DING! “It is possible that the Host can obtain a divine artifact through the Lucky Draw. However, the probability is very low at this time. It is not recommended for the Host to give it a try!” The System’s reply echoed in Xu Que’s mind!
Xue Que was not disappointed by the reply, but was surprised a bit. After all, he didn’t think that he could obtain a divine artifact through the Lucky Draw. But the System had just informed him that there was indeed a chance. Although the probability of obtaining it was quite low, there was still a glimmer of hope, which was definitely good news for him!
However, since the System suggested that he not play the Lucky Draw at this time, Xu Que decided not to waste his Acting Tough Points. He had accumulated more than 1 million Acting Tough Points but he hadn’t used them much recently. He was quite powerful now. Most things that were sold in the System store couldn’t help him anymore. On the other hand, he wanted to accumulate more Acting Tough Points so that he could upgrade the System in the future! The things sold in the System store were useless for him now because the version of the System was too low for Xu Que’s current Cultivation Stage. In recent years, his Cultivation Stage had increased rapidly. However, the System was still running on version 10.0, which couldn’t keep up with the pace of his Cultivation Stage.
To some extent, Xu Que had slacked off recently. He hadn’t been acting tough frequently like he did before. The main reason was that he didn’t want to rely on the System. He had made up his mind to find his own way to get stronger. Thus he had managed to obtain the Holy Physique, which was a big gain for him. However, the only thing that annoyed him was that he needed a lot of time to cultivate his Holy Physique. Xu Que was not a patient man. He could never stay still long enough to spend a lot of time cultivating his Holy Physique by performing secluded cultivation.
So now Xu Que had fixed his eyes on the System again. For him, the System was a shortcut and also his greatest asset. He didn’t want to waste his time in performing secluded cultivation. But he also needed to stay alive while waiting for his Holy Physique to reach a high level. He had to get more things from the System store to save his life. For example, the Divine Escape Spell that he had used previously had already been replaced by the Celestial Grade Divine Escape Spell. However, when he had to confront the powerhouses in the Heaven Continent, even a cultivator at the Golden Celestial Stage could inactivate a Celestial Grade Divine Escape Spell. He had to find something new by upgrading the System.
When he upgraded the System from version 9.0 to version 10.0, he spent 1,280,000 Acting Tough Points. Now, if he wanted to upgrade the System to version 11.0, he would need 2,560,000 Acting Tough Points. Although it was not an astronomical figure for Xu Que, he couldn’t scrape together so many Acting Tough Points in a short time. He only had a bit more than 1 million Acting Tough Points–he wouldn’t waste them in the Lucky Draw.
The probability of getting a divine artifact in the Lucky Draw was very low. Even if he was lucky enough to get a divine artifact, he was not powerful enough to use it. After all, divine artifacts were designed for the deities. A cultivator at the summit of the Human Celestial Stage like him would never be able to use them. It was a paradoxical and embarrassing situation. If he had a divine artifact, he could obtain the divine fire that could kill even those Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven! However, if he was able to activate a divine artifact, the divine fire would be useless for him because he would already be capable of killing the Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven or even Celestial Kings with the divine artifact!
“That’s what I call a conundrum, alas! This is so depressing! I still have a lot of acting tough to accomplish in order to reach my goals!” Xu Que sighed to himself as he closed the System interface.
BOOM!
All of a sudden, a big bang rang out from the ruins. It seemed as if something had irritated the divine fire, making it become more furious and magnificent as if it would devour the entire world. Even though Xu Que was still far away from the divine fire, he was intimidated by its power. “Don’t tell me Mo Junchen has failed!” Xu Que thought to himself as he frowned.
“Elder Xu, is it...safe here?” Bai Cailing, who was also startled by the furious divine fire, asked as she looked at Xu Que. Everyone else also looked at Xu Que anxiously. Although they were quite powerful, they had also sensed danger in this place.
“Stay here and don’t move. Let me check it out!” Xu Que replied calmly. Then he jumped up and dashed toward the divine fire. Ji Wuyun and the other sovereigns made eye contact. Then they also jumped up and rushed toward the divine fire, following Xu Que out of curiosity. They had reasons for believing that, although the place that was filled with raging fire was quite dangerous, it was also highly possible to find precious items there.
Xu Que hesitated a bit when he saw Ji Wuyun and the rest of the sovereigns following him. But he didn’t stop them because he couldn’t stop them and it was not necessary to stop them. Soon, Xu Que and the others arrived at the ruins, which were filled with divine fire. There they saw Mo Junchen. Mo Junchen was floating in the sky, holding out his arms. Dazzling light gushed out of his fingertips. A lump of inky black metal liquid was being quenched by the divine fire in his hands.
“Is this...the Purple Sky Age Metal?” Someone shouted in surprise. Bai Cailing, Ji Wuyun, the other sovereigns, and even the guardians were shocked and couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
“I didn’t expect the Best-grade Purple Sky Age Metal existed in this world! And the quantity is so large!”
“My God! Did they find the Purple Sky Age Metal just now?”
GASP! “If we can get some, this adventure will have been worthwhile!”
All the people were chattering, as greedy lights flashed in their eyes. A guardian of the Dishou Mountain from the Tianliang Celestial Realm said excitedly as he looked at Xu Que, “Elder Xu, Dishou Mountain is forging a Celestial Artifact now. Could we share a little of this material?” Hearing that, everyone looked at Xu Que eagerly, including Bai Cailing and the other people from the Jade Lake. Apparently, they thought the Purple Sky Age Metal had been found in this area. Although Xu Que’s people had found it first, they felt entitled to a small share because they were also in this area.
Xu Que glanced at the guardian of the Dishou Mountain and said calmly, “Get lost!”
“Get lost?” His words stunned everyone. The guardian of the Dishou Mountain said with a hollow smile, “Since Elder Xu doesn’t want to share, we won’t insist on it. Would it be okay for us to get the same share as other people in this place? In other words, would it be okay if, after you take the greater part, the rest can be equally shared by the four sects here?”
“Get lost!” Xu Que replied rudely again. Xu Que, who didn’t want to waste his time on these fools, continued to look at Mo Junchen, who seemed quite serious at this moment. According to his expression, it seemed as if Mo Junchen had encountered some problems in reforging the halberd. The divine fire was not as stable as he had expected. Also, the divine fire didn’t fade away gradually as he had expected. On the contrary, the divine fire became more and more furious as if it would explode at any time and become an erupting volcano to ruin everything here.
Mo Junchen continued to quench the Purple Sky Age Metal in the divine fire. However, he was clenching his teeth and his face was covered by cold sweat. It seemed he was bearing tremendous pain with great difficulty.
“Eh...” At the same time, Xu Que’s reply had totally embarrassed and even annoyed the people of the Dishou Mountain. “Get lost? Again? What do you mean by saying that? Does it mean this old man wants to take exclusive possession of all the Purple Sky Age Metal? What you are doing doesn’t accord with the rules! Even if your Cultivation Stage has reached Celestial King or higher, you are too greedy! How can you refuse to share benefits with others?” These were the thoughts running through everyone’s minds.
