Chapter 59: That Xu Que From Six Years Ago

The next day, the sky was bright and radiant.

Xu Que draped on his black robes and carried the dark buster sword. He was chewing on some foxgrass as he hummed a tune and walked across the mountainous roads.

He had already travelled non-stop for an entire night and was inching closer towards the imperial city.

He had finally reached the borders of the Fire Country. Not only were the borders desolate, the journey to the imperial city from here was extremely far. Even if he were to travel continuously for days and nights, he would take at least another month or two before he would reach.

However, Xu Que was mentally prepared for this arduous journey. He was also prepared to kill any demonic beasts who appeared so that he could accumulate more experience points and continue gaining levels.

Besides, his journey to the imperial city meant that it was paved with dangerous people.

For example, the Emperor was of the Infant Transformation Stage, level 6. He was a level higher than the Celestial Sect's Leader, Zhang Dan Shan, whose might was already frightening to behold.

Earlier during their last encounter, Xu Que had used his pair of mystical fires to attack Zhang Dan Shan. This was also after he activated his Soaring Dragon's Nine Transformation Skill with the added strength. That was Xu Que's most powerful combination.

Right to the end, he didn't even lay a scratch on Zhang Dan Shan. He only managed tear his clothes, which made him look worse off than he really was.

And Xu Que's journey to the imperial city to face the Emperor of the Fire Country, who was much stronger than Zhang Dan Shan, placed a tremendous amount of pressure on him.

When a cultivator reached the Infant Transformation Stage, every level increase was extremely difficult to achieve. For example, the strongest person in Celestial Sect, the leader, would have taken several decades just to increase in one level. Besides, he would require a great deal of treasures and resources in order to ascend.

The difference between Zhang Dan Shan and the Emperor of the Fire Country might just be a single cultivation level but it was a huge difference. If the pair of them were to engage in a battle, Zhang Dan Shan would lose within several moves.

The difference between them was only one level but in order to reach the cultivation level of the Emperor, the amount of resources required was enough to raise tens of cultivators up to the Original Infant Stage.

Therefore, Xu Que wasn't exactly feeling very good about it. Although he killed many people before this, they were just tiny flies. If he were to really face up against an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator, he wouldn't stand the tiniest chance.

"Ai, so depressed!" Xu Que reared his head back and sighed as he kept walking onwards.

Before long, he had scaled an entire mountain and had descended from it. When he reached the foot of the mountain to rest, he noticed that there was a tea house nearby.

Since this route was a common route and everywhere was a desolated wasteland, most people would rest at this particular teahouse regardless of whether they were cultivators or normal people.

When Xu Que walked over, he noticed that there were many normal people sitting around. Before long, the waiter came up to them and poured some boiling water into their teacups.

"Waiter, get me a bottle of Sprite!" Xu Que found an empty table and threw his weight down on it as he shouted out.

The waiter paused, "Guest, what's a sp-sprite? We don't have that here."
