Ultimate Scheming System

“F*ck! He’s too awesome!”

“The main vine of the Divine Farmer Clan’s Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines was unexpectedly taken away by Xu Que’s father.”

“Is it true?”

“It’s absolutely true. At that time, I was in the Tianxiang Celestial Realm’s Mystery Land, and I saw him carrying a giant Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine as big as a mountain. He swaggered with it, and he seemed quite intimidating.”

HISS! “Isn’t the Divine Farmer Clan done for? The Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine was the asset they depended upon to rise in the past years. So, won’t they decline after losing the main vine?”

“It’s quite normal. Great sects and factions have risen and declined in the Heaven Continent since forever, and I have already gotten used to it.”

“But, the crux of this is that it occurred suddenly. Xu Que’s father is too fierce. He carried it away decisively after he stated that he would do so. That giant Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine was so colossal, and when he carried it on his shoulder, it seemed like he was carrying a great mountain. The Divine Farmer Clan members were probably so infuriated that they nearly vomited blood.”

“Nothing can be done about this. If you possessed the same power as he does, you could go ahead and carry it too.”

SIGH! “I’m so envious.”

“He is probably a big shot.”

Many cultivators in all the lands of the Heaven Continent discussed this matter. Some of them were shocked, some were deeply moved, while others expressed their longings and esteem.

When the Great Celestial Realms’ representative factions received news about it, they were all stunned.

The Divine Farmer Clan was the representative faction of one of the 14 Celestial Realms, the Taiyin Celestial Realm, and even though its power was lower than the Ziwei Celestial Realm’s Heavenly Palace Academy and the Sage Sect, it still had the same status as they did, and they were all apex factions on an equal footing.

However, in a single night, the Divine Farmer Clan’s most important asset had been taken away by Xu Que’s father. This matter inflicted heavy damage on the Divine Farmer Clan, and it would probably shortly lose its position as the Taiyin Celestial Realm’s representative faction.

Most factions’ upper-echelon members became wary due to this.

Xu Que’s father was able to make a great faction that was on an equal footing to them decline, and no one was able to ignore this.

Even though most people believed that they didn’t have any conflicts with Xu Que, they were still quite nervous. A person who could determine great factions’ prosperity was a thorn in the side of all the factions’ big shots.

Soon they were meeting in the Sage Sect.

All the people who wielded power like the elders, the deacons, and even the Sect Leader were assembled in a hall.

If one observed the hall, one would find that the number of powerhouses at the Daluo Celestial and Taiyi Celestial Stages here was a dozen or more, and this team of people would be able to stun a crowd wherever they went.

But now, their brows were furrowed, and they wore grave looks.

An old man with an elder’s position spoke in a deep voice, “According to our ancestors’ teachings, the golden age is close at hand. If we haven’t guessed wrongly, Xu Que’s father is surely a Celestial King or a higher being. This is why I think that we must open that gate in advance to ensure our sect’s safety.”

“It’s out of the question. The ancestors’ teachings implied that we mustn’t open that gate before ascertaining the arrival of the golden age. It’s currently just Xu Que’s father alone. So, how can we ascertain that this is a golden age,” a middle-aged man stood up and opposed him.

The old man sneered as he answered, “Xu Que’s father possesses great power and can do whatever he wants in the Heaven Continent. This is enough to ascertain that the Way of Heaven’s laws have changed, and the golden age is close at hand. If we don’t open that gate now, how long will we still wait?”

“I believe that we must still wait. After all, it isn’t our Sage Sect alone that possesses great hidden power, and the people who should be anxious are the Divine Farmer Clan. Even their Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines were stolen, and they surely won’t wait for their demise without doing anything. They will probably open their gate in advance, and we have to wait and observe them for a while,” the middle-aged man spoke once again and rejected the old man’s suggestion.

BANG!

The old man slapped the table and stood up. He shouted sharply, “What nonsense! If we really followed your instructions, it’s our Sage Sect that would be waiting for its demise.

