Xu Que’s group stopped and wondered whether they should go forward.

It was obvious that their situation was getting thornier and thornier. The more they approached the interior of the Celestial Burial Valley, the more intense were the stifling feelings that seemed to be overwhelming them.

Duan Jiude was skilled in divination, and his reading had indicated that Xu Que’s group was going to face deadly danger in the Celestial Burial Valley.

All of his companions’ expressions got very serious, even the Exploding Heavens Faction members who had just arrived and had followed them inside. They were all slightly in shock. It was obvious that they hadn’t expected their first mission with Xu Que would be so dangerous.

“We’re done for! We are really going to be in big trouble. I have always said that there was something about the feng shui in the Celestial Burial Valley that was abnormal. However, I never expected that something like this would be hidden in it. This mountain range has changed into a Worldly Furnace,” Buttface looked sullen as he spoke. He was convinced his time had come.

“So, this is what’s going on. After entering this region, the Celestial Core Power within my body started dissipating and even my blood and Qi were affected.” Mo Junchen wore a serious look, and he surveyed the surroundings before he continued in a deep voice, “But luckily we’re probably still at the edge of the outer periphery. If this hadn’t been the case, we would’ve already suffered casualties.”

“That’s right, we are really still at the edge of the area. We’ve escaped into the location where the Eastern Continent cultivators went to evade the pursuit of the Sea Tribe vanguard. Unfortunately, they’ve all died in the region ahead of us,” Duan Jiude spoke and pointed in front of him.

He didn’t have a keen sense of smell like Buttface did, who could sniff the smell of blood, but he’d already figured out what had happened in this place through divination. Simply said, all the regions other than the current one were ominous, and this was why he’d gotten the Nine Deaths One Life Hexagram through his divination.

The dangerous region ahead of them was the place with the densest Baleful Qi, and this demonstrated that many people had died there.

“F*ck! The blood scent spread from that region. That place is too strange. It’s a Worldly Furnace, and it can melt thousands of cultivators without leaving any traces behind,” Buttface spoke in alarm. He was astounded by this place’s Worldly Power.

“I guess the powers of the person underground are quite extraordinary. He wants to wake up through a Blood Sacrifice. Xuanyuan Wanrong’s previous Sacrificial Altar wasn’t as good as this one,” Xu Que frowned as he spoke.

The scheme, using the mountain range, had turned the whole Celestial Burial Valley into a Worldly Furnace that sacrificed the blood of every person who entered this land to awaken the person buried underground. When that person woke up, his cultivation stage would be greater than his previous peak state.

However, the Celestial Burial Valley was too large, and the Blood Sacrifice required was also tremendous. They wouldn’t be able to activate this whole place and awaken the person underground by depending only on the Eastern Continent cultivators that had escaped here and Xuanyuan Wanrong.

After all, this type of Formation Spell needed fresh blood, no matter if it was the blood of a powerhouse or a weakling. This was why it needed a large amount of blood, and even though Xuanyuan Wanrong was very powerful, she was a single person and the amount of blood she had now wasn’t enough to support the operation of this large furnace.

“So, where would they get more fresh blood?”

As Xu Que thought about this, he frowned even more. As he pondered the attack of the Sea Tribe vanguard on the Southern Continent, he managed to guess that the Sea Tribe had originally planned to force all the cultivators of the Four Continents to come here before sacrificing them.

“Lad, what should we do now? You will die if we go forward, and you will also die if we retreat. What do you think about this?” Buttface questioned Xu Que as he gave him a stare.

Buttface’s words were quite reasonable. If they proceeded onward, their group would probably die here before they got to see Xuanyuan Wanrong. But, if they retreated decisively, Xu Que wouldn’t be able to deal with the crisis that was going to kill Xuanyuan Wanrong, and thus he would be affected by the Heavenly Book of Taiyi and suffer death along with Xuanyuan Wanrong.

This was why there was no room for escape or retreat, and he was at a dead end.

“Buttface, did your skin get itchy again?” Xu Que asked as he glared at him.

Buttface quickly hid behind Duan Jiude and yelled, “I’ve just stated a fact.”

“No one can accept this fact, and we’ve come across a dilemma of choice,” Mo Junchen sighed, shaking his head as he spoke.

