Two days later, Xu Que had arrived at Mount Tai!
He had stayed in the mountain for two days, waiting for the people sent by Cai to seal the mountain and drive all the people in this area away. Luckily, Cai accomplished this task in two days reliably.
All the people in this mountain, including all the owners of small restaurants and shops, were sent away. Several citizens who had escaped the net were later also scared away when Xu Que dressed himself as a ghost at night.
At this moment, Xu Que was standing at the summit of Mount Tai. The entire mountain was extraordinarily quiet.
Boom!
He started to scan the mountain with his powerful Soul Strength. After confirming that there was no sense of humans on the mountain, he took out a spell disk. Then,he sealed Mount Tai with an ordinary defensive spell.
“System, I am ready to open the restrictive spell!”
Xu Que opened the System interface. According to the guidance he had received, he started to search for the Spell Core of the restrictive spell at the summit of Mount Tai.
Although he didn’t know who had set up the powerful restrictive spell outside Earth, he could figure out that this person was quite powerful, who at least would have reached the Celestial Realm. Otherwise, this person could never have set up such an extraordinary restrictive spell! This restrictive spell had a lot of Spell Cores.
All of them were time-honored historical sites on Earth! For example, the Pyramids, Easter Island, and Stonehenge were three of the mysterious sites!
Mount Tai, where Xu Que was now, was also quite important in Huaxia. From ancient times, people treated Mount Tai as a paradise that could “lead to the throne”. Ordinary people and emperors came to Mount Tai to have religious sacrificial ceremonies. Both Taoism and Buddhism regarded Mount Tai as a celestial mountain, and a Buddhist country had built countless temples on it. A lot of ancient buildings and stone tablets could be found on Mount Tai.
As a cultivator, Xu Que knew clearly that these legends were not groundless. The possible reason that ancient people held Mount Tai in esteem could be related to the restrictive spell’s Spell Core in this mountain. Among the ancient people, there would also be cultivators. Therefore, there was a very famous saying – As long as Mount Tai is safe, the entire world is safe!
“It seems the history of Earth could rival that of the World of Cultivators! The Earth also has had a splendid history!” Xu Que exclaimed and continued to search for the restrictive spell. At last, Xu Que found the Spell Core on a Heaven Worship Altar with the guidance of the System. The entire Spell Core was deeply buried under the ground. It was quite difficult to sense the power of the restrictive spell.
However, Xu Que was two-thirds an Earthling. The System confirmed that his bloodline was qualified to inherit the Spell Core of this restrictive spell.
“OK, let’s begin!” Xu Que walked to the Heaven Worship Altar and sat down at its center with his legs crossed. Then he held out a finger. A cut appeared on that finger and fresh blood started to drip on the altar slowly.
He didn’t need to move the entire mountain to inherit the Spell Core. The inheritance only needed the power of his bloodline and mind sense. Xu Que was able to handle this operation with ease.
When the altar was drenched by his blood, he opened his Soul Strength and started to check the underground area with his blood. Then, he sat on the altar quietly with his legs crossed as if he was in a secluded cultivation.
Two hours had passed and he was motionless!
Four hours had passed and he was as quiet as a rock!
Six hours…
Twelve hours…
One day…
Two days…
On the third day, the entire Mount Tai trembled a bit, which created a dull sound. Almost at the same time, Xu Que opened his eyes abruptly. His pitch-dark pupils became deeper, like a galaxy.
“I didn’t expect I could find this opportunity during this inheritance!” Xu Que murmured in surprise.
In the last three days, he had managed to control this Spell Core and even obtained an ancient heritage, which was an incomplete rune, from it. More important, he could sense some familiarity from this incomplete rune. After being absorbed by his body, it started to resonate with a magic art.
“Interesting! Let me check this magic art. Maybe the one who set up this restrictive spell is related to me by destiny!” Xu Que smiled as he checked his magic arts.
