate.
BOOM!
This time, the noise was far more earth-shattering than it had been the last time.
The whole perimeter wall, including the edge of the Taoist Sanctum, was instantly torn apart and shrouded in a ball of glowing brilliance.
"Go!" Dean Wang Chi and several of the Elders looked at each other and made their moves at the same time. They moved like lightning and swept toward the area of the explosion in the blink of an eye.
However, before they had time to cast their Magic Arts, a powerful wave of Qi unexpectedly swept several Elders away and blasted them up into the air.
"Oh no, quickly retreat!" Wang Chi's face changed dramatically. The Suppression Magic Art he had originally prepared directly changed to an Escape Art.
They couldn't have imagined that the mighty force of what looked like a normal explosion could be so terrifying.
They had only reached the outer periphery of the explosion and had been directly affected by the wave of Qi. The few Elders who had been blasted into the sky had been seriously weakened and were almost at their last gasps.
The many Heaven Palace Sect disciples who were present at this time looked dumbstruck as they watched.
"Are the Dean and the others crazy?"
"Rushing up to throw away their lives in vain?"
This is a tribulation from heaven and earth. Even the deity had issued a decree to teach them how to crack it. How could this be something that they could go up against forcibly?
Not far away, Xuanyuan Wanrong also looked astonished.
She hadn't expected that Xu Que would have had the ability to instigate such a enormous undertaking. When the first spell exploded, the formidable power was startling enough. But now that first spell didn't even compare to this formidable power. It was so formidable that even a Celestial Prime would've been seriously injured.
"Was it possible that this guy could really destroy the whole Heaven Palace Sect?"
"Dean Wang, Dean Wang, quickly come back here, it's extremely dangerous." At this time, Xu Que's anxious voice could be heard.
Before Wang Chi and the several Elders who'd remained after the tribulation had landed and were able to calm their panicked states, they heard his voice, and blood almost spurted out of their mouths.
"Could you frigging warn us any later?"
"Save Elder Lin and the others," Wang Chi said in a deep voice after he'd gotten his bearings.
He had evaded danger really fast just now, and he wasn't hurt. However, he knew that he'd cut a sorry figure by rushing up and then retreating. The key was that all the disciples had seen it, which was damaging to his prestige. This made him extremely unhappy inside.
Xu Que looked very calm. This situation was going a lot better than he'd expected. He'd realized that a small part of the death spell was going to be able to hurt those Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes. But he hadn't expected it to actually deal a heavy blow to the Elders.
It went without saying that it was to the credit of that 100,000 Celestial Spirit Stones. The explosive force had been extremely strong.
Nevertheless, without those 1,000 death spells exchanged from the System store, it would've been useless no matter how many Celestial Spirit Stones there had been. After all, all the costs of those death spells added up to more than 100 million Acting Tough Points.
If it hadn't been for the System giving him them for free for a limited period of time, where would he ever have gotten hundreds of millions of Acting Tough Points? Of course, even if there had been hundreds of millions of Acting Tough Points, it would have been impossible for Xu Que to use them in exchange for so many death spells.
"Slayer Lord, quickly set up the Divine Formation and find the other Sons of Light."
At this time, Wang Chi had already come up to Xu Que and thrown out a storage ring while he shouted in a deep voice.
He was in a very unhappy mood, but he had to admit that the formidable power of the minor tribulation had already exceeded the scope of their control as far as their capabilities could stretch.
If there was really the impending approach of a great tribulation, then the Heaven Palace Sect would truly be destroyed.
He couldn't bear the risk and also could not afford to shoulder the blame. At present, he simply couldn't find another way to deal with the sudden turn of events.
So he had to trust in Xu Que's words and take out 10 million Celestial Spirit Stones to set up the Divine Formation.
"Well, rest assured, Dean Wang. I will definitely set up the Divine Formation properly before the arrival of the great tribulation," Xu Que replied, feeling vigorous as he contemplated the 10 million Celestial Spirit Stones.
He took the storage ring from Wang Chi, and there was a pang of excitement in his heart.
