Ultimate Scheming System

Chapter 1538 Tyranny of the Heaven Palace Academy

All...all for free?

Hearing the System’s prompt, Xu Que’s eyes immediately widened in disbelief.

Since when had this profiteering System been so generous? This wasn’t rational.

Ever since the System had been upgraded, the prices of the items in the System store had all skyrocketed. Although Xu Que felt that most of the goods weren’t really usable, there were still many powerful items that Xu Que was interested in. But every time he looked at the prices of those items, he gave up.

After all, with his strength, after activating the System’s revenge mechanism that time in the Heaven Continent, it had been enough to crush countless people and even face the strongmen of the Celestial Cloud Continent without resistance.

Thus, at that time, Xu Que didn’t need to spend all his efforts and empty all his finances to exchange for any goods in the System.

But this time, the Heaven Continent where he was located was the Heaven Continent that had peaked tens of thousands of years ago. It belonged to the era of Xuanyuan Wanrong and supposedly contained Celestial Emperors. Hence, he definitely would need to rely on the revenge mechanism and other great items from the System to get through this.

For some reason, the System had now changed from its previous stinginess and became extremely generous, providing the goods in the System store for free, in addition to the revenge mechanism and other functions. After Xu Que got over his shock, he became ecstatic.

“Ha, ha, ha, System, I’m starting to begin to appreciate you.” Xu Que nodded appreciatively. If the System could have been materialized into a body, Xu Que would definitely have patted its shoulder and its head.

Xu Que called out the System, entered the System store interface, and started browsing.

When the System had been upgraded to version 11.0, it had entered a so-called second stage. In other words, version 11.0 of the System had undergone a thorough change and technically shouldn’t have really been called version 11.0. It would’ve been more appropriate to have described it as second stage System, level 1.

The items in the System store had also undergone major changes. Many of the Magic Arts that had previously made Xu Que envious were now swept to the bottom of the inventory, and the upper positions had been taken by a variety of top-level celestial powers and even many divine magic arts.

PFFT!

“Big Dipper 36 Changes, Evil Star 72 Changes...” Xu Que had just glanced at the column called Divine Magic Arts. As he saw the names of the first two divine magic arts, he couldn’t help but start laughing with glee.

These were really powerful divine arts. It was really great that these were all free now.

D*mn, he was so happy!

Xu Que’s face was filled with joy, and he continued to look further down the list of items that were available. There were even more divine magic arts, and his heart couldn’t help but jump with joy.

The thing that moved him the most was undoubtedly the ten divine magic arts that altogether were known as the “Ten Great Divine Magic Arts”. Examples of these were “The Heavenly Eye Which Sees Clearly with No Obstacles Art”, shortened to “Heavenly Eye Art”, and also the “Knowing His Mind Well Art”, shortened to “Knowing Mind Art”...

These famous Ten Great Divine Magic Arts, once cultivated, were first-rate attributes of the Celestial Stage, and the cultivator who used them would be known the Master of the Ten Arts. He wouldn’t just achieve the attainment of the Celestial Emperor Realm, but the Taoist Prime and Taoist Emperor Realms would be waiting just around the corner.

In the past, he’d wanted to purchase these Ten Great Divine Magic Arts, but was helpless as the amount of Acting Tough Points required to purchase them was astronomical. When he saw their value, Xu Que had immediately forgotten about them, but this time he could use them for free.

Even after he’d left this world and all of this would disappear, being able to have experienced it would turn out to have been very beneficial.

“It’s amazing! If I learned all of them, even a Celestial Emperor would be no match for me!” Xu Que was suddenly very excited, glancing at the column of celestial powers in the System store. He couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Whether it was the divine magic arts or the other kinds of celestial powers, they were all extremely powerful. If he used any of them, it would be enough to break the heads of many cultivators. Now, he could use them all.

With these items, perhaps it would be a lot easier to survive in this world. He would be able to earn enough Acting Tough Points faster, crack the prohibition, and return to the Heaven Continent.

“With the System in hand, the world is mine!” Xu Que couldn’t hold back the excitement in his heart and let out a loud roar.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a powerful force echoed down from the stone steps.

