Ultimate Scheming System

Chapter 1509 - 1509 Reunion



“The Heavenly Stone of Taiyi has been stolen?”

“You couldn’t really call it theft. He did it in broad daylight. Just grabbed it and took off.”

“How else can they pick the One Chosen by Heaven?”

All of a sudden, the crowd who had been waiting for the One Chosen by Heaven ceremony erupted with questions.

The operation that Xu Que had carried out was extremely natural and smooth. It had merely taken a moment, and, by the time anyone had reacted, he’d already picked up the stone and was long gone.

The female disciples from the Jade Lake were also flabbergasted. Bai Cailing looked completely startled, and she laughed bitterly. She asked herself why she hadn’t expected Xu Que would actually do this? Now that he had really offended the Heaven Palace Sect, would there ever be a place for him to seek shelter in the Heaven Continent again?

The many strongmen of the Heaven Palace Sect were walking around with thunderous expressions on their faces. Their fury had skyrocketed almost out of control.

“D*mn it. We actually let him slip away.” A Celestial King’s murderous aura suddenly suffused his whole body. The pressure in his body had built up to such an extent that when he released some of it, cracks appeared on the ground underneath his feet.

“The means that this fellow used are ever-changing. He actually had methods of changing his appearance and presence. He achieved his aim through underhanded means, which we haven’t been able to detect.” Everyone frowned, and people were walking around with depressed expressions on their faces.

“If we can’t take back the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

“We must find him. Even if we have to dig deep underground to look for him, we can’t let him get away with this.” Xuanyuan Hong was grim-faced as she spoke.

.....

At the same time, in the Ziwei Celestial Realm, several thousands of miles away from the Heaven Palace Academy, a burst of ripples could be seen in the sky, which were followed by a brilliant glow. A figure flew out from within the ripples, carrying a boulder. It was Xu Que.

“Xu Que, what the h*ll have you done?” Zixia Fairy had been waiting here for what seemed like a very long time. They had previously devised an escape route and had agreed to meet up here.

But when she saw Xu Que arrive, carrying out the entire Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, she was suddenly struck dumb.

“Heh, heh, heh, if I didn’t take this lousy boulder away, how could I prevent them from continuing to search for the One Chosen by Heaven? Better to be safe than sorry!” Xu Que sniggered and landed on the ground.

With a BANG, the ground immediately caved in from the weight of the boulder.

“Are you going to continue to carry it wherever we go like this?” Zixia Fairy frowned. For Xu Que to carry such a large boulder, even if he changed his appearance or presence, it was still sure to attract attention. Their whereabouts would certainly become exposed if he kept on carrying the stone.

“I want to get rid of it, but I can’t figure out how to do this safely,” Xu Que said with a wry smile.

The weight of this Heavenly Stone of Taiyi had completely surpassed his imagination. With his second-rate Holy Physique, coupled with the increased power of the System’s retaliatory mechanism, it was still extremely hard to move.

Xu Que had also tried to put the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi into the System’s storage space, but that idea was rejected by the System in the end. The System at its current level was unable to accept the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, which contained a lot of God’s Strength.

However, in addition to the System’s storage space, the World of the Green Lotus in Xu Que’s own Dantian also had a place to accept it.

But for an item that even the System didn’t dare to accept, Xu Que also didn’t intend to rush to try it out. He himself had no way to control the small world derived from the chaos of the Green Lotus. How could he dare to toss in the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi so recklessly?

Therefore, left without any other choices, he had to carry the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi with him the entire way.

Fortunately, Xu Que had another Divine Item. The Divine Aperture’s Shell could isolate them from the world and let them become invisible in order to move in the world. The Heavenly Stone of Taiyi wouldn’t be detected by people as long as they were under the Divine Aperture’s Shell.

The only problem with using the Divine Aperture’s Shell was that they couldn’t really use a teleportation device for traveling. They needed to travel all the way across the Ziwei Celestial Realm and then rush to the Tianxiang Celestial Realm.

For more than ten days, Xu Que and Zixia Fairy traveled until they finally arrived at a mountain outside the Tianxiang Celestial Realm.

Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning had been staying here to wait for Xu Que, and they’d even built a small, comfortable cave dwelling.

Before Xu Que had returned, Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning had lived here happily. The forests here in the mountain were as beautiful and quiet as ever, and signs of human habitation were rare.

Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning had been undisturbed for more than ten days and had been immersed in their states of cultivation.

Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning appeared very surprised to see Xu Que arrive with such an enormous boulder. They were even more astounded to learn that the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi was the boulder that assigned the Heavenly Book of Taiyi.

“This guy had actually snatched such a precious Heavenly Stone of Taiyi?”

“Wouldn’t the Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes of the Heaven Palace Sect be furious?”

Even if they had not been at the scene, Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning could imagine those people’s flustered and exasperated appearances. After all, it was not the first time that their fellow, Xu Que, had done this kind of wicked deed.

“Oh, yeah, you mustn’t use your Mind Sense to communicate with the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi. Otherwise we could be in big trouble if you accidentally become the One Chosen by Heaven.” Xu Que warned them all specifically.

The One Chosen by Heaven was simply a scam. If he had had a choice, he would never have wanted to be some lousy One Chosen by Heaven.

“Now I can only hope that Buttface and the others can really find Xuanyuan Wanrong and ask her if there’s any way to take back the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. Even if it can’t be taken back, I have to control the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi and not let the One Chosen by Heaven appear. Then we can stay safe for the time being.” Xu Que shook his head and sighed. Since he’d become the One Chosen by Heaven, there’d only been a bunch of trouble. and, most important of all, he hadn’t gotten any benefits yet.

“In this case, it’ll be better for us to all stay here during this time. You can also take a look at Feifei’s cultivation problems and other things. We will make another plan while we all wait for Buttface and the others to return.” Jiang Hongyan smiled and suggested.

Xu Que also realized that they could no longer move freely during this time. He’d guessed that the group of people from the Heaven Palace Sect were already frantically looking for any traces of them everywhere. If they were to encounter any strongmen of the Celestial Prime cultivation stage while they were out, they might not have to worry about losing their lives, but they would inevitably suffer a hard time. There was no need for them to put themselves through this.

Therefore, Xu Que simply opened up the cave to make it more spacious and wide. He dug out two tunnel entrances, one headed through the north and one headed south, and ended up with a very nice temporary cave dwelling. He even crafted a wide variety of furniture.

Finally, he set out a high-level restrictive barrier covering the whole cave and used the Divine Aperture’s Shell to envelop the outermost layer in order to hide the cave dwelling completely.

In this way, with a two-pronged attack on one problem at the same time and the two protective measures, even if there was someone of the Celestial King cultivation stage passing by, he would be unable to see any signs of life.

With the issue of staying hidden resolved, Jiang Hongyan sat cross-legged on the ground and brought out the Good Fortune Jade Disk to put her soul into it.

Xu Que stood aside and waited. Ever since their last farewell at the Celestial Burial Valley, it had been more than ten years that he hadn’t seen Xu Feifei. But this period had been like running water, hurriedly passing by. It didn’t feel all that long a time.

“I understand that no one in your hometown practices cultivation, but there are countless fun objects there. One can fly without the need to have spiritual energy. Is there really such a place like this in the world?” Zixia Fairy looked at Xu Que and asked.

Duan Jiude had heard a lot of things about Earth from Buttface and had more or less also informed Zixia Fairy about them.

She was very puzzled. Xu Que was such a strange genius, and it was bizarre that he would actually come from a place without any cultivators. The most important thing was that she heard that there were many strange things in that place, which made her really curious.

“Ha, ha, ha, of course it’s true. After all, it was the crystalization of countless years and generations of human wisdom. But in the face of a cultivator’s absolute power, everything there counts for nothing.” Xu Que smiled and then shook his head.

He had been on Earth in person and deeply understood that no matter how strong science and technology were, they also couldn’t stop the frightening power of a cultivator.

However, there were still many strange things that existed on Earth, and it could be determined that before ancient times, cultivators did exist there. But at the time that he had lived there, Xu Que had not been strong enough to explore these ideas any further.

If he had a chance in the future, he would like to go back and try it all again.

“Then...” At this point, Zixia Fairy opened her mouth again and wanted to say something.

However, Jiang Hongyan’s Good Fortune Jade Disk suddenly vibrated and released a brilliant glow of stupendous lights and vibrant colors.

Immediately after, two figures stepped out from within: Jiang Hongyan came out along with Xu Feifei.
