Chapter 1411: Reunion
"This..."
"The Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone, it was stolen?"
"This isn't stealing, it's clearly a daylight robbery!"
"Then how are we supposed to select the new Heavenly Chosen One?"
Suddenly, the crowd in the arena erupted in an uproar.
Xu Que's sequence of actions was smooth and flowing, taking only a split second. By the time everyone reacted, this guy was already carrying the stone and had disappeared.
Many of the female disciples of Yaochi were also dumbfounded. Bai Cailing was also filled with astonishment and a bitter smile; she never expected Xu Que to pull such a stunt. Now that he had truly offended the Heavenly Palace Academy to death, would there still be a place for him in the Heavenly Continent?
The many powerhouses of the Heavenly Palace Academy already had gloomy expressions, their rage soaring!
"Damn it, he actually got away!" A Nascent Soul stage expert had majestic killing intent in his eyes, permeating his entire body, and cracks spread silently across the ground beneath his feet.
"This kid's methods are endless. He actually has a way to change his appearance and aura, deceiving everyone; even we couldn't detect it." Someone frowned, their expression grave.
"If we can't get the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone back, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"We must find him. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we absolutely cannot let him go!" Xuan Yuanhong said in a deep voice, her face icy.
At the same time, in the Ziwei Immortal Domain, several thousand miles away from the Heavenly Palace Academy.
Ripples appeared in mid-air, and as a brilliant radiance flared, a figure dashed out, still carrying a giant stone. It was none other than Xu Que.
"Xu Que, you are..." Fairy Zixia had been waiting here for a long time; the two had planned their retreat and agreed to meet here.
But seeing Xu Que carry the entire Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone out, she was momentarily stunned.
"Hehe, if I don't take this broken stone away, how can I prevent them from continuing to search for the Heavenly Chosen One? It's better to be safe than sorry!" Xu Que chuckled and landed on the ground.
"Bang!" The ground immediately caved in.
"You plan to carry it back like this?" Fairy Zixia frowned slightly. Even if Xu Que changed his appearance and aura, carrying such a large boulder would easily attract attention, and his whereabouts would certainly be exposed.
"I want to put it away too, but there's no way!" Xu Que replied with a bitter smile.
The weight of this Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone was beyond imagination. With his Minor Success Saint Body and the power bonus from the system's retaliation mechanism, moving this boulder still felt incredibly strenuous.
Xu Que had also tried to store the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone into the system storage space, but the system refused. For a divine stone containing such a vast amount of divine power, the system's current level could not store it.
However, besides the system storage space, the Green Lotus World in his own dantian was also a place for storage.
But since even the system didn't dare to store it, Xu Que didn't intend to try it rashly. He couldn't even control the small world derived from that Chaos Green Lotus, so how could he dare to throw such a stone in there at will?
Therefore, in desperation, he had no choice but to carry the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone the entire way.
Fortunately, Xu Que still possessed another divine object, the Divine Aperture Shell, which could isolate them from the world and make them invisible. Walking between heaven and earth, the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone naturally wouldn't be detected by anyone.
It was just that this way, it wasn't convenient for the two of them to take the teleportation array, so they had to fly the whole way, crossing the Ziwei Immortal Domain to rush to the Tianxiang Immortal Domain.
It took a full several dozen days for Xu Que and Fairy Zixia to reach the mountain forest outside Tianxiang City.
Before they parted, Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning had stayed here to wait and had even built a cave dwelling.
When Xu Que and the others returned, Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning were still there, and the mountain forest was as quiet as ever, rarely visited by people.
Clearly, they hadn't been disturbed these past few dozen days and had been immersed in their cultivation.
Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning were also very surprised that Xu Que had brought such a boulder, and upon learning that this Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone was the boulder that distributed the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book, they were even more astonished.
Such a precious stone, and this guy actually snatched it back directly?
Wouldn't those Nascent Soul and Infant Transformation experts from the Heavenly Palace Academy be angered to death?
Even without being at the scene, Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning could imagine the furious and desperate looks of those people; after all, this wasn't the first time this guy Xu Que had done such a wicked thing.
"By the way, you must never use your divine sense to communicate with the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone, otherwise, if you accidentally become the Heavenly Chosen One, the trouble will be huge!" Xu Que specifically warned.
The Heavenly Chosen One was simply a pit; if he could, he wouldn't want to be this broken Heavenly Chosen One either.
"Now I only hope that Er Gou and the others can really find Xuan Yuan Wanrong. When the time comes, let her see if there is any way to take back the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book. Even if she can't take it back, if she can only control this Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone and prevent a new Heavenly Chosen One from appearing, we will still be safe for the time being!" Xu Que shook his head and sighed. Ever since he became this Heavenly Chosen One, he had had a pile of trouble, and the key was that he hadn't received a single bit of benefit.
"Since that's the case, why don't we stay here for this period? You can also take a look at Feifei's cultivation problems. As for other matters, let's wait for Er Gou and the others to return before making other plans!" Jiang Hongyan smiled slightly and suggested.
Xu Que also knew that he couldn't run around anymore during this time. That group of people from the Heavenly Palace Academy were probably already searching for their tracks like crazy. If he went out and met an Infant Transformation stage powerhouse, although there would be no danger to his life, he would inevitably suffer some hardship, so why bother?
Thus, Xu Que simply expanded the cave, dug out two entrances that went through from north to south, built a temporary cave dwelling, and even furnished it with various pieces of furniture.
Finally, he placed high-grade restrictions on the entire cave dwelling and covered the outermost layer with the Divine Aperture Shell, completely hiding the cave dwelling.
With these two measures of protection, even if an Infant Transformation stage expert passed by the entrance, they wouldn't be able to see any clues.
With the problem of concealment solved, Jiang Hongyan was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, sacrificing the Creation Jade Disc and probing her divine soul into it.
Xu Que stood by and waited. Since their last parting in the Buried Immortal Valley, it had been over a dozen years since he had seen Xu Feifei, but time flowed like water, passing by in a hurry, and he didn't feel it was long.
"I heard that no one cultivates in your hometown, but there are countless fun things, and you can fly and burrow into the earth without spiritual power. Is there really such a place in this world?" Fairy Zixia looked at Xu Que and asked.
Duan Jiude had heard many things about Earth from Er Gou and had told Fairy Zixia more or less everything.
She was puzzled that such a unique genius like Xu Que would come from a place without cultivators. The most important thing was that she heard there were many strange things in that place, and she was truly curious.
"Haha, of course it's true. After all, that is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless generations over countless years, but in front of the absolute power of cultivators, everything is nothing." Xu Que smiled, then shook his head again.
He had been to Earth personally and deeply understood that no matter how strong technology was, it couldn't stop the terrifying power of cultivators.
However, there were still many strange things on Earth, and it could be confirmed that in the ancient times, cultivators had indeed appeared there, but at that time Xu Que was only at the Spirit Refining stage and couldn't explore deeply.
If there was a chance in the future, he would like to go back and take a look.
"Then..." At this moment, Fairy Zixia opened her mouth again, wanting to say something else.
Jiang Hongyan's Creation Jade Disc suddenly shook, releasing a brilliant radiance, flowing with color.
Following that, two figures stepped out from it. Jiang Hongyan brought Xu Feifei out!
