Ultimate Scheming System

A gentle wind blew past, but the figure did not dissipate. Conversely, it gradually accumulated behind the palace as the movement became larger and larger.

In the blink of an eye, a whistling whirlwind swept across the palace and surrounded the figure.

Buttface said in surprise. “Sh*t, when did this little fellow finish? There was so much Core Celestial Power Qi, and he had absorbed all of it already?”

He was shocked and blankly watched in disbelief as the figure walked out of the palace.

Initially, he had just casually called for help and never thought that Xu Que would come out, and now that he had it seemed so sudden.

The main point was that when they were freeing the Turtle Spirit there was still half of Celestial Core Power Qi was left, but by now all Celestial Core Power Qi was fully absorbed by Xu Que, without a trace of any power left. That was scary.

Before the double-hour was up, he had actually absorbed all Celestial Core Power Qi, something even the Celestial Emperor was not able to achieve.

“Why is there such a strong Terrifying Spiritual Qi?” Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned slightly and her expression became serious as she stared coldly at Xu Que.

Evidently, it was clear that she knew where Terrifying Spiritual Qi came from. Only lives with enough holy spirit could possess the Terrifying Spiritual Qi.

Even before the Heaven & Earth Furnace was started up, she had already discovered that many holy spirits came in from the outside and were all blood sacrificed by the Heaven & Earth Furnace.

Previously, she had wanted to stop Xu Que from continuing, but she had been too late. During the process of Xu Que’s cultivation, nothing unusual or life-threatening had ever happened, so she had given up on the thought of stopping him.

But now, Xu Que’s whole body radiated majestic Terrifying Spiritual Qi, and she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Being a Cultivator and having exceeded one’s capacity to possess Terrifying Spiritual Qi turns the heart into a beast, causes one to lose intelligence, leads one to become crazy, and transforms one to become a ruthless killing monster.

Now, Xuanyuan Wanrong could see with clarity. Terrifying Spiritual Qi radiating from Xu Que’s body was absolutely not what he had the capacity to withstand at this enlightenment level, and she was worried about the difficulties if Xu Que was really controlled by Terrifying Spiritual Qi.

“Buttface, what are you blindly shouting? Who is bullying you again?”

At this moment, Xu Que’s indolent yet roguish voice called out, and the palace ceased all movement and became calm, while Xu Que’s figure became sharper.

His body had recovered to its original state and was even more tenacious than before. His eyes, as black as ink, were vast, deep, and energetic.

Xuanyuan Wanrong’s expression changed into one of astonishment.

“How is that possible? He’s unscathed! Such powerful Terrifying Spiritual Qi, and he still managed to remain rational?” she thought.

“Wow, little fellow, aren’t you ferocious? You really reached the Disbanded Celestial Stage of the Great All-Embracing Heaven in one go?” At this moment, Buttface jumped out from the cliff and rushed in front of Xu Que, looking him up and down in shock.

“Keep a low profile. I’m only a Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. Nothing to brag about!” Xu Que humbly smiled and flexed his biceps at Buttface.

In this current state, he was full of self-confidence, and with 49 days of closed cultivation, the rewards that he gained were huge.

Not only had his skill level broken through to the True Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven at the last moment, but his holy body after reconstruction had also transformed and become far more powerful than before.

With this amount of skill, he felt that it would be no problem to wipe out the Heaven Continent.

“What True Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven? If one True Celestial comes, I’ll just kill one. If they come in a group, I’ll just kill the group.”

Of course, what he was most surprised about was the Chaotic Green Lotus in his Dantian.

After absorbing Celestial Core Power Qi, the five leaves of the Chaotic Green Lotus had thoroughly grown out. They were bright green like jade and exquisite. In-between the five leaves, in the upper portion of the lotus, was a small green bulb.

That was actually the flower from the Chaotic Green Lotus and, even though it was so small it was barely noticeable, at least it had grown out.

As the Chaotic Green Lotus completed its fourth stage of growth, Xu Que discovered that infinite majestic Terrifying Spiritual Qi spouted from inside, as if the small world of the Chaotic Green Lotus was already flooded by Terrifying Spiritual Qi.

