Chapter 1300: Is It Excessive?

Ji Wuyun and the Dark Shadow Pagoda members left. The crowd outside the battlefield’s ruins was confused, and they all wore shellshocked expressions, as they were thinking: “If he cherishes his life, he wouldn’t go inside. What did Ji Wuyun mean by such words? Could there be a powerful expert inside the ancient ruins that is protecting Xu Que’s father? Otherwise, how would a sickly old man at the Half-Celestial Stage prevent Yi Dan from taking revenge for Yi Zhong?”

Someone else frowned and interjected, “That’s right, consider this matter carefully. Yi Zhong’s guardians were all Golden Celestials. Since even they couldn’t avenge Yi Zhong, how could Yi Zhong’s elder brother be of any use?”

A bystander chuckled at that and spoke up, “Are you stupid? If a Golden Celestial couldn’t take revenge, it doesn’t mean that a Taiyi Genuine Celestial can’t achieve it. You shouldn’t forget where Yi Dan is training. Also, he still has a Taiyi Genuine Celestial with him. When the moment comes, that expert just has to keep watch outside, and, once Xu Que’s father comes out, who would be able to protect him?”

“That isn’t necessarily the case. The Jade Lake also has a Taiyi Genuine Celestial, who could intervene.”

“It’s improbable, do you think that they will wage war against the Divine Farmer Clan for a sickly old man at the Half-Celestial Stage?”

“It’s possible? You shouldn’t forget that the Jade Lake Saint Bai Cailing is the daughter-in-law of Xu Que’s father.”

The crowd discussing this matter became spirited and argued more and more intensely, but they still couldn’t come up with any conclusions.

.....

Meanwhile, in a Taoist Sanctum in the depths of the battlefield’s ruins, Xu Que had already been cultivating in seclusion for more than 20 days in the Godhead’s dimension, and finally he went from his former Human Celestial Stage’s peak into the Earth Celestial’s Initial Stage. For the past 20 days, Xu Que had been crazily absorbing the Celestial Core Power provided to him by the Godhead, yet he was still only accumulating power, and it didn’t seem like he would make a breakthrough.

The Godhead had almost gone crazy due to this, as even though the amount of Celestial Core Power it had was tremendous, it was still limited, and, according to its estimations, it should have been enough to help a genius at the peak of the Human Celestial Stage reach the Heaven Celestial Stage. But Xu Que’s current situation was outrageous and abnormal. As time passed, the Godhead worried more and more, and its emotions ended up affecting Xu Que and the dimension inadvertently.

But Xu Que still didn’t stop to reprimand the Godhead. As a matter of fact, his cultivation reached a critical juncture, and soon he reached the Earth Celestial’s Medium Stage. Xu Que’s Dantian was almost saturated due to the past 20 days’ accumulation of Celestial Core Power. Such a tremendous amount of Celestial Core Power was like a boundless sea with raging waves. It was powerful! Xu Que got ready to advance into the Earth Celestial’s Medium Stage, and this wouldn’t just nourish his Holy Physique, it would also let all his Magic Arts and Divine Magic Arts get a promotion. After all, the promotion of a stage level would also promote his Holy Soul and Taoist Connotation, and the same divine and ordinary Magic Arts would release a different power at different stage levels.

Xu Que was aware of the changes in his power. When he had previously been at the peak of the Human Celestial Stage, he was able to face the Divine Farmer Clan’s genius, Yi Zhong, who was a young expert at the Heaven Celestial Stage, but his odds of success had been quite low. If Xu Que hadn’t mounted a sneak attack on him and used the Ancient Life and Death Wheel to obstruct Yi Zhong’s Divine Magical Art and prevent his recovery, the outcome would have been much different. Not only might he have failed to kill Yi Zhong, he might even have been killed by him. Now, however, after Xu Que had reached the Earth Celestial’s Initial Stage, he could clearly detect his power promotion, and he knew he was already qualified to fight Yi Zhong, while if he reached the medium stage and ran into geniuses whose power was at the same level as Yi Zhong’s, he would be able to crush them forcefully.