Ah, 10 million middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones. It's a pity that I can't take them with me. I really only need a little bit more than 1 million Celestial Spirit Stones in order to make a death spell that will destroy everything.
But just imagine the formidable power of these 10 million Celestial Spirit Stones, all poured into the Trap & Kill Array that has transformed the Mountain's Protective Spell Array?
Well…I'm certainly looking forward to it!

Chapter 1564: You're Done For
All the disciples of the Heaven Palace Sect were called together for a meeting.
After all, Xu Que had said that once the Divine Formation had been completely set up, a white light would immediately appear between heaven and earth, which was the vision of the Son of Light shrouded in light. They needed to send people to find the Sons of Light among them straight away.
Dean Wang and the others naturally also obeyed Xu Que's words and gathered all the disciples to get ready.
However, the entire time Xu Que was setting up, they were looking over his shoulder, inspecting the whole process, under the guise of letting Xu Que set up with peace of mind and not disturbing him. In reality, they were afraid that Xu Que was going to defraud them of their 10 million middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones.
Of course, 10 million middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones were definitely not a small number. Even if they could really resist a great tribulation, they would feel the pain for a very a long time about having to pay the 10 million middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones.
Xu Que was not worried about their looking over his shoulder. He had always planned to use the 10 million middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones in the Array. He wasn't planning on stealing them. After all, it was the world of memory, and it was a false existence. Once he departed this world, everything would disappear.
Consequently, since he couldn't take the 10 million Celestial Spirit Stones with him anyway, he'd decided to let someone else take advantage of the Heaven Palace Sect and do his dirty work.
He would use the Celestial Spirit Stones in this world of memory to urge and stir the spell formations exchanged from the System to destroy the balance of the world of memory. Afterward, he could break out of the world of the memory. The scheme was not brilliant, but simply a cheap trick to get what he wanted to achieve.
While Xu Que was setting up the Celestial Spirit Stones, he was deeply moved and considered himself truly the unrivaled and craftiest schemer of the highest of the heavens, an exceptional genius.
"I'm going to steal your Spirit Stones right in your presence and also borrow the foundation of your Mountain's Protective Spell Array to complete a major death spell to destroy all of you. Aren't you going to be enraged?"
Thinking of all this, Xu Que couldn't help laughing even harder to himself, and he couldn't help speeding up this process of setting up.
All the Celestial Spirit Stones had been set on the ground in a prescribed order. The formless spell formation gradually took shape.
Many of the Elders who had studied spell formations considerably could see that the spell formation seemed to have as its prototype the Soul Gathering Array. But the Elder who had previously raised this question immediately stepped forward to explain to his colleagues what Xu Que had explained to him. Soon, all the other Elders were exclaiming with their admiration over Xu Que's work.
At the same time, Buttface and Duan Qide, who were on the top of the mountain watching everything that was going on, had already launched into action.
When they'd learned that this was a world of memory, they'd already planned to risk everything. Before the world of memory disappeared, they wanted to do something big and do whatever they wanted to just this once.
As a result, Buttface had proposed that they go to directly empty out the treasure house of the Heaven Palace Sect, as well as to defecate excessively inside.
Once he'd expressed this idea, he'd quickly become partners with Duan Qide. Thus, at this time, the man and the Kylin had hidden together on the top of a mountain peak. After witnessing Xu Que pull the wool over the eyes of all those people, they began to launch into action.
Xuanyuan Wanrong was still standing at the outer periphery of the Taoist Sanctum with a blank expression on her face. It was almost as if she were an outsider or a bystander, quietly watching everything.
No one went over and bothered her. She also didn't reveal any abnormal behavior even though the murderous aura had increased sharply in her heart at this moment. She really desired strongly to use a sword to cut down Wang Chi and those Elders who'd surrounded and killed her parents in the incident she'd witnessed in the memory pearl.
But she was well aware that she couldn't do so at present. Coupled with Xu Que repeatedly stressing that this place was just the world of memory, even if she did take revenge here, she would only vent her fury and not really take revenge.