Soon, he found the source of the resonance, which surprised him. He hadn’t acquired the magic art that resonated with that incomplete rune.
“How could this be?” Xu Que said in disbelief.
He got two heritages in the Five Elements Mountain. One was the Heaven and Earth Seal. The other one included the Pupils of the Fire Eyes and the Eight Times Nine Transformation that he inherited from that creature.
He didn’t expect this incomplete rune would resonate with the Pupils of the Fire Eyes. The incomplete rune merged with the Pupils of the Fire Eyes completely as if some of its defects had been remedied and the magic art had been perfected.
At the time he had gotten the heritages in the Five Elements Mountain, Xu Que’s Taoist Connotation was not powerful enough. The System told him that his Taoist Connotation would be wiped out if he acquired the Pupils of the Fire Eyes and the Eight Times Nine Transformation. Then he would inherit that creature’s Taoist Connotation.
Now, Xu Que’s Taoist Connotation was more powerful than before, but it was still not powerful enough to acquire them. However, after the integration of this incomplete rune, he found he could acquire the Pupils of the Fire Eyes without influencing his Taoist Connotation.
“This is…so interesting!” Xu Que cheered up and summoned the System to acquire the Pupils of the Fire Eyes immediately. He just wanted to know whether this Pupils of the Fire Eyes was the legendary Piercing Eyes, which could look through all transformation arts!
Ding! “Congratulations to the Host in acquiring the Pupils of the Fire Eyes successfully!”
Along with the System’s warning tone, Xu Que saw the introduction of this magic art in the interface.
Pupils of the Fire Eyes: Advanced Moon Rank magic art, one of the Five Elements Heavenly Pupils; The Fire Eyes could establish Fire Element Illusory Realms. (When all the Five Elements Heavenly Pupils have reached their summits, the Host could establish vivid Illusory Realms!)
Holy crap!
Xu Que’s eyes opened wide for he was been totally shocked. It turned out it was not the Piercing Eyes at all. It was a fire element pupil art, which could establish the fire element illusory realms.
In this way, I could establish vivid illusory realms after acquiring the pupil arts of the rest of the four elements, right?
Damn! Does this mean I could trap someone in an illusory realm forever?
Wait! Vivid illusory realms? Could it be that…?
Xu Que was shocked as he remembered the illusory realm that had trapped him and Zixia Fairy for several decades.
I guess that illusory realm was established through the complete Five Elements Heavenly Pupils!
No wonder it was so powerful!
Xu Que’s eyelids twitched. Even the powerful Zixia Fairy couldn’t escape from it. Therefore, he guessed even a Celestial would be trapped in it.
“It’s seems that I, the Act-Tough Saint, am related to the Five Elements by destiny!” Xu Que smiled a bit. Then he started to look around and beyond, for he was itchy to have a try.
He got a feeling that it was just like getting additional awards from the bottle cap after drinking a coke. He could get a heritage whenever he opened a restrictive spell’s Spell Core.
This time he just controlled one Spell Core, and his gain was quite fruitful. If he could inherit the rest of the Spell Cores, he might obtain more windfalls! He could even get the incomplete rune for the Eight Times Nine Transformation!
“Heh-heh, I have a sudden feeling that Earth is just a big treasure house for me!” Xu Que couldn’t help but smile.
He decided to travel around the world after finishing all these present issues! However, the most urgent thing now was he should open a gap in the restrictive spell so that he could bring Jiang Hongyan to Earth.
Whoosh!
Instantly, he opened his magnificent Soul Strength!
Sitting on the altar, he felt he had been merged with the entire Mount Tai. He could control everything in this mountain, including its restrictive spell.
“Open!!” He shouted as he pointed at the sky with his fingers.
Swish! A strand of dazzling light gushed out.
The next moment, a light halo appeared in the space outside Earth. Then a gap was opened.
Xu Que jumped up into the sky by stepping on lightning as he shouted, “Little girl, your man is back!”
