Ultimate Scheming System

In the Water Nation’s Five Elements Mountain, in a desolate area near Snow City, a veiled woman clad in a Taoist robe walked slowly.

She’d restrained her aura so much that her existence was almost overlooked by the people who passed her.

Even though she hid her face, her impressive curves that were covered by the bulky Taoist robe were still eye-catching. But, as she walked down the road, both cultivators and mortals alike minded their own business as if they couldn’t even see the woman clad in a Taoist robe.

This was a certain cultivation stage, and it was greater than her previous stage that she had left behind. True powerhouses wouldn’t stand out among the crowd. They were able to blend into the world. They were as serene as a grain of dust, and people didn’t notice them even if they stood right next to them.

As the woman clad in the Taoist robe walked down the road and observed everything, her pretty eyes lit up, and it seemed like she was reminiscing about past events.

In the end, her gaze fell upon the mouth of a mountain cave that had been sealed for a long time. She had once met a person in this land and his name was Joker.

He was a nobody, yet he’d crossed a mortal life with her in an Illusory Realm. Ten short years in an Illusory Realm weren’t any different than scattered smoke, yet they still left a mark in her heart that she hadn’t been able to erase.

“Past, present, and future won’t arrive again…”

“Red fallen leaves buried in the ground for a long time…”

“The beginning and the end have never changed…”

“You are floating at the horizon beyond the white clouds…”

“A sea of bitterness…”

She opened her rosy mouth and sang a song with her beautiful voice.

This song had previously been sung by that youth in the underground land. She still couldn’t forget the refreshing feeling it gave her.

But now, everything had changed.

She had left several years ago and crossed many difficulties to finally find a chance to come over and seek that youth to fulfill their destiny.

It was a pity that he wasn’t here!

The heart of the woman clad in the Taoist robe shivered. She went back to the Five Elements Mountain and engulfed everything with her powerful soul, yet she still couldn’t find even a wisp of that youth’s aura.

There were only two possibilities. The youth had either left many years ago, or he’d already died.

After the woman analyzed both possibilities, she chose the second one.

“After all, the youth had possessed only a low power. So, how would it have been possible for him to easily leave the Five Elements Mountain or even leave the Four Continents?

“This was why he really…wasn’t here!

“Exploding Heavens Faction, where are you…?”

A cold light flashed in the woman’s eyes. Since she couldn’t find Joker, she could only look for Exploding Heavens Faction members and make inquiries. She must find him no matter if he was alive or dead at all costs. Even if she had to defy Heaven, she would still do it to change everything.

She possessed enough confidence and power for this.

…..

Meanwhile, Xu Que and Buttface were in the Celestial Burial Valley within one of the Four Great Continents, the Eastern Continent.

Buttface had already shattered the Black Jade Stone Room and found a coffin within it. The coffin was covered with magic symbols and many thick dark iron shackles that were connected to the ground were all around the coffin.

Obviously, Buttface hadn’t expected the shackles, and even Xu Que was surprised by this.

“What’s going on? He’s in a coffin, but is this necessary?” Xu Que asked in surprise.

After all, according to what Buttface had said, the Black Jade Stone Room’s restriction spells were already quite powerful, and no one other than Buttface could break them easily. This was why the Sea Tribe’s almighty being didn’t have to take this unnecessary action and get a coffin covered with restrictive shackles and magic symbols.

“F*ck! I knew that this old b*stard had focused the Spirit Core’s power on this land. He drew power from the terrain, and this power was sent to his body through those dark iron shackles. This way, he doesn’t have to spend time cultivating, and he could be invincible once he comes out.” Buttface pondered this for a long time before he discovered some clues. Then he spoke with a surprised look plastered on his face.

“Does it still have such a function?” Xu Que was surprised.

This method was really awesome. He would get to sleep for thousands of years in a coffin, and his cultivation stage wouldn’t just not drop after he came out. Instead, it would even become stronger. It was awesome!

TSK! TSK! “I could have also used this function, but I disdained to do so.” Buttface wore a disdainful look and raised his head proudly.

“I didn’t ask you whether you could also use it. I just want to see how you can deal with this coffin.” Xu Que glared at Buttface as he spoke.

He didn’t have a lot of time left. If he couldn’t take out Xuanyuan Wanrong before the beginning of the Worldly Furnace’s operation, he would surely die here.

Buttface’s plan included taking out the body of the Sea Tribe’s almighty being, but his body was protected by dark iron shackles and magic symbols. They wouldn’t manage to take out his body easily in a short time.

“Huh? I need some time to ponder properly about this issue.” Buttface propped his chin on his paw and wore a pensive look.

Xu Que immediately wanted to slap him, but when his gaze fell upon the coffin, he got an idea.

The Act-Tough King’s Leg was able to break restriction spells, and it seemed like those magic symbols were also a type of restriction spell.

“Hey, Buttface, get out of the way. I have a daring idea that I want to try.” Xu Que smiled and pushed Buttface out of the way.

“What do you want to do?” Buttface was startled and quite confused.

However, after he spoke, he saw Xu Que lifting his right leg. His leg started shining with a golden light and he waved it at the coffin.

“F*ck!”

THUMP!

As Buttface let out a surprised cry, a loud noise emanated from the coffin.

The innumerable shining magic symbols instantly dimmed, and several cracks appeared on the coffin.

HISS! Buttface sucked in a breath of cold air and looked in shock at Xu Que. “F*ck! Lad, your leg is really too awesome, did you learn this in Shaolin Temple?”

“Those magic symbols are just restriction spells, and they have gone through long years. They don’t have their former power. I have the Act-Tough King’s Leg and a holy physique. How can I still call myself the Act-Tough Saint if I can’t break them with kicks?” Xu Que sneered coldly and spoke imposingly.

As a matter of fact, he’d just wanted to try this, and he hadn’t expected that it would be so effective.

After all, the grade of the magic symbols on the coffin was too high, and he couldn’t use the Acting Tough Points to destroy them with the current version of the System.

He didn’t expect that the combination of the Act-Tough King’s Leg and the holy physique would be so effective. He’d managed to break the magic symbols with a single strike, and he even shattered the coffin.

“It seems like it’s assured now.”

Xu Que chuckled calmly and raised his leg again. He’d consumed 100,000 Acting Tough Points to use the Act-Tough King’s Leg before he kicked the coffin without the least bit of hesitation.

BANG!

This time, the whole coffin was broken into pieces, and only wood splinters were left. A dark, swarthy creature fell out of it and rolled several times on the ground without having any reaction.

Buttface looked in surprise and admiration at Xu Que and gave him a thumbs-up. “Brother Que, you are awesome. When it comes to digging out graves and kicking open coffins, you are number one in the world.”

“Get lost! Quickly carry this creature, and let’s go look for Xuanyuan Wanrong.” Xu Que wasn’t in the mood to joke with Buttface, and he looked at that black creature with disgust.

There was a dark, swarthy seafood as big as a human on the ground, and he couldn’t discern its species even though he was quite experienced and knowledgeable.
