Chapter 18: Invitation

Exempt the Grand Void Gate from the harassment of the Demon Sect, and even leap to become the most powerful sect within the vicinity of Wind Fog City!

Once these words were spoken, even Su Yunlan couldn't remain calm!

If someone else had said this, Su Yunlan certainly wouldn't have cared, and would only have felt that the other person was crazy.

But since Xu Que said it, Su Yunlan couldn't help but care.

In her view, Xu Que seemed to be half a lunatic.

The deeds this youth had created so far were almost all crazy, and also full of miracles.

First, with the cultivation of the Core Formation Stage, he single-handedly wiped out the Yin Ghost Sect, and then went to the Heavenly Martial Sect, killing Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in front of an Infant Transformation Stage expert, and even trampled the Heavenly Martial Sect to the ground before leaving leisurely.

As a result, half a month later, he appeared in the Bone Forest again, and with the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage, he single-handedly wiped out the entire Blood Sea Sect.

And now, Xu Que suddenly said he had a way to make the Grand Void Gate rise. Su Yunlan's first reaction was... could this guy be thinking of wiping out all the sects in Wind Fog City?

Immediately, Su Yunlan pushed Xu Que away, took two steps back, took a deep breath, and said with a solemn expression, "This... Fellow Daoist Xu, you... calm down first!"

Let me calm down?

Xu Que came back to his senses, somewhat confused!

Hearing such good news, she wasn't excited? How come she was telling me to calm down instead?

Damn it, what a loss. I spent over a hundred Acting Cool Points to exchange for the blueprints, and I didn't even get a chance to kiss her while she was confused. I didn't even get to hug her for long. What a huge loss!

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I understand your kindness, but... if the worry of the Demon Sect can be solved, that is naturally good! But the other sects are innocent, so please show mercy!" At this time, Su Yunlan said somewhat tactfully, meaning to let Xu Que, this killing maniac, spare the other righteous sects.

Xu Que was confused and said, "Sect Master Su, what are you talking about?"

"I..."

"Forget it, forget it. Actually, it's like this: I have a blueprint here that can forge a powerful Dharma Treasure to help you guard the Grand Void Gate. That way, when the Demon Sect invades, you can sleep soundly. If you have ambition, you can naturally take that Dharma Treasure to conquer, guaranteeing success in every battle!" As he spoke, Xu Que took out the blueprint and handed it to Su Yunlan.

Su Yunlan was stunned, and also breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out she had misunderstood. This Xu Que wasn't going to kill people, but was giving a Dharma Treasure!

That would be good, but what Dharma Treasure could have such power? It could actually block the Demon Sect and even conquer all directions?

Su Yunlan couldn't help but become curious and slowly took the blueprint!

Xu Que smiled slightly and took the opportunity to touch Su Yunlan's soft, boneless, fair, and tender hands.

In fact, the blueprint he took out was called the "Divine Might Charging Cannon" design, a powerful weapon from a high-tech cultivation world, which cost Xu Que a full 120 Acting Cool Points to exchange for.

As long as it was forged according to the blueprint, this cannon could be used by others!

Of course, the power of this Divine Might Charging Cannon was also astonishing. It only required one Spirit Stone to fire, and each shot was equivalent to the strongest strike of a peak Nascent Soul Stage expert. If there were enough of them, even Infant Transformation Stage experts would have to kneel!

And the most crucial point was that as long as the charging cannon was forged by Xu Que's own hands, no matter who used it, as long as they killed someone, the experience and rewards would be counted towards Xu Que. This was also the reason why he was so active in giving the cannon.

No matter where he went in the future, as long as the Grand Void Gate used these Divine Might Charging Cannons to kill enemies, he would be able to gain experience at all times. Anyone would be willing to do such a thing!

However, after Su Yunlan took a look at the design, the curiosity in her eyes immediately vanished. She smiled bitterly and looked at Xu Que, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xu, this... mortal artillery probably won't be of much use, right!"

Mortal artillery?

What a joke, can mortal artillery compare to this?

Xu Que was unhappy and pointed to the blueprint, saying, "Sect Master Su, look clearly. This is the Divine Might Charging Cannon. One low-grade Spirit Stone can make it fire ten shots, and each shot is comparable to the strongest strike of a Nascent Soul Stage expert. If I build ten of them, your Grand Void Gate will be invincible, and even Infant Transformation Stage experts won't dare to provoke you!"

"Uh..." Su Yunlan's expression stiffened, and she smiled reluctantly again, clearly not believing Xu Que's words.

After all, in the cultivation world, she had never heard of any Dharma Treasure that could be so powerful, actually only needing one low-grade Spirit Stone to activate, and each strike's power was comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage expert? How could this be possible, unless it was a legendary Immortal Artifact!

