  “Exactly! He is Ji Yuan, who is your so-called Emperor!” The woman nodded her head and said as she looked at Xu Que thoughtfully, “In fact, he is also your father-in-law!”

  “He is nothing!” Xu Que snorted immediately. Even Jiang Hongyan didn’t want to accept him as her father! In the face of such hatred, how could he call that guy father-in-law?

  To his surprise, he had stolen that God-realization Tree together with Jiang Hongyan. Technically, Ji Yuan couldn’t reach the Half Celestial Realm. At least, he shouldn’t have been able to reach that realm in such a short time. How could he rise to immortality in several years?

  “Before coming to the Four Great Continents, we had heard a lot about you and the rest of the people of the Exploding Heavens Faction. But it is quite weird that…” The woman said as she looked at Xu Que in puzzlement, “For several years, the three academies have been hunting down members of the Exploding Heavens Faction. However, the legendary elites like Xiao Yan, Li Bai, and Joker didn’t show up! You are the first one we’ve found!”

  

  “Humph! How could the elites of the Exploding Heavens Faction show up easily? Normally, we are extremely busy! I have just returned to the Four Great Continents after spending several years finishing my other businesses! However, the rest of the members of our faction won’t be bothered for I can handle all of you alone!” Xu Que snorted proudly.

  The woman was totally shocked by his words. When they had just arrived in this place, they felt disdain whenever people in the Xuanzhen Continent and the Four Great Continents touted the geniuses of the Exploding Heavens Faction. For them, no matter how powerful those geniuses were, they would be forgotten if they could be killed in the cradle!

  When she saw Xu Que, who was one of those geniuses, at this time, she was totally shocked. As a cultivator at Level 5 of the Crossing Calamity Stage, he had two Celestial Artifacts and could use them skillfully. One genius like him would startle the entire world. More geniuses like him would bring great disorder to this world! The most horrible point was that all these geniuses came from the Exploding Heavens Faction!

  “OK, since you have been to the Xuanzhen Continent, you must have learned a lot of things there. Just tell me how Ji Yuan rose to immortality! As far as I know, it’s not possible for him to rise to immortality in such a short time normally!” Xu Que asked as he looked at the woman.

  The woman nodded her head, “Exactly! Originally, this world was sealed. Normal cultivators couldn’t reach the Half Celestial Realm. Several years ago, a man broke the bottleneck of his cultivation stage and attracted the Perfection Heavenly Tribulation! The Heavenly Tribulation destroyed all seals and helped him to reach the Half Celestial Realm. So, he rose to immortality! After that, all the cultivators in the Xuanzhen Continent, the Four Great Continents, and the Xuanling Continent were free from the influences of those seals and could rise to immortality!”

  

  “If my guess is not wrong, is the one who destroyed the seals with the energy of the Heavenly Tribulation Lord Zeng?” Xu Que asked.

  The woman said by nodding her head, “Yes, it was him! Although we also wondered how he did that, he left earlier than Ji Yuan. We were not able to find out his secrets! As for Ji Yuan, after so many years’ accumulation, he could definitely rise immortally to the World of Near Celestial after the disappearance of those seals. However, when they reached the World of Near Celestial, they would just be small fish in a vast ocean because of their limited cultivation achievements.

  Hearing that, Xu Que got a general understanding of how these “Celestials” arrived in this world.vThe most direct reason was that Ji Yuan’s Void Tunnel passed through the three academies’ Mystery Land coincidentally, which caused the accident and everything that had happened after that.

  Ji Yuan was able to rise to immortality because Lord Zeng brought benefits to the World of Cultivators by breaking the seals. Lord Zeng could rise to immortality because Xu Que gave him a New Orleans Grilled Drumstick Burger, which helped him to break the bottleneck of the summit of the Great Vehicle Stage. Therefore, Xu Que was more or less be responsible for this outcome. However, members of the Exploding Heavens Faction never take responsibility! So, Xu Que shirked all his responsibilities to Ji Yuan.

  “Humph! I don’t care what will happen to Lord Zeng! That Ji Yuan really chose a bad time to rise to immortality. His kismet is terrible! So he could only bring scourges to others! Only his death would benefit society!” Xu Que said coldly.

  If he went to the World of Near Celestial in future, he would definitely kill that old bastard!

  

  The woman kept silent as she looked at Xu Que calmly. Apparently, she was not interested in Ji Yuan. If Xu Que had no more questions, she would ask him when he would let her go.

  Xu Que sneered and said coldly, “Don’t look at me in this way! I still have more questions! OK! Here is the second question! You said you are hunting down members of the Exploding Heavens Faction and you would get score points for it. Just tell me about this! Who the hell is so bold to plot against our Exploding Heavens Faction?”

  “I don’t know!” The woman said, nodding her head, “I knew you would ask this! But I don’t know the answer! We are just the apprentices of the academies. We attended this activity for the trial, which is continued even in this world! This activity is co-held by the Masters of the three academies! Therefore, the rule of getting score points by killing members of the Exploding Heavens Faction was also established by them!”

  “Heh, heh, your answer doesn’t satisfy me!” Xu Que said, shaking his head with a cold smile.

  The woman said anxiously, “I really don’t know! It is not necessary to cheat you! This is my Score Point Plate! Whenever we kill members of the Exploding Heavens Faction, score points will be added to our plate. Our Masters are not powerful enough to do that. I guess they were ordered to do so by a big shot!”

  “What?” Xu Que took the plate from the woman directly. He found five short horizontal lines on it, which just passed the acceptance line. In other words, each apprentice of the academies should kill five members of the Exploding Heavens Faction to reach the acceptance line! The point was this score point plate could identify members of the Exploding Heavens Faction, which was an awesome function that could not be realized by cultivators at the Human Celestial Realm! After all, even Xu Que couldn’t identify his faction members if they didn’t wear black robes!

  

  This is weird! What kind of rule is used in making this plate? Xu Que murmured to himself as he looked at the score point plate with puzzlement.

  Buttface and Duan Jiude also walked over curiously for this item also puzzled them. They enrolled faction members casually without any rules. After the enrollment, they only gave those members a black robe respectively and nothing else! However, if they identified those faction members according to their black robes, it still made no sense. When faction members who didn’t wear black robe were killed, those apprentices of the academies could also get score points!

  “Little brat, this is quite creepy!” Buttface said vigilantly.

  Duan Jiude also said, nodding his head, “This is quite unusual! I’m afraid something big will happen soon!”

  “Exactly! I have had ominous presentiments recently. Could it be that we have been targeted because of our excellence?” Buttface said.

  Xu Que waved his hand for he didn’t want to waste his time in meaningless guesses.

  He looked at the woman and said as he pointed one finger up with a faint smile, “This is the last question! What are you looking for in the Celestial Burial Valley and the rest of the Deathtraps?”

  “We are not looking for anything!” The woman shook her head and said seriously, “The owner of the Celestial Burial Valley ordered us to go into that valley!”
