Chapter 1305

Damn it, you scared us!

Many Zha Tian Bang members looked at Duan Jiude with black lines on their heads, completely speechless.

Can a phrase like "something terrible is about to happen" be used so casually?

You actually got a finger cramp while calculating a hexagram; how is that "something terrible is about to happen"?

"Quick, come over and help this old man stretch my finger; this hexagram seems to have hope!" Duan Jiude urged anxiously.

Several Zha Tian Bang members, upon hearing this, immediately stepped forward and quickly helped Duan Jiude stretch his fingers.

Duan Jiude didn't stay idle either; while enjoying the finger massage, he began to calculate with his other hand.

Soon, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Holy crap, this is actually a supreme hexagram; it seems there is no more crisis for us on this trip!" Duan Jiude exclaimed.

Everyone was stunned; in a situation like this, there can still be a supreme hexagram?

Mo Junchen and that huge sea turtle were still locked in battle, neither able to overcome the other; it was completely a stalemate.

Here, only Duan Jiude and Liu Jingning, the two experts who had stepped into the Immortal Realm, remained, and Liu Jingning had just been heavily injured by a single blow.

Looking at the other side, not to mention the million-strong Sea Race army, there were three or four Sea Race generals at the Earth Immortal level alone. Even more terrifying was that they had a Heavenly Immortal level commander with extraordinary combat power, who had heavily injured Liu Jingning the moment they appeared.

With such a disparity in strength, how could there still be a supreme hexagram?

"Hahaha, everyone can rest easy, breathe a sigh of relief. This old man knew I hadn't guessed wrong; that kid and Er Gouzi definitely aren't dead and will surely come out to save the day!" Duan Jiude completely relaxed, trusting this hexagram very much.

At the very least, since inheriting this secret art, he had never calculated wrong; as long as there was a dangerous situation, it could be divined.

Now that he had divined a supreme hexagram, combined with his previous guess about the tombstone, he felt that it was highly likely Xu Que and Er Gouzi were still alive, and he immediately regarded Xu Que as the key to resolving the situation.

And with this deduction, everything was very logical. Their side lacked someone who could contend with a Heavenly Immortal level expert, but as long as Xu Que came out, even if the Sea Race brought a few more Heavenly Immortal level experts, they would definitely be beaten to a pulp!

"Duan Jiude, are you sure... they are still alive?" Liu Jingning, who couldn't care about recovering from her injuries at this moment, looked at Duan Jiude in surprise and asked.

Duan Jiude smiled all over his face and nodded: "That's right, based on this old man's understanding of those two, it's impossible for them to die so easily. For example, that tombstone—you only need to calm down and think about it to know it's not that kid Xu Que's style!"

"Just based on the tombstone?" A trace of disappointment immediately appeared on Liu Jingning's face.

She shook her head slightly: "I've also seen the words on the tombstone; they indeed don't look like his usual style. But just based on this, it doesn't prove anything. And that ice coffin underground, you've seen it too—can he really escape the fate of the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book?"

Liu Jingning really didn't want to accept this fact, but everything was right before her eyes, making it impossible not to think in that direction.

Especially recalling Xu Que's unusually calm performance when he insisted on entering the Buried Immortal Valley alone, it made her even more uneasy. Added to that was the prophecy Xu Que encountered in the Heavenly Continent, and the residual ashes in Xuan Yuan Wanrong's ice coffin!

All of this added up to the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the death prophecy, and the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book, all driving Xu Que toward a dead end.

Faced with such ironclad evidence, Duan Jiude's statement that "the tombstone is not Xu Que's style" was indeed very unconvincing. Even though everyone hoped to think in a positive direction, they couldn't deceive their own hearts.

There is a big difference between blindness and trust!

"Eh, your reasoning is wrong! Even if the tombstone isn't enough to prove that kid is fine, this old man's hexagram should be convincing, right? In our current situation, unless that kid Xu Que comes back, who else could turn this situation into a supreme hexagram?" Duan Jiude said firmly.

"This..." Liu Jingning was momentarily speechless, and the chill on her face eased slightly.

Because this time, Duan Jiude's hexagram indeed gave her a glimmer of hope.

In the current situation, facing that peak Heavenly Immortal level commander of the Sea Race, only Xu Que could truly contend with them.