Therefore, she waited and acted as a bystander for the time being. The only thing she could do was to conceal herself and not be detected by Wang Chi and the others. She didn't want to give them any warning about what was coming.
However, she didn't know that whether she'd exposed any clues or not, Wang Chi and the others had secretly had their eyes on her.
They couldn't be sure whether Xuanyuan Wanrong had found the Mighty King and obtained the memory pearl.
Consequently, they had already made plans even before today to extract Xuanyuan Wanrong's memory again. If Xu Que hadn't suddenly come out with his story about a Divine Decree and announced that the Heaven Palace Sect was about to face a great tribulation, perhaps they would already be busy preparing everything at this time to put their hands on Xuanyuan Wanrong.
"These are really troubled times." Looking at Xu Que setting up the so-called Divine Formation in high spirits, Wang Chi couldn't help but mutter coldly to himself.
He swept his glance toward a black-robed elder and soundlessly communicated with him without moving his lips.
"Elder Hei, you watch over Xuanyuan Wanrong closely. I have a very bad feeling about her. That group of disciples came with a report that they'd lost track of the Mighty King. I guess this woman is likely to have already obtained the memory pearl and parted ways with the Mighty King."
The elder in the black robe heard Wang Chi, but his expression didn't change. He made a slight move as he soundlessly communicated his reply, "Yes."
Following which, he was silent for a little while and then said again, "Dean, Slayer Lord came back with Xuanyuan Wanrong just now. Could this great tribulation be…?"
He voiced the suspicion in his heart, but they didn't feel as if the possibility of it was very great.
After all, they had personally witnessed the miracles of Xu Que being able to make a Divine Text appear from the Tao Test Stone and also use a hammer to break the Tao Test Stone. This couldn't be false.
So, to say that Xu Que was the Divine Son, they could basically believe it for the most part
But Wang Chi had always been an extremely suspicious person. Before he might not have thought about it so much, but now that the Elder in the black robe had mentioned it, as also involving Xuanyuan Wanrong, Wang Chi couldn't help but to also start to carefully consider this scenario.
The more he thought about it, his suspicious nature just got carried away.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something fishy was going on.
The more he considered, the more uneasy he became. A feeling, which was causing his chest to feel constricted, became more intense.
"Is it possible that…this is really a plot? But how did they do it?" Wang Chi suspected a lot of things, but really couldn't explain the two incidents of Xu Que making a Divine Text appear from the Tao Test Stone and also breaking the Tao Test Stone.
"Elder Hei, could you ask Elder Li and the others to translate all the Divine Text according to the previous translation booklet. Whether it is right or wrong, do the translation first." In the end, Wang Chi soundlessly communicated with the Elder in the black robe to go take care of another matter.
Since the matter of the Tao Test Stone couldn't be explained, then they would at least take a look at whether there was any translation error in the Divine Text. For the time being, this matter should be confirmed first.
"Okay!" The black-robed Elder nodded and turned to gather several other Elders.
Soon, the several Elders in charge of the translation received their orders. They were startled, but still enthusiastically took out the Divine Text that had been collected earlier.
Placing the translation formula that they'd thought was wrong side by side for comparison, they began the translation.
But unexpectedly, the translation formula, which they had originally thought was wrong, was surprisingly easy to use when they used it to translate the Divine Text. And the translated Divine Text they obtained seemed clear and coherent.
Each Elder had mastered the translation formula and each of them was responsible for a section of the Divine Text, and then they were supposed to put it all together.
As a result, after they had all translated the sections of the Divine Text for which they were responsible, their bodies suddenly shook, and their faces changed sharply.
One Elder looked flushed, and his mood fluctuated dramatically like he had the impulse to vomit blood.
"What…?"
"What's going on…with the Divine Text?"
Several Elders raised their heads in shock at the same time and looked at each other in horror.
They all took out the translated Divine Text in their hands and looked at each other's translation of the Divine Text.
Oh, my God, they're all filled with insults.
