Chapter 1090: Ran Away?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Oh?" Xu Que heard her and stopped abruptly! He wasn't interested in the safe place the woman mentioned, but he was perplexed as to why the woman would want to collaborate with him! After all, based on his interactions with Wang Qiannian and the group, no one would bother to interact with him because he was only in the Half-Celestial Stage. Wang Qiannian gave up battling with him because he was too lazy. Why was it that this woman came over specially to initiate collaboration with him?

There was no such thing as a free lunch; Xu Que didn't believe in such a good deal!

"Fellow cultivator, to tell you the truth, I have no other choice. Therefore, I wanted to try my last chance with you!" The woman lowered her head and looked dejected.

"You have no other choice? Then all the more you shouldn't be looking for me. Do you think someone who's in the Half-Celestial Stage would be stronger than others?" Xu Que laughed as if he had seen through her tricks.

That woman was aware of Xu Que's suspicions; she shook her head and replied, "It is just my intuition. You're brave enough to come to the eastern suburbs alone. Maybe you didn't know how dangerous this place is, but now you can see that it's a remote area where few people live…no, I should say that there's nobody over here at all. You should have guessed that this place isn't simple, but you chose to continue, which suggests that you've extraordinary strength!"

"Don't say that. Maybe I'm just silly. I have blind confidence in myself!" Xu Que laughed.

The woman shook her head instantly. "It doesn't matter. My brother is running out of time. If he doesn't receive help, he'll die. Fellow cultivator, we must work together. Let's work together to mine for the Vital Rice. If we're successful, I only need 12 Vital Rice to lengthen his life for a year! The rest of the Vital Rice is yours!"

"Sounds good, so tell me how many Vital Rice there are in that place you mentioned, and how many more would be left after giving your brother 12 Vital Rice. By the way, what do I need to do if I cooperate with you?" Xu Que nodded, pretended to agree and asked for the details.

That woman blushed at once. "That place…there are about 20 Vital Rice, so you could have about eight! Fellow cultivator, I know that this number may be very small for you, but the place is really safe, without any risk. Although I am in the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage, if I excavate that area, I can no longer deal with all the Vital Ants, so you only have to block off those Vital Ants for an hour, I'll steal the Vital Rice, then we'll leave straight away!"

Xu Que listened and was instantly amused.

That woman looked really anxious. If Xu Que was an ordinary person, he would probably believe her. But who was Xu Que? His tricks were much more complicated than anyone else. How could he believe in that woman so easily?

A Vital Ants' nest with only 20 Vital Rice? That's impossible!

The key was he had to fight off those Vital Ants for an hour; the duration was a tad too long!

"Fellow cultivator, what do you say?" Just then, the woman looked at Xu Que and asked anxiously.

Xu Que smiled coolly, but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Tell me. Why did you find me? Was it just because I'm extraordinary?"

That woman was startled, and a bitter smile flashed across her face. She shook her head lightly, "Not because of that! But at least…your cultivation stage is lower than mine so I don't need to worry that you'll pocket all the Vital Rice. And in the public square, I saw your discussion with Wang Qiannian about the women on the street. From your expression, I believe you can be trusted. In this place, you're the only one I dare to collaborate with!"

"..…"

After her explanation, Xu Que was speechless! The rationales of her seeking him as a partner were because his cultivation stage was lower than hers and he had a bit of honesty!

D*mn it! He thought it was because of his handsomeness that she wanted to take the opportunity to get acquainted with him. To his dismay, her rationales were really disappointing!

Xu Que shook his head, "Miss, our collaboration can be discussed in the future, but I've got to dig out the nest of Vital Ants in this mountain first."

Xu Que turned about and headed up the mountain.

That woman exclaimed, "Fellow cultivator, no! This mountain has a Queen Ant, its nest must be huge and robust, it's impossible for you to dig openly. You'll only startle them. And we'll be in great trouble; we'll die here!"

"Don't worry. The Exploding Heavens Faction has always been fearless. As I told you just now, I'm not fearful of any of those Queen Ants!" Xu Que smiled and continued to walk up the mountainside!

The woman was completely pale, with despair in her eyes. She had been really driven into the corner before she decided to seek Xu Que's cooperation. Who knew that he would be so stubborn. He already knew that the mountain was dangerous, and he still wanted to try. His attempt was too lethal. Once the Queen Ant was alarmed, she could escape all by herself, but Xu Que would probably just die there. If that happened, she would have a hard time finding a new partner.

But in that abandoned place, was there anyone she could collaborate with? No, there was no one! She was afraid to find the wrong person who might steal all of the Vital Rice. Then she would lose her last chance!

"Forget it! It's better to fight and save him than to cooperate with others!" Finally, the woman gritted her teeth and decided to give it a try. She had devised a good plan; now it was obvious that she couldn't stop Xu Que, so if Xu Que alarmed the Queen Ant, she would rescue him and they could escape together. Xu Que would owe her a favor and,if they were to cooperate again, he wouldn't have the ungrateful thought of pocketing all of the Vital Rice!

Just then, Xu Que stopped on the mountainside; his eyes gathered strong Spiritual Qi as he looked attentively at the ground. According to the Cave-positioning Technique of the dragon-hunting formula, he was sure that his location was the location with the best feng shui in the whole mountain range. The probability of the existence of a Vital Ant's nest was extremely high.

However, the woman was startled when Xu Que stopped advancing. She thought that he had thought it through and was afraid to move on. After all, the excavation of the Vital Ant's nest usually began from the top of the mountain. They usually began at a location where there was abundant Spiritual Qi, everything then depended on their luck.

But Xu Que's present position wasn't the location with the most abundant Spiritual Qi. In addition, he stood there without moving, so she thought Xu Que was contemplating whether he should go up the mountain or not.

Right away, she opened her mouth and shouted, "Fellow cultivator, listen to me…"

"Here it is!"Before she finished, Xu Que suddenly shouted, raised the Luo Yang shovel in his hand, and plunged it into the ground on the left! Following which, he skillfully maneuvered the Luo Yang shovel, digging deeper and deeper into the ground!

A moment ago when he stood there motionlessly it was because he was calculating the terrain of that location. With the use of his dragon-hunting formula, according to the practice of a tomb-raider, he found a most secure and easy location to enter; it was obvious that he had succeeded! With the Luo Yang shovel continuously going deeper into the ground, the woman watching from below was befuddled. She had never seen such a shovel nor had she seen an excavation like that. She was totally confused and couldn't understand it at all! But she knew that the Luo Yang shovel that Xu Que used was extraordinary.

That shovel looked strange, but the material was made from pure metal material. It was definitely made by the hands of an Equipment Forging Grandmaster. She even felt that the material was good enough to refine an Inferior Celestial Artifact!

But in fact, Xu Que's Luo Yang shovel was exchanged from the System. He had spent a whole 200,000 Acting Tough Points to get that! He knew the land in this area was very firm and sturdy, and with Wang Qiannian's description of the nest, Xu Que knew that he shouldn't save on his Acting Tough Points. Thus he burned a hole in his pocket to get that Luo Yang shovel.

Once the excavation was successful, he believed that he could absolutely earn back the 200,000 Acting Tough Points!

Bam!

Finally, when the Luo Yang shovel was deep inside the ground, Xu Que suddenly drew out the Luo Yang shovel. The whole of Luo Yang shovel came up and there was a whole pile of soil coming out with it!

Thud!

Then many drops of black liquid were dripping from the tip of the shovel. There was a large black mass mixed with soil. Xu Que was startled and he squinted at it.

"That…that's the head of a Vital Ant?" Suddenly, the woman at the foot of the mountain exclaimed; her face was full of surprise and disbelief. That was Xu Que's first excavation and he actually found the nest of the Vital Ants. The point was that dude could go through the nest and chop off the head of a Vital Ant. If that was made known to the public, it would be…simply appalling!

Bang!

Suddenly, the whole mountaintop shook and gave out a loud noise. The next moment, the mountain range trembled. It was as if a gigantic creature was moving underneath and moving the whole mountain. The location where Xu Que was standing was covered with innumerable fissures! The sturdy mountain was breaking down in that moment, and an imposing pressure and murderous aura were pouring out from the ground and permeating the air.

"Oh no, the Queen Ant is alerted!" The expression on the woman's face darkened and she shouted at Xu Que, "Fellow cultivator, come back now, quick…"

Before she could finish, Xu Que suddenly kept his Luo Yang shovel, threw down something n a hurry, stepped on two flaming metal wheels, bolted out of the mountain and, in a blink of an eye, he had fled hundreds of miles away.

At that moment, the woman was the only one facing the dangerous situation! She was dumbfounded!

That dude…ran away after he alarmed the Queen Ant?

The point was that he ran away with the help of a low-grade Celestial Artifact?

Chapter 1091: A Seamless, Awesome Operation!

"Miss, what are you doing there? Get out of the way. The Ultimate Enhanced Version of the Exploding Heavens Faction's Dichlorvos is very strong. Be careful not to be affected!" At that moment, Xu Que's voice sounded from the sky.

The woman instantly collected herself, and without any hesitation, she made a quick retreat toward the rear.She wasn't afraid of being hurt by Xu Que's Dichlorvos, but, if she was a minute slower in her departure, she wouldn't be able to leave when the Queen Ant appeared.

However, when she had just escaped, she saw Xu Que flying back with a barrel on his back and a pipe connected to it that he held in his hand.

"Fellow cultivator, what are you doing? Run!" The woman cried out in alarm.

She didn't think that the little amount of Xu Que's Dichlorvos could overthrow the Queen Ant, who was equivalent to an Earth Celestial!

"Heh, heh, this is a new formula, it's an enhanced version. The Extreme Enhanced Version of the Exploding Heavens Faction's Dichlorvos!"

