When the cultivators saw the helicopter roaring past them, they started to grimace.

“It’s over! We have to return empty-handed!”

“Let’s just go home!”

“He’ll arrive at the first island with that helicopter, and there will be nothing left when we get there.”

“Don’t worry. No matter how fast he is, he can’t take away all the Living Holy Water!”

“Exactly, don’t forget we still have two months. If he takes away all the Living Holy Water now, the Living Holy Trees will still continue generating it. We could stay on the islands for ten to twenty days till enough of it regenerates.”

“Hah-hah, that’s a good idea! At least we won’t come back empty-handed!”

After reaching a tacit agreement, tse cultivators continued to move forward with their ships. They all, in fact, had sinister plans. They knew well enough that even if they stayed on the islands for several weeks, the Living Holy Water generated from the Living Holy Trees would definitely not be enough to supply all of them.

It would likely be enough for only one family or sect.

When the time came, a fierce battle would be inevitable!

...

The helicopter, piloted by Xu Que, flew for several hours. The sky had become pitch black, and was full of shiny stars. The moonlight was so beautiful!

Sitting in the copilot’s seat, Liu Jingning stared at the night sky with a smile as if she was really enjoying the beautiful scenery. Duan Jiude and Buttface were both asleep and snuggling each other in the rear cabin of the helicopter.

“Little Queque, if we continue to cultivate, will we be able to pluck down the night stars with our hands one day?” Liu Jingning asked softly, here eyes trained on the lights in the sky.

“I don’t know if we will be able to pluck the stars at that point, but I’ve heard that someone strong enough would be able to smash stars with a punch!” Xu Que replied seriously.

Liu Jingning turned around and rolled her eyes at Xu Que. “Stone-hearted little brat, why would we smash the beautiful stars?”

“There are so many beautiful things in this world. However, people only cherish them once they are lost!” Xu Que exclaimed as his long-lost life on Earth came to mind.

Liu Jingning was stunned by Xu Que’s words. “Have you lost anything beautiful?” She watched him with her beautiful eyes, sensing his loneliness.

“Yes!” Xu Que nodded with a faint smile. “I lost my hometown, my family, my friends and those exhausting, meaningful days. But I’m doing well now. I have new friends and I’ve acquired new strength. Sometimes I miss my family and hometown, which is always filled with a spring breeze.”

Xu Que spoke of his attachment to his past life under the temptation of the night sky. In his past life, he was an honors student with a beautiful younger sister, a bunch of good friends and a beautiful girlfriend. It was a pity that he had been knocked into this world in an inexplicable car accident.

When he had first arrived in this world, he was quite curious about everything here. However, he couldn’t help but become homesick over time.

It was just like a vacation. At first, the person is excited about everything. After a while, they become homesick.

The only difference was that people on vacation could go home easily. It was not easy for Xu Que, who was on an extremely permanent vacation, to return to Earth.

“What?” Xu Que was surprised when a soft, small hand touched his face gently. The warmth in the palm made him quite comfortable.

“If you are homesick, just find some time to go back to your hometown!” Liu Jingning said as she looked at Xu Que gently.

This was the first time she had seen Xu Que look so lonely. She thought Xu Que was missing his hometown and friends in the Five Elements Mountain. There was tenderness and even a strand of mother’s love in her heart.

“Right! I will go back sooner or later!” Xu Que nodded seriously.

He knew he was not able to go back to Earth even if he reached the Form Synthesis Stage. However, according to his cultivation speed, he would realize his goal one day!

He decided to go back to Earth to call on his family and friends when they were no longer young.

“If you go back, please take me with you. I like beautiful things and also want to have a look at your hometown, which is always filled with a spring breeze!”

Xu Que smiled and turned to her. “Little sister, your words remind me of a saying in my hometown.”

“What saying?”

“Spring breezes in queue is not as good as sleeping with you...”

“...You are asking for a good smack!”

“Ouch, ouch! It hurts! Let go, don’t pinch my handsome face...”

...

In the grey dawn of the next day, they could vaguely seen an island in the distance.

The island was small, about as large as a basketball court, and it was aso quite empty. A small tree in the middle of the island stood out very prominently.

“We’re nearly there!” Liu Jingning said, staring forward.

