At last, Mo Junchen went back to Xu Que’s team. Although he still had some unpleasantness in his heart, the ill feeling was disappearing bit by bit. After all, when it was impossible to change something, most people chose to adapt and get accustomed to it. It was the inherent adaptability of human beings. In other words, people would always roll with the punches.
However, there were always exceptions to every rule, and some people just didn’t give up! Xu Que was an example of this kind of person, who was always rebellious. This kind of person would end up either leading a miserable life or becoming a legendary great man! Fortunately, Xu Que had the a.s.sistance of the System and kismet, which meant he was bound to live a long time and become legendary!
“Frankly, you’ve made a wise decision, Guardian Mo!” On their journey, Duan Jiude made this comment sincerely as he patted Mo Junchen’s shoulder. “When I was in the Four Great Continents, which was an inconspicuous small place, I thought the Void Training Stage would be the highest stage I could reach for the rest of my life. When I started to hang around with this guy, I’ve gone through many difficulties, but I’ve also achieved many accomplishments which were unimaginable before!”
Mo Junchen smiled but said nothing. His smile was quite wry. Deep in his heart, a voice was echoing, “We are different!” However, he knew there was no way back for him now. Mo Junchen really had no choice. If he jumped out of this pirate s.h.i.+p, he would have to face the Heaven Palace Academy and the Divine Farmer Clan alone, which meant he would be killed. So Mo Junchen preferred to stay in this pirate s.h.i.+p that was full of danger and hope! Because…in fact…it was quite thrilling!
…..
Soon, more than ten days pa.s.sed by in the blink of an eye! Xu Que and his teammates were still hurrying to the Heaven Palace Academy. And their trip was a little bit risky. Many people in the Ziwei Celestial Realm had heard about them. Although most people didn’t give a sh*t, it was still difficult to miss Xu Que and his teammates on their journey. If they were recognized, the Heaven Palace Academy would be warned. Then they would have to face the pursuit and attack of the Heaven Palace Academy. So Xu Que and his teammates kept a low profile. With b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude as the guides, they spent most of their time on small trails, so that they could avoid encountering any cultivators here.
Also, they were fading in people’s memories gradually as time went by. After all, more than ten days had pa.s.sed and the Heaven Palace Academy had failed to find any traces of Xu Que and his teammates. After using the trick of diversion with his replica in the Taiyin Celestial Realm, Xu Que hadn’t shown up yet. For many cultivators, this was no longer a topic of conversation. The Heaven Palace Academy was quite embarra.s.sed after losing track of Xu Que. So they kept silent about this issue and continued to search for Xu Que and his teammates secretly.
However, they never expected that Xu Que and his teammates were in the Ziwei Celestial Realm and were sneaking toward their headquarters so that they could rob the grave of the Heaven Palace Academy’s founder!
…..
“Little brat, after going around those mountains, we will arrive at the mountain behind the Heaven Palace Academy!” On a desolate mountain path, b.u.t.tface, who was covering his body with a lot of dried gra.s.s, said to Xu Que. Xu Que rolled his eyes, “Just stand up! Do you really think n.o.body will see you just because you’re covered in gra.s.s?”
“D*mn! I’m commemorating the game I used to play in the R Nation. Little brat, I suggest we should open an Internet cafe on the Heaven Continent! I bet the business would be very good!” b.u.t.tface said as his eyes lit up.
“Nonsense! Do you know how to adjust hardware? Do you know how to adjust software? Do you know how to adjust CPU? How could you open an Internet cafe if you know nothing about computers? Let’s talk about the business at hand! These mountains are full of restrictive spells. Have you checked them before?” b.u.t.tface was stunned by Xu Que’s questions. His mind was dragged back to the business they were dealing with here. b.u.t.tface put on a long face immediately. Duan Jiude also started to stare at the sky at this moment. According to their expressions, the subtext was quite obvious–if we could have broken those restrictive spells, we would have robbed that grave. That is the reason we have waited till now!
“Come on! b.u.t.tface, don’t tell me you are not able to break those restrictive spells!” Xu Que frowned. He knew clearly that b.u.t.tface was quite good at Arrays and restrictive spells, besides having his tough physique. Normally, if an Array or a restrictive spell could baffle b.u.t.tface, the System would also be stumped. Ultimately, the level of the System was too low at this moment.