Xu Que grinned, as he held onto the sprayhead of the Dichlorvos, stepped on his Firestorm Wheels, and moved at lightning speed. He swiftly changed his location in the sky as he approached the mountain range. As soon as he sensed its imposing manner, Xu Que knew that the Queen Ant, who was comparable to an Earth Celestial, was a terrible presence! Hence, he enabled his Firestorm Wheels to ensure his own safety. Then he took out his Dichlorvos, ready to launch an attack.

Xu Que's initial plan was to kill the nest of Vital Ants with his Dichlorvos. But he had given up on that plan. The Vital Ants and Queen Ant weren't simple—even if his Dichlorvos was exchanged using tens of thousands of Acting Tough Points—it was impossible to kill the Queen Ant. Let alone the Queen Ant, it was hard to kill an ordinary Vital Ant! However, even if he couldn't kill them, he could make them lose their consciousness temporarily!

Xu Que's goal was very clear; he only wanted the Vital Rice. He didn't care about the life and death of those Vital Ants. As long as he could get his Vital Rice, nothing else mattered!

Swoosh!

In a moment, his Firestorm Wheels returned to where he had previously stood and his Soul Strength was used to the maximum. He was bound and determined as he pushed the Dichlorvos into the small hole that was dug out by his Luo Yang shovel. He pressed the button immediately!

Following which a hissing sound could be heard and a white mist with a pungent smell suddenly burst out. Xu Que immediately condensed his Taoist Connotation and Soul Strength and mixed them into the white mist, and forcing the white mist into the cave! However, not long after his Soul Strength invaded the ground, it was suddenly blocked by a stronger Soul Strength.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Xu Que's Soul Strength that had plunged into the ground exploded instantly. He was struck by a huge force; his flesh was instantly covered with wounds and his blood spilled in the air. Xu Que was taken aback by its power. He had estimated the strength of the Queen Ant to the greatest extent. Unexpectedly, that Queen Ant was so ferocious that a single Soul Strength could crush and heavily injure him.

Fortunately, his body was strong enough. If he was replaced by an ordinary cultivator in the Half-Celestial Stage, that person would have exploded into a bloody mess!

"It's too horrible, Earth Celestial Stage…it's indeed extraordinary!" Xu Que couldn't help but sigh. He had underestimated the strength of that Cultivation Stage.

Although he had killed some in the Human Celestial Stage, it was always under special circumstances. Then he met the aces at the Human Celestial Stage from the three academies. However, he had never really battled with them formally. Thus, he didn't have a good understanding of the strength of those at the Human Celestial Stage. So everything could only be guessed. But now he knew that in face of those aces from a different Cultivation Stage, the power gap between those Cultivation Stages was too huge.

Even if he had Celestial Artifacts, he knew that if he was facing the Queen Ant, he wasn't on par with her.

But…with Dichlorvos, it would be different!

I'll knock you out and then rob you under your eyes. What can you do? He thought to himself.

Xu Que smirked, and he quickly enabled the automatic recovery ability of the System. He stepped on his Firestorm Wheels and flew rapidly toward the hole! Just now, though his Soul Strength exploded, it had also destroyed the Soul Barrier set by the Queen Ant. A substantial amount of Dichlorvos must have gone in. Xu Que was sure that the group of Vital Ants, including the Queen Ant, were now in a muddled state. Dichlorvos was their Achilles' heel.

That was the best time to snatch the Vital Rice!

Bang!

Xu Que moved his Dichlorvos and rushed directly into the cave. His Soul Strength condensed into a ball and crazily explored the cave. He quickly found the location of the Vital Rice. He grabbed it all and then quickly retreated.

Hundreds of meters away from the peak, the beautiful female cultivator was astounded. She couldn't believe it. She watched Xu Que sprayed things at the entrance of the cave. Then he was blown into a bloody mess by a single Soul Strength. However, he darted back into the cave with blood all over him. At last, he emerged with a whole pile of Vital Rice and retreated from the cave.

Such a seamless, awesome operation almost blew her mind.

"How…how is that possible?" The woman was so jittery and she couldn't fathom how Xu Que had accomplished it. It was well-known that even a wisp of Soul Strength from the Queen Ant, who was comparable to an Earth Celestial, was formidable. Over the years, she had seen countless cultivators at the Human Celestial Stage die under the Queen Ant's Soul Strength before they even started. But Xu Que survived its attack, and he had successfully stolen the Vital Rice. That scene was amazing!

"Miss! Run for your life! The Queen Ant is awake!" At that moment, Xu Que shouted as he stepped on his Firestorm Wheels and appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye.

"Uh?" The woman was in a daze and slowly collected herself.

But the next moment, her vision was blurred. She felt that her hand was grabbed by someone and was pulled by a powerful force and, in the blink of an eye, she flew away dozens of miles. She bolted to the far distance at a terrible speed.

"Fellow cultivator, you…" She finally collected herself and looked at Xu Que who was taking her away. She had a face of disbelief.

"Don't talk. Hide your Soul Strength and your presence! D*mn it! That Queen Ant is too powerful. I had already used the extreme version of Dichlorvos, but could only knock her out for a few seconds!" Xu Que was no-nonsense as he continued to step on his Firestorm Wheels and maximize its speed to the limit.

He dared not relax at all. His Firestorm Wheels could only exert a speed comparable to the Earth Celestial Stage. But the problem was that the Queen Ant was also comparable to the Earth Celestial Stage. If he didn't run a little faster, she might catch up within seconds!

"Fellow cultivator, don't worry, we're safe, the Queen Ant can't catch up with us. Although she's strong, she can't be too far away from her nest, otherwise she'll fall into a period of weakness!" Thewoman reminded Xu Que.

"Oh?" Xu Que heard her and immediately used his Soul Strength to check out the Queen Ant.

Sure enough, there was only a continuous roaring in the distance, but the Queen Ant didn't chase them. In that instant, he heaved a sigh of relief and was finally at ease.

"Fellow cultivator, you…" Just then, the woman looked at Xu Que and was about to speak.

"Humph!" Xu Que scoffed, and his body jumped. He said in a cold voice, "That Queen Ant should be glad that she didn't catch up, otherwise if I exerted my Ultimate Unique Skills, it would surely die! Miss, what was that look? Don't be silly, I wasn't running away, in fact, I'm preparing a grand attack! The Exploding Heavens Faction never had run away in their dictionary! Uh? Is that an expression of disbelief? Let's go, I'll take you back at once and let you see my grand attack with your own eyes!"

Chapter 1092: The Man Who Controls Life and Death!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Ah? This…is really unnecessary!" The woman was surprised and said in confusion.

We escaped with great difficulty. Why does this guy want to go back? If you really have a unique skill, why did you escape in such a confounded way?

There is a queen ant who is as powerful as cultivators at the Earth Celestial Realm! You have just reached the Half Celestial Realm! Do you really have a so-called unique skill to defeat it?

"Young lady, what you say is incorrect! Why did you say it is unnecessary? Do you remember what I said just now? We never step back! Members of the Exploding Heavens Faction always keep their promises! Come here, let me take you back!" Xu Que said heroically.

In fact, he wasn't boasting this time; he really had a unique skill!

When they were escaping just now, he remembered he had acquired a palm technique from the Ancient Life and Death Wheel. And the name of the palm technique was the Reincarnation Palm. This magic art had the same effect as the Wheel of Life and Death. Although it was a little bit less powerful, it could change the Vital Force and Lifeless Qi of everything, according to its Way of Heaven. This couldn't be realized by the Celestial Artifacts like the Wheel of Life and Death!

But Xu Que didn't dare stop and try it just now. After all, in front of a queen ant of the Earth Celestial Realm, he would be killed instantly if he failed. When the woman said the queen ants couldn't be far away from their nests, Xu Que became brave again. He thought it was not a bad thing to go back and try that magic art. If he failed, he could still run away because the queen ant would stay close to its nest!

"Ah? My fellow cultivator, this…is really not necessary! I believe you have a unique skill to defeat it!" The woman said wryly as she waved her hands.

I really believe you, OK?

"No! This is absolutely necessary! Come on, let's go!" Xu Que shook his head. Then, he jumped on his Firestorm Wheels and started to dash toward the mountain, dragging the woman with him.

The woman tried to get away from him. But it was too late. Xu Que's Firestorm Wheels were so fast that the woman didn't even have time to react. Also, she still needed help from Xu Que. So, she couldn't attack him at this moment. After several moments, the woman realized it was too late for her to regret anything. That enormous mountain was in front of her again!

Boom!

When they arrived at the mountain, magnificent pressure gushed out again. Along with the muffled roars, a cloud of horrible killing intent descended, which was quite suffocating!

"My fellow cultivator, let's…just leave here! This is…" The woman desperately tried to persuade Xu Que. She didn't believe a cultivator at the Half Celestial Realm could handle a queen ant. This was totally impossible!

Xu Que said with a smile, "We've arrived at this place! How could we leave in such a short time? Young lady, have you heard of a palm technique which can descend from the sky?"

"Descend from the sky?" The woman was stunned and looked up subconsciously.

Whoosh!

Xu Que jumped up into the sky by stepping on the Firestorm Wheels. Then he dashed toward the mountain!

Rumble–!

Almost at the same time, the mountain trembled a bit. Along with the tumbling of rocks, a crack appeared in the mountain. Then, a pair of antenna, which were extremely long, reached out from the crack. They were waving like two long halberds, crushing countless rocks.

"My fellow cultivator!" The woman shouted at Xu Que in shock!

Xu Que didn't plan to retreat. He stopped in the sky. Then he raised his arms and started to rotate his two palms like the starting posture of Tai Chi!

Boom!

Along the rotation of his palms, the Void was distorted, which created a lot of dull sounds. The Spiritual Qi around him started to gush toward him crazily. A cloud of massive power started to spread out from Xu Que's body abruptly.

"This…is…" The woman was stunned.

