Chapter 868: The Restrictive Spell On The Corpse

At this time, on the vast rocky plain, the powerhouses of the Imperial Palace and the female cultivators of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion had entered the area successfully. They could feel their True Core Strength was being consumed by the chilly wind. However, they could do nothing to stop this nerve-wracking problem.

The powerhouses of the Imperial Palace, like Buttface, even wanted to dig holes in the ground with their magic artifacts, so that they could recover their True Core Strength before moving forward again.

However, just at this moment, someone shouted in surprise at he looked to the front, “Look! Is that…the Imperial Palace?”

The rest of the people were startled by his words. Then they looked up and were dumbfounded by what they saw. For powerhouses of the Imperial Palace, that palace was so familiar! Even the female cultivators of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion could recognize the palace that was floating in the air as the Imperial Palace of the Xuanzhen Continent!

“What…is going on?”

“Is the Emperor here?”

“No, the Emperor would never move the Imperial Palace, for it is the foundation of our nation!”

“Could this be an illusion?”

The Imperial Palace’s powerhouses were totally confused.

They had been in the Road of Heavenly Ascension for several months and didn’t know that the Imperial Palace had been taken away by Xu Que. Therefore, they preferred to believe it was an illusion at this moment!

Suddenly, a dog who was gnawing meat between his paws appeared on the roof of a building.

“What?”

People were surprised. Then, they all shouted at the same time, “Buttface!”

“Crap!”

Buttface, who was surprised by their shouting, dropped the meat that he held in his paws. Then, he started to shout angrily, “Are you insane? Why did you shout at me? Do you not believe I can smash you to death?”

“Great, it is not an illusion!” People shouted excitedly as they quickened their step to rush toward the Imperial Palace. However, the powerhouses of the Imperial Palace were still puzzled. They didn’t understand how the Imperial Palace could appear in this area! But it was not the time to speculate. They had to rush up there together with the rest of the people to evade the ill effects of the chilly wind.

Rumble!

At this time, the Imperial Palace trembled a bit and started to fly forward rapidly.

Howl! “My meat!” Buttface, who was trying to pick up his meat that had fallen on the roof, shouted miserably, as the meat flew away as the Imperial Palace started to move forward.

“My fellow cultivator, please wait for us!” The powerhouses of the Imperial Palace shouted hurriedly as they quickened their steps to move forward. The female cultivators of the Exquisite Beauty Pavilion also started to run to catch up.

However, the Imperial Palace didn’t slow down and continued to fly forward rapidly and smoothly. The only comforting thing was that they managed to hide behind the Imperial Palace. The chilly wind, which had been blocked by the giant palace, stopped eroding their True Core Strength.

At this time, in the main hall of the Imperial Palace, Xu Que, who had tamed this palace easily, was driving it at will. By sitting on the dragon throne together with Jiang Hongyan, he could go anywhere driving this palace!

“No wonder it is a Celestial Artifact! Impressive!” Xu Que said satisfactorily.

For him, although the palace couldn’t be used as a weapon, it was more practical than the Ancient Life and Death Wheel. Now he could go anywhere by sitting in this palace, which was much better than driving a jet fighter or a sports car!

“At this speed, we can cover the entire area soon!” Jiang Hongyan said as she looked forward. A spot of light had appeared in the distance, which seemed like the exit of the cave.

Xu Que nodded. “We have almost reached the end of the cave. But we haven’t found Zhang Tiandao yet. Nobody knows where he died…. Wait!”

Before finishing his sentence, Xu Que’s eyes lit up and he stood up.

Standing in the main hall, he could see everything outside. He found a burrow in the ground which was quite close to the exit. Although there were numerous burrows in this area, this one was quite different, for its opening was covered by a hide, of which the material was identical with that of the map obtained by Wei Zixun!

“It seems that we have found him!” Xu Que smiled as he directed the Imperial Palace to rush toward the exit. In a short while, the tunnel became increasingly narrow. Xu Que left the Imperial Palace and started to move forward with Jiang Hongyan and Buttface on foot.

People behind them were surprised, but they were sure the Imperial Palace was controlled by Xu Que!

“My fellow cultivator, how…could you have the Imperial Palace?” A powerhouse of the Imperial Palace couldn’t help but ask.

“I stole it from the Emperor!” Xu Que answered briefly as he dashed toward the burrow without turning around.

You stole it?

Hearing that, people were totally shocked and their eyes opened wide.

Damn! This guy is definitely a psycho!

How could he steal the Imperial Palace from the Emperor?

“This guy took the Holy Senior away and stole the Imperial Palace! I guess the Emperor must be pissed off!”

“Wait, I guess he is hiding in the Road of Heavenly Ascension to avoid the deadly chase of the Emperor!”

“Holy crap! This is highly possible!”

The powerhouses of the Imperial Palace swallowed and stared at each other in surprise.

Nobody in this world could be so arrogant in the Road of Heavenly Ascension after offending the Emperor!

…

By this time, Xu Que had arrived at the burrow. He landed on the ground immediately.

Boom!

His magnificent Soul Strength gushed into the burrow directly like surging waves!

“What?” Xu Que frowned suddenly.

His Soul Strength was blocked by an invisible force in the burrow. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t push against that force a bit.

“Restrictive spell!” Xu Que figured out that a restrictive spell, which was quite extraordinary, had been set up in the burrow.

Whoosh!

He dashed to the opening of the burrow and started to check it out with his eyes. As expected, a cloud of dazzling light with ancient Taoist Connotation was lingering in the burrow. Numerous runes were flowing on it. It was a quite powerful and extraordinary restrictive spell.

Through the light screen of the restrictive spell, Xu Que saw a corpse lying on the ground. On the stone wall beside the corpse, a few lines of text were carved!

“The one who brings the bitch Yi Ren here could pass through the restrictive spell and get everything I have!”

Yi Ren was an ancient family name, which was also the family name of the woman who betrayed Zhang Tiandao by escaping alone. Zhang Tiandao also mentioned in his last words that the one who could bring the head of that bitch back would get everything he had, including the Space-Breaking Spells!

It was a pity that over 10,000 years had passed. That woman might have died or become a Celestial. Otherwise, Wei Zixun and his underlings wouldn’t come here empty-handed!

“It seems I have to break the restrictive spell forcibly. I don’t know whether the cave could be ruined if I use the King of Tough-Acting Fist here.…” Xu Que said hesitantly, touching his jaw.

…

Meanwhile, on a rocky hill outside the exit, a man and a woman, who were strongly built and with a pair of white feather wings behind their backs, were looking at the stone wall carefully. They were quite like angels!

Xu Que and the rest of the people in the cave were being displayed on the stone wall. When they saw Xu Que wandering at the opening of the burrow, they started to smile disdainfully.

“After so many years, finally we got some people who seek death here again!”

“Those inferior human cultivators are really foolish!”

“If the things inside could be obtained easily, the Heavenly Human Tribe would have obtained them a long time ago! They will never get the chance to get those things!”

“Alas! That restrictive spell is too powerful! However, the Head of our Tribe said the restrictive spell will be weakened after 10,000 years. At that time, we could obtain the Space-Breaking Spells and break new ground after leaving this place!”

“It is a pity. If we knew this man had so many precious items, we would have taken him down directly instead of throwing him into a trial!”

“It is useless to say this now. We weren’t even born at that time! Now what I am interested in is how to play with these inferior human cultivators! If we are not restricted by the rules in our Tribe, I really want to go out and find them now!”

“Hah-hah, take it easy! The Heavenly Human Trial hasn’t been activated for many years. When they leave the cave, they will become our playthings in the trial!”
