Ultimate Scheming System

Four hours later, under the guidance of Lin Yuxi, the three successfully arrived at an ancient and dilapidated cave.

Lord Zeng put up several restrictive barriers at the entrance of the cave with the last bit of his Celestial Core Power. However, that kind of Concealing Spell wasn’t very useful. If any cultivators or Demonic Beasts saw it, they could immediately see through it. He merely wanted a little more protection.

“Senior, thank you for your help!” Just then, she finally remembered her manners and Lin Yuxi thanked Lord Zeng. In all the terrifying incidents, she had almost forgotten her etiquette.

Lord Zeng waved his hand, shook his head, and grinned bitterly, “You don’t have to thank me. I owe him a favor. But…what happened to him? Why is he like this?”

“I…I have no idea why he’s like this. I have been searching for him for many years. I only found him last night. Last night…” Lin Yuxi shook her head, and she told Lord Zeng about her encounter with Xu Que last night.

After listening, Lord Zeng fell into silence. He sized up Xu Que again, and realized that the more he looked at him, the odder he seemed. He was now in a totally senseless state, with dull eyes, like a walking corpse. But faintly, there was a slight fluctuation of Celestial Core Power in his body that flickered from time to time. Without careful observation, one couldn’t see it at all, as if a little Celestial Core Power emerged but disappeared immediately. It was very strange.

“Forget it, take care of him first, and I’ll heal myself here!” Eventually, Lord Zeng was unable to fathom his condition. The pressing issue for him was to recover from his injury.

Lin Yuxi naturally had no objection. She nodded and sat down beside Xu Que.

Inside the cave, it was soon quiet.

But they didn’t know that Xu Que’s body was bustling with noise and excitement.

Since Xu Que’s battle in the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, he had been severely wounded by King Equipment Refiner Liu and only escaped with the Celestial Grade Escape Emblem into the Void Tunnel. Although he wasn’t caught by King Equipment Refiner Liu, the explosion of the Terrain Obliterating Spell also affected the Void Tunnel.

Xu Que’s body was ready to fall apart while he was inside the Void. He was badly cut and was in a bloody mess. His Dantian was torn to pieces, his Celestial Core Power was leaking, and he even fell out of the Void Tunnel created by the Celestial Grade Escape Emblem. That was extremely dangerous in the Void Tunnel. The Void was a boundless realm. Nobody knew how massive it was. When Xu Que fell out of the Void Tunnel, he might have fallen into some extremely remote place or even continued to drift in the boundless Void forever. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to drift into the Void Tunnel of the Xuanhuang Continent, where he continued to drift for two years. During those two years, he had no chance to wake up at all.

After his Dantian was severely injured, the tiny Green Lotus awakened and started its third growth stage. It drew in all the Celestial Core Power from his body and, at the same time, it drew away his Mind Sense. It then released the Spiritual Qi of the Green Lotus to protect his body from being cut by the strong wind and razor-sharp Qi in the Void.

During the third growth stage of the Green Lotus, the version 10.0 of the System couldn’t do anything to help. Although the automatic recovery ability was activated, it wasn’t enough to meet the demanding needs of the Green Lotus for Celestial Core Power. But, in the past two years, under the dual effects of the System and the Green Lotus, Xu Que’s injury had started to recover, but his Mind Sense was entirely trapped in the Green Lotus.

At this moment, Xu Que was in the World of the Green Lotus and he was up the creek without a paddle. Nobody came to his rescue no matter how he screamed.

He was aware of everything that happened outside. He could see everything including Lin Yuxi and Lord Zeng. But no matter how he shouted, no one could hear him.

“F*ck! Isn’t this disastrous? How can I be trapped inside a Green Lotus in my own body? If anyone knew about this, they’ll be amused to death!” Xu Que was extremely troubled and vexed.

His present body was formed by his Mind Sense. It was similar to his physical body. He could hop and jump in the World of Green Lotus, but he just couldn’t leave. Over the past two years, he had wandered around the World of Green Lotus and he had explored every corner of the World of Green Lotus. He found that the place was like an island, very huge but dark outside. If he tried to take a step into the darkness, he would be pushed back immediately. He had tried a lot of ways, but he couldn’t break the boundary restrictions. It was like playing a kind of online game; he couldn’t move forward any more when he walked to the edge of the map.

“System, have you worked it out? How can I get out?” Xu Que shouted and asked the System. He had activated the System a long time ago, but the System needed time to check and detect. But Xu Que didn’t expect that the detection would take two years, with so far no result.

