After entering deep into the cave, they walked for three days and three nights. The passage in the cave was becoming broader and broader. Soon, they were walking on an endless rocky plain!
The ground was as hard as iron. Above their heads, they could only see endless melted rocks. They couldn’t see the end of this place; it was as if they were walking in a sea of rocks.
Frigid cold wind was blowing with numerous invisible icy blades that were stabbing their bodies. It was an illusionary sting, but it felt real and couldn’t even be resisted by magic arts!
However, for powerful cultivators like Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan, this sting would never cause any damage to them except for some discomfort. But it was quite creepy that their True Core Strength was being eroded slowly after being blown by this cold wind.
Howl!
I can’t stand it anymore! When will we finish this walking tour?
Buttface said with remorse. He regretted that he didn’t struggle harder before entering this area, so he might have avoided this trip!



Why are you panicking? I believe we will reach the end sooner or later!
Xu Que said with a smile, for the hardship in this area was nothing for him. At least his heart was still full of expectation and energy. He kept looking around and trying to find Zhang Tiandao, so that he could find those two Space Breaking Spells!
Jiang Hongyan, who was as calm, elegant, and graceful as always, said, nodding her head gently,
I guess this place was created by someone, and then it became broader and broader over a long period. But it should have an end point. Only this cold wind is quite weird!


Yes, and it seems to be an illusionary spell Array which was set up according to the topography of this area. I guess this cold wind is generated by countless small illusionary spell Arrays; otherwise, we would be able to resist it with magic arts!
Xu Que replied as he looked around.
Although he could use his Fantasy Killing Seal to eliminate the illusionary Arrays and illusions, he was quite helpless in front of the cold wind for he couldn’t find a target to attack!

This cold wind can’t cause any damage to us in the short term. However, it keeps consuming our True Core Strength! Little brat, we have to speed up now!
Jiang Hongyan said gently.
Buttface retorted immediately,
No, no! The consumption of the True Core Strength will also be faster if we pick up speed. I strongly suggest we should stop and dig a hole on the ground, so that we could take a break to accumulate more energy in the hole!

Xu Que nodded. With the help of the System’s Automatic Recovery Function, he could get supplements for the True Core Strength that was consumed by the cold wind. However, this function was not available for Jiang Hongyan. If they didn’t stop to have a rest, they would be in great danger when they ran out of their True Core Strength!

What?
Xu Que realized something suddenly, as his eyes lit up.

Heh, heh, you also think my suggestion is wise and brilliant, right?
Buttface said proudly as he saw Xu Que’s expression.

Your suggestion is quite stupid! We need to find a place to take a break, but why do we have to dig a hole in the ground? Look at the ground, it is as hard as steel. We will be fully exhausted after digging a hole!
Xu Que said with a smile as he shook his head.


Buttface, who was not convinced, retorted immediately,
Little brat, you argue for the sake of arguing! If we don’t dig a hole, where should we stay away from the cold wind?


We will certainly hide in a house!
Xu Que blinked his eyes as he activated the System interface with a smile. Then, he flicked his finger in the air as he said something to himself.
Whoosh!
A white light gushed out abruptly, which was inflated quickly in the air.
Rumble!
Along with a big bang, the white light was turned into an enormous palace in the broad sky. It was the Imperial Palace seized by Xu Que! The translucent Imperial Palace was floating in the air like a gigantic celestial palace!
Luckily, this place was spacious enough, or it would have been burst by the Imperial Palace.

Holy crap!
Buttface exclaimed in surprise, for he was dumbfounded by what he had seen. Buttface never expected Xu Que could carry such an enormous palace with him, which he could then casually take out of his bag.

Little brat, what is this? Is it my wolf den?
Buttface shouted in surprise.

No, this is the Imperial Palace. Duan Jiude and the dog are not allowed to enter it!
Xu Que replied with a smile, as he rushed into the Imperial Palace together with Jiang Hongyan.



Well done! It means I can enter because I am a wolf!
Buttface shouted and jumped for joy. Then, he also rushed into the Imperial Palace.
This was the first time for Xu Que to enter the Imperial Palace after seizing it. As expected, it was like a celestial palace from his imagination. All the buildings were built with white jade, which was so sparkling and resplendent, like buildings in wonderland.
When they entered the Imperial Palace, they couldn’t feel the cold wind anymore. Then, they started to recover their True Core Strength rapidly.

Hongyan, let’s find the God-realization Tree!
Xu Que dashed toward the elixir garden behind the main hall immediately. He didn’t have time to obtain the God-realization Tree after seizing the Imperial Palace. Now, it was a good opportunity to do that.
Jiang Hongyan nodded her head and moved together with Xu Que.
Buttface, who was not interested in the God-realization Tree, dashed toward a remote corner. It seemed the kitchen was located in that area. Apparently, he was going to try to find something to eat!
Xu Que ignored Buttface. The next moment, he reached the elixir garden behind the main hall together with Jiang Hongyan. All kinds of herbs were planted in the garden. A faint herbal fragrance was permeated the area.
At the center of the garden, the Spiritual Qi was accumulated. A tiny seedling was inhaling and exhaling Spiritual Fog. A red fruit was hanging on the seedling. The fruit was circled by strands of runes, which were quite weird.

Is this the God-realization Tree?
Xu Que was surprised, for it was totally different from the God-realization Tree in his imagination. However, he sensed something familiar in this seedling, which was the soul of Jiang Hongyan.

At the very beginning, the God-realization Tree is just a grass. Now it has become a seedling with fruit. It means it is ripe!
Jiang Hongyan replied. She looked at the tree with a complicated expression as if she was looking at another Jiang Hongyan.



Go and get your soul, and you will become a perfect woman!
Xu Que said in a playful tone to relieve Jiang Hongyan’s tension.
Jiang Hongyan sighed,
It is extremely difficult for the God-realization Tree to be ripe. This seedling could be deemed a miracle! If I take back my soul, all the previous efforts of the God-realization Tree and the God-realization Fruit will be ruined.


Hell, this is nothing! Do you want to leave it to that old bastard?
Xu Que said with a wry smile for he was surprised by Jiang Hongyan’s reaction.
Suddenly, Jiang Hongyan fixed her eyes on Xu Que and said gently,
I want to leave it to you!

Leave it to me?
Xu Que was surprised. Then his heart was filled with warmth.
He rubbed Jiang Hongyan’s delicate nose gently with his hand with a faint smile.
Little girl, you really underestimate me! It is useless for me. If I want, I could reach the Great Vehicle Stage in several years. And it will be quite easy for me to reach the Celestial Realm!
Xu Que said as he clenched his fist in the air.
Bang!
All of a sudden, the entire God-realization Tree was uprooted and was floating in the air. The God-realization Fruit on the tree became dim immediately. The runes that were surrounding the fruit also went into the fruit like a mimosa which was touched.

This…



Jiang Hongyan was surprised. Apparently, she didn’t expect Xu Que would refuse the God-realization in such a decisive way, for he didn’t want to waste her soul.

Here, little girl, just take it and merge with your soul when you have time. Now, you could try to drive this Imperial Palace first!
Xu Que put the God-realization Fruit in Jiang Hongyan’s hand with a smile. Then, he was about to leave for the main hall.
Jiang Hongyan nodded her head with an attractive smile as she walked away together with Xu Que.
Let’s walk on hand in hand till the end of this world!