This aura was so familiar and was totally identical with the Rules of Heaven and Earth! The Rules of Heaven and Earth now in this world were not like they had been at the beginning. When they were replaced by the Taoist Connotation of Life and Death, everyone in this world had to obey the new rules. However, she didn't expect that Xu Que could use these rules. It was unbelievable to her!

"What?" Xu Que was also surprised.

He had planned to have a try first. Although the Ancient Life and Death Wheel could also be used in this world, it seemed it was suppressed by the Rules of Heaven and Earth! So, he tried to check the effect of the Reincarnation Palm. However, the starting momentum of the Reincarnation Palm had gone far beyond his expectations!

No way! The Reincarnation Palm couldn't be so powerful! But it seems this palm technique is closely related to this world!

Xu Que's expression changed slightly. He knew the power of this palm technique. After all, the degree of proficiency was quite low. It was even less powerful than the King of Tough-Acting Fist.

Now, it seemed he had figured out what had happened. The Rules of Heaven and Earth had been changed. The Reincarnation Palm seemed to be the key to activate the Rules of Heaven and Earth. Once he brought it into play, the rules of this world seemed to be activated. It seemed he could really control life and death in this world!

Could it be that…the tough guy used the Reincarnation Palm to change this world? Xu Que thought to himself.

Boom!

At this time, the mountain was split in half. The long antennas were fully displayed. Then a horrible giant head with a big mouth full of sharp teeth appeared!

"Humph! You are just a queen ant! How dare you offend me? Today, I will use you to test my palm technique!" Xu Que snorted as he rotated his hands. His Taoist Connotation gushed out and became the Taoist Connotation of Life and Death in his palms, which stirred the Spiritual Qi around him.

The Rules of Life and Death lingering between Heaven and the Earth started to gather in Xu Que's palms. Then the Vital Force and the Lifeless Qi gathered in his palms.

"Just die!" Xu Que shouted as he pushed forward the palm which was full of Lifeless Qi!

Bang!

Instantly, a cloud of magnificent Lifeless Qi gushed out from Xu Que's palm. Then it became a strand of black light, which was full of chilliness and the power of death, and it landed on the queen ant's head heavily!

Growl!

The queen ant roared and its lantern-size eyes were full of shock and terror! It was shocked for part of its Vital Force was being destroyed by the human being in front of it with the Lifeless Qi! This part of its Vital Force was enough to sustain its life for several hundred years!

"Wow! This is interesting! I even earned ten years of Vital Force!" Xu Que smiled and his heart was filled with wild joy. His Reincarnation Palm seriously damaged the queen ant's life-span. The Vital Force in his right palm became more dazzling. One part of this Vital Force also went into his body and became ten years more of life-span! In other words, his life-span had reached 11 years directly from that moment.

This is much more efficient than stealing the Vital Rice! Instantly, a strand of creepy light flashed in Xu Que's eyes.

From now on, I will be the man…who controls life and death!

Chapter 1093: Even Ants Can't Escape from His Evil Talons!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Growl!

At this time, the queen ant roared angrily and crawled out of the mountain completely crazed. Behind its giant black head, its bloated body emerged, which was just like a giant white worm. Its body was several times larger than its head. The entire Queen Ant was as large as a small mountain!

Holy sh*t! This is so f*cking disgusting and ugly! Xu Que cursed to himself.

He had seen Queen Ants on Earth. However, he was still shocked by this enormous one!

"Taste my Reincarnation Palm!" Xu Que shouted again. Then he changed his position by stepping on the Firestorm Wheels as he rotated his hands to throw out the Lifeless Qi again.

After coming out of the mountain, the enormous Queen Ant dashed toward Xu Que.

However, Xu Que's Firestorm Wheels were as fast as cultivators of the Earth Celestial Realm. So, Xu Que was as fast as the Queen Ant. Its determined attack missed its target of Xu Que.

Bang!

Now, Xu Que attacked with the Reincarnation Palm. The black light beam which was full of Lifeless Qi landed on the Queen Ant's ugly body heavily. The black matter went into the Queen Ant's fat, white body and counterbalanced its Vital Force alarmingly!

Instantly, Xu Que had earned another ten years of life-span!

The Queen Ant was knocked down on the ground and started to roar angrily as it lost several hundred years more of its life-span.

"He, heh, heh, this is so nice! Did you see that, young lady? I said my unique skill was extraordinary!" Xu Que couldn't help but show off in front of the woman with a proud smile.

The woman was dumbfounded, for she certainly hadn't expected the result would be like this! Such a horrible and powerful Queen Ant, which could scare countless cultivators away, had been seriously wounded by Xu Que, who was only at the Half Celestial Realm! This was so unreal!

"OK! This time I will give it ten consecutive strikes! I hope I can earn 100 years of life-span!"

Xu Que decided to continue his attack. So, he started to rotate his hands rapidly again!

Boom!

The Spiritual Qi around him started to agglomerate crazily. The Rules of Heaven and Earth also gushed toward him. Xu Que's True Core Strength was also drained instantly. He wasn't worried about it for he had the support of the System's Automatic Recovery Function. Now he had decided to try and defeat the Queen Ant quickly and earn more Vital Force and life-span. In this way, he didn't need to steal the Vital Rice again!

"Stop!" Suddenly, the enormous Queen Ant shouted angrily.

Xu Que was stunned. Then he calmed down. In the World of Cultivators, Demonic Beasts which had reached the Golden Core Stage would be intelligent. This Queen Ant would definitely be intelligent for it had reached the Earth Celestial Realm.

But he decided to continue his attack. You can't stop me just by shouting at me! Xu Que sneered to himself as he continued his attack. However, he was dumbfounded the next moment.

That fat, ugly, and disgusting Queen Ant was covered by dazzling light.

Chi!

All of a sudden, the dazzling light diminished along with a tiny sound. Then the mountainous Queen Ant became a sexy and gorgeous woman. Her private parts were covered by black armor. But her white slim legs were plainly visible!

On her head, there were a pair of cute antenna. She fixed her cute big eyes on Xu Que angrily.

"What a despicable human being! I don't want to fight with you! Just get lost! There are so many queen ants in this area! Why do you target me?" The gorgeous woman who had been the ugly Queen Ant questioned him angrily.

Xu Que was stunned and he scratched his head. Then he turned to the woman at the foot of the mountain and asked, "Young lady, can this Queen Ant take human form?"

The woman was also dumbfounded. For so many years, she had never heard that the queen ants could take human form! After all, most of those who used to see them were either killed or escaped immediately. It was impossible for them to see any human forms of the queen ants!

"Eh, sorry, it is just a misunderstanding!" Xu Que laughed lamely, but his attack with the Reincarnation Palm did not stop at all.

Seeing that, the Queen Ant was so annoyed that it almost spat blood. Then it shouted at Xu Que angrily, "Nonsense! Apparently, you acquired this palm technique from that person! In those years, the Patriarch of our tribe—the Holy Mother of Queen Ants—was the maidservant of that person! Also, you are also the one chosen by Heaven like that person! I guess you must be her cultivation companion! Why do you bully our tribe?"

"What?"

Hearing that, Xu Que raised his eyebrows and stopped his attack in shock.

The one chosen by Heaven? How could this Queen Ant know I have the Taiyi Heaven Book? Wait! Just now it said I am also the one chosen by Heaven! And it mentioned the cultivation companion!

Is it possible that…

Could it be…

The tough guy who changed the rules in this world is Xuanyuan Wanrong who is under the Celestial Burial Valley?

Holy sh*t! This is amazing! What a good opportunity to act tough!

Instantly, Xu Que threw out his chest and shouted loudly, "Humph! How dare you attack me when you know I am the cultivation companion of that person!"

"You…attacked me first! And you didn't tell me your identity just now! So I didn't know you are her cultivation companion!" The Queen Ant explained in a hurry.

Actually, when Xu Que had first appeared, it had started to doubt Xu Que's identity. When it started to fight with Xu Que, the Queen Ant sensed that Xu Que's aura was identical with that of the one chosen by Heaven. Also, Xu Que could control the Rules of Life and Death in this world. So the Queen Ant was able to basically confirm the relationship between Xu Que and that person.

However, the Queen Ant had tried to seize Xu Que's treasure. It didn't expect that it had failed to break the restrictions of the Rules of Life and Death. If Xu Que continued to use the Reincarnation Palm to earn life-span by controlling the Rules of Life and Death in this world, the Queen Ant would be killed no matter how much Vital Force it had.

"Forget it!" Xu Que waved his hands and said calmly, "No blame shall be attached to the unconscious doer of wrong! For the sake that you are quite beautiful now, I can forgive you this time!" Then Xu Que continued to say, "But you will still be punished! As a merciful man, I will just confiscate several hundred pounds of Vital Rice from you! You shall come to my room alone on this night, for I have something to discuss with you!"

"Several…hundred pounds? This is impossible!" The Queen Ant's eyes got extremely wide in shock.

At the same time, the woman at the foot of the mountain was also totally confused.

She hadn't expected this thing would be so dramatic! As a young cultivator of the Half Celestial Realm, Xu Que had seriously wounded the Queen Ant first. Now, he had even become the master of the Queen Ant and the so-called one chosen by Heaven!

What…the hell was going on?

And is this guy really such a pervert for asking the Queen Ant to go to his room alone at night! This is so horrible!

When I saw his expression in the square, I thought he was an upright gentleman! I didn't expect that even ants could not escape from his evil talons!

Puff!

Chapter 1094: I Will Try It When I Have an Opportunity!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At last, Xu Que managed to obtain all the Vital Rice from this Vital Ant nest. Together with the Vital Rice he had stolen in a hurry just now, all the Vital Rice he had now could add around 1,000 years of life-span.

Although the Queen Ant hadn't wanted to surrender the Vital Rice, it had to be cooperative because it was intimidated by his identity and his Reincarnation Palm that could control the Rules of Heaven and Earth.

"Remember! You should come to my room alone tonight for I have something important to discuss with you!" Xu Que said with a smile. Then he left with the woman.

