Chapter 680: A Bizarre Scene

Winning half a move against Heaven!

Fairy Zixia was instantly stunned.

Obviously, she hadn't expected Xu Que to say such a thing!

In the cultivation world, what cultivators feared most was undoubtedly the Heavens!

Looking at the world, who dared to say they could win against Heaven?

Only this youth before her dared to say such words as "winning half a move against Heaven"!

If it were before, she would definitely have felt that this guy was too arrogant!

But after seeing with her own eyes Xu Que break a Chessboard Sea Array that was impossible to break, Fairy Zixia didn't feel he was arrogant!

Because for the Golden Core Stage, this level of Chessboard Sea Array was probably equivalent to Heaven!

Now that he had not only broken the array but also returned alive, calling himself "winning half a move against Heaven" actually made people feel he was a bit humble!

But in fact, Xu Que saying "winning half a move against Heaven" wasn't purely to act cool, but because he really felt he had only won half!

Why?

Because he felt that spending 50,000 Acting Cool Points was truly unwilling!

If he could have collected that Immortal Artifact without spending a single Acting Cool Point, that would be called a complete victory!

A moment later, thanks to that pill from Fairy Zixia, Xu Que's injuries recovered extremely quickly and were almost healed!

But after experiencing this danger, Fairy Zixia was already somewhat hesitant.

"Supreme Treasure, why don't we stop here! When I get out, I will gift you a fortune!" She looked at Xu Que and said, not wanting Xu Que to take risks with her anymore, because this path was completely different from the first time she came, and she had no idea what crisis they would encounter next!

Xu Que immediately put on a firm expression, righteous and awe-inspiring: "Miss A-Zi, please don't say such things again! If I, Supreme Treasure, were greedy for life and afraid of death, I wouldn't have come here in the first place!"

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'! In fact, before I came here, I already knew there would be danger, but I still came, because I have always firmly believed that if one wants to become a strong person, one must experience ten thousand tribulations, all kinds of tempering, be fearless, and be born through blood and fire to become a vessel!" Xu Que said with sonorous force, his face showing a fearless expression, looking very heroic and domineering!

Fairy Zixia hesitated for a while, but in the end, she nodded.

On one hand, she felt that Xu Que's words made sense; if one wanted to become a strong person, avoiding danger blindly was absolutely not the way!

On the other hand, she also knew Xu Que couldn't leave. Rather than separating and walking alone, it was better to continue on the road together, at least she could look after him and avoid him getting into any real trouble!

So she didn't refute him anymore, and after nodding, she continued forward with Xu Que!

That originally huge and vast Chessboard Sea Array had been broken by Xu Que, and this place had revealed its original form; the sea had turned into a lake, and the void edges around it had become stone walls!

An unfathomable passage appeared at the stone wall, pitch black inside!

Xu Que and Fairy Zixia looked at each other and simultaneously stepped forward, entering the passage!

Along the way, it was as if they had returned to the situation when they first entered!

From time to time, restrictions and small arrays would appear in the passage, all of which were broken by the two working together; the speed was very fast and saved effort!

As more restrictions and arrays were broken, the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit!

Often, just as Xu Que hit a corner of a restriction, Fairy Zixia's Dharma seal would arrive just in time to fill the other corner, instantly causing the restriction to shatter!

Occasionally, Fairy Zixia would strike first, and Xu Que would also quickly follow up to fill the position, easily breaking the array!

This inexplicable tacit understanding was like a meeting of minds, making the two of them feel somewhat stunned and surprised!

However, regarding this phenomenon, Xu Que was still secretly happy in his heart, assuming the Fate Red Rope was playing a role, so he pretended to know nothing, with a focused expression, and continued to move forward!

Several hours later!

A white light finally appeared at the end of the passage!

That was an exit, or perhaps an entrance!

Xu Que and Fairy Zixia stopped their steps instantly, their expressions tightening slightly, and they looked at each other simultaneously.

"There are people inside!" Fairy Zixia said first.

"Many people!" Xu Que nodded!

Before even approaching the end of the passage, they had already sensed the aura of over a hundred cultivators inside; obviously, quite a few people were gathered there!

What was bizarre was that those auras almost all seemed very stable and hadn't moved at all, with only a few auras moving slowly.

