At the moment, the tall woman felt a little sorry! No matter what kind of person Xu Que was, it all boiled down to one thing; Xu Que was knocked unconscious because of her!
Thus, even if Xu Que was nonetheless shameless, she was embarrassed to ask any more questions. She immediately replied, “Since fellow cultivator has forgotten, I’ll explain it to you! We’re now in the Earth Continent that belongs to the World of Near Celestials, but the Earth Continent is only a general term for our realm. In fact, the Earth Continent is also divided into several Celestial Realms…”
She could almost be sure that Xu Que came from the Xuanhuang Continent, which wasn’t an uncommon scenario. Hence, when she introduced the situation of the Earth Continent, she basically explained everything in detail. And Xiao Ru added some explanations to supplement too.
With their explanations, Xu Que quickly absorbed all the new information and finally got a preliminary understanding of the Earth Continent. Generally speaking, the Earth Continent was quite different from the Xuanhuang Continent.
Although there were many academies and sects in the Earth Continent and the academies attached great importance to the cultivation of disciples, similar to the Xuanhuang Continent, in terms of geographical divisions, the Earth Continent was much more complex than the Xuanhuang Continent.
It might be because the continent was too vast, so it was divided into six big Celestial Realms, which were managed by the six big Golden Celestials of the Earth Continent! Every Celestial Realm was very vast in area. The one Xu Que was located in belonged to the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm. The Zhen Yuan Daoist was in charge of that Celestial Realm. His cultivation had already reached the peak of a Golden Celestial and his strength was unusually formidable.
The tall woman and Xiao Ru were also in that Celestial Realm and they seemed to have powerful backing. According to Xiao Ru, the tall woman was the Second Miss from the Wind Chamber of Commerce. The president’s precious daughter, her name was Feng Lanwu.
And the Wind Chamber of Commerce also had a long history in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm; it was tens of thousands of years old and a famous brand. Even the leader of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, Zhen Yuan Daoist, had personally visited the Wind Chamber of Commerce!
Xu Que felt that the Wind Chamber of Commerce wasn’t that simple. But he remembered the conversation between the tall woman and Xiao Ru and he suddenly smiled and asked, “Since your Wind Chamber of Commerce is so strong, why do you need to run out personally to find an Equipment Forging Grandmaster?”
“Because…” Xiao Ru was tongue-tied.
The tall woman named Feng Lanwu had a trace of defeat flash in her eyes as she shook her head slightly. “Fellow cultivator, that’s embarrassing. Xiao Ru only mentioned the past glory of the Wind Chamber of Commerce. Now it’s no longer famous and has fallen to a small local chamber of commerce.”
“I get it, Miss Feng, you don’t need to be so depressed. After all, time is cruel. If you look back at how many major forces have disappeared throughout history, Wind Chamber of Commerce, after so many years, is still towering like a giant today; it’s already a magnificent task!” Xu Que smiled.
Xiao Ru burst out with a chuckle, “I thought you were a fool just now, and I didn’t know you could talk like that; turning bad things into good things!”
Feng Lanwu smiled, looked at Xu Que and said, “Thank you so much for your kind words, but fellow cultivator you have exaggerated your praises!”
“You’re welcome! You’re welcome!” Xu Que immediately waved his hand and said modestly, “I’m just telling the truth. An old and famous Chamber of Commerce like your Wind Chamber of Commerce must have gone through numerous crises, numerous adversities, and emerged stronger after each crisis. This is a test! Of course, unlike our Exploding Heavens Faction, it’s only 1 million years old. Since its establishment, it hasn’t encountered any difficulties. We’ve enjoyed all the glory along the way and have been strong all the time!”
“Ah?” Xiao Ru and Feng Lanwu’s smiles stuck on their faces and the corners of their lips twitched slightly. After all that lengthy speech, that fellow wasn’t saying anything courteous; he was merely waiting for the time to praise his own faction! But what was that Exploding Heavens Faction? They had never heard of it before and it already had a history of 1 million years?
Suddenly, both their faces had looks of extreme doubt; they affirmed that Xu Que must be exaggerating.
