Chapter 63: The Phaseless Magic
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Hidden task reward? Phaseless Magic?
Bloody hell!
Xu Que immediately widened his eyes.
This was the first time he had received this type of system message. It became apparent to him that the reason for this message, was that the Phaseless Faction had a very far-reaching history. Although they had been reduced to a small Faction now, it still triggered the hidden task completion in the system and allowed Xu Que to chance upon this stroke of luck.
Just by killing a single Elder, he’ll be able to acquire a chapter of "Minor Phaseless Art". When six of them were accumulated, exchanging for the "Phaseless Magic" was possible.
Xu Que was very clear that this skill was not available in the system store and for this skill to be termed as "High-Class Sky-Ranked", it was obvious that this skill book’s value was anything but ordinary. 2
"Young lad, bring out any magical powers you have from your arsenal. I’ll let you be of some use before your death!"
At this moment, Elder Wu let out a warcry, and activated an identical version of Xu Que’s Lightning Haste. Lifting up his sharp sword and using it as a Buster Sword, he executed the the Flame-Devouring Wave and advanced towards Xu Que with killing intent.
Of course, these skills were all imitations. The speed and power of the imitated skills were not comparable to Xu Que’s as he could only imitate around 30% power of the original skill.
Elder Wu’s eyes were filled with ecstasy. The two skills he had imitated were remarkably powerful and had allowed his overall strength to increase by several folds.
The group of Phaseless Sect disciples witnessed Elder Wu advancing, and they all cheered him on.
"Elder Wu’s might is unmatched!"
"What a beautiful execution! His stance is out of this world. Only Elder Wu could do that!"
"Elder Wu, quickly make a mincemeat out of this scum to avenge for the death of senior brother!"
…
Xu Que creased his brows and also used the Lightning Haste to dodge Elder Wu’s attack. He secretly celebrated that he had not used his Soaring Dragons Nine Transformation. If he did, Elder Wu’s power would increase again.
However, the situation at hand was still very endangering to Xu Que.
"Why? Do you not dare to use other skills? Or should I say that that’s all you have in you?" Elder Wu slashed his sword through the air and mockingly laughed.
Xu Que briefly nodded, letting out an icy cold smile from his lip corner, "Old fart, you talk too much! You think you are all tough with your Minor Phaseless Art? I’ve a skill which you definitely cannot imitate. Want to see?"
"Hehe… you ignorant little lad. There‘s no skill that I, from Phaseless Faction, cannot learn and imitate!" Elder Wu started to laugh maniacally.
"I shall show you!" With a chilly laugh, he lifted his palm in the air and chanted in his mind.
At the moment, a serene, white-coloured flame emerged from his palm. It started to churn non-stop, giving out a chilly aura. The flame then started to diffuse and fill the air around.
Elder Wu squinted his eyes and quietly activated the Minor Phaseless Art. But at the next moment, he was stunned.
"How… How could this be possible? Why couldn’t I detect any skill?!" Elder Wu was astonished. Could it be that there existed a skill which the Minor Phaseless Art cannot learn?
"Dumbass. It’s because this isn’t a skill! It’s a mystical flame. Now go to hell!" Xu Que’s eyes let out a chilly light and thrusted his palm forward. 1
Boom!
The mighty Bone Freezing Fire abruptly rushed forward and akin to a gust of white-coloured wind, it engulfed Elder Wu and the group of disciples in a flash.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Core Bearing Stage Cultivator. The reward is 10,000 experience points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Core Bearing Stage Cultivator. The reward is 10,000 experience points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing Golden Core Stage Cultivator. The reward is 50,000 experience points and a Golden Core!"
…
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on killing Phaseless Faction Elder. The reward is 200,000 experience points and the <
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 act tough points!"
A chain of system beep message appeared and sounded in his mind.
Xu Que immediately entered the system interface, opened up the item bag and a book, identical to a martial arts manual appeared. It was the <
[ <
Phaseless, shapeless and no traces can be found.
After collecting three identical chapters, it can be combined to form the "Minor Phaseless Art". Mid-level Earth-ranked skill uses one’s body to imitate others. After perfecting skill, the imitated skill will have 40% of the original’s power!
After collecting six identical chapters, it can be combined to form the "Phaseless Magic". High-level Sky-ranked skill, uses one’s body to imitate others. After perfecting skill, the imitated skill will have 80% of the original’s power!
…
"Wow, damn! This Phaseless Magic defies natural order. It’s able to imitate the opponent’s skills and have 80% of its power. It’s definitely comparable to the ‘Battle’ Secret Character from the Nine-Characters Secret." Xu Que was shocked.