“Little brat, don’t screw it up at this crucial juncture! I thought you were able to break these restrictive spells!” b.u.t.tface said as he looked at Xu Que.
“How could I break them? I guess they were set up by the founder and the previous Deans of the Heaven Palace Academy! Also, that mountain is their forbidden area. How could I break those restrictive spells easily?” Xu Que said with embarra.s.sment.
“You can break them with your Act-Tough King’s Leg! I think these restrictive spells could be broken after being kicked by you several times!” b.u.t.tface replied.
“I’m afraid that’s not going to work!” Mo Junchen said and shook his head. “The leg art of the Faction Leader is quite powerful. However, it could also make a big noise. Once we make noise here, the Heaven Palace Academy will be startled!”
“Well, I don’t think so!” Xu Que said with a smile. Seeing his smile, b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude were excited, “Little brat, do you have a method to break the spells?”
“Do you remember the Secret Door we encountered in the ruins of that ancient battlefield? To be exact, it was a s.p.a.ce of a G.o.dhead. Actually, it was a combination of a Divine Aperture’s Sh.e.l.l and a remnant soul. Although the G.o.dhead has run away, that Divine Aperture’s Sh.e.l.l was obtained by me!” Xu Que said with a smile as he activated the interface of the System. In an empty inventory grid, the Divine Aperture’s Sh.e.l.l could be seen.
“Holy sh*t! The Divine Aperture’s Sh.e.l.l! It sounds quite extraordinary! Little brat, take it out and let us have a look!” b.u.t.tface exclaimed because he had been impressed by the name of this item.
“You can’t see it even I take it out. However, it can be used to isolate something from the outside world, and then it couldn’t even be seen by a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven! I will place it outside those restrictive spells. Then n.o.body will be startled no matter how big a noise we will make later!” Xu Que said as he looked at those giant mountains which weren’t far away with a smile.
…..
At the same time, in the Star Picking Pavilion of the North Building in the Heaven Palace Academy, a young man was resting by sitting on a large piece of square chilly jade. The magnificent Celestial Core Power in the chilly jade was gus.h.i.+ng into the man’s body continuously.
It was an extremely rare treasure and its name was the Heaven Soul Dark Jade. This treasure could accelerate the cultivator’s absorption of Celestial Core Power. Also, it could toughen the user’s physique. Therefore, it was a priceless treasure! The young man was sitting on the jade with his legs crossed. It seemed that he was almost merged with the Heaven Soul Dark Jade as if he was born on this jade. This treasure had accompanied him for many years. So the man’s Cultivation Stage and strength were quite significant!
KNOCK! KNOCK! At this time, the door of his room was knocked on by someone. The young man opened his eyes slowly and looked at the door expressionlessly. It seemed that the man outside the door had sensed the gaze. Immediately, he knelt down and said reverently, “Young Master, the death anniversary of the second-generation Dean will be held in two weeks. The Master of the House asked me to remind you to partic.i.p.ate in the wors.h.i.+p with sacrificial offerings!”
“Is my grandpa’s death anniversary coming so soon? Okay, I got it!” The young man was stunned a bit. Then he replied with a smile. He knew he would get the inheritance from his ancestors on the death anniversary. For him, it was a good thing and also a secret!
“Young Master, I have something else to report!” At this time, the man outside the door continued after a short hesitation, “Today, I got the report from the apprentices and teachers who were sent out. They haven’t found Xu Que’s father and his followers yet!”
“Ask them to continue the search. And don’t bother me again unless they have made substantial progress! Now, leave me!” The young man said indifferently.
“As you wis.h.!.+ Farewell, Young Master!” The man outside the door replied reverently and left in a hurry.
The young man continued staring at the door with a cold smile on his face, “Xu Que’s father? Heh! I didn’t expect that the one who Jiang Hongyan loves is the son of an old liar! His lowly bloodline is really disgusting! However, I really want to know why Jiang Hongyan could fall in love with Xu Que, who is a n.o.body, and refuse the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus of the Sage Sect!”
After that, a strand of regret appeared on his face. TSK! TSK! “I wouldn’t have given such a perfect woman to that Divine Being of Taoist Fetus if I didn’t need to take the interests of the whole into account!” The young man licked his lips as a creepy light flashed in his eyes.