Even more fortunately, Terrifying Spiritual Qi was already entirely controlled by the Chaotic Green Lotus and, even if it spurted outside the body, it would not harm his body or have any other impact.

The main point was that Xu Que discovered that he only needed to change his spiritual belief to control Terrifying Spiritual Qi easily. In the future, coupled with the Act Tough King’s Purple Gold Rod, it would become a large killing weapon.

“Powerful fellow, now you’re invincible, and we can rule the Heaven Continent!” Buttface’s face lit up with joy and looked expectedly at Xu Que as if he could already see himself doing whatever he pleased in the Heaven Continent.

Xu Que smiled slightly. This time when he returned to the Heaven Continent, he wouldn’t need to keep a low profile anymore.

If he went back, he had to let the whole Heaven Continent know that he is Xu Que and that he has come.

Xu Que shifted his gaze to Xuanyuan Wanrong and said cockily, “Oh, Xuanyuan Wanrong, why are you still here? It’s over. You can leave. Please take care of yourself in the future, and don’t burden me!”

After reaching the next enlightenment level, his whole self felt more refreshed and much more confident. Even his words had more confidence.

Xuanyuan Wanrong knitted her eyebrows and looked Xu Que up and down. She remained silent, but there was a spark of curiosity in her eyes.

It was impossible for her not to be curious, as Terrifying Spiritual Qi on Xu Que had disappeared without a trace, and this shocked her. She firmly believed that the Terrifying Spiritual Qi she felt just now was not a mistake.

But now, Terrifying Spiritual Qi had disappeared in an instant.

This could only mean one thing—that Xu Que could control Terrifying Spiritual Qi as he wished—but this was something that Wanrong herself was unable to do. Terrifying Spiritual Qi was too strong and majestic for her.

Finally, Xuanyuan Wanrong asked, ” Terrifying Spiritual Qi inside your body… What’s going on?”

Xu Que didn’t mind her asking. After all, with such a large movement, it would be strange if she didn’t.

Xu Que answered with a cheap smile, “Hehe, Terrifying Spiritual Qi is nothing. I think you should take more notice of my handsomeness!” He had no intention of telling her his secrets.

Hearing his words, Wanrong raised an eyebrow again. “You don’t have any reservations about me. Because you have a trace of my blood in you, there is no way that I will harm you!”

“Oh, speaking of that, I just thought of something. Regarding the trace of blood, you are mistaken!” Xu Que’s expression became serious as his smile vanished.

Xuanyuan Wanrong seized with terror and silently looked at Xu Que as if prompting him to continue.

Xu Que smiled again. “Let’s leave first. After we leave, I’ll raise my second request, and then I’ll tell you what’s going on!’

“Second request…” Xuanyuan Wanrong muttered to herself and then nodded. “Okay, but… Are you sure you want to leave now?”

“Of course! There’s nothing not to be sure about. Let’s go!” After he finished speaking, Xu Que waved his hands and prepared to keep the palace away.

He had previously said that he was going to return the palace to Xuanyuan Wanrong after using it, reasoning that there was a replica of her inside.

The precious Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool inside the palace was another matter, though. Without finding a more suitable vessel, Xu Que could not bear to return the palace to her just like that.

Xuanyuan Wanrong didn’t understand the meaning behind Xu Que’s small waves, and a pondering smile donned her face as she gazed attentively at him.

Xu Que was rather unsettled by this smile and immediately said, “Don’t worry. I am a man of my word. I just need to borrow the palace for a few more days. I will definitely return it to you. Knowing this character of mine, how can you not trust me?”

Xuanyuan Wanrong gently shook her head and said, “You better worry about yourself instead. It’s not a good time to leave now.”

“What the heck? If we want to leave, we just leave. What are we waiting for? Throughout my life, no matter what I do, I’ve never been afraid of anything. Buttface, let’s go!” Xu Que confidently proclaimed, waving one of his hands toward the sky.

The rocks on the walls and the roof of the cave finally exploded, exposing a large entrance, and then the entire cave shook violently and started to crack.