Xu Que nodded. As the helicopter approached the island, Xu Que could see the small tree clearly, which surprised him a bit.

The small tree was covered by flourishing branches and leaves. Each green leaf was dazzling. Radiance fell from them to the ground like moonlight. The trunk was golden as if it was gold-plated, which was quite amazing.

Moreover, a crystal-clear lake was under the tree. It seemed the small tree had been planted in the water when seen from afar.

However, Xu Que knew that this lake was formed by the Living Holy Water mentioned in the rumors, which was actually the pool of radiance falling from the green leaves.

“I smell the fragrance of the Living Holy Water!” Buttface howled as he suddenly awoke.

Beside him, Duan Jiude also sat up abruptly and pushed away an unknown hard object behind his back. He looked down through the helicopter’s porthole. His eyes shined excitedly. “Great! After 100 years, I can enjoy tea brewed with the Living Holy Water again.”

“Brew tea with this thing? Good idea! Let’s just take the Living Holy Tree away and plant it somewhere else!” Xu Que said excitedly.

Duan Jiude and Buttface tossed their disdainful eyes at Xu Que.

“Little brat, you’re too greedy!” Buttface howled. “This Living Holy Tree is something not included in the category of the five elements. Since its seed falls to the ground, nobody can move it one bit!”

“If they could be moved, I would have taken them long ago for myself,” Duan Jiude sneered.

Even Liu Jingning also shook her head slightly. “According to the historical records, many years ago, several powerhouses at the Crossing Calamity Stage tried to take the Living Holy Tree away. However, all their efforts were in vain!”

“Cultivators at the Great Vehicle Stage, even my Master, couldn’t move the Living Holy Tree a bit, let alone anyone at the Crossing Calamity Stage!” Duan Jiude shook his head and continued, “I’ve heard that the Living Holy Trees stem from Living Holy Seeds that fell from the Spiritual Realm, which are not in the category of the five elements. Only celestials can move them. In addition, one could obtain a divine material by refining the Living Holy Trees, which is a main material to refine the Space Breaking Spell.”

“The Space Breaking Spell?” Xu Que was surprised for he had never heard of such a spell.

Duan Jiude grinned. “Heh-heh, you certainly don’t know of this spell for even I have never seen it performed. However, my Master used to say this kind of spell appeared in the ancient time. It could tear apart the void and let the user roam the vast starry sky!”

“What?” Xu Que was greatly shocked.

Tear apart the void and roam the starry sky?

Does it mean I could go back to Earth with the Space Breaking Spell? Xu Que’s heartbeat quickened. It was exciting for him to think he might be able to go back to Earth.

He was so desperate to go back that no matter how slim the chance was, he still wanted to try!

“Those Living Holy Trees are mine!” Xu Que shouted.

“Wake up! Stop your daydreams!” Duan Jiude suddenly splashed cold water on the distracted man. Xu Que ignored him and directed the helicopter to the island to land.

He was very excited. The Living Holy Water and the Living Holy Tree were right in front of him. One could be used to revive Xiao Rou, the other one could help him return to Earth! This was definitely double bliss!

Whoosh!

Xu Que turned himself into a strand of light and dashed toward the lake in the middle of the island before Buttface, Duan Jiude and Liu Jingning.

Ding!

“Living Holy Water detected. Is the Host going to extract it?” The System’s warning tone came in before Xu Que had time to react.

“Yes!” Xu Que replied without hesitation. Meanwhile, he looked at the Living Holy Tree as he considered how to take it away.

Boom!

Suddenly, the lake under the Living Holy Tree raised straight from the ground as if it had been turned into a transparent water dragon.

“Damn! Little brat, what have you done?” Buttface and Duan Jiude shouted in surprise.

Growl!

Almost at the same time, the water dragon formed by the Living Holy Water roared and tried to attack Xu Que rampantly.

Xu Que was surprised. As he was about to retreat, the System’s warning tone came in. “Extraction of the Living Holy Water has failed. The System was blocked. Activate the Revenge Function!”

What the hell? The Revenge Function?

Boom!

Dazed, he heard a loud sound.

The next moment, the Living Holy Tree was uprooted to the sky by a tremendous force.

“Holy sh*t!”

“Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!” Duan Jiude and Buttface screamed.

“How...could this be?” Liu Jingning couldn’t believe her eyes.
