The sky of the South Continent was covered by dense clouds. Lightning flashed in the sky from time to time.

　　Rumble–!

　　At this time, along with deafening thunder, a gap appeared in the cloudy sky. Xu Que jumped out from the gap like a drowned mouse. His lips were covered by blood.

　　“Damn! This Void Interface Spell is way too unstable! If my physique hadn’t been strong enough, I would have been crushed in the Void!” Xu Que said angrily. The interface point established by the Void Interface Spell was very unstable and couldn’t match those naturally formed interface points!

　　When he was in the Void Tunnel, he was protected by the Space-Breaking Spell. However, he was still almost torn to pieces by the violent wind in the Void. Luckily, he managed to exit with the assistance of the System’s Automatic Recovery Function.

　　Luckily, he chose the South Continent as his destination, which was not far away. If he had chosen the Xuanzhen Continent or the places which were even farther, he might have been killed in the Void! However, when Xu Que saw the familiar earth and Spiritual Qi of the South Continent again, he felt so relaxed.

　　Finally, I am back alive!

　　One year in the cave means ten years in the outside world! This was so difficult for me!

　　Xu Que opened his Soul to search for Liu Jingning and Buttface immediately.

　　Boom!

　　Suddenly, a cloud of mighty power descended from the cloudy sky. Then Xu Que was unable to move. A strand of light landed on his body.

　　“Holy sh*t! What is going on? Is that woman also here?” Xu Que’s expression changed abruptly. If that woman was also here, he would be in big trouble!

　　Whoosh!

　　The Sword Spirit also dashed out from the broken sword and formed his body with black fog. Then he said in surprise, “The woman is not here! Wait! This light…it seems it is the Heaven-Sent Blessed Light!”

　　“The Heaven-Sent Blessed Light?” Xu Que was surprised and didn’t understand the Sword Spirit’s words.

　　Swish!

　　At this time, the light shrank rapidly and became a strand of dazzling light beam in front of Xu Que.

　　“What? What the hell is this?” Xu Que looked at the glowing object in front of him with puzzlement. When the dazzling light on that object dimmed, its real appearance was displayed. It was a book-size stone tablet. He saw two names were printed on the tablet. One of these two names was Xu Que!

　　“Damn! Why is my name on it? Who is this Xuanyuan Wanrong?” Xu Que asked with puzzlement for he didn’t know what that object was.

　　The Sword Spirit beside him trembled a bit suddenly. Then he shouted in surprise, “The Taiyi Heaven Book! How…could this be?”

　　The Taiyi Heaven Book?

　　Hearing that, Xu Que’s eyes got wide..

　　Is this the Taiyi Heaven Book? No way! I remember this is something from that woman! How could it follow me?

　　Wait! Why is my name on it? Also…I have a vague feeling that this stone tablet seems to connect with my mind! This feeling is really hard to describe!

　　Xu Que was surprised and he turned to the Sword Spirit. The Sword Spirit fixed his fiery-red eyes on the stone tablet so it looked as if two strands of red ghostly light were fixed on the tablet.bWhen he realized Xu Que was looking at him, he trembled a bit. Then the Sword Spirit sighed and shook his head, “Xu Que, you are doomed!”

　　“What the hell?” Xu Que asked.

　　What do you mean by saying that? This Taiyi Heaven Book appeared in front of me from nowhere. Why am I doomed?

　　“Forget it! Let me tell you something about this Taiyi Heaven Book first…”

　　The Sword Spirit shook his head and told Xu Que about the history of the Taiyi Heaven Book as well as the one chosen by the Heaven and the condition to inherit the Taiyi Heaven Book—the emotional imbroglio between a man and a woman, which was roughly the same as Buttface’s had been before.

　　Hearing this, Xu Que’s face turned dark instantly. Now, he knew his current situation. It turned out the Taiyi Heaven Book was not something good, but a large scourge! The one chosen by Heaven was actually fooled by Heaven!

