SWOOSH!
Xu Que used his Divine Psychokinesis power to condense a formless force, and he used it to push the two souls. He wanted to put them into the Firestorm Wheels!
This was an interaction method, and he wasn’t trying to force the two souls to enter. Everything was still up to them to decide.
However, what was beyond Xu Que’s expectations was that the two souls cooperated well, and it seemed as if they understood that their child was asking them to enter the Celestial Artifact for their own well-being. This was why, after Xu Que used his Divine Psychokinesis to push them, the expressionless souls turned into two black rays and entered the Firestorm Wheels.
“What the h*ll! Why are they so obedient?” Buttface spoke with surprise.
Xu Que shook his head. He also couldn’t discern what kind of beings they were. It could be said that they had lost their spiritual intelligence, but they still revealed human emotions and took other inexplicable actions. They were also able to distinguish good from bad.
But since the souls mistakenly identified their own child and couldn’t even discern whether he was a man or a woman, it was obvious that they didn’t have spiritual intelligence.
“Let’s go outside and give it a try. Let’s see whether we can succeed,” Xu Que spoke and strode ahead of the others. He exited the ancestral tomb.
There were many methods for storing souls, but ordinary artifacts couldn’t contain powerful beings such as Xuanyuan Qishang and Guan Chuchu. It was only a Celestial Artifact that was firm and stable enough and able to store them.
Moreover, Celestial Artifacts also had another natural advantage, and it was that they could hold Artifact Spirits. Artifact Spirits were soul-like beings, and they made it possible for the two souls to get a deceptive nature after they entered the Firestorm Wheels. Thus, it would be more difficult for the Heaven Might to detect them. This was why the Artifact could slow the souls’ dissipating speed.
It was soon obvious that Liu Jingning’s method was proved effective!
After Xu Que took a step out of the ancestral tomb, the situation developed just as Liu Jingning had predicted. The dissipating speed of the two souls within the Celestial Artifact became much, much slower. However, even though a Celestial Artifact possessed a deceptive nature, the souls were still dissipating slowly, and, if nothing was used to help the souls recover, they would completely dissipate in one or two days.
SIGH! “I feel as if it’s a loss, a great loss.” Xu Que sighed helplessly.
Even though Xu Que felt as if he would suffer great losses by using such a method, he still used it because he was softhearted. He didn’t do it for Xuanyuan Wanrong, and it also wasn’t because he could use the souls to stay a Deputy Dean. The reason why he took out the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines was just out of respect for this couple’s obsession over their child.
SWOOSH!
As Xu Que pondered this matter, ten Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines instantly appeared on his palm. A black Mystical Fire came out of his palm, and its high temperature melted the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines. It turned them into a liquid!
Xu Que clasped two fingers and released a wisp of Celestial Core Power that enveloped the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines’ liquid and moved it next to the Firestorm Wheels.
In an instant, the two souls recovered quickly, and their feeble illusory bodies that were within the Firestorm Wheels started becoming more tangible and dense.
However, a small part of the ten Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines’ liquid also disappeared at the same time.
Xu Que was so pained by this sight that he gnashed his teeth. “Such consumption is too great, and it seems as if ten Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines will preserve them for only ten days in the best-case scenario. Thus, 200 vines will only preserve them for 200 days.”
It was only 200 days, and this was an assessment for ordinary situations.
Once Xu Que ran into danger, the two souls would come out of the Celestial Artifact, and, at that time, their dissipating speed would rise dramatically, and even 200 Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines wouldn’t be able to preserve them for more than several days.
SIGH! “Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise,” Xu Que said out of vexation.
Xu Que had managed to deal with the Heaven Palace Academy’s hunting him thanks to those two souls, and he had even managed to criticize and insult them, while getting a Deputy Dean position.
But now, he also had to pay a grave price to preserve the two souls, and he must get more Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines to continue maintaining them.
“Fine, it can be said in a sense that I’m trying my best to repay your favors. In any case…I also don’t want to be followed by you,” Xu Que thought to himself.
Even if he didn’t have those two souls, he would still have to come up with a way to deal with the Heaven Palace Academy. However, without the two souls, the difficulty would be much higher.
But the special misunderstanding that had occurred due to a series of coincidences turned Xu Que’s troubles into his fortune, and this was why he had to make some reciprocation. If he got an opportunity to do what he wanted, he wouldn’t mind preserving those two souls and taking them into the Four Great Continents to meet the real Xuanyuan Wanrong.
“Brother Que, don’t panic. When we have free time, we must go to drink a cup of tea with the Divine Farmer Clan members.”
