Ultimate Scheming System Chapter 1493 - Open the Coffin and Look Inside

Chapter 1493: Open the Coffin and Look Inside

“What the heck? I’m a famous cultivator. What do I need an Extraordinary Power for?”

Xu Que’s initial reaction was to be stumped. He felt like asking the System whether they were extremely stupid.

But then the next moment he suddenly realized what he was being offered.

“An Extraordinary Power? X-ray vision? Mind reading? F*ck yes, I want this extraordinary power.”

Xu Que shouted excitedly to the system, “Yes, quickly recycle it and give me the Extraordinary Power. I want X-ray vision.”

A cultivator could use his soul strength to understand everything clearly and to see an enemy’s Celestial Core Power flowing within his internal meridians and vessels.

However, even though this ability was more powerful than an X-ray, it couldn’t stir one’s blood like X-ray vision could.

With X-ray vision, one could see under others’ clothes at any time. Soul strength would just see through the outside of the body to the bones and meridians right away. The two functions were not the same thing.

DING! “A mutant shroud has been successfully recycled, and 1,000 points of Weapon-Refining Essence have been obtained, as well as an Extraordinary Power.”

The System beep sounded, and at the same time an introduction of the Extraordinary Power popped up on its interface.

: The ability obtained from the recycled mutant shroud is the ability to communicate with any article of clothing that the host puts on to acquire the secrets of the owner of said clothing. (Note: the closer the clothing is worn next to the skin, the more secrets you will obtain.)

“What???”

After Xu Que had read the introduction of the Extraordinary Power, he looked dumbstruck for a moment and didn’t move from where he was standing. He was completely baffled.

“Speaking Clothes Spell?

“And he had to wear the other party’s clothes in order to communicate with them?

“Come on, this is a crazy Extraordinary Power. Wearing other people’s clothes to talk with them, and it’s better to choose the clothes that are closest to the skin? Ah, have I got no shame?”

“System, are you playing with me? What kind of d*mn use does this lousy Extraordinary Power have? If I want to know the secrets of others, I can just conduct interrogation by torture. If that is of no use, I can force the soul to reveal its secrets. That would definitely be stronger than this Extraordinary Power no matter what.” Xu Que immediately called out the System. He was extremely annoyed and wanted to settle a score with the System.

His recycled shroud had been used up in exchange for such an insignificant lousy ability, and this felt like a loss.

DING! “Any object, once recycled, cannot be returned.” The System responded with complete indifference.

Xu Que sneered and shook his head.

“Forget it, the System’s behavior was only something that was going to bother him for a day or two.

“Furthermore, the broken shroud wouldn’t have been of any use to him. This whole incident really wouldn’t have any impact on his life at all.

“But since the matter of secrets had been brought up…”

Xu Que glanced toward b.u.t.tface. He had known b.u.t.tface for so many years. And this fool had always kept his origins secret in a very mysterious way. Even thought he had said countless times that he was the descendant of the Ancient Magic Dragon, it had never been confirmed.

The point was that if Xu Que could get his hands of some of b.u.t.tface’s close-to-the-body clothes, he might be able to acquire some real secrets about b.u.t.tface’s previous lives and origins.

But the most important question now was where would he be able to find some of b.u.t.tface’s close-to-the-body clothes?

Xu Que looked at b.u.t.tface’s bare b.u.t.tocks and couldn’t help but fall into a deep contemplation.

“F*ck, boy, what are you doing? Why are you looking at Your Holiness’s lower body?” b.u.t.tface became suddenly alert.

“Nothing, it’s nothing. Next time you shed some fur, remember to collect it. I can make you a defensive Celestial Artifact,” Xu Que replied in a lighthearted manner.

Although b.u.t.tface didn’t wear any clothing, he had dog fur on his body that could be used to make clothes. Xu Que decided that he would look for a chance to shave some fur off b.u.t.tface’s body and make a piece of clothing to wear. Perhaps he would really be able to acquire a lot of b.u.t.tface’s hidden secrets.

