As night fell, the courtyard was quiet. A bright moon hung in the sky.
Xu Que reclined on his bed and rested his chin on his hand as he stared at the night sky, deep in thought.
He decided that he would leave soon and rush to the Imperial City.
After all, there were 5 tombs waiting for him to explore and the dangers within would be extraordinary.
Of course, he had to take revenge on the Emperor and the Princess. Although the Emperor and the Princess were plotting against the original owner of this body, after Xu Que took over this body, the memories were still fresh in his mind. It was as if he had experienced it himself. Hence, he would still feel resentment and hatred.
Therefore, if there was a grudge, he had to take revenge. Otherwise, with Xu Que's petty mind, he would definitely have a sleepless night.
However, before he left, Xu Que decided to give Great Change Sect a big present.
After all, the God Powered Cannons were so powerful. It was inevitable that others would find out about it and covet it. If someone were to join forces to snatch it, Great Change Sect wouldn't be able to defend against them with just these 3 God Powered Cannons.
Xu Que called out the system and his personal stats appeared in front of him.
Host: Xu Que

...
Now that he had reached the Full Foundation of the Golden Core Stage, his next step was to be like the demonic beasts and undergo the legendary 4 in 9 Heavenly Tribulations before he could enter the Original Infant Stage.
The 4 in 9 Heavenly Tribulations were considered the most basic of tribulations. If he could withstand the lightning strikes four times, he would be able to break through to the Original Infant Stage.
If he couldn't withstand the lightning strikes, his soul would be destroyed and he would die!
However, this Heavenly Tribulations were more severe for demonic beasts. For human cultivators, it wasn't difficult at all. Hence, Xu Que wasn't too concerned.
What he was worried about was that he didn't have much acting tough points left. After exchanging for the Nine Revolutions Revival Liquid, he was only left with 380 acting tough points.
What could he exchange for the Great Change Sect with these few Acting Tough Points?
A few more God Powered Cannons? That didn't seem to be a good idea. If the enemy used the human wave tactic, a few cannons wouldn't be able to kill them all.
"If I were to exchange for a spell, only I can control it. Once I'm not here, the spell can only be used for defensive purposes. It won't be able to coordinate with the people from Great Change Sect …" Xu Que frowned.
No matter how strong a spell was, without a controller to control it, its power would be greatly reduced. This was also the reason why Elder Sun was able to force his way into Pan Shan Village with the Array Breaking Shuttle.
If Xu Que had been in Pan Shan Village at that time, even if he didn't do anything and only controlled the Spell Board to unleash the power of the spell, even if Elder Sun had the Formation-Breaking Shuttle, he would definitely have been beaten half to death by the spell. He wouldn't have just suffered some minor internal injuries!
"Oh, right!"
All of a sudden, Xu Que seemed to have thought of something as he sat up on his bed.
"Today, when the system was upgraded, I heard that there were two new functions …" Xu Que spoke as he entered the system interface.
Within the system interface, there was a new information about the upgrade. It clearly stated the new functions every time the system was upgraded.
After today's upgrade, there were indeed two new functions. The first was the addition of items in the system shop. For example, the Nine Revolutions Revival Liquid, which was a heaven-defying item, was a new addition.
The other function was to open up the usage rights for items. In future, he would be able to let others use the items he had exchanged for. This way, he wouldn't be the only one who could use it.
This second function immediately solved Xu Que's problem!
Since others could use it, what was there to worry about? He could just exchange it for a spell!
Xu Que immediately entered the system shop and selected the spells section. He then started to look through the "Beginner Spells" section.
Logically speaking, the safest option would be to exchange for a Intermediate Spell. However, the cheapest Intermediate Spell would cost more than 200 act tough points. Furthermore, those spells were used to gather spiritual Qi for cultivation. They weren't suitable for defense or counterattack. There were a few other Intermediate Spell that had offensive capabilities. However, the price was as high as 400 act tough points. Xu Que really couldn't afford it!
Hence, he could only settle for the next best option and choose from the Beginner Spells.
Originally, Xu Que wanted to exchange for the Four Directions Desolation Spell and gift it to Great Change Sect.
As he scanned through the list, he realized that there were a few other spells that he hadn't seen before. One of them had extremely strong offensive and defensive capabilities.
[Eight Trigrams Thousand Swords Spell]:
Originated from the remnants of the Eight Trigrams Diagram. Qian represents the sky and Kun represents the earth. Every hexagram represents a different heaven and earth! Once the intruder enters, he will lose his sense of direction. Heaven and earth will be turned upside down and he will be attacked by thousands of swords. He will definitely die! (Note: This spell is ineffective against cultivators of the Infant Transformation Stage and above.)
Price: 200 act tough points.
"Damn, that's so expensive! The price is almost the same as a Intermediate Spell. But this spell is really not bad. If only I had this spell when I was in Pan Shan Village. Even if that old granny was more powerful, she wouldn't have been able to break it. It's a pity … Ai! "
As Xu Que thought about what happened in Pan Shan Village, he couldn't help but think about it.
He lowered his head and looked at the Pagoda that he wore on his chest. Looking at Xiao Rou's soul lying quietly within the pagoda, he felt slightly better.
Soon after, Xu Que gritted his teeth and exchanged for the Eight Trigrams Thousand Swords Spell.
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully exchanging for the Eight Trigrams Thousand Swords Spell. 200 act tough points have been consumed!"
Whoosh!
A ray of white light flashed before his eyes and a small spell board appeared in his system inventory.
Xu Que took it out, glanced at it, and couldn't help but nod.
With this spell, even if he wasn't around, Great Change Sect would still be able to protect themselves. Besides, with the addition of the three God Powered Cannons, Great Change Sect's future would be unstoppable!
"This time … I can leave in peace! It's a pity that I haven't even managed to get my hands on the beautiful Sect Leader. I can't bear to part with her! "Xu Que mumbled to himself as he laughed out.
Finally, he wrote a letter explaining the usage of the Eight Trigrams Thousand Swords Spell. After which, he placed it on the table along with the spell board. He then turned around and walked out of the room. He activated the Lightning Haste spell and flew up into the sky. Gradually, he disappeared into the darkness of the night.
"Ai!"
After Xu Que left, a soft sigh could be heard from the corner of the courtyard.
A white robed silhouette walked out slowly. Her skin was white and her demeanor was otherworldly. It was the Sect Leader of Great Change Sect, Su Yun Lan!
Looking at the direction in which Xu Que had left, Su Yun Lan's eyes were filled with mixed emotions. It was as if she couldn't bear to part with him and was filled with worry!
"Creak!"
She gently pushed open the door to Xu Que's room and walked in.
Seeing the letter left behind by Xu Que, she paused in shock. She then picked up the letter and sat down on the bed to read it.
After some time, Su Yun Lan's face was filled with disappointment as she mumbled to herself, "Besides telling me how to use the sword spell, he didn't leave anything else for me?"
She placed the letter down and lay down on the bed.