Even in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, some powerful and ancient forces had only a history of more than 100,000 years. That dude mentioned an uncommon faction’s name and claimed it to have a history of 1 million years. It seemed that he was boasting and fooling them!
“Uh, don’t look at me like that. I’m telling you the truth. There’s no need to lie to you. Every one of us in the Exploding Heavens Faction is an elite and a proud son of heaven!” Xu Que said as he slapped his chest.
“Psshh!”
Xiao Ru burst out laughing, “Elite and a proud son of heaven? Does that include you?
“You’re right!” Xu Que smiled and said, “I know what you’re laughing about, but it doesn’t matter. Believe it or not, it was merely a blunder just now. I’m actually very strong. If I’m serious, I can beat both of you in one move!”
But in fact, Xu Que himself wondered why he was struck unconscious with a single move!
When the Magic Art of Feng Lanwu was about to hit him, he didn’t feel any danger. Even the power of the Magic Art was similar to those cultivators in the Human Celestial Stage in the Lost Land; it was very ordinary. But when the Magic Art fell onto his Dark Heavenly Sword, he was struck unconscious!
So it wasn’t that Feng Lanwu was too strong, but that Xu Que seemed to have some problems after he was injured; he was weaker now! He had just regained consciousness and hadn’t had the time to find out why.
But for Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru, Xu Que was really weak. Whether or not he was knocked unconscious from a single blow, he was still a cultivator in the Initial Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage. He was a little inferior as compared to Xiao Ru who was in the Medium Stage of the Half Celestial Stage. Naturally, it was impossible to believe his words.
Someone in the Initial Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage could defeat a person in the Medium Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage and a person in the Medium Stage of the Human Celestial Stage at the same time? If that wasn’t bragging, then what was?
“Fellow cultivator, not far ahead is Li Qiu City. We’re entering the city and taking the Teleportation Spell to go home; we’d better let you off the Flying Boat here. We’ll leave our next encounter to fate!” Just then, Feng Lanwu said.
Her Soul Strength had always been in control of the Flying Boat, as she was about to reach Li Qiu City, she had to let Xu Que go first.
Although the Wind Chamber of Commerce was in a decline, she was talented in cultivation, beautiful in her looks, and had a reputation among the younger generation of cultivators. If someone saw a man in her flying boat, there would inevitably be gossip. And if that happened, Xu Que would surely be under the watch by those lurking in the dark too.
Hence, whether it was for her innocence or for Xu Que’s safety, she felt that she should keep a safe distance away from Xu Que; it could save them from a lot of trouble!
But Xu Que was unhappy to hear that.
If he hadn’t been injured, he would have left straightaway, but now he realized that his body might have problems. Moreover, he had just reached the Earth Continent and he wasn’t familiar with the place. In case of any trouble, he was afraid that he couldn’t even win over someone in the Half-Celestial Stage! If that happened, it wasn’t as simple as being bullied; he might die at any moment!
Hence, before finding out the reasons for his weakness and restoring his strength to its peak, he felt that he shouldn’t be left alone. Moreover, Feng Lanwu’s Wind Chamber of Commerce seemed to have some status and strength in the area. If he could be shielded under them temporarily, it would be the most appropriate and safe choice.
However…which excuse should he use to stay?
“Wait a minute!”
Suddenly, Xu Que seemed to have an idea. The corner of his lips raised and he looked at Feng Lanwu with a smile and said, “Miss Feng, I heard you mentioned before, you’re looking for an Equipment Forging Grandmaster?”
“Yes, we’re not going to hide from you. It concerned the life and death of me and the future of the Wind Chamber of Commerce. It’s a pity that we’ve searched countless places in recent years, and we’re still empty-handed!” Speaking of that, Feng Lanwu couldn’t help but looked defeated and slightly disappointed.
“Oh, Miss Feng, you’re in luck today. I’ve good news for you!” Xu Que straightened his chest immediately, and his smile was akin to a man of great sanctity.
Subsequently, in the confused expressions of Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru, he confidently said, “In fact, I happen to be an Equipment Forging Grandmaster!”
