Ultimate Scheming System

“It’s not been so long since she entered the Original Infant Stage,” Jiang Hongyan said softly, a little embarrassed.”It’s not been so long since she entered the Original Infant Stage,” Jiang Hongyan said softly, a little embarrassed.

“That’s good. To be able to enter the Original Infant Stage after a couple of years is already pretty decent,” Xu Que grinned as he tried to console Jiang Hongyan.

After all, Xu Fei Fei had started her cultivation much later than others. Besides, she had lived on Earth. In terms of both her physique and her potential, she wouldn’t be able to match up to any of the cultivators.

Despite all that, Xu Fei Fei did possess several mystical items, such as the Good Fortune Jade Disk. She’d also had the guidance and protection of Jiang Hongyan. These conditions were much better than those of other cultivators. Besides, to be cultivating under the Good Fortune Jade Disk, she would progress much faster than others.

To be able to enter the Early Infant Stage in just a couple of years was already considered very fast to most cultivators.

However, for Xu Fei Fei, who had had so many advantages, it was considered rather slow.

Jiang Hongyan had also trained under the Good Fortune Jade Disk. After the Crossing Calamity Stage, she had entered the Half-Celestial Stage. After that, and in no time, she had entered the Golden Celestial Stage.

To most common cultivators, disregarding the elites, to be able to cross over these stages would require at least a few thousand years.

What that meant was that by practicing under the Good Fortune Jade Disk, Jiang Hongyan was able to shave off a few thousand years.

However, Xu Fei Fei had only just entered the Early Infant Stage.

This was why Jiang Hongyan had looked stressed. Clearly, she had been disappointed in Xu Fei Fei’s progress in cultivation. It was turning out to be much slower than she had hoped for and expected.

Xu Que understood deep down that there was only one reason for that: Xu Fei Fei was born with an inferior potential.

“The Good Fortune Jade Disk is able to improve the Spiritual Root. Besides, it is also able to refine the muscles. Over the past years, Fei Fei’s physique has achieved perfection. However, for some reason, she is unable to catch up on the cultivation speed.” Jiang Hongyan shook her head lightly, brows knitted.

Obviously, she had been mulling over this issue.

“It’s okay. Once we have resolved the problems of the Heaven Continent, I will check in with Fei Fei. I don’t think it’ll be a huge problem.” Xu Que was calm. As long as there was time for him to test out the System, the problem of Xu Fei Fei’s cultivation could be easily resolved in a matter of minutes.

However, it was not the time now to do that. Right now, the priority was the strong opponents from the cave. There were more than ten Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes. All of them came from the Heaven Palace Academy back in the old days. After they were awakened, it wouldn’t be tough for them to escape the seal. In no time, the top elites in the Heaven Continent would be changed.

This meant that huge mess would fall upon the Heaven Continent. Under such circumstances, it wouldn’t be the most brilliant plan for Xu Fei Fei to appear.

Xu Que decided to continue to wait for a while.

Meanwhile…

A few days passed.

Xu Que and the others remained in the Resting Inn in the ancient city. However, in the outside world, it seemed that there was no news of those strong opponents.

Instead, there was news about how Xu Que had single-handedly killed so many Celestial Kings that spread throughout the Heaven Continent.

He first used the Tribulations to kill ten Celestial Kings outside Tian Sha City. While doing that, he had managed to scare off two Celestial Primes who had come from outside the area. Then Xu Que had gone to the Heaven Palace Academy. With his own skills, he’d managed to kill three Celestial Kings and destroy the Heaven Palace Academy.

That had shocked countless cultivators in the Heaven Continent. They were in disbelief.

“My goodness! I initially thought that Xu Que’s father was very skillful. I didn’t expect that Xu Que would be even more ruthless.”

“That’s too scary. If it hadn’t been for the fact that so many people saw it with their own eyes, I wouldn’t have dared to believe one bit of this story.”

“I heard that Xu Que is only at the level of Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. However, he’s managed to kill the founder of the Heaven Palace Academy, Li Xuanqi.”

“No, I heard that he is a True Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. He was up against two, and he killed two Ancestral Celestial Kings from the Sage Sect.”

“That’s not true. He is really a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. Someone said that after he killed the two Ancestral Celestial Kings from the Sage Sect, his body emitted some sort of strength. He’s obviously a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven.”

“Regardless, that man is truly scary!”

In every corner of the Heaven Continent, people were discussing Xu Que’s skills.

While everyone was shocked by his skills, nobody dared to question them.

The Heaven Palace Academy had really been left in shambles. All of the deans and the Elders had been killed off. The disciples had all fled, returning to their respective clans and sects. Also, in less than one day, these clans and sects had announced that they wanted to get along with the Exploding Heavens Faction. Some of them had even willingly requested to join the Exploding Heavens Faction, to be affiliated with the Exploding Heavens Faction.

Regardless of how the outside world had been shaken, Xu Que persisted in not revealing himself.

He was very curious why the powerful beings from the Heaven Palace Academy had yet to appear. That was strange.

More than ten days had passed!

Xu Que finally could wait no longer.

Now, close to one month had passed, and there was still no news of those higher beings from the Heavens Palace Academy. However, Xu Que was certain that they must have left that place. It was just that they didn’t want to show themselves.

“This can’t do. We need to get someone to check it out. We can’t hide forever.” Xu Que summoned everyone over and made a suggestion.

“That’s right, I agree! However, I haven’t been feeling my best lately. I’m afraid I can’t go.” Buttface first agreed with Xu Que and then acted like he was ill. He was trying to show that he was unable to take on the task of checking out what was going on outside.

“Me, the old man, will have to prepare for Crossing a Tribulation. I really don’t have the bandwidth to check out the beings from the Heaven Palace Academy, although I would like to.” Duan Jiude sighed and spoke regretfully.

Indeed, he had been making progress in his practicing. The Heavenly Tribulations would come soon, hence, he wouldn’t be able to help.

However, it was clear to everyone that even if Duan Jiude didn’t have to face the Heavenly Tribulations, it was impossible that he would take on the task. The regret on his face right now was fake, and he was really good at acting.

Xu Que threw a look of scorn at Buttface and Duan Jiude before he smiled and said, “Shut up, the two of you. I didn’t say that I’m asking one of our own to go. We can just ask someone else to help.”

“Someone else? Who?” Buttface and Duan Jiude heaved a sigh of relief.

The rest of them also looked at Xu Que, expectantly.

The corner of Xu Que’s lips twitched, and he said, “It’s time to make a trip to Jade Lake.”

“What? Going to Jade Lake to cause trouble again?” Duan Jiude said, wide-eyed.

“What do you mean causing trouble! Jade Lake has been sealed, and they said that they will wash their hands of all matters. However, I guess they can’t wait for us to knock on their doors.” Xu Que laughed, “After all…they don’t know that there are still people from the old days in the Heaven Palace Academy.”

“You’re not being too nice to them,” Duan Jiude said as he shook his head.

“Chill, this time we won’t bully them. We are just going to give them some enlightenment.” Xu Que laughed.

“What? What kind of enlightenment? Give me some first.” Buttface rushed forward, looking ecstatic.

Xu Que gave his head a push and then said contemptuously, “If you were half as beautiful as the ladies at Jade Lake, then I wouldn’t mind giving you some enlightenment.”
