Ultimate Scheming System

Chapter 1360: This Is Probably an Opportunity

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xu Que had never considered Xuanyuan Wanrong a hidden danger, and he had felt he could act fearlessly because of her.

These two people’s fates were linked by the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, and they depended on each other for survival. It could even be said that they had a stable relationship where they shared both life and death. This was why Xu Que was at ease. He was aware that even if Xuanyuan Wanrong came into the world again, she wouldn’t dare to harm him, and she would even protect him.

But now, he discovered that he had overlooked a certain matter. If Xuanyuan Wanrong died, he wouldn’t escape death either.

Moreover, it seemed as if this situation had already occurred.

Xu Que was aware that he hadn’t run into any deadly poison or anything similar, yet his life span had unexpectedly seemed to shrink in an inexplicable way and was even manifested in his body. His remaining life span was just 40 days!

The result of the System’s inspection stated that he had been affected by a certain artifact, and that he had lost his life span due to the influence of the Heaven Way’s laws

This meant that Xuanyuan Wanrong currently faced great danger and was on the brink of death. This was why he had been implicated.

“Even myriad thorough and careful plans can’t escape the shackles of destiny,” Xu Que clenched his fists and teeth before he spoke out of resentment.

If it had been another danger, then even if he had a narrow chance for survival or not even a single chance, he would have still accepted it. Even if the two souls of Guan Chuchu and Xuanyuan Qishang had killed him, he would still have accepted it.

But now, he had been implicated by someone else and would have to share both death and life due to their destiny. He couldn’t accept this!

“I have worked so hard, yet in the end, I will die because of a useless comrade? Who could accept this matter?”

“Lad, what happened?” Buttface, Liu Jingning, and the others were also concerned about Xu Que, and they questioned him quickly.

“It is major,” Xu Que shook his head and wore a grave look.

He informed them about the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, as well as his relationship with Xuanyuan Wanrong.

Buttface and Duan Jiude and the others were dumbfounded.

This outcome was really unimaginable!

“It turns out that...the death in 49 days referred to this matter,” Duan Jiude smiled bitterly.

“Don’t panic! You still have 40 days, and we can go back to the Four Great Continents in time to deal with this matter,” Buttface shouted.

“If everything is like what you have said, then even if we go to the Four Great Continents, it won’t be of any use,” Mo Junchen, who also wore a grave look, spoke. “Since even Xuanyuan Wanrong can’t deal with this crisis, then will we be able to deal with it?”

As those words echoed out, Buttface and Duan Jiude descended into silence.

Mo Junchen’s statement was quite reasonable. In the past, they had all seen Xuanyuan Wanrong’s great power, and, even though that woman was stranded, she still possessed great power. She wasn’t able to meddle in matters occurring outside the Celestial Burial Valley, but, if one entered the Celestial Burial Valley, then no one could contend against her.

At the very least, the power Xuanyuan Wanrong revealed in the Celestial Burial Valley surpassed a Celestial King.

But now, she couldn’t even protect herself, and it was obvious that she had run into a powerful being. The power of the people in their group was insignificant, and, even if they went to the Four Great Continents, they probably wouldn’t be of any help.

“Guardian Mo, am I really unable to erase my name from the Heavenly Book of Taiyi?” Xu Que looked at Mo Junchen and questioned him.

Mo Junchen knew some rumors about the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, and that was why he was afraid to tell him. He didn’t even dare to mention it.

“It’s really unerasable! At the very least, I have never heard about anyone who managed to achieve it throughout the ages,” Mo Junchen wore a bitter look and shook his head.

“F*ck! This is too unreasonable. At that time, that crazy woman wrote my name there without my consent, so why did it approve it?” Xu Que opened his eyes wide. He felt quite unwell!

Mo Junchen chuckled bitterly again, “This is the authority of the Heaven’s Chosen. They are able to decide whoever they want to walk down Heavenly Selection’s Road. It’s Heaven that gives birth to all beings, and it’s the greatest existence.”

“What d*mned great heaven. We are the Exploding Heavens Faction, and I don’t believe that I can’t break free of the restraints of the Heavenly Book of Taiyi,” Xu Que was high-spirited. He waved his hand and summoned the System.

“System, is there any way to get rid of the Heavenly Book of Taiyi?” He could only place his last hope on the System.

The System quieted for a moment before it replied, “After inspection, it was determined that the System isn’t able to offer this function currently. Host, please promote the System’s grade to Version 12.0.”