Ding! “Because the data of the Chaotic Green Lotus is too massive, it’ll take some time to continue the search!” The System responded.

“The same reason again. Can’t you see that my body has almost been killed? Release me so that I can Act Tough outside!” Xu Que cried helplessly.

All of his Soul Strength was trapped in the World of Green Lotus. His physical body was lacking consciousness. But when he had been in his Form Synthesis Stage, he had merged his Taoist Body into a Little Gold Clone and placed it between his brows.

Nowadays, the reason why his physical body could still aimlessly move around was because of the Little Gold Clone.

Little Gold Clone was lacking consciousness, it acted purely according to Xu Que’s personality and behavioral habits, such as wanting to eat when he was idle, and his bottom line of “neck can be ruptured but hairstyle must be in shape!”

Ding! “There’s a successful detection! The Chaotic Green Lotus has entered its third growth stage and the World of Green Lotus was a product of it. The world belongs to the Host and is controlled by the Host. But because the third growth stage of the Chaotic Green Lotus hasn’t ended, the Host can’t control this world for the time being!” Suddenly, the System prompted.

Xu Que was puzzled after listening to the explanation. He had long guessed that the Chaotic Green Lotus had given rise to the World of Green Lotus, and that the world can be controlled by him. But he didn’t expect that because the third growth stage hadn’t ended, he couldn’t control the world and even his Mind Sense couldn’t leave.

So what was going on?

This meant that until the third growth stage of the Chaotic Green Lotus was over, he would be trapped in the World of Green Lotus!

“D*mn it, I don’t have time to wait now. You have to let me out so that I can finish the third growth stage by swallowing medicinal items!” Xu Que shouted immediately.

If he didn’t get out, it would be impossible for his physical body to initiate the exchange of medicinal items with the System. If he didn’t exchange medicinal items, then his physical body could only rely on the insufficient Celestial Core Power provided by the System’s automatic recovery ability to slowly supply the b*stard Green Lotus. Who knew how long that would take!

Ding! “According to the current situation of the Host, the System has planned the best escape plan for the Host, as follows…” The System prompted again. At the same time, a pop-up window appeared in front of Xu Que and there was a list of words.

Xu Que read it all and he stared with his eyes wide open. He gasped, “Hiss, there’s such a bold and absurd procedure? Good. Well done!”

..…

At the same time, in the faraway Earth Continent of the Zhen Yuan Celestial Realm, in the Assembly Hall of the Litian Academy, the Sect Leaders of all the major forces were gathered, and a serious meeting was being held.

In the Assembly Hall, Qin Xiangtian sat in the second position on the left, while the first position was occupied by a dog. It was Buttface. The first position on the right was occupied by Duan Jiude. The two had successfully penetrated the inside of the forces. They relied on their absurdity, together with revealing some of Xu Que’s achievements, coupled with their identity of coming from the Heaven Continent. Eventually it let Qin Xiangtian and the others believe that they were the Vice Faction Leader and Elder of the Exploding Heavens Faction, and they won the respect of everyone. Of course, the most critical reason was that Buttface took out the photos taken with Xu Que in the past. It was irrefutable proof.

“Something terrible is happening, I have checked again, besides his good luck with women, Xu Que has a serious tribulation. I’m afraid we need to head over to the Xuanhuang Continent to save him!” Duan Jiude shook his head and looked very serious.

Bam!

Buttface immediately pounded on the table and stood up, as if he was acting from a strong sense of duty, “We must go, Brother Que was a respectable man before he died…bah no, Brother Que must be saved. Your Holiness hasn’t eaten stinky tofu for several years. This time, everyone must go all out to save the Faction Leader!”

“This…Vice Faction Leader!” Just then, Qin Xiangtian smiled bitterly and spoke, “As far as I know, the overall strength of the Xuanhuang Continent isn’t very high. It’s not exaggerated to say that would be easy, with the power only from the Litian Academy, to take down the whole of the Xuanhuang Continent. Hence, I don’t think it’s necessary to take everyone over. This time, I’ll follow you two over and personally welcome the Faction Leader back. What do you think?”

Bam!

Buttface pounded the table once more and yelled loudly, “You know nothing, before Brother Que died… bah no, Brother Que has all along loved the display of splendor, a grand parade. This time he is in trouble in the Xuanhuang Continent. Everyone must go to create a grand and spectacular scene. Remember, everyone has to go, whoever dares not go, he’s not fit to tell the others that he’s from the Exploding Heavens Faction in the future!”