"Haha, rest assured, this old man is full of confidence this time. All these clues are pointing in a positive direction." Duan Jiude looked calm and composed, hands on his hips, chest out and head high, recovering his usual arrogance and pride.

Many Zha Tian Bang members instantly cast looks of admiration toward him.

The Eight-Headed Snake also said with a face full of worship: "Elder Duan, you are too amazing!"

"Keep a low profile!" Duan Jiude waved his hand hypocritically, smiling broadly: "This old man can even know what will happen next. Once the Sea Race launches an all-out attack and we suffer heavy casualties, at that critical, dangerous moment, that kid Xu Que will make a powerful entrance and kill his way back domineeringly!"

"Wow, is he that amazing?" Everyone exclaimed in great admiration.

"A supreme hexagram can divine so many things; it's hard not to be amazing!" The Eight-Headed Snake also had a face full of shock.

Duan Jiude, however, continued to wave his hand hypocritically, shouting "keep a low profile" while enjoying everyone's praise.

However, that divination art could actually only divine a supreme hexagram; it couldn't really divine everything. For example, how the subsequent situation would develop was all something Duan Jiude was making up.

At the same time, at the distant Spirit Eye position.

Thousands of meters deep underground, in a narrow, pitch-black cave!

A palace still stood within it, shining with intense brilliance. The incomparably rich Immortal Yuan spiritual energy had actually condensed into a huge Immortal Lake.

There was no water in the lake; it was all dragons twisting their bodies, all condensed from Immortal Yuan spiritual energy.

Xu Que sat cross-legged in the center of those dragon-shaped Immortal Yuan spiritual energies, like a rock, never having moved.

Forty-nine days had passed, and his fleshly body had long since been torn apart. The dense, small wounds from before had now been torn into huge ones, and he no longer looked human.

Under the impact of such terrifying Immortal Yuan spiritual energy, even a Small Success Saint Body would find it hard to endure!

"Holy crap, this kid is truly a monster! Even this Divine Venerable couldn't endure it, yet he's actually been able to hold on until now!" Er Gouzi was currently standing outside the palace, looking at Xu Que with a face full of horror.

More than ten days ago, this idiot had fled from the palace. Perhaps it was because it really couldn't endure it, or perhaps it was afraid of the pain, so it simply gave up on cultivation and slipped out.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong had been guarding the spot, not leaving, always watching Xu Que's situation.

At this moment, her heart had already surged with countless waves of shock and disbelief.

It had been a full forty-nine days. The life force of the entire Buried Immortal Valley, plus the million Sea Race creatures, had all been sacrificed by the Heaven and Earth Furnace and refined into this majestic Immortal Yuan, condensed here at the Spirit Eye.

Xu Que had been constantly impacted by these violent dragon-shaped Immortal Yuan spiritual energies, yet he had always held his ground, unwilling to interrupt his cultivation.

Watching Xu Que's fleshly body being torn apart day after day, each wound being ripped open, Xuan Yuan Wanrong's heart twitched violently.

The pain felt by a fleshly body being torn apart by Immortal Yuan spiritual energy was by no means comparable to the pain of being torn by a blade.

The point was that after the wounds were torn open, they were still crazily absorbing Immortal Yuan into his body.

This was like rubbing salt into a wound, pain upon pain!

This was also a scene Xuan Yuan Wanrong could never have imagined. Xu Que could actually be so ruthless to himself, completely different from the impression he had left on her in the past!

From a shameless youth who acted like a street hooligan to suddenly becoming a determined youth with super strong perseverance, the transformation was truly too great!

"Thump!"

At this moment, a crisp sound rang out from Xu Que's dantian.

Following that, his entire aura suddenly rose by a large margin!

"Holy crap, incredible, this kid has broken through again! Damn, he's actually going to continue!!!" Er Gouzi cursed, incomparably envious.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong remained silent, continuing to watch Xu Que, but deep in her eyes, there was a trace of softness and approval, and a beautiful arc lifted slightly at the corners of her exquisite lips!

This child was not meant to stay in a pond; when the wind and clouds meet, he will turn into a dragon!

【Good morning, brothers and sisters of the Zha Tian Bang!】
