“Oh gross, I haven’t seen this old b*stard for lifetimes, and this is how he ends up. He’s horrifying and dirty, and I don’t want to carry him on my back,” Buttface said as he looked at the creature that had been in the grave with a disgusted look on his face.

“Since you’ve said this, I’m now really curious. What exactly is the species of this seafood?” Xu Que asked, as he’d been surprised at what had come out of the tomb.

“This is...can’t you guess?” Buttface pointed at the creature and turned toward Xu Que. “This is the Sea Tribe’s king, and they call it the Sea King.”

“Sea King?”

Xu Que raised his brows in wonder. “Is this a sea cucumber?”

The Sea King was what is commonly called a sea cucumber. On Earth, this wasn’t just a precious food ingredient, it was also a famous medicinal ingredient. It was even recorded in the Compendium of Medical Herbs. It had a salty flavor, and it was said to nourish kidneys, marrow, and help with urination. It was also thought to cure impotence and was on a par with ginseng.

“That’s right, I remember now. You humans also call this a sea cucumber.” Buttface nodded as he remembered.

“F*ck! Buttface, this is good stuff. We now have a way to cure your illness,” Xu Que spoke with delight as he patted Buttface on the shoulder.

This large sea cucumber was 10,000 years old. They could use it to make a nourishing soup.

“F*ck! When did I get ill?” Buttface asked as he jumped in fright.

“Aren’t you a little...that’s not right, it isn’t just a little...you’re very impotent. Buttface, I have to inform you that this sea cucumber is good at strengthening your thing.” Xu Que made a silly face as he laughed at Buttface.

Buttface knew Xu Que was teasing him, but he still felt insulted. This was why he promptly yelled, “What the h*ll can it strengthen?”

“That’s right, that’s right.” Xu Que kept on nodding.

“Right...what’s right?” Buttface was completely confused.

“F*ck!”

All of a sudden, a loud RUMBLE that was caused by a heavy object falling could be heard echoing all around.

Buttface shouted promptly, “F*ck! I’ve almost forgotten something. Lad, take him quickly to the palace and let’s replace this Spirit Core. If we don’t do so, the Spirit Core will collapse.”

“F*ck!

Upon hearing this, Xu Que waved his hand. The whole palace shook, and it started flying up.

Buttface carried the sea cucumber on his shoulders with no regard to its dirtiness as he quickly headed out and left this place with Xu Que.

RUMBLE!

The next instant, the Snow Palace fell heavily upon the room that had contained the Black Jade Stone box and the dark iron shackles.

PHEW! “We succeeded.” Buttface heaved a sigh of relief when he realized how close they had come to not succeeding.

“Fine, let’s not waste our breath. Let’s handle our proper business quickly.” Xu Que wasn’t in the mood to joke with Buttface. Even if this sea cucumber was quite nourishing, this still wasn’t a good time to eat it.

Their top priority was an urgent matter related to his survival.

.....

SWOOSH!

After a short while, the human and the dog rushed out of the mountain range. Xu Que took the lead and Buttface, who was carrying the large sea cucumber, followed him closely.

Their objective was quite clear. It was the mountain range where Xuanyuan Wanrong was situated.

According to their time calculations, they had just one last night left. The next day was the day of Xu Que’s demise as mentioned in the prophecy.

Success or failure would be determined by this endeavor!

“Lad, if we make the wrong guess, what will happen? If you’re really not related to that woman, then everything you’ve done will bring about your destruction.” On their way to the mountain range, Buttface got serious and questioned Xu Que. This was something rarely seen.

His sole worry was karma!

If, in the end, Xu Que died after his arrival in the Four Continents, then the prophecy would be the real reason why Xu Que had died.

This was why Xu Que was gambling with the conclusion. He gambled that his death was going to be due to Xuanyuan Wanrong, as well as the Heavenly Book of Taiyi.

Now, they were going to change where Xuanyuan Wanrong was, and this was tantamount to saving Xuanyuan Wanrong, as well as Xu Que.

“It doesn’t matter, there are some things you must do even if you know the final outcome,” Xu Que replied calmly.

The prophecy’s conclusion was only a path shown to him.

If this path was what he’d hoped for, then he must work harder and do more than before to walk down this path.

If this path was wrong, then he’d still work hard to change it.

This was like having a fortune-teller inform you that you would get very rich. If you stayed at home every day without doing anything, then the result would be the opposite of what the fortune-teller had said.

