Xu Que dashed out and cursed angrily, which shocked Liu Jingning and Buttface.

“Little brat, what happened? Why are you in such a panic after taking out an elixir?” Buttface asked suspiciously.

“I met a tough opponent . . . Forget it, I don’t want to talk about it. I’ve got the Humanoid Fruit!” Xu Que said when he took out a red human-shaped fruit from the System Package.

Originally, he’d planned to tell them about the woman in Taoist robes. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this issue had been caused by the mistake he’d made first.

If he hadn’t annoyed that woman in Taoist robes with his rude words, she might not have driven him out forcibly. Because he didn’t want to come back empty-handed, and because he’d counted on his Divine Escape Spells, he’d ruined half of the elixir fields and had uttered so many ruthless words. As a result, he’d almost lost his life after acting tough.

It was not a glorious deed, so he chose to omit it.

Liu Jingning took the Humanoid Fruit calmly and glanced at Xu Que with concern. “Little brat, you’re not wounded, right?”

“Wounded? Are you kidding? I am invincible!” Xu Que exclaimed with raised eyebrows. However, deep in his heart, he was not confident in saying that. This time he’d managed to escape using his wisdom. Anyone else in his position would have been killed on the spot.

He was greatly shocked. Although one couldn’t tell the age of a cultivator from their face, Duan Jiude should at least be hundreds of years old—maybe even 1,000 years old. As his master, the woman in Taoist robes was at least several thousand years old!

How could a woman of several thousand years old have such a pretty face and sexy body? This was totally unbelievable!

“How much do you know about this Mystery Land? Why is it so mysterious?” Xu Que looked at Liu Jingning and Buttface. He wanted to know the history of this Mystery Land because it might be related to the woman in Taoist robes.

After all, he could now basically confirm that the woman had stayed in the elixir fields for many years. Otherwise, her strength would have shocked the entire World of Cultivators, let alone her amazing appearance and temperament.

“This Mystery Land is hard to understand. It has existed since ancient times. People say it was spotted by a powerhouse whose name was ‘Immortal Tai Yuan.’ He composed a notebook on it, which stated that this Mystery Land has nine layers. The ninth layer is connected to the World of Celestials. No one has ever reached the ninth layer. Therefore, this place is called the ‘Tai Yuan Mystery Land!’” Liu Jingning said. That was all she knew.

Buttface had his nose in the air. He aloofly crossed his paws over his chest. “You’re wrong! From what I know, this Mystery Land is a fragment of a small world! During the war between celestials and demons in the ancient times, part of the battlefield was smashed, which fell down and landed in this area!”

“A world fragment? How could that be?” Liu Jingning was shocked.

Xu Que also frowned. What Buttface said was too incredible.

“It is absolutely true,” Buttface said confidently. “I bought an ancient book from a street peddler. It said so in that book!”

Xu Que eye twitched. “How do you know a story in a book you bought from a street peddler is true?”

“I can believe it’s true, can’t I?” Buttface said.

Bang!

Xu Que kicked Buttface. If this dog went several days without being beaten he became arrogant!

However, he didn’t continue his investigation. No matter what this Mystery Land was, Liu Jingning and Buttface only had very limited information about it and couldn’t make it clear.

Moreover, people didn’t know Duan Jiude’s history or background, let alone who his master was!

It seemed they weren’t from this era or the four continents!

“Okay, little brat, since you’ve got what you want, let’s hurry to the third layer. We can’t waste too much time here!” Buttface urged.

“Are you planning to go to the third layer?” Liu Jingning asked in surprise.

Xu Que nodded. “Yes, do you want to join us?”

Liu Jingning was stunned. Then, she shook her head with a wry smile. “We can’t reach the third layer!”

“Why not?”

“This area is too large. If we had five or six years, we might be able to reach the third layer. Now we only have two-and-a-half years left. Even if we do our best, we could reach the central area of the second layer at most!”

Buttface jumped up proudly and, with a smile, said, “That’s because you’re weak! I know a shortcut that directly leads to the third layer by bypassing the second layer!”

“A shortcut?” Xu Que and Liu Jingning asked at the same time.

Buttface nodded. “Exactly! It’s a waterway. The river water flows upward. We only need a boat to reach the third layer!”