　　“Now, you know what I mean, right? That woman was driven to the wall by you. So, she had to choose you as her cultivation companion. In this way, she could force you to save her. Otherwise, if she dies, you will also be killed at the same time!” The Sword Spirit said as he looked at Xu Que. A strand of sympathy even appeared in his fiery red eyes.

　　Xu Que raised his eyebrows, “Holy crap! Don’t look at me like that! I don’t believe that! Does this mean she will die if I commit suicide now? Damn! You can never be more vicious than me!”

　　“Are you going to commit suicide?” The Sword Spirit was stunned with disbelief.

　　“No! It was just a metaphor!” Xu Que twitched his lips.

　　He would never commit suicide! He still had a lot of good days to enjoy, why would he do that? If he was brave enough to kill himself, why wouldn’t he have the courage to live on?

　　“Humph! Anyway, she stole 500 years of life-span from me! She couldn’t defeat me easily!” Xu Que snorted.

　　The Sword Spirit said, shaking his head, “500 years are definitely not enough! That woman used the Time Shuttle, so that she could sleep and reach Nirvana State in it. Tens of thousands of years passed by in the outside world equal to several thousand years in the Time Shuttle! I guess she knew her life-span was not long enough, and she doesn’t want to wake up too early. So she used this thing and wanted to wait for another golden age!”

　　Then the Sword Spirit said, looking at Xu Que, “If you didn’t steal the Time Shuttle, she could stay in it for 500 years, which means you will have 5,000 years in the outside world. In this way, you may have a glimmer of hope! But you stole the Time Shuttle, which backfired on the situation!”

　　“Damn! If I had known this earlier, I never would have taken this f*cking thing!” Xu Que cursed immediately. “In order to annoy her, I stole this Time Shuttle. However, it is totally useless to me! If I perform cultivation in it for one year, others will have finished ten years of cultivation in the outside world! It is totally counterproductive!”

　　“No, it’s not what you think!” The Sword Spirit said, waving his hands, “As one of the ancient divine items, the Time Shuttle could magnify and reduce time! In other words, it could allow you to spend one year in it while ten years have passed in the outside world. Also, you could stay in it for ten years while only one year has passed in the outside world! All these functions can be realized by it! However, this is just a replica! The real Time Shuttle could allow you to stay in it for 10,000 years while only one year has passed by in the outside world!”

　　“What?” Xu Que was totally shocked.

　　This thing is a Best-grade Celestial Artifact! How could it be a replica?

　　And the real Time Shuttle could allow its user to hide in it for 10,000 years when one year passes by in the outside world!

　　Holy sh*t! It is so amazing!

　　But this replica is also quite extraordinary! At least I can hide in it for ten years while only one year has passed by in the outside world! Wait! In this way…

　　Suddenly, an idea occurred to Xu Que. He lit up his eyes and said with a chuckle, “Sword Spirit, you’ve made a mistake! Since this Time Shuttle could magnify the time ten times, my cultivation in it for 500 years will be equal to 5,000 years of cultivation in the outside world, right?”

　　The Sword Spirit shook his head directly, “You think too much! You are not powerful enough to activate it! Although it is just a replica, it is still quite extraordinary and precious! The user will need a lot of True Core Strength and Time Shuttle to activate it. No, I should say a bulk of True Core Strength and Taoist Connotation!”

　　“A bulk of? Please describe that more specifically!” Xu Que raised his eyebrows and said in a recalcitrant manner.

　　“I guess…it equals to 100 times of the True Core Strength and Taoist Connotation you used to set up that Void Interface Spell!” After thinking it over for a while, the Sword Spirit replied earnestly.

　　100 times?

　　Xu Que said, waving his hand, “I have stayed in the World of Cultivators for so many years. And I never used this kind of thing to enhance my strength! The Time Shuttle? Heh, heh, it is just a piece of rubbish! I will be invincible after performing cultivation for 500 years. At that time, I don’t believe I can’t defeat that woman!”

　　After saying that, Xu Que put away the stone tablet. Then, he turned around and dashed toward the Mystery Land in the South Continent.