It was only he himself that could determine his future.

Any prophecy or anything else could just go to h*ll.

One must stop caring about survival and death and do everything one could to change what one couldn’t accept.

He didn’t just think these thoughts due to his fiery temper. These were his convictions, as well as a type of bravery.

“I have worked hard, and this is why I won’t regret what I’m doing no matter what the final outcome. I’ve done everything just to let people know that my choice was right.”

SWOOSH!

As an ear-rending noise exploded around them, Xu Que fell from the sky and landed on a flat altar.

This was the summit of the altar where Xuanyuan Wanrong’s body was located, and her coffin, as well as the familiar-looking palace, were underground.

This was probably a woman who’d loved living in palaces.

“Hee, hee, this woman is really fearless. She’s still sleeping even when she’s at death’s door.” After Xu Que had examined the region below him with his soul sense, he couldn’t help but shake his head and sneer coldly.

He’d managed to detect Xuanyuan Wanrong’s aura, and this might’ve been due to the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. Her aura was quite calm, and this meant that she didn’t know anything about the situation in the outside world. She was still sleeping and cultivating in seclusion.

“Lad, I don’t think she’s sleeping. She probably knows what’s going on, but can’t do anything about it.” Buttface spoke mockingly, as he came over dragging the sea cucumber.

Xuanyuan Wanrong surely knew that there was a Worldly Furnace within the Celestial Burial Valley. If this hadn’t been the case, she wouldn’t have chosen to take refuge here to avoid the Law End Era.

However, when she’d first entered the Celestial Burial Valley, it hadn’t gone through any changes, and Xuanyuan Wanrong was at the center of the Worldly Furnace. This was a treasure land that would help her get many benefits.

But now, the Celestial Burial Valley’s mountain range had been relocated and its Spirit Core had been activated. Everything here was slated to become offerings to help the Spirit Core.

Even though the Worldly Furnace still hadn’t started operating completely, Buttface didn’t believe that Xuanyuan Wanrong wouldn’t detect the large Blood Sacrifice influence.

SIGH! “I can’t do anything about this. If she hadn’t forcefully pulled me into the Heavenly Book of Taiyi, I wouldn’t have to run over here to save her, would I?” As Xu Que spoke, he got angry. He’d been implicated by another person for no reason, and his life was threatened. The crux of the issue was that he didn’t get any benefits from their association, yet they would still share life and death. This was a great scam!

“Forget about it, isn’t it all because you have bad luck?” Buttface made a face at him, and glee was apparent on his face. It was obvious that he took pleasure in Xu Que’s misfortune!

But when Xu Que glared at him the next moment, Buttface cowered and looked anxious. He said sternly, “Lad, I made calculations on my fingers and I think we’re late. We should quickly activate the altar.”

“Hee, hee, so you do know fear? Your eyesight is better than before.” Xu Que chuckled.

He strode toward the center of the altar. His gaze penetrated the altar and swept the region beneath it.

The palace was still as before, and it had an intact ice coffin beneath it. Xuanyuan Wanrong’s body could be clearly seen there.

She had a beautiful face with an ice-cold air that would prevent anything from approaching her. Her eyes were closed, and she lay calmly in the coffin. This sight resembled a breathtaking painting. No one would ever imagine that it was real.

TSK! “What’s so great about being pretty? Someone with your bad temper deserves to stay single,” Xu Que ridiculed her. He wasn’t in the mood to admire her beauty.

However, as his voice echoed, a SWOOSH could be heard, and Xuanyuan Wanrong opened her eyes. She looked attentively at Xu Que.

Meanwhile, the Firestorm Wheels in the System storage started shivering intensely. It seemed as if the two souls were stimulated by something. They were angry, and they tried to rush out. The two souls’ murderous aura locked onto Xu Que.

F*ck!

Xu Que jumped in fright, and then he got angry.

He was aware that the two souls had released their murderous aura because Xuanyuan Wanrong’s murderous aura had targeted him.

Xu Que was displeased by this. “I’ve come back from the Heaven Continent with great difficulty to save you, yet you want to kill me? Do you think that I’m just trying to scare people?

“A saint once said, you should always stick to your guns. Today, I will accompany you until the end.”

Soon after, Xu Que hardened his heart and summoned his courage. He became more daring due to his anger.

He looked attentively at Xuanyuan Wanrong within the ice coffin. He used his most imposing manner and didn’t cower. He shouted loudly, “Please forgive my impudence.”