"You lowly ant, take your dirty hands away!"
"You're unworthy."
"F*ck, you've just spat on your hand and you dare touch the Stone?"
"D*mn, you even picked your nose?"
"F*ck, don't touch me, beat it!"
"You have tarnished me. I'm going to kill you. I won't give up till you die."
"You, the ant cursed by the deity, along with the ants not recognized by the World of Tao, how dare you be so disrespectful to the Stone."
"You're done for, it's going to be over for you, you're an ant cursed by the Fire God. In the future, when the eyes of a certain deity fall upon you, you will definitely be dead."

Chapter 1565: Exposed
"Wh…what's this?"
Many of the Elders were dumbfounded as they looked at the jade slips in their hands. The lines of translated Divine Text made their hearts twitch.
"What was this?"
"Wasn't the translation method wrong?"
"How…how could it have been used so successfully?"
It had swiftly translated the whole Divine Text without any difficulty.
"But why were all of the sentences of this translated text scolding the tyrant?"
"Wasn't he the Divine Son?"
"Hadn't he received the Divine Decree?"
"Wasn't he sent by the deities to teach the Heaven Palace Sect how to pass through the great tribulations?"
"Sh*t, this couldn't be right!"
Several of the Elders suddenly exploded with anger. Their expressions changed, and they yelled loudly, "Oh no, we've been fooled! We've been fooled!"
"Thief, stop!"
"Return our Celestial Spirit Stones!"
Some of the Elders roared at Xu Que, and some of them used their Magic Arts.
Soon, everyone in the audience had heard these shouts and they were all stunned. They turned their shocked gazes in the direction of all the noise.
Dean Wang Chi, who had arranged for them to translate the Divine Text, was so brilliant that he had figured out what had happened. At this moment, hearing the shouts of the Elders, he groaned to himself as he realized that his speculations had been correct.
D*mn it, it had been a scam, a huge scam!
"You're going to die!" Wang Chi's expression became deadly serious, and his murderous spirit swirled madly, majestic power pouring out of it. It was obvious that he intended to join with those Elders and take down Xu Que.
"Oh, no!" Not far away, Xuanyuan Wanrong suddenly frowned. The situation was not looking good.
Originally, according to Xu Que's plan, he would cheat and obtain the Celestial Spirit Stones and go and change the Mountain's Protective Spell Array into a death spell.
Earlier, as she'd watched Xu Que trick Wang Chi and the others into running around in circles and had even made them hand over the Celestial Spirit Stones, Xuanyuan Wanrong had almost felt that Xu Que had already succeeded.
But now, in an instant, the tables had turned.
The Elders who'd reacted first had already used their Magic Arts and rushed toward Xu Que, who was still setting up the death spell.
Even if Xuanyuan Wanrong had wanted to help, it was too late. But, after hesitating a little bit, she decided to attack and used a Celestial Art against the Elders.
With her ability, and because everything had happened so fast, she could only help Xu Que by blocking these two Elders.
However, at this moment, Xu Que didn't respond at all. He seemed to be completely unaware of what was going on around him and simply continued to focus on setting up the spell Array.
The two Elders from the Heaven Palace Sect who'd rushed out in front of the group to attack Xu Que had been blocked by Xuanyuan Wanrong's Celestial Art and immediately slowed down in order to resist this Celestial Art.
However, the other Elders had started to catch up and immediately started attacking without hindrance.
WHOOSH!
A ray of powerful Sword Qi, with momentum that could split the sky, slashed toward Xu Que.
Another Elder waved his sleeves, forming a golden light in the shape of an inverted bowl, trying to block Xu Que's retreat.
Suddenly, Xu Que seemed to be trapped in a dead end. There was no way for him to escape or to fight his way out.
Xuanyuan Wanrong's expression suddenly changed. In a shocked tone, she reminded him, "You are still not running away?"
She had chosen to attack to buy time for Xu Que. "Who would've thought that this kid would continue to set the spell Array and miss the best opportunity to escape?"
