Chapter 699: Opening the Seal

"Hmm?"

Xu Que couldn't help but be stunned!

The last layer of the seal had finally arrived!

But what should he do next?

Having gone through all kinds of hardships and dangers to reach this final seal, did he really have to cause destruction? Destroy Zixia Fairy's hard work?

But if he didn't cause destruction, what if she released the living creature under the Five Elements Mountain?

"Supreme Treasure!" At this moment, Zixia Fairy looked at Xu Que.

"Uh, what's wrong?" Xu Que recovered from his thoughts and looked at Zixia Fairy.

A trace of hesitation flashed across her brows. After hesitating for a moment, she seemed to have truly made up her mind and said: "Supreme Treasure, do you know why I want to break the seal?"

Eh? Is she going to confess her identity to me?

Xu Que was shocked in his heart, but still bit the bullet and shook his head: "I don't know, but... I once heard that a living creature is suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain. Along the way, I guessed that this might be the place where the living creature is suppressed!"

"Living creature?" Zixia Fairy was stunned, then shook her head: "No, this rumor has long become the past! Supreme Treasure, look at this!"

Saying this, she flipped her slender hand, took out a jade slip from her storage ring, and injected True Essence into it!

Whoosh!

The next moment, the jade slip bloomed with brilliant radiance, directly refracting pages of text into the air.

"In the year 421 of the Shanghuang Era, this Divine Venerable found the Golden Five Elements Staff and learned the method to open the seal from it, so I explored the Five Elements Mountain for the second time and opened the seal. Unexpectedly, when the seal was opened, the world shook, the void cracked, and vaguely, it seemed that a flash of golden light tore through the void and left! So this Divine Venerable explored under the Five Elements Mountain and found that it was empty below, gaining nothing... Later, this Divine Venerable felt guilty and moved the Five Elements Dragon Vein, paying the price of three thousand years of lifespan to reseal the Five Elements Mountain seal! Written by the first Sect Master of the Wei Wu Sect, Qilin Ancestor!"

Hiss!

After Xu Que finished reading this passage, he couldn't help but gasp!

Could this Qilin Ancestor really be Er Gou?

With Er Gou's personality, how could he possibly pay the price of three thousand years of lifespan to seal the Five Elements Mountain?

Impossible! Could it be that he was deliberately bragging about himself?

Holy crap, this possibility is very high!

And Er Gou had previously found a handwritten note of the Qilin Ancestor in the Wei Wu Sect, claiming to have been to the Five Elements Mountain and explored it slightly, but didn't find anything.

But now this jade slip was the latest information, falling into Zixia Fairy's hands, so it was no wonder Er Gou and Duan Jiude didn't know about this.

Thinking of this, Xu Que also sorted out these things and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least now he didn't have to struggle with whether to cause destruction. As long as there was no living creature under the Five Elements Mountain, it didn't matter whether this seal was broken or not!

Soon, he looked at Zixia Fairy and asked with a "confused" face: "Miss A Zi, this... what kind of sect is this Wei Wu Sect? How come I've never heard of it?"

There was clearly a trace of unnaturalness on Zixia Fairy's face, her eyes dodged slightly, and she said softly: "Hmm... the Wei Wu Sect is overseas and is not located in the Five Elements Mountain. It's normal that you haven't heard of it!"

"Hmm, so that's how it is!" Xu Que nodded with a "sudden realization."

But he was already overjoyed in his heart.

How could I not have heard of the Wei Wu Sect?

Just kidding, I even know the ancestral founder of your Wei Wu Sect, Er Gou!

"Supreme Treasure!" At this moment, Zixia Fairy seemed to summon a trace of courage and said in a low voice: "Actually... actually I am from overseas, and..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Que interrupted in shock: "What, so Miss A Zi, you are from overseas!"

Immediately, a trace of self-deprecating bitter smile flashed across his face, and he lowered his voice, looking slightly "lonely": "No wonder, I said, when has the Five Elements Mountain ever produced a cultivator as powerful as you, Miss A Zi!"

He knew that Zixia Fairy wanted to confess everything to him, so he hurriedly stopped her.

After all, he himself had also covered up his identity, and once that identity was made public, he would be chopped to death by Zixia Fairy in minutes!

So he stopped Zixia Fairy, letting everyone maintain the state of hiding their identities, so that in the future, he could say something like "You also hid your identity, so why call me shameless" as a rebuttal.

"Supreme Treasure, I didn't mean to hide it!" Zixia Fairy hurriedly explained.

Seeing that Xu Que's emotions were so excited just after she said she was from overseas, she didn't dare to continue.

She was worried that if she confessed that she was the Peak Master of Zixia Peak of the Wei Wu Sect from thousands of years ago, and that her cultivation had now reached the Great Vehicle Stage, this youth might be even more unable to accept it!

"I know, it's okay, I don't blame you!" Xu Que smiled slightly and waved his hand, but a trace of faint "melancholy" and "depression" still flashed in his eyes!

Zixia Fairy captured this look in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart.

Only after being silent for a moment did she speak again: "Actually, it's very dangerous overseas now, and there will be an invasion by foreign enemies soon, so I came to break the Five Elements Mountain seal to strengthen the power of a shackle overseas and resist the invasion of foreign enemies!"

So that's why she came!

Xu Que thought to himself, but his expression was still very surprised, saying: "I know about this matter; the Zha Tian Bang has been discussing it internally, but Xu Que already has a way to solve the foreign enemies. Miss A Zi, why do you still want to break the seal?"

"You underestimate those foreign experts too much. Xu Que even... Xu Que's strength is still insufficient; it's impossible to resist the invasion of foreign enemies! So I need to break the seal to give overseas cultivators a few more decades to prepare!" The more Zixia Fairy spoke, the smaller her voice became!

Because with this sentence, she told two lies!

One was almost saying that Xu Que couldn't even beat her!

Two was that breaking the seal was actually for her to have a few more decades to prepare; otherwise, with her current strength, she didn't have the confidence to stop the foreign experts either!

But this reaction still couldn't escape Xu Que's eyes, and he also guessed her thoughts.

However, under these circumstances, it was impossible for Xu Que to make things difficult for her, so he nodded immediately: "So that's how it is, Miss A Zi, you are really kind! Let's break the seal together and win time for the world!"

"Hmm!" Zixia Fairy hurriedly nodded, feeling a great sense of relief in her heart!

Afterward, she hurriedly moved and darted toward the altar, seemingly afraid that Xu Que would ask anything else, walking very hurriedly!

Xu Que smiled at the corners of his mouth, feeling more and more that this Zixia Fairy was really cute, but he pretended not to know anything and followed her with his steps.

Soon, the two landed in the center of the altar.

Zixia Fairy pinched the Dharma seal, radiance bloomed in her palm, and she slapped it toward the altar!

Boom!

Instantly, the patterns on the entire altar lit up, blooming with dazzling white light!

In an instant, the patterns across the entire altar brightened, erupting with a blinding white light!
