Chapter 1123: Kid, I

Hit it from above?

Xu Que was stunned—could something even a Sky-Breaking Talisman couldn't solve really be resolved by brute force?

Er Gouzi explained: "This Divine Venerable knows of a place—the weakest point between the two continents—called a Boundary Point. I originally planned to descend through that Boundary Point, but was ambushed en route, and burdened by Duan Jiude, this dead weight, I had no choice but to change course. Eventually, through this Divine Venerable's wisdom, I successfully descended via the Heaven and Earth Passage, so I never made it to that Boundary Point!"

"So according to you, you can break the Boundary Point and reach Tianzhou?" Xu Que asked skeptically.

Though Er Gouzi's flesh body was incredibly strong, Xu Que didn't believe such a Boundary Point could be shattered by brute force alone!

"This Divine Venerable can certainly do it—but recently I've been unwell, unfit to act. You must do it! Use that King of Acting Cool Fist—definitely works!" Er Gouzi said with supreme arrogance.

Xu Que immediately rolled his eyes—Er Gouzi's attitude was clearly because he couldn't break the Boundary Point.

But Er Gouzi mentioning the King of Acting Cool Fist reminded Xu Que of the King of Arrogance Leg.

"Maybe we really should try it!" Xu Que's eyes narrowed slightly—perhaps the King of Arrogance Leg was the key to breaking the Boundary Point. If it worked, the problem of reaching Tianzhou would be solved!

But before that, he still had to search every corner of Xuanhuang Continent and the Six Great Immortal Domains of Earth Continent.

If Duan Jiude's guess was right, Zixia Fairy must have been the first to enter the Half-Immortal Realm, triggering the entire Southern Continent Secret Realm's ascension. She might now be somewhere in Lin Xian Realm.

At that time, in the Southern Continent Secret Realm, there were Su Ling'er and Su Xiaoqi, Lady Ya and Su Yunlan—even Xiao Rou was inside.

So many people couldn't vanish without a trace. Even if he had to turn Lin Xian Realm upside down, he had to find them all!

Thinking of this, Xu Que swept his gaze toward Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, smiling warmly: "Alright, I've got a task for you two."

…

That day, all major factions from Zhen Yuan Immortal Realm on Earth Continent mobilized, evacuating from Seven Star Academy and Seven Sons City.

At this moment, the advantage of numbers became clear: even though Xuanhuang Continent was vast and dotted with countless kingdoms, under Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude's direct leadership, over a hundred thousand people from Earth Continent's Zhen Yuan Immortal Realm were scattered across the land, and even the kingdoms of Xuanhuang Continent were forced to contribute forces to aid the search.

Within just a few days, they turned over more than half of Xuanhuang Continent.

Meanwhile, Xu Que also ransacked Seven Star Academy and the Ming Family, taking every Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that could replenish Immortal Yuan.

In his current state, as long as the Green Lotus World remained unrepaired and the Chaos Green Lotus hadn't completed three growth cycles, he couldn't restore his peak condition.

Even after seizing all the treasures from Seven Star Academy and the Ming Family, Xu Que still felt it wasn't enough!

The amount of Immortal Yuan he needed now was enormous—neither Seven Star Academy nor the Ming Family could satisfy it, not even all the Spirit Medicine in the entire Li Kingdom.

"What a bottomless pit!" Xu Que sighed helplessly—this Chaos Green Lotus truly wasn't something an ordinary person could afford to raise!

But if he truly could raise it, this Chaos Green Lotus might become an invincible existence. At that time, "Only I Am Supreme, throughout Heaven and Earth" wouldn't be impossible!

What were Tianzhou, the Holy Sect, or the Heavenly Palace Academy, anyway?

Xu Que stood in Seven Star Academy, his deep gaze fixed on the sky, murmuring softly: "Hongyan, wait for me! Those people will all regret what they've done!"

"Young Friend Xu!"

At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

Xu Que turned around. Zeng Dafoye walked forward with a smile, holding a string of Buddha Beads.