At this moment, Buttface, who was rarely quick-witted, had noticed that Xu Que’s expression was odd, and he made a suggestion.
Xu Que also put his hand on his waist subconsciously and nodded. He said, “That is right, we must really take a trip to the Divine Farmer Clan’s land. Recently, I have felt that my waist wasn’t in a good state.”
Mo Junchen, “…..”
The Divine Farmer Clan was probably done for!
“Little brat, we have dealt with our trouble, so shouldn’t we leave?” At this moment, Liu Jingning, wearing a fake smile, asked Xu Que.
“That is right, well said! But since I’m the Deputy Dean, I must take a stroll in the academy and familiarize myself with the environment, as well as the students. Buttface, come and show me the way. I plan to first pay a visit to fellow student Jiang. I have heard that she’s an outstanding student,” Xu Que was posturing and acting all upright as he spoke.
“She is really outstanding. But brother Que, did you get the Second Madam’s permission?” Buttface betrayed Xu Que suddenly, and he turned his head around to look at Liu Jingning. He spoke devoutly, “Second Madam, did this affair get your approval?”
“Huh, cr*p! How dare you defy your superior?”
Xu Que glared at Buttface with disbelief apparent on his face as he fumed to himself. This fool obviously wanted to stir up trouble and make my harem descend into chaos.
“He, he, it’s permissible.” At this moment, Liu Jingning waved her hand like a queen with great authority. She had decided to allow such a matter!
Xu Que was displeased by this greatly. A man should have befitting dignity and boldness. It was up to him whether to visit Jiang Hongyan if he wanted to, and it wasn’t up to a woman to criticize him or order him around.
Currently, she had only disrespected her husband, but wouldn’t the situation become worse later?
Xu Que turned around and waved his hand, making a heart gesture at Liu Jingning. He winked at her and said, “I love you!”
…..
Meanwhile, in the ancestral tomb, Li Qinghe and the others all lowered their heads respectfully and stood in front of Li Xuanqi. They all revered the founder and were loyal to him.
When Li Xuanqi detected that Xu Que and his companions had left the ancestral tomb, he squinted and swept his descendants with his gaze. He spoke calmly, “Fine, you should continue bustling as you wish. It’s time for me to go back and take a rest. As for that guy… You are aware of what you should do, and everything that should be said has already been said. If anyone dares to ruin the major plan, don’t blame me for being strict and merciless. Understood?”
“Understood!” Li Qinghe and others immediately responded all with one voice.
Afterward, Li Xuanqi’s body started disappearing among the ancestral tomb’s darkness, and he turned into a wisp of black smoke that fluttered into a coffin in the tomb room.
At this moment, the crowd didn’t say anything further, and they started ancestral sacrifices. They refined the Spiritual Celestial Stones and replenished the Resurrection Formation.
As for the inheritance’s affair? It wasn’t possible to carry it out on this day because they had lost the second-generation Dean. This was why no one dared to mention this matter, and they all would have to wait for five years before coming here again.
The father and son, Li Qingshan and Li Wenqu, were still not willing to accept the previous outcome.
The second-generation Dean had portrayed a beautiful future to them, and all good fortunes should have been gotten by Li Wenqu. The three generations from grandfather to grandson should have been able to take advantage of such a chance to rise and control the whole Heaven Palace Academy.
But now, the second-generation Dean was nearly killed, and this was why the father and son, Li Qingshan and Li Wenqu, felt like they had lost their main support. As they thought about the great plans about the future that they had had, they found themselves unwilling to accept such an outcome.
“Father, do we really have to give up like this?” Li Wenqu looked at Li Qingshan and questioned him with a sound transmission. His anger, resentment, and stubbornness were apparent in his tone.
If the plan succeeded, Li Wenqu would have become the current generation’s most outstanding genius, and his future attainments might even surpass Li Xuanqi’s and everyone else in the Heaven Palace Academy.
Before their group had come here, they had all assumed that this matter was set in stone and easily achievable. But now, an accident had occurred. Asking them to give up wasn’t any different than slicing a piece of meat off their bodies. It was too difficult for them to accept the outcome!
“You aren’t willing to accept it, and nor am I. But do you think that we have any odds of success? If the Sage Sect learns of the power revealed by Xu Que’s father, they would also concede. Do you think that we still have a way to let the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus and the Heavenly Kismet Body get together?” Li Qingshan heaved a sigh and used a sound transmission to reply.
Li Wenqu clenched his fists, while hatred appeared in his eyes, “I have a way. I’m Li Wenqu, and I surely have a way…”