Seeing Xu Que and the woman from behind, the Queen Ant stomped its little feet angrily. "Humph! What a despicable human being! This man is a far cry from the one chosen by Heaven in the description of our Patriarch! I will never go to your room tonight for I know your filthy plan! Apparently, you are planning to steal my life-span! I will never do that!"

Then it waved its hand to give an order to the rest of the Vital Ants, "Let's move to the western suburbs and take everything in our nests! We will join my father!"

…..

At the same time, Xu Que had left the eastern suburbs and arrived at the city of human beings.

On their way, Xu Que had obtained much information from the woman. In this city, Vital Rice was the only currency, and it could buy anything and drive all cultivators crazy! Now, Xu Que had a lot of Vital Rice, which equaled approximately 1,000 years of life-span. In this city, he was as wealthy as a leader of a medium-sized sect.

The woman was too shy to mention that safe place she had spoken of before. Xu Que could defeat the Queen Ants easily. So he had earned around 10,000 grains of Vital Rice, which equaled about 1,000 years of life-span. Her little cooperation for just 20 grains of Vital Rice was not worth speaking about!

"My fellow cultivator, let's part here! I will go on alone!" At last, the woman said good-bye to Xu Que at the gates of the city.

"OK! Please take care!" Xu Que said, nodding his head with a smile.

Even though he had 10,000 grains of Vital Rice now, it was impossible for him to give some to this woman! A beautiful face was useless now! In this city, beauty was the most useless thing. Xu Que knew he could get countless women who were even more beautiful than this one in this city with all his stash of Vital Rice.

"You are the one who should take care!" The woman replied, as she shook her head and looked at the city. "Although you are powerful, there are several powerhouses of the Earth Celestial Realm in this city. Remember! There are a lot more than one cultivator of the Earth Celestial Realm here! If they know you can control the Rules of Life and Death, they will definitely work together to deal with you. Therefore, you had better keep a low profile! Farewell!"

After saying that, the woman bowed to Xu Que and left.

Xu Que raised his eyebrows and shouted hastily, "Young lady, please wait a minute!"

"What? What can I do for you, my fellow cultivator?" The woman was surprised. She turned around.

Xu Que said with a smile, "Actually, you don't need to take a risk. I want to ask you several questions. If you answer me, I will give you 20 grains of Vital Rice as a reward. Is that OK for you?"

"Eh…" The woman was stunned.

She knew Xu Que could earn Vital Rice easily. However, when Xu Que offered a reward of 20 grains of Vital Rice, she was really surprised. For it was really a big sum, and she felt anxious about it immediately.

"Just answer…your questions?" She asked nervously.

"Of course! If I wanted you to do something else, I would offer you more Vital Rice! Don't worry!" Xu Que said with a smile.

Hearing this, the woman remembered the scene when Xu Que had asked the Queen Ant to go to his room alone tonight. She was quite terrified and replied hurriedly, "I will only answer your questions and won't do anything else!"

"OK!" Xu Que said with a smile.

Actually, he was really only kidding around for he had never planned to sleep with an ant. Otherwise, he wouldn't just ask the Queen Ant to go to his room alone in the night. He even didn't have a place to stay in the city. How could he have a room? Also, the city was heavily guarded. A Queen Ant would definitely be killed if it dared to come into the city alone.

"What do you want to know?" The woman said as she looked at Xu Que seriously. She was ready to earn 20 grains of Vital Rice to extend her younger brother's life. After all, this was really her only choice. She knew clearly that she would still be endangered if she went to that so-called safe place alone. Xu Que was trying to help her in this way so that she wouldn't think this was only charity.

"First, please tell me your story and your knowledge about the three continents in the World of Near Celestial!" Xu Que asked directly.

He had acquired some information about the World of Near Celestial from Wang Qiannian. He figured out that Wang Qiannian was quite impatient and didn't answer his questions seriously. If he could get more information from this woman, 20 grains of Vital Rice were quite a good bargain!

"I came from the Xuanhuang Continent. And I used to be a Master in the Lihuo Academy…" The woman started to narrate her identity and history without any hesitation. Her name was Lan Xinyue, and she was a Master in a second-grade academy. A second-grade academy was an academy that was inferior to the Dongsheng Academy, the Ivy Academy, and the Jiuhe Academy.

In the Xuanhuang Continent, there were only three first-grade academies, more than 100 second-grade academies, and even more third-grade academies. The standard to rate academies was their number of powerhouses at the Earth Celestial Realm.

In a first-grade academy, there would be at least one powerhouse at the Later Stage of the Earth Celestial Realm and ten powerhouses at the Initial Stage of the Earth Celestial Realm, including the head of the academy. Also, there would be more than 100 powerhouses at the Human Celestial Realm in the academy to act as the Masters or Teachers.

This was just like the organizational structure of most sects. The academies' structures were more scientific. The division of the faculty was more specific. The Masters were responsible for the courses that they were good at, including cultivation, alchemy, spells, and Arrays, as well as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, etc. In this way, they could ensure the all-round development of their apprentices and cultivate elite talents for the Xuanhuang Continent.

When these apprentices graduated from the academy, they would stay in the academy to act as Masters or go on to the big sects. Every year, a fixed number of excellent graduates would be sent to the Earth Continent, which was superior to the Xuanhuang Continent. In this way, the academies could solidify their positions by spreading their influence to every corner of the world.

Lan Xinyue used to be an apprentice in the Lihuo Academy. She was not very gifted. When she reached the Human Celestial Realm, she stayed in the academy to act as a Master. In this way, she could enjoy the protection of the academy, and she could take care of her younger brother who had just reached the Half Celestial Realm!

To Xu Que's surprise, Lan Xinyue taught painting in the academy.

"I didn't imagine you were a painter!" Xu Que was surprised.

"One can reach the Celestial realm through all kinds of fields. Music, chess, calligraphy, and painting are quite important in the World of Near Celestial. And they are almost as difficult as the alchemy and spell Arrays! My paints contain Taoist Connotation, which could be used to help others in Tao Comprehension so that they could break their bottlenecks in cultivation," Lan Xinyue said.

"Are your paints also effective for you?" Xu Que said with a smile.

"Of course! At least I could earn Spiritual Crystal with them. My fellow cultivator, don't underestimate the art of painting. This is quite a profound Tao. It is said that a Painting Celestial in the World of Near Celestial used to obtain Celestial Artifacts from his paintings. He integrated the process of making Celestial Artifacts into his paintings, including the materials and heat control of flames. In this way, he could make something out of nothing!" Lan Xinyue replied.

Xu Que raised his eyebrows immediately. Make something out of nothing with only a brush and a piece of paper? Isn't it Ma Liang who has a magical brush?

"Awesome! I will try it when I have an opportunity!" Xu Que said with a smile.

If he decided to learn the art of painting, he would study the structure of the human body from the cell level first! Then he could create those beautiful Japanese AV "teachers" who used to teach him the "mysterious knowledge" when he was young!

"Oh? My fellow cultivator, are you interested in becoming a painter?" Lan Xinyue asked curiously.

She knew Xu Que's bone age was definitely lower than 100 years. Thanks to his extraordinary talents, he could become a powerful cultivator at the Half Celestial Realm at such a young age. If he could also become a painter, his extraordinary talents could definitely benefit this field!

"No!" Xu Que shook his head. Then he said with an ambiguous smile, "I want to be an insert painter!"

"An inset painter?" Lan Xinyue was confused, as she had never heard of such a title before.

"Forget it! Please continue your introduction of the World of Near Celestial. By the way, have you heard of the Jade Lake before?" Xu Que said, changing the topic.

After all, as a modest, innocent, and pure man, he should always keep his heart clean. How could he tell Lan Xinyue that the inset she thought he was talking about was really insert, which was what she made him think about?

…..

Chapter 1095: Let My Younger Brother Go!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"The Jade Lake? I guess you are talking about a sect which is not in the Xuanhuang Continent. Although I used to stay in the Xuanhuang Continent for many years, I didn't have the chance to know something about the Earth Continent and the Heaven Continent. So, I can't help you with this! Also, you could find someone comes from the 3 academies. They have some cultivation lands, which could be used to contact people from the other 2 continents. Maybe they could have more information about that!"

After saying that, Lan Xinyue shook her head and said with a wry smile, "But it is impossible for people from the 3 academies to come down to a place like this…"

"Come down to? How did you come to this place?" Xu Que asked curiously.

Now, he was basically sure that the Jade Lake was not a sect in the Xuanhuang Continent.

When he said he knew the Holy Virgin of the Jade Lake very well in front of people of the 3 academies, they were all shocked. But Lan Xinyue and Wang Qiannian knew nothing about the Jade Lake. Apparently, the Jade Lake was not in the Xuanhuang Continent!

When he saw Lan Xinyue's expression, he was quite curious about how they came to this place. It seemed they had been trapped here and were not able to leave.

"I don't know the story of others. I came here to find my younger brother. 5 years ago, he came out to gain experience together with his classmates in the Lihuo Academy. They offended some people, who chased them to the lost forbidden place of the Xuanhuang Continent. Nobody in the Xuanhuang Continent dares to approach that place. When I knew they were trapped in that forbidden place, I came to find them. I didn't expect we were teleported to this place when we entered that forbidden place!" Lan Xinyue said in a low voice.

"As you said, you've stayed in this place for 5 years! Haven't you found a way to leave here?" Xu Que asked.

Lan Xinyue was stunned by his question. A strand of despair appeared in her eyes. She said by shaking her head, "It is so difficult to survive in this place, let alone run away from it! My fellow cultivator, actually, I want to tell you something, but I don't know whether it is appropriate!"

"Since you've said in this way, please tell me!" Xu Que said by rolling his eyes.

Lan Xinyue said in a low voice with her lips closed, "What I want to say is that just stop asking about the Jade Lake! Even you really find some information about it, it is impossible for you to leave here! You should have heard that the Heaven Alliance is the largest sect in this place. But you don't know their leader Li Tianxun, who is a powerhouse at the Medium Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage, has been trapped in this place for over 3,000 years!"