“He, he!” Xu Que was so infuriated that he laughed.

“Now, I haven’t even gathered enough Acting Tough Points to promote it to Version 11.0, yet you want me to promote it to Version 12.0? Are you making fun of me?”

“Brother Que, why are you standing in a daze? What happened? Do you have a way to break free of the restraints of the Heavenly Book of Taiyi?” Buttface looked at Xu Que and questioned him.

“I don’t have one,” Xu Que provided a blunt reply.

“Even the System doesn’t have a solution. So how I can come up with a solution?”

“Let’s go back to the Four Great Continents to take a look there. If we bring the two souls with us, we could probably have a chance,” Liu Jingning suggested.

If Xu Que couldn’t break free of the restraints of the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, then the sole way for him to survive was by saving Xuanyuan Wanrong.

“We can only try it, but we must prepare some Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines first.” Xu Que nodded helplessly.

If Xuanyuan Wanrong had really run into a powerful being, then their main fighting power would be Xuanyuan Qishang and Guan Chuchu. This was why they must quickly gather a large number of Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines.

“That said, it doesn’t seem that this region is vast. Where did those few people run?” Duan Jiude looked at the fog in the vicinity before he frowned and spoke.

Xu Que also raised his head and surveyed the surroundings. When they had just entered, he was the sole person who had fallen into an illusion. At that time, Buttface stated in the illusion that he smelled fresh blood, and they had assumed that Yi Fang and his few companions had died because of that.

But now, he had already left the illusion and that scene wasn’t real. Yi Fang and his few companions didn’t die.

“This fog is quite strange. It doesn’t just block our line of sight. It can also obstruct our Soul Detection. It’s fortunate that my nose is quite sharp, so it wouldn’t be difficult for me to find them,” Buttface twitched his nose and spoke confidently.

Xu Que spread out his arms. “Buttface, you must stay on the surface. If no one is left to open the entrance, we won’t be able to get out.”

He found those words quite familiar, and it was because he had said them once in the illusion. Now, he made a long story short and stated them again.

Upon hearing this, Buttface became wild with joy, and he patted his chest before he stated that he would take this heavy responsibility. He flew toward the entrance with delight.

As a matter of fact, he preferred abstaining from doing risky matters that didn’t bring him any benefits.

After Buttface went up, the group moved on and proceeded toward the white fog.

This Mystery Land wasn’t big, and even though it couldn’t be seen completely with a single glance, it still seemed that its scope was limited to the inside of the giant mountain that had been hollowed out. It could be considered a great mountain cave, and finding Yi Fang and his companions wouldn’t be difficult. They just had to walk around in a circle, and they would surely find them.

There were several people standing on the other side of the thick fog, and they wore startled looks, while some of them frowned. They had seen the actions of Xu Que’s group.

If Xu Que walked through the white fog and turned around to take a look, he would be surely shocked.

This white fog was a one-sided cover, and if one looked through it from one side, his line of sight would be limited. But, if he crossed the fog and looked at it from the other side, he would see everything with a glance, and he wouldn’t even see the white fog any longer.

This was like a one-way glass. It seemed like an ordinary mirror, but if one observed it from the other side, one would discover that it was transparent. This was the same for the current white fog. It was a pity that it was Yi Fang and his few companions who stood on the transparent side.

This was why they had managed to detect Xu Que and his companions when they entered the white fog.

“What is going on? How did they get here?” Yi Fang frowned. He had recognized Xu Que.

After all, the fame of Xu Que’s father had been so great during the last period. At first, the Heavenly Palace Academy had issued an arrest warrant for him and spread his portraits to all the Great Celestial Realms. Soon after, he became the Heavenly Palace Academy’s Deputy Dean, and then he declared war against the three big families and killed the Heavenly Palace Academy’s great deacon. News about those shocking feats had spread out and everyone had heard about him.

Moreover, he still had some conflicts with the Divine Farmer Clan, and they had classified him as an important person. They were always on guard against him.

“Since he has appeared here, doesn’t this mean that the two elders are already...” Someone recalled the two Taiyi Celestials on the surface in charge of guarding, and his expression changed drastically.

Since Xu Que’s father had come down, it was obvious that the two elders were likely dead.

“Hold on, this is probably an opportunity,” Yi Fang said, as his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the cold and elegant woman, and he sneered and said, “Little sister, you know what to do, don’t you?”

He emphasized the word do...
