Chapter 1294: Brother Que Is Awesome

Five Elements Mountain, Water Yuan Kingdom!

Near Snow City, in a barren suburban area.

A woman in a Daoist robe, her face veiled, walked slowly by.

She suppressed all her aura, her presence so faint she could nearly be ignored!

Even though she concealed her face, the magnificent figure beneath her loose Daoist robe was incredibly alluring, yet along her entire path, whether cultivator or mortal, all acted as if they saw nothing, continuing on their way—nothing changed because of her presence.

This was a realm, far stronger than when she had left years ago—true masters do not stand out like a crane among chickens, but blend seamlessly into the world, into Heaven and Earth, as still as a speck of dust, even standing beside others without being noticed.

The Daoist robe woman walked on like this, observing all around her, her beautiful eyes gleaming as if lost in memories of the past.

Finally, her gaze settled on a mountain cave long sealed shut—beneath this soil, she had once met a man named Zhi Zun Bao.

He had once been a minor figure, yet with her, in an illusion realm, he had lived an entire mortal life—decades of illusion, fleeting as clouds, yet leaving an indelible mark in her heart.

"In the past, now, gone and never to return…"

"Red leaves, long buried in dust…"

"Beginning and end, never changed…"

"You drift beyond the clouds, on the horizon…"

"Bitter Sea…"

Her crimson lips parted gently, singing a melody in a melodious, ethereal voice.

It was the song the boy had sung underground back then—the ethereal, penetrating feeling she could never forget!

But now, everything had changed.

She had left for years, endured countless hardships, and finally found an opportunity to come here, all to find that boy and rekindle their past bond.

Unfortunately, he was gone.

The Daoist robe woman's heart trembled slightly—she returned to Five Elements Mountain, her powerful Divine Soul sweeping over everything, yet never detecting even a trace of the boy's aura.

There were only two possibilities: either the boy had left many years ago, or he was already dead.

Analyzing these two possibilities, the Daoist robe woman chose the latter.

After all, the boy's strength had always been low—how could he possibly have left Five Elements Mountain, let alone the Four Continents?

So, he… was truly gone!

"Zha Tian Bang, where are you all…" Her eyes flashed with a hint of coldness; since she could not find Zhi Zun Bao, she could only seek out Zha Tian Bang members to inquire—no matter if he was dead or alive, she would find him, and at all costs, even defy Heaven itself, she would change this fate.

She had the confidence—and the ability—to do so!

…

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Wasteland Burial Valley of Immortals of the Four Continents.

Er Gouzi had already shattered the Black Jade Stone House, yet inside still lay a coffin, covered entirely in Talismans and bound with thick Black Iron Chains extending deep into the ground.

This was beyond Er Gouzi's expectations—and surprised Xu Que as well!

"What's going on? Why did he add this coffin? Isn't that redundant?" Xu Que exclaimed.

After all, according to Er Gouzi, the Restriction on the Black Jade Stone House was already strong enough—no one else could break it easily. Why would that Sea Race Great Ability have added another coffin, covered in Talismans and Restriction Chains, inside it?

"Damn, I get it now—the old bastard concentrated the Spirit Eye's location underground, channeling the terrain's power through these Black Iron Chains directly into his body, so he wouldn't need to spend time cultivating—he'd emerge fully invincible!" Er Gouzi pondered for a while, then exclaimed in shock.

"There's such a trick?" Xu Que was stunned.

This method was indeed awesome—lying in a coffin for ten thousand years, then emerging not only without losing cultivation, but actually becoming stronger—insane!

"Pfft, this small trick? I could do it too—I just don't bother," Er Gouzi sneered, lifting his proud head.

"Nobody's asking if you can do it—I just want to see how you're going to handle this coffin!" Xu Que glared at Er Gouzi.

He didn't have much time—if he couldn't extract Xuan Yuan Wanrong before the Heaven and Earth Furnace activated, he'd definitely die here.

But Er Gouzi's plan was to first retrieve the Sea Race Great Ability's Flesh Body—and now this body was protected by a pile of Talismans and Black Iron Chains, impossible to extract quickly!

"Hmm… about this issue, the Divine Venerable needs time to think carefully!" Er Gouzi immediately cupped his chin, feigning deep thought.

Xu Que nearly slapped him, but as his gaze fell on the coffin, a sudden flash of inspiration struck his mind!

The King of Arrogance Leg could break Restrictions—then… these Talismans were also a form of Restriction, weren't they?

"Hey, Er Gouzi, move aside—the King of Acting Cool has a bold idea to try!" Xu Que suddenly grinned, shoving Er Gouzi aside.

"What are you doing?" Er Gouzi froze, confused.

But before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Que suddenly raise his right leg, glowing with Golden Beam, and kick straight at the coffin.

"Holy shit!"

Boom!

Accompanied by Er Gouzi's cry of shock, the coffin emitted a heavy, muffled crash.

The dense cluster of Talismans flared with Spiritual Light, then instantly dimmed—the entire coffin cracked open with several deep fissures.

"Whoa!" Er Gouzi sucked in a sharp breath, staring at Xu Que in awe: "Damn, kid, your leg is insane! Did you learn this at Shaolin Temple?"

"These Talismans are just Restrictions—and after such a long time, they've lost most of their original power. Besides, with my King of Arrogance Leg and Small Achievement Saint Body, if I can't break them, what kind of King of Acting Cool am I?" Xu Que sneered arrogantly.

In truth, he'd only been testing it—he never expected such a huge effect.

After all, the Talismans on the coffin were extremely high-level—even the current system version couldn't break them with Acting Cool Points.

Yet who could have imagined—the King of Arrogance Leg combined with Small Achievement Saint Body was so powerful, one kick shattered the Talismans and cracked the coffin open!

"Looks like this is finally secure!"

Xu Que smiled calmly, raised his leg again, and delivered a King of Arrogance Leg infused with One Hundred Thousand Acting Cool Points, kicking the coffin with full force!

Boom!

The entire coffin shattered on the spot, exploding into a pile of wooden debris—a dark, sooty figure tumbled out, rolled twice on the ground, and remained motionless.

Er Gouzi stared at Xu Que with awe and admiration, giving a thumbs-up: "Brother Que, you're legendary—digging up ancestral graves and kicking open coffins, number one in the Kingdom!"

"Get lost! Pick up this thing and find Xuan Yuan Wanrong!" Xu Que didn't have time to joke—he frowned at the dark lump on the ground.

Even someone as knowledgeable as he could not tell, at this moment, what species this blackened, human-sized seafood lying on the ground actually was!
