1563 Certainly Looking Forward to I (1/2)

In the end, Wang Chi and the others gave their consent to Xu Que's request to set up the Divine Formation.

However, while letting Xu Que set up the Divine Formation, they surreptitiously removed about 100,000 middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones from the amount they were going to give Xu Que. They'd decided to do this while he was keeping busy with the Divine Formation.

In fact, they were trying to buy some time in order to confirm whether or not the so-called minor tribulation would appear in an hour's time.

Even if it did appear, they were prepared this time and would try to withstand it with their own strength. If they could withstand it, then they wouldn't need any so-called Sons of Light.

If they couldn't, then...well, they would have to bear the pain of suffering such a loss of their Spirit Stones to avoid the calamity of the tribulation.

Xu Que got busy, placing the middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones around the spacious Taoist Sanctum, spreading them out as much as possible.

He spread out the type of spell formation that would gather up all the Celestial Core Power of the middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones.

”Oh, Slayer Lord, why does your spell formation look like a Soul-Gathering Array?” At this point, a nearby Elder, who was good at spell formations, frowned and asked Xu Que this question.

Xu Que calmly spread out his hands and said, ”It certainly resembles it, but that doesn't mean it is a Soul-Gathering Array. The principle is similar, after all. The purpose of this formation is to gather the Qi to search for those Sons of Light.”

”I get it.” The Elder understood what he'd said and felt that Xu Que's words had made sense.

However, this was in fact really just a Soul-Gathering Array. The only difference was that the Qi Xu Que was going to gather led to the Spiritual Links that were under the ground.

These underground Spiritual Links were attached to the Qi for the Heaven Palace Sect's Mountain's Protective Spell Array. But Xu Que had used up to 1,000 spell formations to transform the Mountain's Protective Spell Array into a death spell.

In other words, Xu Que had linked all of the Celestial Qi of the Soul-Gathering Array up to the death spell. The stronger the Celestial Qi, the more terrifying the power of the death spell would be.

”Elder, please take a look at these 100,000 Celestial Spirit Stones that have been laid out. Where are the others? The Dean and the other Elders said that they were going to bring out the remaining Spirit Stones. Why aren't they here yet? It's been such a long time.” Xu Que looked at the Heaven Palace Sect's Elder who was with him and asked with a frown.

”Don't worry, there's no rush. The Dean said that he was going to retrieve the Spirit Stones, so he will naturally do that. Just be patient.” The Elder replied with a smile.

”Well, it's almost time.” Xu Que's expression still seemed very urgent, but he was smiling on the inside.

The 100,000 middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones were all concentrated within the group of death spells near the main gate of the Heaven Palace Sect. Once it exploded in a moment's time, oh my, he didn't even dare to imagine what would happen then.

A hint of a smile was apparent in Xu Que's eyes. He certainly knew what those high-ranking people in the Heaven Palace Sect were up to. But it didn't make any difference to him.

Now he would just wait for enough Celestial Spirit Stones to be here in order to detonate the Mountain's Protective Spell Array, which had been transformed into a death spell. Then it would destroy the entire Heaven Palace Sect and at the same time shatter the world of memory. Then finally he would be able to smoothly traverse the Relationship Tribulations, and he could return to the Heaven Continent.

It was simple and primitive.

Soon, the hour that Xu Que had predicted to the Heaven Palace Sect as the time for the minor tribulation approached.

Dean Wang Chi and the other Elders hurriedly rushed over with urgent, grave expressions as they were cutting it very close to the tribulation time.

”How's the setup of the formation coming along? Has the minor tribulation arrived yet?” Wang Chi immediately asked upon arrival.

”Oh, Dean Wang, you all have come in time. The minor tribulation will be here very soon.” The corners of Xu Que's mouth curled up, and he reached out his hand to point toward the spot next to the main gate.

”The minor tribulation will land there?” Wang Chi was startled.

”Yes, it was the deity's instructions.” Xu Que nodded.

”How much longer?” Wang Chi looked grim.

Xu Que looked up at the sky and raised his hand and he said, ”Now!”

As soon as he spoke, he snapped his fingers with a POP sound.

As if it had been long arranged, with the snap of his fingers, a loud noise instantly came from the courtyard perimeter wall next to the main gate.

BOOM!

This time, the noise was far more earth-shattering than it had been the last time.

The whole perimeter wall, including the edge of the Taoist Sanctum, was instantly torn apart and shrouded in a ball of glowing brilliance.