“Who is this presumptuous fool, who is making such a ruckus outside the Heaven Palace Academy?” A strong, scolding voice could be heard.

Xu Que felt shocked. His chest felt pressured, his face became pale, and his heart was stunned.

That was the essence of a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, but the strength of this Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven was far more powerful than all the Golden Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven that he had ever met in the Heaven Continent.

With just this little bit of a display of strength, he’d actually felt so stressed.

Sure enough, those cultivators from tens of thousands of years ago were all evildoers...

Xu Que couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He was also a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, and killing another Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven in the Heaven Continent was as easy as killing a chicken. He could even kill Celestial Kings that he had encountered. Who knew that tens of thousands of years ago, he would be so stressed by meeting a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven.

“Who are you, report your name!” At this time, the other party seemed to have discovered Xu Que’s strength. His tone was no longer aggressive as he asked in a deep voice.

Xu Que’s gaze changed and a polite and humble smile appeared on his face. He saluted and said lightly, “I am Xu Que from the Exploding Heavens Faction. I have heard about the reputation of the Heaven Palace Academy for a long time, and the admiration in my heart is like a surging river, flowing endlessly. It is like the flooding of the Yellow River, unstoppable. So I have deliberately come to pay a visit.”

Xu Que deliberately made himself seem inferior, trying to act like a pig to prey on a tiger.

Although he had a whole System store that he could try for free, he hadn’t had enough time to practice and control anything yet. If he rashly fought with the Heaven Palace Academy, it would alert Celestial Primes and Celestial Emperors, and he could suffer a huge loss.

What was more was that he hadn’t met Xuanyuan Wanrong yet, and it wouldn’t be good if he fought now with the Heaven Palace Academy.

After all, he was already here. It would be a pity not to take a look at what Xuanyuan Wanrong had been like tens of thousands of years ago.

HMPH!

The other party snorted. “What Exploding Heavens Faction? I’ve never heard of it. You’re just a trivial Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, how could you have received the qualifications to visit the Heaven Palace Academy? If you’re not here to join our recruitment drive, please leave quickly, otherwise don’t blame me if I don’t go easy on you.”

Sh*t!

Xu Que was momentarily stunned. The Heaven Palace Academy was so overbearing?

Sh*t, he’d come to visit them so politely, and they’d responded in such an aggressive manner. This was a form of bullying, how preposterous!

“Okay, I’ll leave!” Xu Que saluted and turned to walk away. He was scared.

It wasn’t that the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven was too strong, but that some other beings had appeared on the stone ladder. He couldn’t afford to provoke Elders of the Celestial Prime Realm.

“What’s going on here?” A gentle and elegant voice said forcefully but not angrily.

Although Xu Que was already walking down the mountain, he could still clearly hear their conversation.

The Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven respectfully responded, “Elder Liu, there was a small cultivator who was boasting shamelessly and wanted to visit the Heaven Palace Academy, so I reprimanded him.”

“Did you hurt anyone?” An elegant voice asked.

The Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven hurriedly responded, “I didn’t dare!”

“Not bad, you handled it very well. In the future, if you encounter such a scenario again, you can just scold them. If you take physical action, the people outside will say that the Heaven Palace Academy is too unreasonable and is a bully. All right, continue to guard the mountain gate. Our academy is recruiting new people today, there mustn’t be any trouble.” The elegant voice gradually drifted away.

The Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven also respectfully sent off the other party with these words, “The disciple will follow the Elder’s instructions!”

“.....” As Xu Que heard this, his footsteps stopped, and a strange expression crept onto his face.

How annoying!

Just scold, and any physical action would be considered unreasonable bullying?

Sh*t, was the Heaven Palace Academy so domineering back then? It was even more arrogant than his Exploding Heavens Faction.

Xu Que was very annoyed, but the reason wasn’t that the other party had been so overbearing, but that the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven had actually been just a gatekeeper.

D*mn, by comparison, he wasn’t even as good as a gatekeeper?

No, this was absolutely unbearable.

The Heaven Palace Academy was recruiting new people, right? Today, he would make trouble in the Heaven Palace Academy.

“System, quick, give me celestial powers, give me Divine Magic Arts, and also give me tens of High-Grade Celestial Artifacts. I’m going to act tough now!”