After saying that, Lan Xinyue lowered her voice again, "Except for those who have died, he is the most senior one among people trapped in this place! Even he is not able to leave here, what could we do?"

"Not really! In fact, leaving here is never a problem, which just needs some time and your cooperation!" Xu Que said with a smile.

If he couldn't find an exit in this place, he had to use the Space Breaking Spell!

When he was in the eastern suburbs, he found there was no Void Interface Point in this place. So, he had to set up the Void Interface Spell. However, he didn't have that spell now. So, he had to obtain it through lucky draw!

When could he get one through lucky draw? It was hard to say!

So, now he needed a lot of Act Tough Points to perform the lucky draw until he could get that spell from it!

Even he had a Void Interface Spell, he had to ask Lan Xinyue to use it. After all, the Space Breaking Spell could only take the user to a place where the user had gone before. Xu Que had never gone to the World of Near Celestial before. So, if he wanted to leave here, he had to ask Lan Xinyue to take him to the Xuanhuang Continent.

"My fellow cultivator, you…you said you know how to leave here, right?" Lan Xinyue changed her expression in disbelief.

Although she had stayed in this place for only 5 years, she was told by others that nobody could leave here. Now, Xu Que said he was able to leave this place. How could she stay calm?

The point was that Xu Que said that casually. It seemed he was not kidding but was quite confident about it. And he didn't worry about he could be trapped here forever!

"Trust me! It is quite easy to leave here. What we need is only some time. And I will need your help then! However, I hope you could keep silent now. When the moment is ripe, I will tell you!" Xu Que said with a mysterious smile.

In this way, Xu Que earned several thousand Act Tough Points from Lan Xinyue who was totally shocked.

After that, Lan Xinyue received 20 grains of Vital Rice from Xu Que. Then, she hurried back to the city to elongate his younger brother's life.

Xu Que, who was new here, had nowhere to go. So, he chose to follow Lan Xinyue.

On the way, he got more information about the World of Near Celestial from Lan Xinyue.

Originally, he thought the 3 continents of the World of Near Celestial were very far away from each other, which was just like the Four Great Continents.

But Lan Xinyue told him the 3 continents of the World of Near Celestial were not in the same level. One could only go up to the other 2 continents through a special channel!

Why was the term "go up" used here? Because the 3 continents were distributed vertically!

The Earth Continent was just above the Xuanhuang Continent. People on the Xuanhuang Continent were not able to see the Earth Continent with naked eyes. It was said that one could only reach the Earth Continent by flying through the sky! In the same way, the Heaven Continent was above the Earth Continent.

In other words, this was a world with 3 levels. The lowest level was the Xuanhuang Continent. The Earth Continent was in the middle level. The Heaven Continent was in the highest level!

Of course, if this abandoned world was also considered, there would be 4 levels in the World of Near Celestials! And this shabby place would definitely be the lowest level.

After hearing that, Xu Que was dumbfounded.

Apparently, he underestimated the World of Near Celestial. There were still a lot of things for him to know in this world, which would shock and stun him again and again!

"My fellow cultivator, it occurs to me that…"

Lan Xinyue stopped and said at this time.

Before she finished her words, she looked to the front and changed her expression abruptly. Then, she shouted in surprise, "What are you doing? Let my younger brother go!"

Whoosh!

Lan Xinyue dashed forward immediately.

At this time, Xu Que saw an emaciated man at the Human Celestial Stage was being dragged out by several men at the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage from a small hostel.

Several young men and women at the Initial Stage of the Half Celestial Stage walked out of the hostel anxiously. It seemed they were companions of that emaciated man. They didn't dare to stop those men.

When Lan Xinyue shouted and rushed up to him, the emaciated man changed his expression and shouted by straining every nerve, "Sister, don't come closer! Anyway, I will die tomorrow! Just leave me to them!"

"Shut up!" Lan Xinyue landed on the ground as she stared at the emaciated man.

Then, she turned to those men at the Human Celestial Stage and asked seriously, "My fellow cultivators, what do you mean by doing this? I don't remember we used to offend your Sword Pavilion before!"

…

…

Chapter 1096: A Daylight Robbery

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Humph! Lan Xinyue, your younger brother Lan Hetu was caught red-handed when he tried to steal 10 grains of Vital Rice from our Young Master. Our Young Master asked us to take him back for punishment. If you have something to say, just go to our Young Master and tell him directly. Now, he is waiting for you in your room!"

A man at the Human Celestial Stage whose eyes were full of sarcasm said as he looked at Lan Xinyue coldly.

"Bullshit! You placed the Vital Rice outside the door of my room. When I tried to pick them up, you rushed up to capture me and frame me for stealing!"

Lan Hetu shouted angrily, "Sister, their Young Master Liu Wenfeng coverts your beauty. Last time, you rejected him. So, he tried to force you to be with him in this way. Don't be fooled by him. I will die tomorrow anyway. Just leave me to them!"

"Liu Wenfeng!"

Lan Xinyue murmured this name. Then, she trembled a bit as she looked up at the second floor of the hostel.

At this time, a young man with a delicate complexion was smiling at her sarcastically as he sat by the window.

Lan Xinyue stared at him and shouted angrily, "Liu Wenfeng, you said my younger brother stole 10 grains of Vital Rice from you. I will return 10 grains of Vital Rice to you! OK?"

"Heh-heh, that's not enough!" Liu Wenfeng said with a smile as he shook his head, "Ms. Lan, as you said, if anyone who steal things from our Sword Pavilion and return the stolen goods to us later, we should pretend that nothing is happened, right?"

"Then, what do you want?" Lan Xinyue asked in a shaky voice.

Actually, she knew the answer in her mind.

"What do I want? You come upstairs and let's have a talk. Then, you'll know what I want!" Liu Wenfeng replied with a laughter. Then, he stood up and said to his underlings, "What are you waiting for? Get this guy back and I'll punish him tomorrow!"

"As you wish!" Those men of the Sword Pavilion replied. Then, they dragged Lan Hetu out of the hostel.

"Stop! You…you are outrageous!" Lan Xinyue shouted as she ran out to chase those men.

However, those men of the Sword Pavilion ignored her. They jumped up into the sky by dragging Lan Hetu with them and were about to leave.

Bang!

Suddenly, a figure rushed up and bumped those men heavily.

Those men were knocked down to the ground together with Lan Hetu. All of them felt lightheaded.

Apparently, this bump was quite violent!

"My fellow cultivator!"

Lan Xinyue rushed up and was shocked by what she saw.

Because that figure was Xu Que.

After bumping those men, Xu Que, who was unscratched, just stood there with a smile.

Now, this place was full of onlookers, including those who used to meet Xu Que on the square. One of them was Wang Qiannian from the Generosity Sect!

Now, he was quite shocked as he shook his head slightly.

"Wang Qiannian, you know this guy? I haven't met him before!" A young girl, who was standing beside Wang Qiannian, noticed his expression and couldn't help but ask.

Wang Qiannian replied with a reverent smile, "My lady, this guy is quite weird. He rose immortally to this place this morning. I found he has just reached the Half Celestial Stage and didn't hire him!"

"He rose immortally to this place?" The young girl was surprised for nobody used to rise immortally to this place before.

"Yes! But this guy is unsophisticated. He is gentle and graceful. So, I told him to earn Vital Rice by having sex with the women in the streets. I didn't expect he despised that very much. At that time, I knew this guy is a righteous young man. As expected, he is trying to help the weak now!"

After that, a strand of pity appeared in Wang Qiannian's face.

Cultivators at the Half Celestial Stage like Xu Que were the weakest people in this world. He didn't expect Xu Que could jump out to make troubles, which was suicidal!

"How dare you!"

At the same time, those men of the Sword Pavilion stood up from the ground and shouted as they stared at Xu Que angrily, "You…"

"You son of a bitch! Don't you have eyes? Didn't you see I was coming" Before those men finished their words, Xu Que cursed angrily, "This is outrageous! How dare you bump me in the broad daylight! Look at my handsome face! Damn! You can't afford to pay for my loss if you ruin my face!"

Instantly, all the rest people in this area were shocked.

Lan Xinyue widened her eyes.

Wang Qiannian was dumbfounded on the spot.

Xu Que was cursing shamelessly as if he was wounded during the bump, which stunned the onlookers completely.

Even the young girl couldn't stop but glance at Wang Qiannian.

So, this is your gentle, graceful and righteous young man, right?

He is absolutely a rascal!

At this time, anger disappeared from Xu Que's face. He pointed his finger at those men of the Sword Pavilion and said calmly, "OK, I don't want to hear your explanation! Just give me 1000 grains of Vital Rice, so that I could get over this shock! As for the compensation of my mental anguish, we can talk about it later!"

1000 grains of Vital Rice? Help you to get over a shock?

Instantly, those men of the Sword Pavilion were more stunned.

The rest people in this area were even more dumbfounded.

Has he lost his mind?

He made unfounded counter charges and even tries to extort those men!

Some onlookers knew why Xu Que did that.

He did that to pay the Sword Pavilion back in the same coin of extortion.

The point was that Xu Que's extortion was quite casual, which was more like a daylight robbery!

"You are seeking death!"

At last, those men of the Sword Pavilion came to themselves. Then, they started to attack Xu Que with magnificent Spiritual Qi.

"Hey! Hey! You don't want to compensate me after bumping me! Now, you are going to silence me by killing me, right? You are totally outrageous!" Xu Que said with a wicked smile. Meanwhile, he dodged those men's attack with the Three Thousand Volts Lightning by stepping on the magnificent lightnings.

After all, those men of the Sword Pavilion were at the Human Celestial Stage! Even they were just at the Initial Stage, Xu Que didn't dare to have a head-on collision with them!

