Chapter 1542 This Tool Was Here!

Xu Que had long imagined what this version of Xuanyuan Wanrong from thousands of years ago would look like. After all, since this version would be from thousands of years ago, he felt fairly certain that she would be a little girl, still innocent, or a bashful young lady.

As for her appearance, Xu Que thought that there wouldn’t be much of a change. After all, the Xuanyuan Wanrong he knew still looked as if she was in her 20s.

Nevertheless, seeing the Xuanyuan Wanrong from thousands of years ago at this instant, Xu Que felt a bit dumbfounded. He had been completely wrong.

This version of Xuanyuan Wanrong as a young person had the same cold demeanor that she had in the present. At first glance, it was clear that she had no regard for the lowly feelings of mortals. She seemed pretty much akin to an icy mountain.

And, on the contrary, it was her looks that were different. She had more of an infantile softness about her. To Xu Que’s surprise, her exquisite face still seemed to have a little baby fat. It wasn’t that she appeared fat, but that she had just an adorable touch of being chubby.

TSK.

Xu Que couldn’t help it. He felt an acute sense of regret.

And that was because the Xuanyuan Wanrong from this period was already a Celestial King cultivator. If she would’ve been a little weaker, he could’ve pinched her cheeks now, or even placed both of his hands on her face and caressed it repeatedly...

Ah, speaking of caressing (pronounced “rou” in Chinese), Xu Que was reminded of Xiao Nuo again.

Xu Que’s thoughts were scattered, so that he didn’t have to pay too much attention to Xuanyuan Wanrong.

Yet, this didn’t affect Xuanyuan Wanrong’s emotions one bit. She remained where she was, as calm as ever, sizing Xu Que up.

She had been here from the very beginning, even before the middle-aged man had arrived.

Initially, when she saw that Xu Que had cast a restriction spell at the bottom of the hill, she had already decided to herself to condemn him.

Seeing that he’d had the audacity to cast a restriction spell and lie in ambush at the foot of the Heaven Palace Sect, he clearly had no respect for the Heaven Palace Sect. Furthermore, she, Xuanyuan Wanrong, had always had zero tolerance for despicable acts like these.

But after the middle-aged man had appeared, Xuanyuan Wanrong didn’t step forward to stop Xu Que. She could tell that the middle-aged man had come with an intention to kill, and that his target was Xu Que.

This had led her to an understanding that the two of them, Xu Que and the middle-aged man, weren’t any good. This was a dog-eat-dog show.

Thus Xuanyuan Wanrong had prepared to leave. She definitely had no plans to concern herself with such a pointless matter. Yet, because of Xu Que’s restriction spells, she had been given no choice but to stay.

She was stunned by Xu Que’s capabilities. It was incredible that a cultivator who was only at the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven stage could be this powerful and strike with so much conviction. The palm print that Xu Que had summoned with ease was particularly impressive. Even she had felt pressured by it.

Generally speaking, when it came to celestial magic of this strength, the Heaven Palace Sect, as the greatest powerhouse in the Heaven Continent, should possess it too. Yet, she had never seen a palm print of this might in the multiple years she had spent at the Heaven Palace Sect.

Thus, after the battle had ended, Xuanyuan Wanrong couldn’t help but ask Xu Que where he had learned that palm print technique.

But alas, seeing that the young man didn’t respond, Xuanyuan Wanrong thought that he was unwilling to reveal the answer to her so she didn’t ask him any further questions.

She turned around and spoke to him indifferently, “Before I go, please lift your restriction spell. Oh, and don’t come to the Heaven Palace Sect anymore. We don’t welcome people like you.”

Xuanyuan Wanrong didn’t have any intention of getting back at Xu Que with her words. Instead, she said them solely because she couldn’t stand Xu Que’s act of lying in ambush to kill someone and then stealing their recruitment pass.

She also knew full well that in the world of cultivators, no one could be completely clean or upright in accomplishing the many difficult tasks that they encountered every day.

Even if there were many people like Xu Que in the Heaven Palace Sect, or even people who were more morally corrupt, she didn’t care because she hadn’t run into them.

But this time, she had caught Xu Que in the middle of his evil doings, so she had given him a warning to make sure he would give up on attending the recruiting conference of the Heaven Palace Sect.

At first, Xu Que continued to be slightly dazed, but upon hearing Xuanyuan Wanrong’s words, he instantly raised his brows and rolled his eyes. He was speechless.