It was really difficult for him to accept this fact, but he didn’t seem to have a better choice. He’d cultivated for so many years, and he’d come across so many difficult choices. He was accustomed to seeing situations like this, but he still didn’t have the power to help the conundrum.

A human’s life was always like this. Sometimes, even if you knew what would happen, you could only observe it happening helplessly because you didn’t have the power to change it.

This was like observing a precious vase on the verge of falling from a distance and being unable to rush over instantly to catch it.

It was also like observing the Lord of the Common People turning more handsome without being able to stop it.

He had seen similar incidents many times.

“Nonsense!” Buttface shouted suddenly, refuting Mo Junchen’s claim.

Duan Jiude wore a strange look as he looked at Mo Junchen. He shook his head and said, “Guardian Mo, what are you saying? When did we come across the dilemma of choice?”

“That’s right, what kind of choice is this?” Xu Que looked in surprise at Mo Junchen.

Mo Junchen was dumbfounded, and the Eight-Headed Serpent and all the other members of the Exploding Heavens Faction were all confused.

It seemed to them that Mo Junchen wasn’t mistaken, and Buttface had already said that they would all die if they advanced, and if they retreated it would be Xu Que that would die. Wasn’t this a difficult choice? Why did the Wicked Trio refute this?

SIGH! “Guardian Mo, I’m really very disappointed in you,” Buttface answered Mo Junchen and he wore a resentful and regretful look.

Duan Jiude shook his head helplessly, “We are the Exploding Heavens Faction, and we never face any dilemma of choice.”

“That’s right, don’t we have the right and left sides along with the front and back. If we can’t go ahead, we stick it in the rear… That’s not right, if we can’t go back, then we should go underground and raid that person’s lair,” Xu Que spoke with an indifferent look plastered on his face.

“Going underground? Raiding the lair?”

Upon hearing this, Mo Junchen was startled, as was everyone here.

Soon after, their eyes got wide as they finally figured out what Buttface, Duan Jiude, and Xu Que were talking about.

The Wicked Trio wanted to dig up a grave!

According to what the little fish had said, the Sea Tribe’s almighty being was buried in the Celestial Burial Valley. Now this graveyard had turned into a murderous furnace and it seemed like it was going to be the end of the road for them all.

But who would have expected that the Wicked Trio would think of the same solution without even discussing it among themselves? They wanted to dig up the ground and raid that almighty being’s grave.

This was a feasible solution, but it was also quite wicked. Ordinary people wouldn’t think of this solution.

SIGH! “It seems as if you have understood,” Buttface said, chuckling.

“I’m glad that you understand. This demonstrates that you have a good power of comprehension. Let’s get cracking and work quickly.” Duan Jiude rolled up his sleeves and took out an iron shovel.

It was obvious that the reason why he’d brought an iron shovel with him was related to his previous profession.

“Hey, what’re you doing? What a scandal!” At this moment, Xu Que shouted at Duan Jiude and Buttface to stop them, frowning.

The crowd was startled once again and completely flabbergasted at this time.

“Does the Faction Leader oppose digging up a person’s grave. When he said that he wanted to raid that person’s lair, wasn’t he referring to a grave robbery?”

“Oh my god, when did the Faction Master turn over a new leaf?”

Xu Que walked around in front of the crowd’s surprised gazes. He took the iron shovel from Duan Jiude and, wearing a solemn look, he spoke. “A grave robbery isn’t done like this. You must first search the location and explore it. You didn’t even look for the location properly. Do you think we should just go out and dig at random?”

After Xu Que had finished speaking, he waved his hand and took a large compass from his crotch.

Why was it large? It was because any objects that came out of his crotch must be large.

BANG!

The next moment, Xu Que took a step forward with the compass in his hand and started chanting loud incantations. “Observation of coiling mountains to seek dragons and gold. Every coil has a pass, and every pass has eight parts filled with dangers. Everything is according to the Ying-Yang Eight Divinatory Trigrams. Set it up!”

SWOOSH!

In an instant, a bright radiance emanated from the compass in Xu Que’s hand and flew forward. It landed directly on a mountain range ahead of them.

“Did you see that? You should dig in that place!” Xu Que pointed at the region ahead and encouraged his followers.

The expressions of the group stiffened, and Mo Junchen opened his mouth wide with a startled look on his face.

“He is so professional.”

“Why is he so skilled?”

“How many people’s ancestral tombs has he dug up?”