“Is that true or false? Your Holiness’s fur can be made into a Celestial Artifact? As expected, Your Holiness’s body is full of treasures. But now what Your Holiness really wants to know is what is this run-down place?”

After b.u.t.tface had showed off a little, he began to complain about their surroundings again.

The entire cave was not very s.p.a.cious. There was the small entrance area where they were located, and the rest was just the deeper part of the cave that had an altar filled with coffins.

The reason they were here was inside those coffins: the Supreme Existence of the Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes, which made b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude afraid to make any reckless moves at the moment.

“Even thieves have a code. We will not touch those coffins.” Duan Jiude immediately spoke up when he realized that Xu Que’s eyes had been fixed on the coffins the entire time that they’d been in here.

It was not that they had a code. In truth, he was scared and was pretty sure that they couldn’t afford to provoke those Celestial Kings and Celestial Primes.

“I didn’t say I was going to touch them. What are you getting nervous about? First, you set up a few Trap & Kill Arrays here. Then I’ll go inside myself and take a look. I’ll be back right away.”

Xu waved his hands and rushed straight toward the altar.

In any case, he had to wake up a Celestial King and then leave again. Otherwise, those attractive rewards that the System was going to give him would disappear.

SWIs.h.!.+

With the accompaniment of a loud sound, Xu Que landed lightly on the altar and found himself standing in the middle of the coffins.

His arrival didn’t cause any movements. All the coffins remained just as quiet as they’d been before. The surroundings were also very quiet. Only b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude stood outside, watching him.

“Heh, heh, heh, wake one up, get a reward, and run.”

Xu Que’s mouth opened slightly and his eyes locked on the coffin resting next to him.

From what he could sense of the soul, it wasn’t difficult to figure out that the person in this coffin was a Celestial King. He had fallen into a deep sleep in a kind of suspended animation state. His breathing was very shallow, but his cultivation stage hadn’t weakened at all.

BANG!

Xu Que didn’t hesitate. He immediately got out his Magic Art and cut through the seal outside of the coffin. Instantly, the entire outside covering that was made entirely of jade cracked open.

Inside the casket, a bronze casket was revealed.

All these noises and movements still didn’t seem to have caused any awakening of the powerful being. Even Xu Que’s strike, which had been powerful and loud, hadn’t disturbed the tranquility.

“F*ck, I have a bad feeling about this. Don’t tell me that the hardest part of this whole challenge is to wake up the person inside?” Xu Que frowned and hurriedly summoned the System to inquire about the details.

The System responded as if it knew beforehand what the question was going to be.

DING! “The host can rest a.s.sured that the difficulty of waking up the other party is not high. The moment the coffin is opened, the other side will be awakened!”

“Very well, even though I’m not sure what kind of trouble you devious System is trying to create, I’m still determined to get this round of rewards.” Xu Que smiled boldly, and gathered his Celestial Core Power into his palm to slam toward that bronze coffin.

BANG!

With a muted sound, the bronze coffin suddenly shook violently, following which the whole coffin’s cover flew open.

Sure enough, the System hadn’t lied this time. It really hadn’t been difficult to wake the Celestial King.

With an easy punch from Xu Que, the bronze coffin had opened right up.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of the person lying inside the bronze coffin. Clad in a white, immaculate long dress, the person wore a feathered crown that seemed to have been formed from the cold, sparkling and bright.

It was actually a woman.

More important, this woman’s facial features and profile were vaguely familiar. It seemed as if he knew her.

“F*ck, Xuanyuan Wanrong? No, it can’t be her…” Xu Que was startled, but he soon gathered his senses.

Although the woman lying in the bronze coffin looked a little like Xuanyuan Wanrong, the entire feel of her, including her face, was off. She was somewhat different from Xuanyuan Wanrong.

However, if he wasn’t guessing wrong, this woman must have been a blood descendant of Xuanyuan Wanrong.

“Yes or no? Xuanyuan Wanrong seemed to have said that she’d always been alone. Then who could the woman in the coffin be?”

Xu Que’s face turned serious as he started to ponder the situation.
