Chapter 1484: I Am Hua Wuque (Fourth Update)

"Guild Master Xu, are you heading to the Immortal Yuan Continent? Go quickly; leave these four to us to deal with," an Immortal King from the Shadow Floating Pagoda Sect shouted without delay.

"Oh? Since when have you lot become so warm-hearted?"

Xu Que immediately burst into laughter.

Judging by the situation, this group truly seemed to be here to help.

Could it be they were intimidated by his previous Mad Demon State and had come to curry favor?

Fine, not bad; they were quite sensible.

"What words are these, Guild Master Xu? Tianzhou belongs to every one of us, but it absolutely does not belong to these invaders; protecting Tianzhou is everyone's responsibility."

"Indeed, Guild Master Xu has already contributed greatly to Tianzhou; leave this minor trouble to us to handle."

"These four are ungrateful wretches who dared to block Guild Master Xu's path; we will surely make them wish they were dead."

"Guild Master Xu, depart quickly; leave this place to us."

As more than a dozen people shouted, they surged forward with imposing momentum, instantly surrounding the four experts from the Immortal Yuan Continent.

Seeing this, Xu Que smiled with gratification.

"Very well, thank you all, old friends, for your righteous assistance," he said with a beaming smile, cupping his fists toward the crowd.

He felt somewhat emotional in his heart.

Recalling the past grudges and conflicts with these factions, he never expected that due to this invasion from the Immortal Yuan Continent, everyone would now turn weapons into jade and silk.

There is true affection in the human world; there is true love in the human world.

"Do not even think about entering my Immortal Yuan Continent."

At that moment, an Immortal King expert from the Immortal Yuan Continent roared in shock, charging forward as if his life meant nothing, burning his Origin in an attempt to perish together with Xu Que.

He knew clearly that none of the four of them could escape today.

But no matter what, he could not allow this terrifying existence, capable of entering the Mad Demon State at any time, to enter the Immortal Yuan Continent.

"The more you say that, the more determined I am to go," Xu Que raised his eyebrows and was about to strike back immediately.

However, an elderly Immortal King from Fangcun directly blocked the path of that Immortal King, clashing hard against him, while not forgetting to turn back and shout to Xu Que, "Guild Master Xu, leave quickly!"

"Ah, this!"

Xu Que was instantly stunned; what a sudden wave of emotion...

"Senior, you..." Xu Que opened his mouth to say something.

"Go quickly."

The other Immortal Kings of Tianzhou had already surrounded the four experts from the Immortal Yuan Continent, simultaneously urging Xu Que to depart.

Xu Que touched the tip of his nose; why did he feel something was slightly off?

Nevertheless, he was too lazy to dig to the root of the matter; since they were willing to step forward and resolve this minor trouble, he would simply let them be.

"Everyone, I shall take my leave first; if fate allows, we shall meet again another day."

Xu Que smiled, turned around, and soared toward the gap in the Void Realm Wall.

However, just as he began to feel the pulling force of the Void Realm Wall, a roar came from behind from an expert of the Immortal Yuan Continent: "I heard this person has wreaked havoc everywhere in Tianzhou; why are you helping him so much?"

"You idiot, you don't know shit. This troublemaker is leaving, yet you rush out to block him; are we supposed to help him, or are we supposed to help you instead?"

"Hehe, this is great; now that the 'Virtue-Lacking Dog' has left, Tianzhou will finally know peace."

"Cough, cough, cough, don't speak so loudly; that fellow Xu Que hasn't entered yet..."

The gazes of the dozen-plus Immortal Kings all inadvertently glanced toward Xu Que, who was being dragged into the Immortal Yuan Continent.

"Damn it..."

Xu Que's face was already filled with rage; he was about to stride out from the gap in the Void Realm Wall to properly educate this group.

However, a massive pulling force came from behind, instantly yanking his entire body backward.

Boom!

Accompanied by a series of tremendous roars in his ears, the scenery before his eyes changed rapidly, and the Void became completely distorted.

The next moment, when all the pulling forces dissipated, everything before Xu Que's eyes returned to normal.

He now found himself in an unfamiliar region.

All around was a vast Plain, with Mountain Forests in the distance.

The air contained incredibly dense Spiritual Energy, and even the space between Heaven and Earth was filled with the aura of Great Dao rules, as if cultivating in such a place could lead to comprehending the Great Dao and breaking through on the spot at any moment.

"So this is the Immortal Yuan Continent? Truly a wonderful place."

After taking a deep breath, Xu Que felt refreshed and clear-headed, his mood improving considerably.

However, Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude, who had been sucked in earlier, were nowhere to be seen.