But it didn't mean he wouldn't fight back!

Boom!

Xu Que made a circle with his 2 palms. A cloud of thin Lifeless Qi appeared in his palms. Then, he smashed down his Dark Heavy Buster Sword!

A strand of black Lifeless Qi dashed forward together with the formless air waves.

"Insignificant skill!" Those men of the Sword Pavilion sneered as they placed their arms in front of their body to defend Xu Que's attack directly.

For them, Xu Que's attack with his Dark Heavy Buster Sword was useless. After all, he was just at the Half Celestial Stage, who couldn't rival them at all!

It would be a humiliation for a powerhouse at the Human Celestial Stage who couldn't defend the magic art of a cultivator at the Half Celestial Stage!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Along with several dull sounds, the air waves created by the Dark Heavy Buster Sword landed on the arms of the men of the Sword Pavilion.

They were pushed back for several steps but were not wounded at all.

"Humph! How dare you act recklessly when you are so incompetent?" Those men of the Sword Pavilion snorted immediately.

However, all of them and the onlookers in this area didn't know Xu Que's Lifeless Qi had gone into their body when the air waves landed on their arms.

Heh-heh, this is interesting! I didn't expect it could work! After a short while, a strand of smile appeared in Xu Que's face.

He launched a fake attack with his Dark Heavy Buster Sword. Actually, he tried to check whether he could obtain life-span by injecting the Lifeless Qi into the body of these people.

After all, he had just tested the Reincarnation Palm on that queen ant. As a result, he obtained a lot of life-span. According to the rules of scientific research, without human subject research, a research should not be deemed as successful!

So, Xu Que decided to take this opportunity to check whether the Reincarnation Palm was still be effective upon human being!

Now, he had reached a conclusion that the Reincarnation Palm was effective on human being and Vital Ants!

Therefore, the conclusion was he had obtained an ace card to deal with the cultivators at the Earth Celestial Stage!

So…it is time to show off the real skill of acting tough!

"Come forth, my Firestorm Wheels!

Come forth, my broken sword and Sword Spirit!"

Chapter 1097: What an Ostentatious Guy!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Boom!

Along with the deafening sound of wind, fire and thunder, Xu Que took out his broken sword as he jumped up into the sky by stepping on his Firestorm Wheels.

Like a ghost, his speed was so fast that only the noise created by him could be heard but it was very difficult to track him in the sky.

"Celestial Artifacts?"

"This guy has 2 Celestial Artifacts!"

"Oh, no! Retreat!"

Instantly, those men of the Sword Pavilion changed their expression and retreated rapidly.

They were not idiots. When they saw Xu Que's Celestial Artifacts, they knew the strength gap between them and Xu Que had been reduced.

They might look down upon a cultivator at the Half Celestial Stage. However, a cultivator at the Half Celestial Stage who had 2 Celestial Artifacts would impose substantial threats to them!

Moreover, almost no cultivator in this world could use 2 Celestial Artifacts at the same time easily!

Except for those most talented geniuses, it was absolutely impossible for ordinary cultivators!

"My God! The metallic wheels below his feet are Low-grade Celestial Artifacts!"

"The broken sword in his hand is more horrible! I guess it is at least a Middle-grade Celestial Artifact!"

Immediately, the onlookers started to talk about Xu Que in terror!

None of them expected a young cultivator who had just risen immortally to this place could be so wealthy!

"This guy…Damn! I misjudged him!" Wang Qiannian was totally shocked. If he knew Xu Que had 2 Celestial Artifacts, he would never send Xu Que away. On the contrary, he would invite Xu Que to join his sect and tried to coax away 1 of Xu Que's Celestial Artifacts!

At the same time, Liu Wenfeng, the Young Master of the Sword Pavilion, stood up on the 2nd floor of the hostel. His face was full of pleasant surprise.

Although he had obtained a Celestial Artifact, it was just an Inferior Celestial Artifact, which was far inferior to Xu Que's equipment.

He was at the Human Celestial Stage. If he could obtain a Middle-grade Celestial Artifact, he would be as powerful as a cultivator at the Earth Celestial Stage, which could enhance the strength of the Sword Pavilion remarkably.

"Nobody is allowed to retreat! This guy stole Celestial Artifacts from our Sword Pavilion! Those who could capture him will have 50 grains of Vital Rice as reward!" Liu Wenfeng shouted immediately.

He knew the other sects would also cast greedy eyes on Xu Que's Celestial Artifacts. So, he announced Xu Que's Celestial Artifacts were stolen from the Sword Pavilion directly. Then, he could take those Celestial Artifacts away from Xu Que reasonably.

"I stole your Celestial Artifacts? Hah-hah, interesting!" Xu Que laughed loudly for Liu Wenfeng's frame-up had no technical content at all!

He took out several hundred grains of Vital Rice from his crotch and shouted, "Guys, this Liu Wenfeng sneaked into my pigpen last night and raped the old sow I have raised for 3 years! He is a pervert! Those who could capture him will have 600 grains of Vital Rice as reward!"

Gasp!

Instantly, all people in this area couldn't help but gasp.

They didn't believe Liu Wenfeng could rape a sow. They were shocked by Xu Que's huge reward!

It was quite ostentatious for Liu Wenfeng to give a reward of 50 grains of Vital Rice. They didn't expect Xu Que could throw out 600 grains of Vital Rice directly! What an ostentatious fat cat!

"How could this be? He…he has just stayed in this world for 1 day! How could he have so many Vital Rice?" Wang Qiannian was totally shocked again.

He guessed Xu Que could have so many Vital Rice because Xu Que had found a big secret. But he stopped Xu Que from joining the Generosity Sect. If the leader of his sect knew this, he would definitely be severely punished!

At the thought of this, Wang Qiannian's forehead was covered by cold sweat.

On the 2nd floor of the hostel, Liu Wenfeng was quite angry. He thought his reward of 50 grains of Vital Rice was attractive enough. However, Xu Que slapped his face by throwing out 600 grains of Vital Rice directly! It was absolutely a humiliation for him!

"Humph! Do you think someone could attack the Sword Pavilion for just 600 grains of Vital Rice? You are daydreaming!" Liu Wenfeng snorted as he stared at Xu Que with his eyes which were full of kill intent.

Xu Que said nothing but stood in the air by stepping on the Firestorm Wheels with a calm smile.

He didn't worry the exposure of his Celestial Artifacts and Vital Rice for he was sure the Reincarnation Palm was also effective on human being, which meant he had obtained an ace card in this world.

Thanks to the Rules of Heaven and Earth in this world, the Reincarnation Palm had become a horrible magic art here. The Reincarnation Palm would not be so powerful in other worlds. However, he had controlled the life and death in this world. He believed he could defeat 1 or 2 powerhouses at the Earth Celestial Stage directly.

Therefore, Xu Que was quite calm at this moment. So, he started to act tough with safety.

"Hmm, what you said is right! 600 grains of Vital Rice are not enough! How about 6,000 grains of Vital Rice?"

Xu Que said with a smile. Meanwhile, he waved his hand to take out several thousand grains of Vital Rice. Then, he shouted, "Anyone who can cut off Liu Wenfeng's head and dick will get 6,000 grains of Vital Rice from the Exploding Heavens Faction as reward!"

Boom!

Instantly, his words shocked all people in this area, who were not able to keep calm anymore.

6,000 grains of Vital Rice?

Even the Sword Pavilion is not able to take out so many Vital Rice all at once!

Where the hell did this guy find so many Vital Rice?

"F*ck!" Wang Qiannian shouted in surprise and almost spat blood. He knew he would really be severely punished.

"Hey! What are you waiting for? Do you think 6,000 grains of Vital Rice are still not enough? OK! OK! These Vital Rice are nothing for the Exploding Heavens Faction! This is the final value! 10,000 grains of Vital Rice! Those who could cut off Liu Wenfeng's head and dick will have 10,000 grains of Vital Rice as reward!" Xu Que increased the reward again as he took out all Vital Rice he had.

All Vital Rice he extorted from the queen ant were here!

The onlookers believed he should have numerous Vital Rice according to his tone.

At this moment, all people in this area were totally dumbfounded.

This was unprecedented for nobody would offer so many Vital Rice as a reward to get one person's life!

In fact, a lot of people, who were attracted by the reward, were about to take action.

To earn 10,000 grains of Vital Rice by killing the Young Master of the Sword Pavilion was a profitable business for them, even they would start a feud with the Sword Pavilion.

"Young Master, please leave here immediately!" Those men of the Sword Pavilion, who had gone back to the hostel, said seriously.

Liu Wenfeng was also quite worried. He knew he had become the target of countless people here. One moment ago, he still acted unscrupulously. Now, he had become a rat crossing the street!

He never expected Lan Xinyue could find such a wealthy companion. The point was that this guy was just at the Half Celestial Stage, but he acted ostentatiously and said he was from the Exploding Heavens Faction!

Liu Wenfeng had stayed in this world for so many years. But he had never heard of a sect of which the name was Exploding Heavens Faction!

"Humph! Lan Xinyue, you and your younger brother are quite lucky today! Retreat!"

At last, Liu Wenfeng decided to give up.

He didn't want to risk his life for just one woman!

Moreover, he could find more opportunities to seek revenge in future!

He thought Xu Que would definitely be killed after exposing his secrets like the Celestial Artifacts and the Vital Rice. He would kill Xu Que in future. Then, Lan Xinyue would still be subdued by him.

Whoosh!

Along with a dull sound, Liu Wenfeng dashed out from the hostel and landed among his underlings.

Then, they started to walk back vigilantly.

Lan Xinyue let out a sigh of relief. She rushed up and held Lan Hetu in her arms. Then, she looked at Xu Que in a grateful but worried way.

She was a smart woman and knew clearly that Xu Que wouldn't survive in this world if he always acted arrogantly like this!