It turned out that the Xuanyuan Wanrong from thousands of years ago was just as annoying as she was in the present.

HMPH! “Lass, I don’t like what you just said. Do you think I care what you or the Heaven Palace Sect thinks?”

Pointing at the foot of the hill, Xu Que said with rancor, “Even if I, Xu Que, were to starve to death, to die outside from the cold, or to be forced to jump from here, I would never go to your Heaven Palace Sect.”

Xuanyuan Wanrong stopped in her tracks, turned around to look at Xu Que, and said expressionlessly, “If you don’t care about entering the Heaven Palace Sect, why would you lie in ambush here and kill someone to get their recruitment pass?”

“Couldn’t I sell it?” Xu Que replied, glaring at her.

Xuanyuan Wanrong thought about it for a while and nodded. “Sure, you can!”

She felt that it didn’t concern her anymore if Xu Que had only intended to sell the recruiting pass and hadn’t planned to enter the Heaven Palace Sect.

“I hope you’ll practice what you preach. I don’t wish to see you at the Heaven Palace Sect!” As soon as she’d finished speaking, she turned around to leave. Her silhouette faded rapidly as she disappeared.

“Don’t worry about it! You won’t see me for sure. I, Xu Que, have always lived up to my word.” Xu Que yelled toward her vanishing silhouette.

Following that, a wide grin made its way onto Xu Que’s face again.

“If I, Xu Que, don’t go, then surely I can cause the heavens to explode and help Xue Zhiqian to go?

“And if I can’t do that, then surely I can blow up the heavens to help Zhang Wuji to go?

“Hee, hee, hee, how naive! There are so many people I can help by blowing up the heavens!”

Soon, Xu Que got rid of the restriction spell that he had cast on the surroundings and made his way toward the mountain forest nearby.

.....

Before long, an elegant man wearing white robes emerged from the mountain forest.

Dressed in the finest clothes with a jade crown on his head and the good looks to match, he exuded sophistication and elegance from head to toe. If it had not been for the brutish smile on his face, anyone would have believed that this man was a learned and refined scholar.

Nevertheless, it was still Xu Que.

To Xu Que, this matter of changing his identity, appearance, and aura was an easy task that could be accomplished by the use of a Disguise Puppet. There was no need to even use divine arts like the 72 Polymorphic Transformations.

At first, there hadn’t been a need for him to change his identity, but now he no longer had a choice since he had been seen by Xuanyuan Wanrong. Now he had to keep a low profile for a while in order to have a chance at entering the Heaven Palace Sect. After that, he would try to find the right time to gain a ton of Acting Tough Points from the System so that he could break the restrictions set by the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi and successfully leave this memory world.

“Wondrous hope is right in front of me!”

With that, Xu Que’s spirits lifted, and he took huge strides in the direction of the stone steps at the entrance to the Heaven Palace Sect.

However, he had only taken a few strides when from afar came a loud boom, and there was a wave in the magic field that resonated throughout the mountain forest.

HMMM? “Are there people fighting?” Xu Que was taken aback, but, shortly after, he began to rejoice. It appeared that there were many people who were lying in ambush in the vicinity of the Heaven Palace to murder and steal recruitment passes!

A thought came to him, and a majestic aura covered him from head to toe. With a slight wriggling of his ears, he activated the divine hearing art.

With the divine hearing art activated, one could enjoy unfettered, divine hearing anywhere and everywhere. It was up to the one who owned the art whether or not they wanted to listen to all the sounds in the world.

Xu Que focused intently on listening to the tussle from afar. Immediately, he could hear clearly the sounds of a conversation taking place.

“D*mn it! You beasts are despicable, and yet you still dare to call yourselves disciples of the Heaven Palace Sect? Your Holiness despises you!”

HMPH! “Mighty King, you have committed countless evil doings. In the last ten years, you have embezzled numerous objects from the Heaven Palace Sect’s Treasure Cove more than 100 times, stolen more than ten celestial artifacts, and more than 100 celestial arts. Quick, surrender!”

“Nonsense! Your Holiness has never done such lowly things. This is slander! He who has a mind to beat a dog will easily find a stick!”

“How dare you argue? Die!”

.....

At this point, there was another BOOM created by a magic art that sounded again.

Xu Que’s eyes widened. He was appalled.

“Your Holiness? Mighty King?

“D*mn it, wasn’t that Buttface?

“F*ck, just as he’d expected, this tool was also here thousands of years ago!