RUMBLE! At this moment, the Celestial Core Power in Xu Que’s Dantian started getting restless, and it was roaring like a boundless sea with great tsunamis. A great disturbance arose there! The Celestial Core Power in the Godhead’s dimension was suddenly transferred, and it ended up flowing uncontrollably into Xu Que’s body. Such a matter shocked the Godhead, and it quickly exerted its force to regain control over the Celestial Core Power, but it quickly discovered that it had lost any control over it. Such a large amount of Celestial Core Power was like a great flood that escaped after a dike’s destruction, and it flowed crazily toward Xu Que. The Godhead immediately detected that its power was flowing too quickly and even its mind became slightly muddled. Such a matter stirred up its emotions greatly.

The Celestial Core Power absorbed by Xu Que had almost reached the Godhead’s limits. It wasn’t easy for the Godhead to accumulate such a large amount of Celestial Core Power, and it was the foundation of its existence. Once it was deprived of Celestial Core Power, it would die. In the beginning, the Godhead controlled a part of its Celestial Core Power to help Xu Que advance into the Heaven Celestial Stage, but, in the past 20 days, it had already used all its dispensable Celestial Core Power, and, if it continued consuming anything more, it would end up inflicting heavy damages upon its main core.

When the Godhead got ready to stop supplying Celestial Core Power, it found it had lost control. Xu Que unexpectedly entered into a forceful and devilish breakthrough state. He had completely taken control over the Celestial Core Power, and even the Celestial Core Power of the Godhead’s main core was flowing out. The Godhead wanted to cry, but it couldn’t shed tears. If it could speak, it would surely have said to Xu Que, “You have ripped me off!”

As the Celestial Core Power continued flowing out, the Godhead’s main core was finally damaged, but it still couldn’t put up any resistance. It was a Godhead, but it was also just a remnant piece of a complete Godhead. Even though it possessed some abilities, it was still weak and frail. If this hadn’t been the case, it wouldn’t have compromised to someone like Xu Que and it would have devoured him long ago. Now the only thing it could do was to look on helplessly as all the Celestial Core Power it had accumulated through innumerable years was being sucked out by Xu Que, at the same time as its Spiritual Intelligence started disappearing.

The Godhead’s dimension started fracturing gradually, and, as it crumbled, many fractures that ran from its top to its bottom appeared, while the outside world’s light rays reached its inside and shone upon it. Xu Que was still sitting cross-legged in his former place and he continued absorbing Celestial Core Power. After a short while, Xu Que’s Dantian was filled completely by Celestial Core Power, and it became slightly swollen. It was like a balloon filled with air to the point that it almost exploded. When the Dantian neared such an explosion point, a deafening rumbling sound echoed from Xu Que’s body.

RUMBLE! Innumerable light rays emanated from the Dantian, while its power rose drastically, and the Celestial Core Power in it flowed back into the Meridians of Xu Que’s body and formed a current there that expanded his Meridians’ size. Meanwhile, Xu Que’s hair fluttered, as his whole body seemed to bulk up. As his eyes snapped open, he let out a breath of murky air, and he ended up whistling inadvertently.

SWOOSH! The next moment, Xu Que jumped up and thrust out his fist. A giant fist phantom image struck at a certain angle of the Godhead’s dimension that was already riddled with scars, and it immediately made a hole in it. Afterward, Xu Que stopped using his power, and he landed on the ground, while his Dantian calmed down. He still had an elderly appearance, but his demeanor had gone through a great transformation. His eyes didn’t seem muddy any longer; they seemed sharp and profound. Such a matter didn’t occur because the Disguise Puppet had lost its effectiveness. It was because his true pupils and aura were too powerful, and even the Disguise Puppet couldn’t conceal them thoroughly.

“He, he, Earth Celestial’s Medium Stage.” A satisfied smile appeared on Xu Que’s face. The amount of Celestial Core Power he had absorbed in 20 days rivaled what he could have gotten by cultivating outside for several hundred to 1,000 years, and this was a terrifying figure. “F*ck, come on, Godhead, let’s continue. Make an extra effort. I will quickly reach the Heaven Celestial Stage...” Xu Que was still eager to continue, but then he saw the damaged Godhead’s dimension, and he was startled.

“Huh? What happened? Why you have ended up in such a state? Why are you so damaged, can you still bear it? What? You can’t bear it, fine. I won’t cultivate for now. Huh? Why do I feel like you are afraid? Don’t be like this, I have already said that I always keep my word, and since I have said that I wouldn’t harm you, I won’t do so. But it’s premised on the fact that you would help me advance into the Heaven Celestial Stage and give me an inheritance. You didn’t fulfill your conditions, yet you still want me to keep my promise? Don’t you think that you have gone a bit overboard?”