The rest people in this area didn't move. Since Liu Wenfeng decided to retreat, they didn't dare to attack him. After all, Xu Que would also make concessions to avoid trouble. If they killed Liu Wenfeng, nobody would guarantee they could get 10,000 grains of Vital Rice from Xu Que!

If this guy refused to offer the reward, they would throw the helve after the hatchet!

"What? Who told you that you can go now?"

Just at this time, Xu Que said as he looked at Liu Wenfeng and his underlings coldly.

Liu Wenfeng was annoyed immediately. He shouted angrily, "Bastard! Don't try to reach out for a yard after taking an inch! What else do you want?"

"Nothing! Just your life! Since nobody wants to kill you, I have to do it myself!"

Xu Que said with a smile. Then, along with a deafening sound created by his Firestorm Wheels, Xu Que disappeared on the spot!

The next moment, the entire area was filled with magnificent kill intent!

Swash!

After that, along with a crisp sound, a man at the Human Celestial Stage, who was standing in front of Liu Wenfeng, was cut into 2 halves by a broken sword. His fresh blood started to splash.

Instantly, all onlookers were totally shocked.

This guy…really starts to kill them!

Chapter 1098: This Guy is so Powerful!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"He killed a powerhouse at the Human Celestial Stage with 1 sword!"

"How…could this be?"

"A Middle-grade Celestial Artifact! That broken sword must be a Middle-grade Celestial Artifact! Otherwise, he can't kill that people so quickly!"

"No way! This guy has just reached the Half Celestial Stage. How could he control a Low-grade Celestial Artifact and a Middle-grade Celestial Artifact at the same time?"

"Could it be that he is one of the mysterious geniuses in the Heavenly Tripod List of the Xuanhuang Continent?"

"I don't think so! He rose immortally to this place!"

"Nonsense! He definitely lied to us! All of us know this place has been abandoned for a long time. How could someone rise immortally to this place?"

The onlookers were talking about this issue in disbelief.

Xu Que's attack totally shocked them. Most people in this area were at the Human Celestial Stage. If Xu Que could kill a powerhouse at the Human Celestial Stage easily, he could also kill any of them easily!

The point was that this guy was so powerful that he could control 2 Celestial Artifacts at the same time!

Even an ordinary powerhouse at the Human Celestial Stage couldn't do that easily!

"How…dare you kill people of the Sword Pavilion?" Liu Wenfeng widened his eyes and stared at Xu Que in shock!

"Why can't I do that? Nothing could intimidate members of the Exploding Heavens Faction! We just fight by underweighting the life and death! I did that because you've annoyed me!" Xu Que said with a cold smile as he raised his arm and pointed at Liu Wenfeng and his underlings. Then, he shouted coldly, "From now on, your sect will be replaced by the Exploding Heavens Faction!"

Boom!

The next moment, along with the deafening sound created by the Firestorm Wheels, Xu Que disappeared again!

"Oh, no!" Liu Wenfeng and his underlings changed their expression and started to protect themselves with defensive magic arts!

Swash!

A man of the Sword Pavilion just gave a play of his magic art. The broken sword appeared above his head. Then, it was smashed down heavily.

That man was cut into 2 halves and fell to the ground!

"Bastard! You…do you know my father is a powerhouse at the Initial Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage?" Liu Wenfeng turned pale immediately for he had never sensed the smell of death in such a close distance.

He used to be fearless in this fallen place. He wouldn't offend other sects easily. But he always bullied those who didn't have backers!

Now, he was so nervous for a cultivator at the Half Celestial Stage was threatening his life.

"Your father has reached the Initial Stage of the Earth Celestial Stage? Heh-heh, how useless he is! One of my concubines is the owner of this place!"

Xu Que said with a disdainful smile.

In the sky, people could only hear his voice but were not able to track him at all!

However, nobody took his words seriously for nobody knew the owner of this place! They only knew it was a powerhouse who lived in an era which was tens of thousands of years ago. How could Xu Que know that guy? How could she be Xu Que's concubine? Are you kidding?

Nobody believed Xu Que except Lan Xinyue!

A queen ant told her Xu Que's identity. Now, Lan Xinyue, who was shocked, realized something!

After all, if Xu Que's identity was true, nobody in this place dared to offend him. He could be so arrogant because he had a powerful backer!

At the thought of this, Lan Xinyue let out a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know why Xu Que appeared alone, she knew Xu Que should have more measures according to his style. Normal people would never act like that!

The point was that he didn't know Xu Que was not a normal people at all!

This guy would always act tough regardless of the consequence as long as his life wouldn't be ended soon.

F*ck the Sword Pavilion! F*ck the Earth Celestial Stage!

I will just kill them when I can!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Along with the deafening sound of the Firestorm Wheels in the sky, Liu Wenfeng's guards were killed one after another!

They tried to fight back and protect themselves with powerful magic arts. However, nothing could stop Xu Que from killing them!

If Xu Que hadn't reached the Half Celestial Stage, he would turn away and run when he came across those men.

Now, his strength had been enhanced remarkably. As a cultivator at the Half Celestial Stage, he could defeat several powerhouses at the Human Celestial Stage easily with the assistance of 2 Celestial Artifacts!

"I'll kill you!"

At last, Liu Wenfeng shouted angrily as he took out an Inferior Celestial Artifact. It was a headless black halberd, which was just like a rod with a broken end. It seemed the halberd had a long history.

He didn't want to take it out easily because this broken long halberd, which was made of a special material, had an extraordinary history. He worried someone would rob it from him. All people who used to see this halberd had been killed by him. Now, he was not able to kill so many people in this area.

He knew his life was endangered. So, he decided to use it now.

Although Xu Que's strength had been enhanced by the 2 Celestial Artifacts remarkably, Liu Wenfeng believed he could rival Xu Que with the help of his Celestial Artifact.

Boom!

Liu Wenfeng waved the broken long halberd, which distorted the Void and made a dull sound.

"What?" Xu Que changed his expression abruptly.

He had also sensed the strength of that broken long halberd for his broken sword also sensed the pressure from the halberd. The point was that that rod was giving off violent Terrifying Spiritual Qi as if something was being locked in the rod and could burst out at any time!

Clang!

The rod collided with the broken sword, which created an ear-piercing sound and many sparkles.

Crack! Fractures appeared in the broken sword directly. Xu Que was even knocked back as he spat out fresh blood. His hand which held the sword was torn apart and bleeding seriously.

More ominous still, all his vital organs were wounded by the impact and he even felt a gust of horrible chilly energy was eroding his body.

He would have fallen to the ground if he didn't have the support of the System's Automatic Recovery Function!

The Terrifying Spiritual Qi from the ancient times! Xu Que was totally shocked.

He was so familiar with the Terrifying Spiritual Qi.

Because of the Terrifying Spiritual Qi, he was not able to reach the Void Training Stage. So, he had to give his cultivation achievements to his Taoist Body together with his Terrifying Spiritual Qi. Then, he restarted the cultivation from 0. After reaching the Form Synthesis Stage, he merged with his Taoist Body and cleansed the Terrifying Spiritual Qi in his body. Now, his Taoist Body had become his Little Gold Clone which was staying between his eyes.

Now, he sensed a gust of more powerful Terrifying Spiritual Qi in this broken long halberd, which was more intense than his Terrifying Spiritual Qi in those years for several thousand times!

In front of this broken long halberd, his Terrifying Spiritual Qi was just like a drop of water which could be negligible in a sea.

"You..you are still alive? How could this be?"

At the same time, Liu Wenfeng was also shocked in disbelief.

This broken long halberd was his ace card. Although it was just an Inferior Celestial Artifact, its effect was quite weird and horrible, which made him invincible among his peers.

He could kill a cultivator at the Human Celestial Stage or the Half Celestial Stage with 1 stroke. His opponent would always be frozen and shattered on the spot.

However, this long halberd would lose efficiency when he had to confront a cultivator at the Earth Celestial Stage. He used to have a friendly competition with his father. The long halberd was no longer that powerful. But his father also failed to make a scratch on the long halberd with his Low-grade Celestial Artifact.

Therefore, he was sure this long halberd was extraordinary. It was highly possible that the material which was used to make this halberd was the long-lost Purple Sky Age Metal recorded in the ancient books.

But he failed to kill a cultivator at the Half Celestial Stage with this long halberd, which was totally unacceptable for him!

"Heh, you want to kill me? That's impossible!" Xu Que, whose wounds had been healed rapidly with the help of the System's Automatic Recovery Function, said with a smile. Then, he looked at his broken sword and said by shaking his head, "But…I didn't expect you could create a fracture on my sword! It seems you have to compensate me with the black rod in your hands!"

After saying that, Xu Que raised his broken sword and dashed towards Liu Wenfeng by stepping on the Firestorm Wheels again.

This time, he didn't dare to underestimate Liu Wenfeng anymore. The deafening sound of the Firestorm Wheels meant he was almost as fast as a powerhouse at the Earth Celestial Stage!

Boom!

The noise created by the Firestorm Wheels was echoing in this area, which was filled with Xu Que's magnificent kill intent. Now, his speed was so fast that nobody could track him in the sky anymore.

Liu Wenfeng was waving the broken long halberd seriously. Although he failed to kill Xu Que with 1 stroke, he knew the long halberd was more powerful than he imagined, which even damaged Xu Que's broken sword. So, he believed he could use it to protect him from Xu Que's attacks.

However, he was dumbfounded soon.

Countless Vital Energy and Lifeless Qi gathered in the sky. The Yin and Yang were merging with each other.

The next moment, a strand of lifeless black light descended and rushed into his chest along the long halberd.

Puff!!

Instantly, Liu Wenfeng turned pale and spat blood. He was totally terrified.

The Rules of Life and Death?

Are these the Rules of Life and Death in this world? It can deprive people's life-span!

No! That's impossible!

How could a young cultivator at the Half Celestial Stage know this magic art?

Does it mean this guy is really related to the owner of this world?