According to what Er Gouzi had said earlier, if one passed through that gap in the Void Realm Wall of Tianzhou in reverse, a slight difference in timing would result in being transported to different locations.

Therefore, Xu Que spread out his divine sense, casually swept the area, and upon detecting no trace of those two fellows' auras, he directly gave up searching for them.

Given the character and conduct of those two scoundrels, they would likely become notorious before long; by then, he wouldn't need to seek them out specifically and could probably learn their whereabouts from others' mouths.

Thus, the most urgent task at hand was still to find Jiang Hongyan and the others first.

After all, the saying "Calamity of Beauty" was not without reason; the overall strength of cultivators in the Immortal Yuan Continent was greater than that in Tianzhou, and experts stood everywhere; given the appearance and temperament of Jiang Hongyan and the others, they would undoubtedly encounter plenty of trouble.

"Just now, I seemed to sense the aura of cultivators in this direction."

Xu Que's gaze swept toward the east; within the perception of his divine sense, he could detect a gathering of the Human Race in the distance.

"I'll go investigate the situation first."

He muttered to himself, his figure flickering as he instantly transformed into a phantom and darted forward.

A moment later.

Xu Que appeared outside a city.

Looking up, he saw three large characters written above the city gate: "Jinghe City."

"Fellow Daoist, are you also here to participate in the Three Sects Selection?"

Just as he paused, a voice suddenly rang out beside him.

Xu Que turned to look and saw a delicate youth dressed in white robes.

However, this youth seemed to possess remarkably unique bone structure.

He looked refined and delicate, petite and weak, yet his pectoral muscles were unusually well-developed.

Xu Que's gaze swept downward for another inspection.

Good heavens, his legs also looked long and sturdy, making for an excellent cannon stand... tsk, no, I mean an excellent body proportion.

"Fellow Daoist?"

Seeing that Xu Que had not replied for some time, the youth called out again.

"Indeed."

Xu Que smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "I am Hua Wuque; I am indeed here to participate in the Three Sects Selection. I observe that you, honored brother, are also traveling alone; why don't the two of us journey together?"

"That is exactly my intention!"

The other party's face immediately bloomed like a flower, revealing a sweet smile.

"May I ask how you are addressed, Fellow Daoist? Actually, regarding this matter of the Three Sects Selection, I have only heard rumors and came attracted by its reputation; could you please explain the details?" Xu Que asked politely.

"Ah, right..."

Hearing this, the youth realized he had not yet introduced his name; his face flushed red, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Hua, please forgive me; I am Guan Zheng..."

Amidst these introductions, the two of them stepped forward together, heading toward the city.

During their conversation, Xu Que learned that "Jinghe City" belonged to Qingzhou within the Wudu Domain of the Immortal Yuan Continent; within a radius around the city lay three great sects, each guarded by several Immortal King experts, and it was one of the Eighteen Ancient Sects of Qingzhou.

This Three Sects Selection in Jinghe City was not for them to recruit new disciples; rather, the three sects had accepted a mission from a major faction to search for individuals with Heavenly Talent.

However, someone had leaked inside information stating that the three sects were actually selecting geniuses for the rumored Four Great Heavenly Gates.

As for the true origins and extraordinary nature of those Four Great Heavenly Gates, Guan Zheng knew nothing when asked, since he had only heard about this matter from outsiders.

At that moment, Xu Que was nearly so angry he wanted to hammer his chest.

You spoke at length about trivial details, yet when it came to the crucial matters, you claimed ignorance, saying you heard it all from others?

However, being new to this place, Xu Que felt it was still necessary to keep a low profile.

After all, the experiences of recent times had made him feel he had matured and become more steady than before.

Thus, under Guan Zheng's guidance, the two of them soon arrived at an inn to rest briefly.

Xu Que also took this opportunity to converse with other Cultivators who had come to participate in the Three Sects Selection, subtly probing for information along the way.

As a result of this investigation, he made quite a few "friends," yet useful information was nearly zero.

These people had not heard at all of anyone from Tianzhou entering this realm, let alone any news regarding Jiang Hongyan and the others.

However, this was quite normal; from their words, Xu Que also roughly understood the situation of the Immortal Yuan Continent.

It was roughly divided into seven great domains, each domain's scope almost vaster than the entire Tianzhou; in such a vast Heaven and Earth, even if there were news, it would likely spread extremely slowly.

This caused Xu Que some distress; amidst the vast sea of people and the immensity of the world, how could it be easy to find Jiang Hongyan and the others in a short time!

Could it be that he must use the old method again?

Throwing Shoes to Ask the Way?