What was even more worrying was that now the Elders were full on attacking him, and he wasn't even resisting. He remained squatted on the spot laying down his Celestial Spirit Stones. "What was he doing?"
Even if he'd wanted to give up, he didn't need to do it so blatantly.
BOOM!
The next moment, both the Golden Light Magic Art and the sky-splitting Sword Qi all came crashing down.
Everyone could see clearly that Xu Que had not managed to escape and was directly overwhelmed by the Magic Arts.
"Something's wrong! That's not his real body!" Dean Wang Chi understood what was happening extremely quickly and shouted loudly.
BAM!
He pushed his palm forward with a shining spirit, his diffusing celestial core power condensing in mid-air and quickly transforming into a scroll that resembled an ancient painting.
In the painting, there were mountains and water. At first glance, it was clearly recognizable as a scene of the Heaven Palace Sect. There was also a dark-colored figure, whose facial features were blurred and couldn't be seen clearly. He was moving quickly in the painting and finally had gotten to a place where he stopped moving.
"He's in the Treasure Room!"
Wang Chi waved his hands and shouted coldly, "This is an order to everyone from the law enforcement hall. Xuanyuan Wanrong is suspected of colluding with foreign thieves and must be immediately taken down, shut into Taishang Cave, and dealt with later. Everyone else, follow me and head to the Treasure Room to capture the thieves and stop the tyrants."
After giving this order, Wang Chi didn't pause. He launched directly into the air, rushing toward the Treasure Room.
Xuanyuan Wanrong was certainly important, but he was very clear that because of Xuanyuan Wanrong's strength, it was impossible for her to escape from the hands of the Elders from law enforcement hall. It would be easy to take her down.
The more urgent task at this moment was to take down that guy who was operating as a tyrant.
Through cheating and lying, he had swindled his way into the Heaven Palace Sect. These swindlers this year were really bold. It was no small matter that they had already stolen thousands of Celestial Spirit Stones by cheating. However, if this news ever spread around the Heaven Continent, wouldn't the Heaven Palace Sect become a laughingstock?
The important thing was that he, as the Dean, would bear the brunt of this. After today, how would he still have nerve to walk around in the Heaven Continent in the future?
Therefore, it was necessary to stop this tyrant. No matter how difficult, it was necessary.
However, before leaving, Wang Chi held back a trick or two. He was 80 percent sure that Xuanyuan Wanrong had restored her memory, so he made a hand gesture and sealed Xuanyuan Wanrong's voice so that she couldn't speak of the truth of her past. Wang Chi didn't want to arouse suspicions from any of the other disciples of the Heaven Palace Sect.
"These old guys, every year they plant Spiritual Poison into my cultivation pills. Now, they've easily sealed my voice. When Xuanyuan Wanrong realized that she couldn't speak, she immediately knew why.
After Wang Chi had made that hand gesture, the Spiritual Poison that had been hidden in her body for so many years was activated and made her mute. What was most deadly was that this Spiritual Poison was produced from her own celestial core power, and so she couldn't expel it by herself.
So Wang Chi could control her life and death with little difficulty.
But…
"When did that guy change his real body into a replica? He did so with so many people watching him, and no one, not even I, noticed it?" Xuanyuan Wanrong didn't bother to resist. She was indeed not a match for the several Elders from the law enforcement hall.
At this moment, she was already thinking about Xu Que's future plans.
"What other follow-up arrangements did that guy have?"
…..
At the same time, in the Heaven Palace Sect's Treasure Room, Xu Que was sitting cross-legged on the floor, smiling and staring at the astonished-looking pre-existences of Buttface and Duan Qide.
"Sh*t, you're so cunning?"
"So which one is your real body? How could I not notice it just now."
Buttface and Duan Qide asked at the same time.
"At the last moment, my replica was broken up, and now Wang Chi and the others are rushing over here. Which one do you say is the real body?" Xu Que smiled and said.
"Nonsense, you must be the real one!" Buttface rolled his eyes, and, suddenly thinking of something, he panicked and shouted, "Sh*t, so you've been exposed? Are they rushing over here now? We'd better slip away."
