Chapter 517: Chapter 405: Meeting Again!

"Please be prepared."

"But I don’t have any preparations to make."

Wu Xiaode shrugged.

The voice rang again from the Book of Destruction Laws:

"You must arrange numerous affairs of the Council, and also manage your personal trivial matters satisfactorily before you can proceed to specialize in enhancing your strength."

"This is because the enhancement of strength is a continuous, focused task process."

"In this complete cultivation process, you won’t even be able to take time out for anything else in the short term."

Wu Xiaode nodded slightly.

Makes sense!

He thought for a moment and patted on Qiong’s body.

Two lines of ice crystal characters immediately appeared:

"The human named ’Qiong’ has been granted the qualifications to contact the Heroic Spirit."

"She can go to the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm in three days."

Qiong immediately sensed something and asked uncertainly:

"I feel like I’ve been granted entry to some space, what exactly is this—"

"Human Emperor’s Secret Realm, the descent of the Heroic Spirit," Wu Xiaode said succinctly.

Qiong’s eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her hand.

—How could she not know that this was an extremely rare privilege, a goal that the entire Destruction Council strove with all their might to achieve.

All thirteen elders died.

Just to gain the qualification to contact the Heroic Spirit!

Now Arian had casually granted this right to herself!

"I need to enhance my strength a bit, I might not catch up with the event in three days, now I fully entrust you with the power to grant rights and qualifications to others."

Wu Xiaode said earnestly.

When it came to serious matters, Qiong immediately knew what to do.

"Understood, I’ll prioritize those families that have good relationships with us, the Shangmo family, and are willing to lean towards us."

She said.

"Good, I’m also entrusting you with the Council’s affairs, I’m going to handle some other trivial matters now, then I’ll formally begin enhancing my strength," Wu Xiaode said.

"You go ahead and don’t worry—after all, strength is the foundation of everything, I will handle the rest."

Qiong said eagerly, even planting a kiss on his ear.

Wu Xiaode sighed inwardly.

With Arian’s persona, hiding was not an option, otherwise it would be exposed.

"The Council is left to you."

He pinched Qiong’s cheek, then turned toward the Book of Destruction Laws.

"Is everything settled?"

The Book of Destruction Laws asked.

"There’s one trivial matter left, I just need to look it over once, and it’ll soon be done," Wu Xiaode said.

"In that case, I shall first release the cultivation task to you. Finish your trivial affair, and then you can start the task instantly," the Book of Destruction Laws said.

In the Void, a line of black flame characters emerged:

"The cultivation task is bound to you."

"Task One: Starter’s Choice."

"This is the exclusive task of the chairman of the Destruction Council."

"Task description: You need to find ’?’ within seven days."

"If you successfully find ’?’, this book will activate the true Path of Destruction task; if you fail to find ’?’, then you shall enter the ordinary Path of Destruction Laws task."

Wu Xiaode read line after line and couldn’t help being a bit surprised.

—This is a branching task. Depending on whether one succeeds or fails, there are different cultivation paths.

He nonchalantly glanced at the Book of the Dead.

Look how playful they are!

The Book of the Dead turned a page, presenting its back cover to him as if it were too disdainful to respond.

—But in this task, exactly what is ’’?’’

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but ask.

The Book of Destruction Laws emitted a cold, emotionless voice:

"This task originates from the initial source, it is the ultimate task of this book, only the chairmen are qualified to take it."

"You just need to do it."

"In fact, you don’t need to know anything."

Wu Xiaode tilted his head and thought for a few moments, then asked:

"Has any chairman ever found ’?’ before?"

The Book of Destruction Laws said:

"Apart from the first chairman, no other chairmen have found ’?’."

It added:

"From now on, tasks will be directly released into your mind, you will be able to know their content immediately."

All right.

Since no one else has been able to find it, let’s just leave it to fate.

He isn’t necessarily meant to become the spokesperson of the Destruction power.

Wu Xiaode smiled at Qiong, gave her a gentle hug, then his silhouette flashed, and he left the Council realm.

Qiong stood there alone.

For a long time.

"Hmph, I missed out, but for now enhancing strength indeed is the most crucial matter, all else can be done sooner or later,"

Qiong muttered to herself, then shifted her thoughts, beginning to contemplate how to establish the prestige of the Shangmo family within the Council.

Family by family, countless names, each surfaced in her mind.

...

The world of Heaven and Earth.

Sare Town.

Wu Xiaode appeared on the streets.

As he walked, he felt that the cultivation task from the Book of Destruction Laws was truly bizarre.

He could faintly sense that this task contained some secret.

This secret was not something an ordinary person could touch.

Given the power of the Book of Destruction Laws, which could teleport anyone it mentioned or kill anyone it named, what couldn’t it reveal openly?

Yet it still uses ’?’ to obscure, merely to release such a task.

Interesting.

Wu Xiaode walked toward the direction of the bar.

As he walked, his expression suddenly changed, and he lifted his hand, revealing his wrist.

On the watch given by the Queen Mother of the West, the hands were spinning wildly.