“Are you talking about the Upflowing Sea in the firstt layer?” Liu Jingning asked in surprise.

Buttface was about to nod his head, but hesitated. With wide eyes he said, “Its name is not the ‘Upflowing Sea!’ It’s just a small river called the ‘Upflowing River!’”

Liu Jingning looked at Buttface with a curious expression and said, “It’s recorded that it used to be called the Upflowing River many years ago. But now it’s a sea, and not all the sea water flows up. Now it’s a place for strength competition among the big families and sects!”

“A sea? Holy sh*t! How is that possible?” Buttface asked.

Xu Que was also shocked. “A place for strength competition among the big families and sects? What does that mean?”

After pondering it for a while, Liu Jingning smiled and said, “You can come with me to have a look. I’ll tell you more on the way. The competition will start in the next few days!”

Xu Que nodded immediately. “Okay!”

He was quite curious about how a river had been turned into a sea. How could the sea water flow up? This was so amazing! Maybe there were precious treasuries in the sea!

Led by Liu Jingning, they left that creepy mountain and started to dash toward the central area.

Xu Que didn’t want to inform Duan Jiude. He worried that if Duan Jiude broke the restrictive spells, that woman in Taoist robes would come out and give him a hard time.

In addition, now he’d obtained five Genesis Herbs. He only needed to locate the Living Holy Water. Therefore, he needed nothing to do with Duan Jiude now. He had to stay away from that shameless old man to avoid staining his pure heart.

However, when they got around the mountain and were about to fly to the central area, they passed through the sky above Duan Jiude and the rest of the crowd.

Many Holy Sons and Holy Virgins had left. Only several people were still there; they wanted to witness Duan Jiude break the restrictive spells!

When Duan Jiude’s work was halfway finished his hand vibrated abruptly. Then, he stood there in a daze.

The next moment, he cried something in a sharp voice with his old face full of terror: “Master!”

“Holy sh*t! Little sister, please fly faster! We can’t stay here for a long time!” Hearing Duan Jiude’s cry, a horrified Xu Que urged Liu Jingning to speed up immediately, for he thought the woman in Taoist robes was about to come out.

Bang!

Just at this moment, a big bang came in from below.

Duan Jiude had been blown away. He fell hard on the ground. Then, he stood up in fear and started to flee helter-skelter as he loudly screamed, “Master! This is a misunderstanding! It’s definitely a misunderstanding! I didn’t know you were here! But why are you still alive? Ah—!”

Hardly had Duan Jiude finished his words when he cried miserably again. He was blown off by another formless force.

“What . . . is going on?” Liu Jingning was dumbfounded as she watched from the sky.

Does Duan Jiude have a master?

Duan Jiude was more powerful than cultivators at the Form Synthesis Stage. If he still had a master, how powerful would that guy be?

Could this guy be a cultivator at the Crossing Calamity Stage or the Great Vehicle Stage, or could this guy be a . . . celestial?

Duan Jiude was still being beaten up. No matter how hard he tried to escape, he was repeatedly hit by formless force in the air.

As he cried miserably, he started babbling like a psycho.

“Master! Please stop. I was expelled by you. What makes you beat me up? Ouch!

“Master! It’s got nothing to do with me! A guy named is ‘Xu Que’ forced me to break the restrictive spells on the mountain. You should vent your rage on him!

“Yes! Yes yes! It’s him, Xu Que! What? You also know him? Huh? You want me to catch him?

“No, Master! You always keep your distance from men, right? Why are you suddenly interested in a young man? Are you going to become an ordinary woman and have a passionate romance? No, no! I can’t bless this marriage! I would rather die than call him Master’s wife! Ah—!”

Before Duan Jiude finished his words, he was blasted off mercilessly. This time he spat blood. Apparently, his words had completely annoyed his master, who punished him ruthlessly.

In the sky, Xu Que was urging Liu Jingning to leave this place as soon as possible!

However, when he heard Duan Jiude address him as ‘Master’s wife,’ he was also annoyed, so he angrily cursed, “Duan Jiude! F*ck your master! Are you psycho? I’m a man! Why did you call me Master’s wife?”
