Chapter 765: Open the Seal!

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

“What?”

Xu Que was surprised.

Finally, we’ve reached the last seal!

But what should I do next?

Should I really make trouble for her and ruin her plan, after reaching the last seal by going through untold hardships and dangers?

But if I don’t ruin her plan, what if she releases the living creature under the Five Elements Mountain?

“Joker!” Zixia Fairy said, as she turned to Xu Que.

“What?” Xu Que came to himself and looked at Zixia Fairy.

Zixia Fairy hesitated a bit. After a short while, she said as if she had made up her mind, “Joker, do you know why I have to open the seal?”

What? Is she going to tell me her identity?

Xu Que was surprised, but still braced himself to say, “I don’t know. But...I’ve heard a living creature is being subdued under the Five Elements Mountain. When we were heading for this position, I guessed this would be the place where it is subdued!”

“A living creature?” Zixia Fairy was stunned. Then she said, shaking her head, “No, this is not true! Joker, look at this!” As she said this, she took out a jade slip from her storage ring and injected her True Core Strength into it.

Whoosh!

The next moment, dazzling light appeared on the jade slip, which formed a lot of characters in the air.

“In Year 421 of the Ancient Barbaric Calendar, I found the Vajra Five Elements Stick, from which I got the method to open the seals. So, I investigated the Five Elements Mountain again and tried to open the seals. I didn’t expect when I opened the seals that the heaven and earth would be trembling and the void cracked. I could faintly see a strand of golden light slipped out when the void was torn open! Then, I checked the area beneath the Five Elements Mountain, but I found nothing there.... After that, I felt guilty for what I had done, so I brought Dragons Veins of five elements here to re-seal the Five Elements Mountain at the cost of 3,000 years of my life.

– by Kylin Patriarch, the first Sect Leader of the Mighty Sect”

Gasp!

After reading those characters, Xu Que couldn’t help but gasp! Could this Kylin Patriarch really be Buttface? According to his style, he would never re-seal the Five Elements Mountain at the cost of 3,000 years of his life!

That would be impossible! Could it be that he was bragging?

Holy crap! This is highly possible!

Also, the golden light he mentioned could be the living creature released by him!

Moreover, Buttface had found a personal letter of the Kylin Patriarch in the Mighty Sect, which said the Kylin Patriarch used to investigate the Five Elements Mountain but found nothing!

However, this jade slip included the most recent information, which was held by Zixia Fairy. That was the reason that Buttface and Duan Jiude didn’t know about it. At the thought of this, Xu Que figured out the origin and development of this issue. Then, he let out a sigh of relief.

At least, it was unnecessary to be perplexed about whether he should stop Zixia Fairy. As long as there was no living creature under the Five Elements Mountain, no danger would be caused if this seal was opened.

So he turned to Zixia Fairy and asked with “puzzlement”, “Lady Azi, what is...this Mighty Sect? I’ve never heard of it!”

Zixia Fairy replied in an unnatural way as she tried to avoid eye contact with Xu Que, “Eh...the Mighty Sect is not located in the Five Elements Mountain but in the overseas area. It is quite normal that you haven’t heard of it.”

“Oh, I see!” Xu Que nodded. However, his heart was filled with wild joy.

I haven’t heard of the Mighty Sect?

No way! I even know Buttface, who is the founder of your Mighty Sect!

“Joker!” Zixia Fairy emboldened herself and said in a low voice at this time, “Actually...I also come from the overseas area, and...”

Xu Que interrupted her before she had time to finish her words, “What? Do you also come from the overseas area?”

A self-deprecating wry smile appeared on his face. Then, he said in a lonely voice, “That explains why I haven’t met a powerful cultivator like you in the Five Elements Mountain before!”

He knew Zixia Fairy was trying to tell him her real identity, so he stopped her immediately. After all, he had also concealed his identity. Moreover, if Zixia Fairy knew his real identity, she might kill him instantly.

Therefore, he stopped her so that both of them could continue to conceal their identities. In this way, if she blamed him in the future, he could answer her, “You also concealed your identity. How could you say I am shameless?”

“Joker, I didn’t mean to conceal my identity!” Zixia Fairy explained hurriedly.

She noticed Xu Que was so excited after knowing she was from the overseas area, so she didn’t dare to continue her confession. She was worried this young man couldn’t accept the fact if she told him she was the Peak Lord of the Zixia Peak of the Mighty Sect several thousand years ago and now she had already reached the Great Vehicle Stage!

“I know, it doesn’t matter. I don’t blame you!” Xu Que waved his hand with a faint smile. However, a strand of “melancholy” and “depression” appeared in his eyes. His mood change was noticed by Zixia Fairy, who started to feel guilty in her heart.

After a short silence, she said again, “Actually, the overseas area is in great danger now of being invaded by its enemies. So, I tried to open the seal of the Five Elements Mountain, which could enhance the power of one shackle in the overseas area, so that it could keep the enemies off!”

As expected, she came here to open the seal! Xu Que murmured to himself.

However, he still pretended to be surprised as he said, “I know that. Members of the Exploding Heavens Faction are talking about this topic now. Xu Que said he can defeat those invaders. Why do you still want to open the seal?”

“You underestimate those invaders. Xu Que couldn’t even.... Xu Que is not powerful enough to defeat them! Therefore, I have to open the seal to give the cultivators of the overseas area several decades to prepare their defenses!”

Zixia Fairy’s voice became lower and lower. Because she had just told two lies.

First, she had been about to say that Xu Que couldn’t even defeat her!

Second, she wanted to open the seal so that she could have several decades more to prepare the defense; otherwise, she was not confident enough to defeat those invaders! However, her reaction was also noticed by Xu Que, who had figured out her intention.

In these circumstances, Xu Que couldn’t argue with her. So, he nodded and said immediately, “I see, Lady Azi, you are so nice! Let’s open the seal together to buy those cultivators more time!”

“OK!” Zixia Fairy nodded immediately, as she felt a sense of relief. After that, she flew toward the altar hurriedly as if she was afraid Xu Que would ask more questions.

Xu Que smiled, as Zixia Fairy had become more and more lovely to him. However, he pretended he knew nothing as he followed her.

Soon, the two of them landed at the center of the altar.

Zixia Fairy performed her magic art and a dazzling light appeared in her palm. Then, she hit the altar with her palm!

Boom!

All of a sudden, all the patterns of the altar lit up and started to give out dazzling white light! The next moment, the altar shook violently. Along with a deafening big bang, the altar started to sink rapidly....