“Do you want us to wait until Xu Que’s father has persecuted our Sage Sect and forced us to open that gate to seek help? I don’t believe that we should wait. The world has already changed, and we should strike first to gain the initiative. This is the wisest choice our Sage Sect can make.”

“Elder Li, I believe that you have groundless fears. If we don’t make trouble for Xu Que’s father, why would he come over to make trouble for us and persecute us?” The middle-aged man spoke with a composed look. The old man was anxious and irritated, while the middle-aged man was carefree as if everything was within his control.

“Hee, hee. Groundless fears? Elder Ming, did you forget that you tried to wed by force the Heavenly Kismet Being, Jiang Hongyan? Jiang Hongyan is the daughter-in-law of Xu Que’s father, and I don’t believe that he will let go of this,” the old man sneered and spoke.

The crowd present here observed the arguing two elders and kept their silence.

The Sage Sect’s Leader in the highest seat wore an expressionless look and kept his silence. He didn’t obstruct the debate between the old man and the middle-aged man, and he was even delighted by this occurrence.

He had his own goals. A sect shouldn’t be united, and an internal competition was necessary so that they could stimulate each other and raise their power further. The sect’s overall power would become greater through this argument.

This was why the Sect Leader observed the two elders’ debate without saying anything, and even the other people didn’t cut into the conversation. After all, this situation wasn’t occurring for the first time, and the crowd had already gotten used to it.

“What does he have to bother us for? The Divine Being of Taoist Fetus emerged in my Ming Family, and it’s a physique rarely seen throughout the ages. What is rarer is that it appeared in the same era as the Heavenly Kismet Being. We have acted as a middleman between them and tried to connect them by marriage. This is all so that more powerful bloodlines appear among later generations and so that our Sage Sect could become stronger. The whole World of Cultivators will benefit from it. So, did we make any mistakes?” The middle-aged man, Elder Ming, spoke righteously.

In his eyes, the union of the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus and the Heavenly Kismet Being was a matter of course, and nothing was wrong with it.

“Strengthening the Sage Sect and bringing benefits to the whole World of Cultivators? Elder Ming, why are you uttering those excuses here. Do you take everyone here for fools?

The old man pointed his finger at the middle-aged man and smiled. He said angrily, “Everything you have done to try to make the Divine Being of Taoist Fetus marry the Heavenly Kismet Being is for your Ming family. I will warn you here that it’s better for you to give up on this idea. If Xu Que’s father would just settle accounts with you, it would be quite fine. But someone with his character will likely direct his anger to the whole Sage Sect.”

“Elder Li, your thinking is too old-fashioned, and you have a conservative approach when handling affairs. You don’t conform to the Heaven Continent environment.

The middle-aged man shook his head and continued, “I always felt that there was nothing alarming about this matter. We haven’t recently mentioned the marriage union with the Heavenly Kismet Being, while Xu Que’s father is now carrying the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Main Vine, and he’s probably looking for a place where he could store it. So, why will he come here and cause trouble for us?

“Moreover, even if he really comes here, what will happen at worst? Our Sage Sect is one of the Heaven Continent’s overlords. Does he really dare to ignore the influence of the people behind that gate and shed all pretense of cordiality with us? This is impossible.”

After the middle-aged man spoke, he revealed a mocking smile. He was mocking Elder Li’s cowardice, ignorance, and his inability to look at the greater picture.

“Report!”

All of a sudden, a sharp shout was transmitted from the outside of the hall, and a Sage Sect disciple rushed over from a distant place. He shouted with fright, “Reporting back to the Sect Leader, elders, and deacons. Xu Que’s father has come over to pay a visit.”

BANG!

In an instant, the muffled noise of a heavy object falling echoed out in the silent hall.

The middle-aged man who was mocking Elder Li fell off his chair onto the ground. His face was filled with alarm and disbelief.

“How…how is this possible? Does that crazy old man really dare to come here?”