"That's not right." Duan Qide glared and said in a deep voice, "I suspect that you are also a replica."
"Hey!"
At that moment, Xu Que smiled and shook his head. "What you saw was only the second level, and you even thought that I was at the first level. In fact, I am on the fifth level!"
…..
Chapter 1566: Magical Wisdom
In the Heaven Palace Sect's Taoist Sanctum, three law enforcement Elders, leading dozens of elite disciples from the law enforcement hall, had already surrounded Xuanyuan Wanrong.
At this moment, the majority of the people still couldn't believe that their famous senior would've actually betrayed the Heaven Palace Sect by joining outsiders to trick the Heaven Palace Sect.
They really couldn't figure out why Xuanyuan Wanrong would do this.
This also included the two law enforcement Elders.
Among the three law enforcement elders who Dean Wang Chi had left behind, only Elder Lin, who was dressed in black, had participated in the event that had caused Xuanyuan Qishang to die back in the day when she'd been a little girl. The other two law enforcement Elders knew nothing about what had happened in the past.
If they hadn't just seen Xuanyuan Wanrong attack them and prevent them from surrounding Xu Que, they wouldn't have easily believed that Xuanyuan Wanrong would betray her Sect.
"With such talent, why become a thief? Alas!" An unknowing Elder from the law enforcement hall looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong and sighed unhappily.
Xuanyuan Wanrong stood silent and proud, expressionless, not even bothering to explain. She knew very well that even if she'd told them what had happened back in the day, how many of these people would have believed her?
And, even if they did believe her, so what? In the end, hadn't they just come along to see her die?
What was more was that Xu Que had told her earlier that this was just a world of memory. Everything in it had already happened, and thus, no matter what they did here, it couldn't change the past.
So explanations didn't really matter.
"Ha, ha, ha, this is ridiculous. Why become a thief? You don't even know who is the thief. You're all just blindly speculating here. And it's all terribly stupid." At this time, a laugh could be heard.
"Who's that?" Several law enforcement Elders's expressions became puzzled. And the disciples were also surprised.
Looking in the direction of the sound of the laughter, another person had appeared. They had no idea when this had happened, but there he was at the gate of the Heaven Palace Sect, at the place where previously there'd been an explosion. He was a handsome guy, with a touch of roguishness at the corners of his mouth. However, he also had a despicable air about him that made everyone want to beat him up.
"Tyrant!" The crowd immediately shouted his name.
"So it turns out that you are still here. What trick did you use, to actually lead the Dean and the others all the way to the Treasure Room? What was your ulterior motive?" Elder Lin shouted coldly, waving his hands. Several elite disciples from the law enforcement hall immediately went over and surrounded Xu Que.
Not only did Xu Que not run, but he took the initiative to walk closer to them. He said with a smile, "Do I still need to tell you about my ulterior motives?"
After he'd finished, he looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong and asked with a concerned tone, "Rong'er, they didn't hurt you, right? Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"Rong…Rong'er?"
Everyone who was witnessing this incident opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
"This guy actually called Xuanyuan Wanrong Rong'er?"
"Sh*t!"
All the disciples from the Heaven Palace Sect were horrified. "What was the relationship between this guy and their senior?"
"Their senior was famous for not ever being close to anyone. She was notoriously cold and ruthless, but he'd called her Rong'er? He was…really amazing."
"What are you doing here?" Xuanyuan Wanrong ignored what Xu Que had called her and asked him with a frown.
She was really not sure what Xu Que intended to do. The development of the current situation had already strayed far from the previous plan that Xu Que had told her about.
The important thing was that after the plan had been exposed, Xu Que had obviously had the opportunity to escape, and now for some reason he'd returned. It was difficult for her to understand why.
After all, with Xu Que's current cultivation strength, returning was equivalent to walking right into trouble.
"Of course I'm here to open the spell Array, don't you know? If I set the spell Array but didn't open it, what was the point?" Xu Que walked toward the Taoist Sanctum.