But Immortal Artifacts also had to be activated by True Essence, and they had to be forged by Immortals. How could it be so easily created!

However, she was embarrassed to say these words clearly to Xu Que, fearing it would make him lose face. She simply handed the blueprint back to Xu Que and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, since that's the case, then I'll trouble you. Just speak up if you need any materials. As long as our Grand Void Gate has them, you can just take them!"

It wasn't that she was generous, but that the current Grand Void Gate was truly at its wit's end. There was nothing precious in the treasury at all, so Su Yunlan naturally let Xu Que take whatever he wanted.

However, this Divine Might Charging Cannon didn't need any precious materials at all, just a large amount of Black Iron. The other complex rune stone pieces were given away when buying the blueprint, enough for Xu Que to forge four or five cannons!

In the end, Xu Que got a token from Su Yunlan and headed straight for the Grand Void Gate's treasure vault.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep, and he was in a hurry, so he might as well make it first!

Black Iron was a necessary material for forging flying swords, so there was a large stock in the Grand Void Gate's treasure vault.

After Xu Que went in, he didn't say a word and moved all the Black Iron away, leaving the disciples guarding the vault dumbfounded.

Finally, Xu Que returned to his small courtyard. He was too lazy to find a forging furnace and directly sent out the True Essence in his body, making the Black Iron float in mid-air.

Following that, a wisp of scorching green flame surged from his palm—it was the Green Lotus Core Flame—instantly wrapping the Black Iron and burning it rapidly!

According to the instructions in the blueprint, Xu Que used the strange fire to quickly melt the Black Iron into a liquid state and removed the impurities inside. The whole process took several hours.

It wasn't until the sky was getting bright that he finally refined a pool of pitch-black Black Iron liquid.

Afterwards, he began to shape the Black Iron liquid, cooling it while forming it into the appearance of the "Divine Might Charging Cannon" in the blueprint!

Just as the cannon body was formed, he quickly took out two stone pieces engraved with rune marks—which were used when buying the blueprint—and directly patted them into the center of the charging cannon.

This principle was like implanting an electronic chip into an electronic product. Xu Que did it very smoothly!

Several hours later, it was near dusk, and the sky was filled with red clouds!

Xu Que's first "Divine Might Charging Cannon" was successfully forged, officially declaring success!

The entire divine cannon was about a meter long, its surface pitch-black like ink, and it was outlined with dense golden runes, exuding a mysterious aura!

He didn't have time to try it out first and directly called a Grand Void Gate disciple, telling him to notify the Sect Master and the two Elders to come and see the cannon!

After that disciple ran over and saw that Xu Que had built an artillery piece in the courtyard, his expression immediately became strange, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

A dignified cultivator actually tinkered with something from a mortal military camp and even treated it like a treasure. If this got out, it would definitely be a laughingstock!

But Xu Que was a distinguished guest after all, so the disciple finally held back his laughter and said softly, "Fellow Daoist, when we go to see the Sect Master and Elders, we need to send a name card first, stating the purpose of the visit!"

"What the hell? I have to send an invitation to see them? What kind of stinky habit is this!" Xu Que frowned immediately. A small sect actually had such broken rules. Even the Heavenly Martial Sect wasn't this complicated!

The disciple waved his hands hurriedly and explained, "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstood. Our past Sect Masters and Elders all live in the Library Pavilion, and the Library Pavilion is full of restrictions. One must hold a prohibition token to enter. But the prohibition token is only carried by the Elders and the Sect Master. When other disciples have something to report, they can only send the name card in. Our Sect Master has also worried about this matter and wanted to change those restrictions, but there was no way at all, because those were set by our Ancestral Founder back then!"

"So that's how it is."

Xu Que nodded slightly and said, "Fine, then help me write a name card and send it over quickly."

"Okay, please recite it, Fellow Daoist, and I will write it down as you say." The disciple took out a silver paper and looked at Xu Que.

Xu Que rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Just write... Dear... *cough cough*, forget it, just write 'Sect Master Su, a handsome, cool, and uninhibited young man wants to invite you to come over tonight to see the Divine Might Charging Cannon!'"

"Uh..." The disciple was stunned and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Fellow Daoist, look, this name card is so small, the number of words that can be written is limited. Can it be simplified a bit?"

"Simplified?" Xu Que thought for a moment and said, "Then write 'Sect Master Su, a handsome young man wants to invite you to come over tonight to see the cannon!'"

"Can it be simplified a bit more?"

"Still need to simplify? Fine, just write 'Sect Master Su, let's meet tonight!' Don't write the word 'cannon'!"

"Okay, Fellow Daoist is truly talented. By the way, the name of the sender also needs to be written on the name card. May I ask how you should be addressed?"

"I am... the Cannon God!" ===== CHAPTER 19 =====