At the thought of this, Liu Wenfeng looked up and tried to say he had discovered a secret.

He believed all people in this area would attack Xu Que if he revealed this secret. After all, nobody could resist the tempt of controlling the rules of life and death in a world!

"He…"

However, when Liu Wenfeng just uttered one word, a gust of violent wind swept past his head.

A broken sword appeared and was smashed down like a strand of light.

Swash!

Along with a dull sound, Liu Wenfeng was cut into 2 halves. Then, his body fell in 2 direction and his face was till full of surprised expression.

The entire street was dropped into a dead silence instantly.

All onlookers were dumbfounded as they looked at the dead body of Liu Wenfeng and his underlings as well as Xu Que who was still standing in a pool of blood. Now, only 1 thought was echoing in their mind – This guy…is so powerful!

Chapter 1099: What a Unique and Extraordinary Rod!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Whoosh!

Liu Wenfeng's broken long halberd appeared in Xu Que's hand.

At this time, the onlookers came to themselves and started to look at Xu Que in terror.

They believed Liu Wenfeng was killed by Xu Que's broken sword.

As a matter of fact, Xu Que reversed the tide by hitting Liu Wenfeng with the Lifeless Qi. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult for him to kill Liu Wenfeng.

Now, the long halberd was in his hand. Xu Que erased Liu Wenfeng's remnant Mind Sense on the halberd before throwing it into the System package.

At the same time, Xu Que put away the storage rings of the guys he killed just now on the ground.

His proficient action in cleaning up the battlefield shocked the onlookers.

Apparently, this was not the first time for him to do so!

However, Xu Que was not happy at this time.

After killing several powerhouses at the Human Celestial Stage, he didn't earn any Experience Point at all!

At the beginning, he thought these dead bodies were created by those guys' magic arts or just replicas. However, when he found what he killed were not replicas but real bodies, he didn't find any newly-earned Experience Points at all.

What's going on?

Is something wrong with the System?

Xu Que frowned immediately. But he didn't check the System. After all, the current situation was still quite dangerous for most onlookers were casting greedy eyes on his Vital Rice and Celestial Artifacts at this moment.

If he didn't reveal his horrible strength just now, these onlookers would have attacked him together.

"Humph! The Sword Pavilion is just a piece of shit, which was defeated by only 1 member of the Exploding Heavens Faction!" At last, Xu Que stepped out as he sneered at the dead bodies on the ground. Then, he ignored the onlookers and stepped into the hostel after winking at Lan Xinyue.

Lan Xinyue figured out Xu Que's intention. Then, she lifted Lan Hetu on his feet and went into the hostel together with the rest young men and woman at the Half Celestial Stage.

The onlookers on the street hesitated but didn't dare to attack at last.

On the one hand, they were intimidated by Xu Que's strength; on the other hand, Xu Que went into the hostel and didn't leave here. They didn't need to attack Xu Que in a hurry.

Xu Que also knew that. So, he didn't leave here directly but chose to walk into the hostel fair and square.

At present, he tried to avoid head-on collisions with a lot of opponents because his wounds hadn't been fully healed. Although the System's Automatic Recovery Function was quite efficient, it was still not as fast as he imagined.

Then, his broken sword had been damaged and could be smashed if it was hit by other powerful Celestial Artifacts again. So, he had to take a break now.

Of course, the most important fact was the System!

He could always earn Experience Points when he killed cultivators at the Half Celestial Stage and the Human Celestial Stage before. However, he failed to earn any Experience Points after killing these cultivators at the Human Celestial Stage this time.

Xu Que doubted something wrong happened in the System. What if he couldn't earn any Experience Points when he killed a lot of people later? It would be a great loss for him!

Now, he decided to solve this problem.

After coming into the hostel, Xu Que summoned the System immediately.

System, answer me! Why didn't I earn any Experience Points just now? Now, you should pay me the Experience Points I earned just now and my mental damage compensation! Xu Que shouted in his heart.

The System replied calmly, "The Host has reached the Half Celestial Stage and is no longer a newbie anymore. The System won't provide the Host with any guidance and assistance in future. Killing won't bring any Experience Points. The Host is suggested to spend more time in performing cultivation, so that the Host could become an Immortal at an early date!"

"What? I can't earn Experience Points by killing? Damn! Killing will be meaningless for me!" Xu Que widened his eyes immediately.

The most important reason for him to come to the World of Near Celestial was to find Jiang Hongyan and the rest people. Another reason was that there were a lot of powerhouses here, among which some powerhouses would be killed by him and bring him a lot of Experience Points!

He even planned to reach the Heaven Celestial Stage and the Golden Celestial Stage by accumulating Experience Points through killing in these years, so that he could dominate the World of Near Celestial.

He never expected this awesome function was not available anymore!

"Damn! This is totally unreasonable! Why do you insist on weakening me?" Xu Que was so annoyed for he was not used to upgrade through performing cultivation.

It was just like the life. One could always start a luxurious life from a simple one easily. However, it would be extremely difficult for one to start a simple life from a luxurious one.

"Before the Host crossed his Heavenly Tribulation, the System had sent a notification. The Host could check the notification list of the System!" The System replied calmly.

Xu Que checked the notification list immediately. Then, he found the System really sent him a notification before he crossed the Heavenly Tribulation. However, the notification was ignored by him.

For so long a time, Xu Que was tired of the System's warning tones, which were mainly used to tell him the Act Tough Points and Experience Points he earned. Most of the time, he just switched off that function. He didn't expect he omitted such an important notification.

But…even if it was not omitted, he still had no other choices.

He would reach the Half Celestial Stage sooner or later. It was impossible for him to stay in the Four Great Continents just for accumulating Experience Points!

After all, there were no powerhouses at the Human Celestial Stage or Half Celestial Stage in the Four Great Continents for him to kill. He had to cross his Heavenly Tribulation for it was impossible for him to earn Experience Points at the Great Vehicle Stage forever!

"Alas! Forget it! I can perform cultivation! It is never a big issue for me to be kind and merciful in future!" Xu Que chose to accept the fact soon!

After all, he knew it was impossible for him to accumulate Experience Points by killing forever!

Now, he would need a huge amount of Experience Points to realize each upgrade. If he accumulated Experience Points by killing people, the time he spent in killing would be same with the time he used to perform cultivation at last.

However, his Taoist Connotation and Soul Strength wouldn't be improved if he accumulated Experience Points through killing. On the contrary, after performing cultivation and comprehending his Tao, his Taoist Connotation and Soul Strength would always be enhanced remarkably and merge with his body in a more efficient and solid way!

Therefore, after accepting the fact that he couldn't earn Experience Points by killing, Xu Que decided to perform his cultivation steadily.

But he still needed to kill a lot of people to enhance the efficiency of his cultivation.

Before that, he killed people only for Experience Points and Act Tough Points. Equipment and properties of those who were killed by him would never be considered.

Now, he killed people for Act Tough Points and their belongings. He would obtain anything which could assist his cultivation, like the elixirs and Spiritual Crystals, etc. Also, Celestial Artifacts which could enhance his strength would also be his targets.

"My fellow cultivator!"

"My fellow cultivator, are you OK?"

A nifty voice came in at this time.

Xu Que came to himself and found Lan Xinyue and the rest young men and women were staring at him curiously.

Xu Que shook his head instantly, "I'm OK! I just can't figure out a question!"

"Oh? What is the question that bothers you?" Lan Xinyue asked immediately.

Xu Que used to help her a lot. So, she always wanted to find an opportunity to repay him.

"Alas!" Xu Que sighed, "I am so lonely, empty and cold!"

"Ah?" Lan Xinyue was surprised by his words.

"Nothing! I don't understand why people always want to fight me desperately. Is my handsomeness really that intolerable?" Xu Que asked gloomily.

The rest people were totally embarrassed by his words.

Why do people always want to fight you desperately?

I'm afraid I can't agree with you!

Just now, Liu Wenfeng was trying to escape. But you stopped him and killed him directly!

And your handsomeness has nothing to do with this, OK?

"Eh…" Lan Xinyue said with an embarrassed smile. Then, she said by folding her hands at Xu Que, "I really appreciate your help this time. I don't know how to repay you. For anything I can help you in future, I will do my best!"

"It's OK! Please don't mention it! By the way, Ms. Lan, please find me a room in this hostel. Although I don't care to sleep with you in the same bed, I'm afraid my reputation could be impaired if anyone else knows about it for I am still an innocent boy!" Xu Que said seriously by waving his hand.

His words stunned Lan Xinyue and the rest people immediately.

Lan Hetu widened his eyes and really wanted to beat Xu Que up.

What are you talking about?

You don't mind to sleep with my sister in the same bed? Nice try!

How could you have the nerve to say you are an innocent boy? Do you know my elder sister is still a virgin?

"My fellow cultivator, please hold on for a moment. I'll handle it immediately!" At this time, Lan Xinyue said with a smile and ignored Xu Que's words.

This was a world dominated by powerhouses who had the right to say anything!

However, Lan Xinyue also knew Xu Que meant no harm although he acted like a shameless rascal. If Xu Que really wanted to do something evil, she would have been subdued by Xu Que.

At last, Lan Xinyue prepared a luxurious room for Xu Que and even walked him to his room.

Xu Que always wanted to repay others' kindness. When they entered his room, he invited Lan Xinyue and the rest people to drink tea with him.

Lan Xinyue didn't want to reject him. So, all of them sat down in Xu Que's room.

However, when all of them sat down, Xu Que said, "Please help yourself and make yourself at home!" Then, he started to sit in his chair motionlessly. It seemed he didn't want to serve tea for his guests.

Of course, Lan Xinyue and the rest people didn't dare to ask Xu Que to serve tea for them. So, they boiled water and made tea immediately.

Whoosh!

Just at this time, Xu Que waved his hand and took out a black rod from his crotch. Then, he started to play with it with a smile.

"What a unique and extraordinary rod!"