After several days of rest, Zeng Foye's previous injuries had mostly healed. Thanks to some Spirit Medicine sent by the Ming Family, his cultivation had recovered from the Half-Immortal Realm back to Human Immortal Realm Early Stage, and his foundation was far more solid than before—truly turning misfortune into fortune.

"Great Buddha Master, thank you for your help this time!" Xu Que immediately bowed and smiled.

If not for Zeng Foye's righteous intervention, Lin Yuxi would have been harmed by Ming Cheng. Xu Que naturally owed him gratitude.

After all, in the Immortal Cultivation World, people like Foye were rare!

"Young Friend Xu, you're too polite. Back then, if not for that Hamburger you gave me, I wouldn't have been able to ascend here. So this favor I must repay. But honestly, Young Friend Xu, the one you truly should thank is that little girl," Zeng Foye smiled.

Xu Que waved his hand—a Hamburger meant nothing to him. What mattered was Zeng Foye still had this sense of gratitude.

As for Lin Yuxi…

Xu Que didn't know how to face her. Should he thank her? How should he even begin?

"Young Friend Xu, this is the letter that little girl asked me to give you," Zeng Foye said, handing over a letter with "For Xu Que" written on the envelope.

"A letter for me?" Xu Que froze, confused.

"I suspect you two have a story. I don't know when she gave me this letter—I woke up to find it outside my door. Just now I asked around; that little girl had already left Seven Star Academy without a word," Zeng Foye said calmly, sounding wistful—as if he'd once experienced something similar.

Lin Yuxi left?

Xu Que was stunned—this was the last thing he expected.

These past few days, he'd sent Er Gouzi and others out, stayed behind to repair the Green Lotus World, while Lin Yuxi remained in closed-door cultivation. So he hadn't disturbed her—but he never imagined she'd just vanish without saying goodbye.

"Tear!"

Xu Que ripped open the envelope, eager to see why Lin Yuxi had left.

But as soon as he opened it, he froze—the paper inside was completely blank.

"This…"

Xu Que paused, then shook his head with a faint smile.

Lin Yuxi didn't know what to say to him—just as he didn't know what to say to her.

He had truly let go of the past, but he never expected Lin Yuxi would come from Earth. He didn't know how she got here, but the journey must have been grueling. And after finally meeting, before he could even ask her everything, she left again.

"Young Friend Xu, before she left, I saw her standing outside your door, hesitating. But you weren't inside. She waited a long time, then finally didn't knock—just turned and walked away," Zeng Foye said with a smile.

"Did you talk to her?" Xu Que asked.

Zeng Foye nodded: "When she left, she saw me and spoke a few words."

"What did she say?"

"She said she once did something wrong to you—pushed you away. Now she wants to bring you back to her side, but realizes the distance between you is too great," Zeng Foye said, sighing: "She also said she wanted to seek a memory of Creation—it seems tied to her Inheritance. But I didn't think much of it then. I never imagined she wouldn't ask you for help, but left alone!"

Xu Que listened, then shook his head again with a smile: "That… is exactly her style."

He understood Lin Yuxi well—this girl was still as stubborn and proud as ever.

This experience probably made her feel too weak. And given her nature, she'd never willingly stay behind as a burden under protection. She was a woman who hated being a ornament.

"Sigh… really…" Xu Que shook his head.

Lin Yuxi had spirit, but this was naive—Xuanhuang Continent was far too dangerous for a woman at the Nascent Soul Stage to grow alone.

"Foye, please convey a message to the Dean of Seven Star Academy: have him send people to search for Lin Yuxi. That girl isn't strong and shouldn't have gone far, but do not disturb her; simply protect her from the shadows!" Finally, Xu Que looked at Zeng Foye and said.

"Very well!" Zeng Foye smiled, nodded in agreement, then turned and left.

A few days later, the Dean of Seven Star Academy personally rushed over to report to Xu Que that their people had found Lin Yuxi and successfully arranged for her covert protection.

Then, after another half-month, Er Gouzi, Duan Jiude, and the others who had gone out finally returned.

Dust-covered and weary, Er Gouzi rushed into Seven Star Academy; upon seeing Xu Que, the first phrase out of his mouth was, "Kid, there's news about the Southern Continent Secret Realm!"
