“This is the stick you used to hit me with earlier?” Jiang Hongyan looked at the long black stick in Xu Que’s hands with great surprise.
She had recollected all her memories and also remembered clearly what had happened after she got out of the Ancient Bronze Hall.
Xu Que smiled. “I am sorry. I had no other choices at that time, anyway. Anyone hit by this stick will faint.”
“How wonderful it is!” Jiang Hongyan was amazed. She carefully examined the stick, and then she shook her head. “But you can’t defeat the cultivator with it! Once a cultivator is in the Crossing Calamity Stage, he is able to make a direct connection with the world around him. As soon as you get close to him, he will know. Besides, he is already in the top level of the Mahayana, the Great Vehicle Stage.”
“Even so, I have got plenty of ways to defeat him!”
Xu Que said this because he knew there were a variety of incantations in the System. He was confident that he could find one that could defeat a cultivator of the Great Vehicle Stage. If he could not find one, he had decided to kill a cultivator of the Crossing Calamity Stage to get a Big Mystery Bag,and then activate the Lucky Aura to open the bag. Anyway, he was sure that he could find a way to defeat him.
Hearing this, Jiang Hongyan shook her head. “If I don’t leave here, I will put all the people in the four Continents in great danger. In five years, he will be able to come to this side if he realizes that I’m not going to see him. By that time, the restrictions here will be broken.”
Five years?
Xu Que was relieved.
I thought I was going to have to fight against a cultivator in the top level of the Mahayana, the Great Vehicle Stage. He won’t be here for at least five years! Lol. There’s nothing to be afraid of. After I destroyed my own cultivation, it only took me two years to get to the Void Training Stage. I am sure in five years I will be able to get into the Form Synthesis Stage or even the Crossing Calamity Stage. By that time, I am sure I can kill him as easily as killing an ant.
“Young lady, don’t worry. I can promise you that in five years I am going to be the most powerful man you have ever seen!” Xu Que smiled and reached out his hand to touch Jiang Hongyan’s tiny but delicate nose.
Jiang Hongyan did not dodge and was stunned. This was not the first time that Xu Que had touched her nose.
A few years ago, when Jiang Hongyan was going through her Heavenly Tribulations, Xu Que also touched her nose like this and promised that he would keep her safe, and he really had done so. This time, he was very confident and promised her that he would defeat the cultivator who was in the top level of the Mahayana, the Great Vehicle Stage.
“You think I am very handsome and cool, right?” Xu Que smiled.
Jiang Hongyan rolled her eyes and smiled. “Behave yourself!”
She had already made a decision that she was going to trust him, a young man who had created many miracles and who had even saved her life.
…
Right at this moment, all the ancient cities around the Celestial Burial Valley turned into chaos. Everyone knew that the cultivators from the other side had demanded Xu Que to come see them together with Jiang Hongyan. They even said they wanted Xu Que to kneel down before them while killing him.
Many cultivators were terrified. None of them would dare to go if this happened to them.
“My god! Someone like Xu Que would never agree to go to see them!”
“Yesterday, I did believe that he would sacrifice himself to save us. Then he sent his doppelganger to meet them and he himself disappeared.”
“Obviously, he was afraid, otherwise he would show himself! He sent his doppelganger to meet them only to get enough time to run away.”
“What should we do? Where should all those innocent ordinaries go?”
All of a sudden, everyone got extremely terrified. Among them, the cultivators from the Utopia Faction feared the most since the cultivators from the other side had said that they would destroy the Utopia Faction first, then Buttface and Duan Jiude.
The Utopia Faction immediately activated the Array of Spiritual Level given to them by Xu Que and sealed up the mountain where they were staying. Buttface and Duan Jiude vanished together, and no one saw them ever after.
But the Array of Spiritual Level was not helpful at all if all those cultivators worked together. They could destroy the Array of Spiritual Level within one day.
“The Utopia Faction is going to end!”
Many people were very sympathetic with the Utopia Faction. However, when Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan heard about the news, they just laughed.
Xu Que sneered, “They want to destroy the Utopia Faction?! It is impossible for them to do so!”
“They would be killed by me. I will make sure of that!”
“Do you mind if I kill them all?” Xu Que looked at Jiang Hongyan and asked.
Jiang Hongyan shook her head. “Not at all. If I don’t go back with them, they would doublecross me and would still kill me! For them, the only King of the Xuanzhen Continent is my father. I am just a puppet for them to maintain their control.”
“Maintain their control? You mean there is more than one cultivator who is in the top level of the Mahayana, the Great Vehicle Stage?”
“You are right! In fact, apart from the four Continents, there are two more, one is the Xuanzhen Continent close to the Infinite Sea, and the other is the Xuanling Continent. There are more than 100 cultivators who are in the top level of the Mahayana, the Great Vehicle Stage in total!” Jiang Hongyan said.
Hearing this, Xu Que was stunned. “How can this be? The gap between the four Continents and the other two you just mentioned is too big!”
Jiang Hongyan shook her head. “I don’t know why this would happen. I believe this has something to do with the restrictions here. Many cultivators, once they reach the Form Synthesis Stage, find it very hard to get into a higher level.”
“How interesting this is!” Xu Que said in a low voice.
Meanwhile, many people knew Xu Que had come back and gathered on the street to see if he really would go to see the cultivators, but no one dared to ask him directly.
They want Xu Que to kneel down in front of them while killing him. This is too humiliating!
“Wow, so many people, why are you all staring at me? I know I am handsome, but please don’t look at me like this. I am going to charge you!” Xu Que smiled at them.
Hearing this, the people all were speechless. No one had the time or the energy to listen to his boring jokes anymore.
Xu Que looked afar and sneered. “Tell them to clean their necks, I’ll be there in a minute!”
