Ultimate Scheming System

All the cultivators in the secret room of the abode were shocked. None of them expected the illusionary realm could be broken in this way. Also, they didn’t expect Xu Que and Zixia Fairy could wake up and return safely. After being trapped in the secret realm, several hundred cultivators had entered, and only these two had returned alive!

“I got it! I know how to break the spell!”

“Just ignore all the rest of the issues. As a human being, no one could be isolated from the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures. We could only break the spell by keeping alive to the end!”

“I see! I see! This is not a spell of seven emotions and six sensory pleasures, but a spell of life or death!”

“Whatever! Anyway, we should try to break the spell!”

“Right! After entering the realm, we should take advantage of our remaining memories. We can even survive the spell by finding an uninhabited place to spend the rest of our lives in the realm!”

All at once, many people started to shout and jump for joy.

They had found the key to break the spell from the experience of Xu Que and Zixia Fairy.

Although this method could not guarantee all of them would survive, their survival probability had been enhanced remarkably.

“Thank you, Exploding Heavens Faction!”

“Thank you, Joker and Lady Azi!”

They expressed their heartfelt appreciation to Xu Que and Zixia Fairy with delight. However, Xu Que was still feeling a little bit absent-minded at this time. Although he had kept all his memories, he had spent several decades in the illusionary realm. During this period, he had become a grey-haired old man!

He had experienced a lot of things and finished a lifetime of an ordinary person, which was exciting. He kept reminding himself that everything in the illusionary realm was unreal! The Queen Dowager, the young Princess, and all the rest of the people were just images! However, they also went through their lives together with Xu Que, and passed away one after another at last!

The ordinary person would never get away from the circle of birth, old age, sickness, and death! At last, Zixia Fairy also passed away. At that moment, he also fell asleep in his song!

After breaking the spell, he got a feeling of waking up from a dream, which was quite complicated and frustrating!

“Actually…this is really a spell of seven emotions and six sensory pleasures!”

Hearing the onlookers’ cheer, Xu Que sighed and shook his head slightly. At this time, Zixia Fairy was also a little bit bewildered. As even Xu Que’s mood was influenced when he had left the spell, Zixia Fairy, who had lost all her memories and thought she was a servant girl in the illusionary realm, was much more influenced.

Zixia Fairy was standing there quietly. The cheers of the onlookers were ignored by her. She recalled everything that had happened in the illusionary realm just like a beautiful, warm, and happy dream! She remembered she had gone through her life with Xu Que! Although her Taoist Body was quite ugly, Xu Que spent his lifetime to stay with her and created a perfect love story for her. They played together in the Imperial Palace. They cooked together and did things they loved to do together until they got old!

Now everything was finished. Her heart was also filled with complicated feelings and even the inexplicable sense of loss! Because all those beautiful things had become history from this moment.

“Old…eh, Lady Azi, we…are back!” She could hear Xu Que’s voice at this moment.

He almost called her “Old woman” again because of his habit in the illusionary realm, but he corrected himself at last!

Zixia Fairy turned around and looked at him as she nodded with a faint smile. She knew clearly that he was really a nice young man! Because everyone lost memories in the illusionary realm, but this young man stayed with her to the end! This meant that what he said before was real! He wouldn’t change his attitude according to the appearance of a person. And he would always keep his word. What a fearless and lovestruck young man!

…

“Let’s go!” Zixia Fairy said softly.

She walked up and tried to grab Xu Que’s hand like she always did in the illusionary realm. However, when she had just raised her arm, she put it down secretly. She realized they had regained their real bodies. It was inappropriate for them to act like that.

“I…OK, let’s go!” Xu Que was about to say something, but words stopped on his lips after seeing her reaction.

He was also a little bit embarrassed, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. In the illusionary realm, they were an old couple. However, when they left the illusionary realm, the distance between them had been widened again as if they were strangers who met by chance.

He was so unaccustomed to this status.

Zixia Fairy had also noticed his embarrassed expression. They had spent so many years together in the illusionary realm. Some memories couldn’t be wiped out. And it was also very difficult to wear away the mutual understanding between them.

Alas!

She sighed in his heart.

She knew what Xu Que was trying to say. Maybe he would ask her to be his cultivation companion to continue their good times.…

However, she knew she couldn’t let that happen! Because their identities were distinctive and because she took up the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the Mighty Sect. The most important point was that she didn’t know how to tell her real identity to Xu Que.

Deep in her heart, what worried her the most was whether this nice young man could accept her after knowing her real identity.… All these complicated feelings bewildered her. Therefore, she couldn’t help but try to ignore Xu Que’s embarrassed expression and pretend she hadn’t seen that.

…

Alas!

Xu Que also sighed in his heart at this moment. Because he felt guilty! Just now, the words stopped on his lips were “Was I impressive? Was I awesome?”

However, he failed to utter those words. He knew Zixia Fairy hadn’t figured out he was actually Xu Que. Now he felt guilty and worried Zixia Fairy might kill him with her sword angrily after knowing his real identity. At the thought of this, Xu Que lost the interest to show off his achievements in the illusionary realm.

In this way, the two of them remained silent as they continued to walk toward the entrance at the center of the secret room.

…

The entrance led to a deep underground area.

Xu Que and Zixia Fairy continued to walk down the steps.

On their way, Xu Que tried to break the embarrassment several times, but he didn’t know what to say. His reaction was noticed by Zixia Fairy again. The feelings in her heart had become more and more complicated. Several times, she also tried to tell her real identity to Xu Que.

However, they said nothing till they reached the end of the stone stairs.

“What?”

When they left the stone stairs, an empty altar appeared in front of them.

The altar was surrounded by pitch-black areas, which were apparently abysses.

From the stone stairs, there was only a stone bridge leading to the altar. Nothing could be found on the altar. From afar, they could barely see the ground of the altar, which was engraved with sculptures and runes.

“Joker, here we are!” Zixia Fairy stopped suddenly and said as she looked at the altar. “This is the place where the last seal is!”