"Open the spell Array? Your spell Array has already been set?" Xuanyuan Wanrong was startled.
"Of course, I'm famously fast!" Xu Que said with a smile.
Everyone was confused. "This guy had come back to open the spell Array. What spell Array?"
Unexpectedly, in the middle of his dialogue with Xuanyuan Wanrong, Xu Que had managed to walk smoothly into the Taoist Sanctum.
"What are you all waiting for, why aren't you going to get him?" Elder Lin yelled.
A few of the elite disciples had managed to recover, and they simultaneously tried to use their Magic Arts to attack Xu Que.
"Hee, hee, hee, you guys are useless." Xu Que smiled, and his figure flickered around as if he could predict the direction from which the people would attack, avoiding them by one step in advance, and then reappearing behind them.
"How is this possible?" Several elite disciples exclaimed.
In terms of cultivation stages, theirs were not any lower than Xu Que's. They were all Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. And in terms of combat skills, they also felt that they could overcome Xu Que.
However, Xu Que had managed to stay one step ahead and avoid all of their attacks, as if he somehow knew everything in advance, which made several people feel completely puzzled.
"Ha, ha, ha, do you guys know what the calamity-foreseeing art is? I can predict the future, what can you do to me?" Xu Que smiled smugly and, without pausing, immediately went to the center of the Taoist Sanctum.
"Spell Array, open!"
BOOM!
He tapped his toes lightly on the ground and the ground started to open up, making a loud noise.
After which, the lines on the ground started to flicker with golden light, with the Taoist Sanctum at the center, and spread frantically in all directions.
"Oh, no, this… our Mountain's Protective Spell Array has been altered!" An Elder suddenly exclaimed.
"Stop him!" Elder Lin shouted, and at the same time his figure flickered as he headed toward Xu Que.
Xuanyuan Wanrong had been already prepared for this and immediately attacked, trying to stop the law enforcement Elders.
However, Xu Que was one step faster than she was, as if he had already anticipated their actions. But he had no intention of dodging them. Instead, he raised his hand and made a hand gesture, his lips moving slightly.
"The Clouds and Pouring Rain!"
An ethereal sound that seemed as if it came from outside the heavens escaped from Xu Que's mouth.
Following which, the color of the sky changed dramatically.
The sky, which was supposed to be bright at this time, instantly became covered with dark clouds that weighed down darkly on the atmosphere.
Heavy rain started to fall from the sky.
Suddenly, the entire area was covered with raindrops, and all the law enforcement Elders and surrounding disciples from the Heaven Palace Sect were immediately frozen in place and couldn't move.
"This…no, this is impossible, how can the laws of heaven and earth have been changed like this?" Elder Lin asked in horror.
"Ha, ha, ha, now this area is under my rule." Xu Que laughed loudly.
Then, with a PFFT sound, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Sh*t, this magical wisdom… Even if this is the System's biggest function, which provides celestial core power, it is still rather unsustainable." Xu Que looked bitter and delayed no longer. He quickly created a few strands of celestial core power and activated all the spell cores under his feet.
This magical wisdom was also one of the ten Great Arts of Compelling Divine Power. Its full name was the "All-Encompassing Magical Wisdom Divine Art". With its wisdom and knowledge, one could have an unobstructed path to enlightenment and be able to summon the clouds and rain.
It was a pity that with his current cultivation stage, in addition to the System's most powerful function giving him celestial core power, it was only enough to reach one-tenth of the power of a Divine Magic Art and could only freeze people.
However, this was already not easy. After all, those three law enforcement Elders were all Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes.
Xuanyuan Wanrong was stunned by the scene before her. She stood rooted to the spot, her mouth slightly open and her eyes full of horror.
She could never have imagined that a mere Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven such as Xu Que could easily freeze all the law enforcement Elders who were Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes, as well as all of the disciples of the Heaven Palace Sect.
Of course, if he hadn't vomited blood, that would've been perfect.
"This guy…" Xuanyuan Wanrong couldn't help but look at Xu Que in a new light.
This guy was almost qualified to be her man!
