1053 The Reunion of the Combination of Que, De, and Dog! (1/2)

Xu Que was astonished. He did not expect that his random pick had gotten him a female follower from his Exploding Heavens Faction!

The only problem was that the female follower was too ordinary and unattractive. Maybe she just looked too flat in her black robe. Maybe she was too tired from all the fleeing for so many years, and her face was covered with dust and blood. It was hard to distinguish her gender; she didn't look like a female at all!

”Uh, reporting to the Faction Leader, I'm the female follower. My name is Zhang Suyue,” she replied in an awkward manner.

Xu Que laughed. ”Good name, good name, all right, enough nonsense, tell me about everything you know, such as the recent rumors about the Celestial Burial Valley!”

”Celestial Burial Valley…” Zhang Suyue was startled for a second, but soon she reported on everything she had seen and heard in the East Continent. Along the way, Xu Que sort of figured out the general situation.

The so-called Immortal Cultivators weren't targeting the Nine Deathtraps such as the Celestial Burial Valley in the first place. They were here merely because the Xuanzhen Continent had undergone a drastic transformation. There had been a crack in the Void, affecting the Shackle Spell of The Four Great Continents!

When the spell was broken, the Immortal Cultivators came in just a night, occupying several sites abundant in Spiritual Qi. Subsequently, they discovered the Nine Deathtraps, especially the Celestial Burial Valley, which amazed them.

”Faction Leader, coincidentally I was somewhere close to the East Continent's Celestial Burial Valley then. One of them was expressing his amazement when he came out of the Celestial Burial Valley. He even mentioned that the place was the Heavenly Human Tribe's tomb!” Zhang Suyue continued.

Xu Que was astounded.

The Heavenly Human Tribe? Those extremely arrogant and haughty angels?

He had encountered them when he was on his route to Immortal Attainment. To his surprise, now he found out that the Celestial Burial Valley was their tribe's tomb!

”It's interesting that they would recognize the people of the Heavenly Human Tribe. I guess there must be some of them in the World of Near Celestial too!” Xu Que's eyes narrowed and he smiled faintly.

Zhang Suyue was confused. ”Faction Leader, have you seen those from the Heavenly Human Tribe? Why are they called the Heavenly Human?”

”That's what they called themselves. In fact, they're just a group of human-birds with wings. The key is that they're extremely weak. In the end, they were annihilated by me!” Xu Que explained proudly.

In the first place, if they hadn't been too arrogant to provoke him, he wouldn't have annihilated that tribe. He could only say that the other side was simply seeking death! But the bottom line was the law of survival in the World of Cultivators—the survival of the fittest!

Zhang Suyue's face was stiff when she heard his words—annihilated the entire tribe? Such a thing...was really the style of their Faction Leader!

…..

After gaining a basic understanding of the general situation and seeing that Zhang Suyue didn't know much, Xu Que didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he rushed all the way to the Celestial Burial Valley!

Previously, he had wanted to inquire about something from those aces in the Half-Celestial Stage, but they were too arrogant. Moreover, they were hard to catch alive, so he simply killed them. Otherwise he would know more about the situation now.

It seems that I have to advance further. If I could step into the Mahayana, the Great Vehicle Stage, I could then capture a few to interrogate with torture! Xu Que was secretly making plans to himself.

He had killed seven in the Half-Celestial Stage, and, as a result, he attained a minor cultivation stage and stepped into the fifth stage of the Crossing Calamity Stage. In the future, the experience points he needed would get higher and higher. He estimated that he would need to kill at least 70 or 80 Half-Celestials before he could enter the Mahayana, the Great Vehicle Stage!

It was a journey of upgrading that Xu Que was gradually feeling was a little too slow, but his own cultivation was even slower. He wasn't used to it! Ah, this is utterly depressing!

…..

Two weeks later, after Xu Que's depressing sighs, he finally arrived at the East Continent's Celestial Burial Valley! As Zhang Suyue had described, the entrance of the Celestial Burial Valley was set up with a Celestial Spell Array. Spiritual Qi was all around and it was emitting a strong murderous vibe. Even when he wasn't up close, it made his hair stand on end. There was a feeling of suffocation!

”Uh? It's a Celestial Spell Array at Half-star Level!” Xu Que was instantly dumbfounded. The level of that Celestial Spell Array was beyond his imagination; it had reached a Half-star Level.

Previously, in the Mystery Land of the South Continent, he bought a Black Tortoise Array which was worth 500,000 Acting Tough Points; it was only at the One-star Level. He had never thought that those aces from Half-Celestial could lay a Celestial Spell Array at Half-star Level in the entire valley. Their backgrounds weren't that simple. No wonder Duan Jiude had been badly defeated!

”Faction Leader, what should we do now? They're all in the Celestial Burial Valley, but if we get close, we'll be discovered!” Zhang Suyue lowered her voice.

Both of them were hiding behind the boulders, dozens of miles away from the Celestial Burial Valley, observing it from a safe distance.

When Xu Que heard Zhang Suyue's questions, he shook his head, ”This landscape is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Coupled with this Celestial Spell Array, I'm afraid we can't sneak in.”

”Ah? What can we do?” Zhang Suyue was muddled; she thought to herself that the Celestial Spell Array was indeed remarkable, if even their Faction Leader was at a loss of what to do.

However, Xu Que smiled. ”What can we do? Since we can't sneak in, we can only barge in forcefully!”