If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't restrained their auras, Xu Que would almost have thought they were hiding there in ambush!

"Strange? Could it be that some great fortune has appeared inside?" Xu Que couldn't help but frown and ask suspiciously!

Fairy Zixia, however, had a solemn expression and shook her head slightly, "Not necessarily. If I'm not mistaken, another great array has appeared here!"

"Another great array?" Xu Que was instantly excited!

The previous Chessboard Sea Array had gotten him an Immortal Artifact!

If this array was just as powerful, didn't that mean there might be another Immortal Artifact?

Rich! Rich! This wave might be a huge profit again!

Xu Que couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said in a low voice, "Miss A-Zi, why don't we go over and take a look?"

Fairy Zixia frowned slightly, seemingly hesitant, but after a moment, she still nodded and instructed, "Supreme Treasure, if there is danger this time, leave immediately; don't try to save me again, I won't die!"

"Hmm..." Xu Que gave an ambiguous response, didn't intend to waste time acting cool, and stepped forward!

Fairy Zixia couldn't tell that his answer was just brushing her off, but seeing that he had already set off, she had no choice but to step forward and follow closely!

Soon, the two walked to the end of the passage, always remaining vigilant, but no dangerous situation occurred!

Until the moment they stepped out of the end of the passage, they were stunned!

This was actually an incomparably spacious secret chamber, about the size of two football fields, and the surrounding walls were filled with countless passage entrances and exits, like the intersection of a maze!

And the one Xu Que and the others walked out of was just one of many, which could only be considered a drop in the ocean, so their appearance didn't attract anyone's attention!

Of course, this was also because there weren't many people at those entrances and exits now!

And just now, the over a hundred stable auras that Xu Que had sensed in the passage, he finally understood what was going on!

Because this group of people was now all standing in the center of this huge secret chamber, their expressions dull, like a group of terracotta warriors, motionless, not even blinking an eye!

"What's the situation? Are they imprisoned?" Xu Que couldn't help but be stunned.

Fairy Zixia also frowned, then looked at the cultivators at the other passage entrances and exits, her face changed slightly, and she said, "This place is strange, Supreme Treasure, look at those people standing at the passage entrances like us!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xu Que turned his head to look!

On the four walls, besides his own side, there were quite a few passage entrances and exits on the other three walls, each with several cultivators standing there!

But at this moment, these people were all looking up, their eyes fixed on the ceiling of the secret chamber, and they were still chanting something, but there was no sound at all!

Xu Que subconsciously followed their gaze upward, but there was nothing on the ceiling of the secret chamber, only a pitch-black ceiling!

"Strange, there's clearly nothing up there; what are they looking at?" Xu Que was stunned.

Logically speaking, that group of cultivators standing below motionless should be more eye-catching, right? How come these people all focused their attention on the ceiling, and they didn't make any sound when they spoke? Could it be that they were using sound transmission to each other?

"Boom!"

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from behind Xu Que!

"Not good, run!" Fairy Zixia was moved instantly and said in alarm.

However, before they could rush out, the entire passage behind them was suddenly shrouded in a light curtain!

The next moment, the passage disappeared before their eyes, as if it had been cut in half, leaving only a pitch-black void area!

"Too late, we've already entered the array's range!" Xu Que shook his head, his expression solemn.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but feel excited and secretly happy!

The more powerful this array was, the more it meant that it was very likely the same as before, an array supported by an Immortal Artifact!

At this moment, Fairy Zixia beside him said in a low voice, "Supreme Treasure, this array is not right, look up there!"

Xu Que was startled, followed Fairy Zixia's gaze, and looked toward the ceiling of the secret chamber again!

Following that, he was dumbfounded!

On the ceiling of the secret chamber, which had been empty just a moment ago, countless light and shadow images had now appeared!

In each image, there were figures of cultivators; some were fighting, some were going crazy, and some were in a daze!

And the cultivators in those images were exactly the group of people who were standing motionless in the center of the secret chamber like terracotta warriors!

"It's over! It's all over!" Suddenly, a voice came from the opposite wall, filled with deep panic and shock: "There's no escaping this time; are we going to follow in their footsteps?"