The entire dial split in half, one half labeled "Safe," the other "Danger."

The pointer seemed to go haywire, spinning rapidly several times, pointing to "Safe".

The next second.

The pointer reversed its direction and spun a few times, now pointing to "Danger".

—It was as if the watch could no longer determine the safety of The Queen Mother of the West.

Wu Xiaode glanced at the bar and then at his watch.

Swoosh—

His figure flashed and he appeared directly at the entrance of the bar, kicking open the door with one foot.

Numerous bronze hands hidden in the Void charged in with him.

"Eh? You’re back?"

A female voice rang out.

Shen Feixue was seen standing behind the bar, smiling at him.

Wu Xiaode froze.

What the heck.

Shen Feixue was perfectly fine!

Could it really be an issue with the watch?

Wu Xiaode sized up Shen Feixue and slightly relaxed, walking towards the bar and asking:

"Nothing happened, right?"

"Not at all, everything is quite good, but why hasn’t Xiao Baihong come back? His cooking is really tasty," Shen Feixue chatted.

Wu Xiaode looked around.

Nothing unusual.

He gradually relaxed, picked up the glass of wine Shen Feixue passed him, and gulped it down.

"He probably can’t come over recently, I also have some matters to attend to outside, so I came to check on you first," Wu Xiaode said.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine," Shen Feixue said.

"I will leave two Demon Gods in the shadows to protect you—don’t worry, you don’t need to bother about them, just live as you usually would," Wu Xiaode said.

In the mist, the Enchanting Demon Skadi and Fallen Angel Ulysses quietly appeared.

Shen Feixue’s face showed a hint of gratitude, softly saying:

"Okay, but it actually doesn’t matter. After all, my sister has been here all along, and she is quite formidable."

"Your sister, huh." Wu Xiaode repeated.

Shen Feixue’s sister—

Sister—

The curtain of the storage room behind the bar was lifted, and a pure and charming girl with a stunning figure came out carrying a box of beer.

"Little Wu is back, huh."

The girl greeted Wu Xiaode, and neatly placed the beer behind the counter.

Wu Xiaode looked at the girl.

Shen Feixue’s sister, Shen Xiujun, was one of the world’s rare cultivators, exceptionally skilled, who it was said had carved out her own path.

In many previous battles, thanks to her assistance at his side, many dangers were turned into safety.

She had a good relationship with him, and often there was a tacit understanding between them in battle.

"Yes, I came back to check, I will leave soon," Wu Xiaode nodded in response.

"What are you busy with again?" the girl asked curiously.

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but sigh, "Alas, my strength is too insignificant, I’m going to train a bit and see if I can improve."

—Without relying on the Ghost Queen’s power, solely with his 160-level Soul Power, he couldn’t even release the Curse Seal, Descend, or Tao Power.

Hurry up and improve!

Wu Xiaode thought to himself.

The girl named Shen Xiujun glanced at him, her eyes twinkling, suddenly smiling as she said:

"You’re looking to train? Why not ask me, I’m the best at training humans—and I don’t charge."

Wu Xiaode suddenly snapped out of his reverie.

Yes.

Shen Xiujun was very powerful, and although she specialized in cultivation-related powers, many aspects of knowledge were similar, and if he had any problems, asking her would certainly be right.

Just as Wu Xiaode was about to nod, suddenly a slight noise came from his wrist.

Crack!

The watch suddenly broke!

Wu Xiaode, quick as ever, caught the broken strap and watch face in his hands.

He looked down to see the pointer on the watch face had stopped moving.

It ultimately pointed to the middle between "Safe" and "Danger", but the arrow of the pointer was slightly leaning towards "Danger".

What was this situation?

Wu Xiaode was taken aback and silently put the watch away.

Just as he was about to continue speaking with Shen Xiujun, suddenly a strange piece of information surged into his mind:

"Congratulations!"

"Task One: Choice of the Beginning has been completed."

"You have found the ’?’."

"The book will now activate the true path of Destruction mission!"

Wu Xiaode froze.

What?

Why had he found the "?""?

Before him were only the sister duo Shen Feixue and Shen Xiujun.

Could the so-called "?"" refer to The Queen Mother of the West, still an unborn fetus in Shen Feixue’s belly?

As he pondered silently, he saw the Book of the Dead quietly land behind him, before gradually merging into his body.

—It hid itself.

What followed were two lines projected by the Book of the Dead into his mind:

"Be cautious."

"The girl opposite you, Shen Xiujun, can see me."

Wu Xiaode was somewhat surprised.

It seemed... something was not quite right...

Had Shen Xiujun been able to see the Book of the Dead before?

He had no recollection of it.

As he pondered silently, a new mission surfaced in Wu Xiaode’s mind:

"Destruction’s Path mission officially begins."

"You have found the ’?’ From this moment on, the book no longer needs to conceal the ’?’."

"’?’ is the Calamity Demon."

"With this meeting between you and the Calamity Demon, the book of Destruction Laws will now activate a secret from history."