In the Nine-Characters Secret, the ‘Battle’ Secret Character, was similarly a high-level Sky-ranked skill book. It had the same function of being able to imitate skill from others but after mastering it, the power from the imitated skill would be even stronger than the original skill itself.
It’s a pity that the ‘Battle’ Secret Character was very difficult to obtain. The rate of acquiring it was seven to one. Xu Que did not have too much act tough points presently and definitely did not have the capacity to gamble for it!
Therefore, with the hidden task reward that the system had given, Xu Que was overjoyed. It was definitely a tool to act tough!
"Phaseless Faction, here I come!"
Xu Que laughed out loudly and quickly advanced towards the Phaseless Faction.
But as he turned around, he saw a pile of frozen corpses. Behind them was a chubby piece of flesh crawling on his stomach.
Whoah! That’s a human!
"Get up, don't hide. With your mesmerizing, chiseled figure, there’s no use hiding anywhere. Don’t think I can’t see you." Xu Que quickly walked over and kicked his buttocks as he coldly sneered.
The chubby man’s reaction was quick and immediately crawled up and hugged Xu Que’s thigh before he sullenly pleaded, "Master, master, please spare me! I have a big family to take care of and I’ve not done any bad deeds…"
Xu Que was elated. He recognized this chubby man. He was the one behind the group to jeer, "Whoever runs is a pussy" before the fight started. Who knew that such a thick-skinned person is calling him Master. It seemed as if he was admitting that he was a pussy.
"You fat piece of grease. You are quite smart aren’t you? How did you manage to dodge my flame?" Xu Que was curious.
The chubby man bitterly replied, "I… I’ve stolen some Minor Phaseless Art, so… I used the lightning move you used to dodge your skill."
"Hmm, not bad. Stand up. I won’t kill you for now. You better lead the way." Xu Que laughed and replied.
The chubby man froze in his tracks and nervously asked, "To… To where?"
"To Phaseless Faction, to kill all of your people!"
A chill was sent down the chubby man’s spine. He opened his mouth and immediately cried out, "Alright! I will quickly lead the way and let you kill the whole Faction. I’ve not been fond of those bunch of old people since the beginning." 1
Xu Que laughed loudly but didn’t speak. The disciples of the Phaseless Faction all had similar personalities.. They would run if the situation was bad for them and would take advantage of any situation to make themselves better off.

Chapter 64: With This Skill, I Can Act Tough
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
With someone to lead the way, Xu Que didn’t have to personally search mountain by mountain. He immediately activated the Lightning Haste, dragged the chubby man by his collar and left for the few mountains up ahead.
In no time, the both of them landed upon the foot of the mountain at the Phaseless Faction.
What they could see was a mountain path continuing upwards, branching out to even more paths.
At the same time, there were several sedan bearers carrying a decorated and luxurious sedan chair standing at one of the side paths. They seemed unsure as to which direction to go.
Seated in the sedan chair was a young man wearing a cloud-pattern embroidered robe. His appearance was delicate and handsome-looking. In addition, he had the personality traits of one from the Yushu Tibetan prefecture. It seemed like he was at the Golden Core Cultivation Stage.
Bearing his anxious-looking face, he came upon Xu Que and the chubby man. He quickly raised his voice, "Oi! Two of you, stop right there. Do the both of you know where the Phaseless Faction is? If you lead me, the son of a noble there, I will reward you handsomely!"
"Another arrogant prick!"
Xu Que was rushing to destroy the Phaseless Faction and did not have time to cater an arrogant royalist.
However, when the chubby man turned his head to the sedan chair and saw the noble’s son, his expression changed. He muttered to Xu Que, "Master, the person in the sedan chair is the son of the Senior Minister of Fire Country. I once saw him in the Imperial City."
"The Senior Minister’s son is none of my damned business. Quickly lead the way!" Xu Que replied with his eyes getting wider.
"That way!" The chubby man pointed out the direction miserably.
Xu Que did not waste any time. He dragged the chubby man and activated the Lightning Haste. Immediately, his figure became fuzzy and they swept past the sedan chair onward to Phaseless Faction!
Looking at the both of them leave, the young man was initially shocked at the weird skill he was using. But after that, he thought of the fact that Xu Que just ignored him and that he gave him an expressionless look. He momentarily widened his eyes and furiously exclaimed, "Screw them! I, the son of a noble, asked them to lead the way because I felt that they were capable. And they did not even take a look at me? Even those small time princes from the capital wouldn’t dare to ignore me like that."
A servant from the side pleaded, "Boss, please calm down. These two people are just some punks from the mountains who don’t know what is good for them. After you learn the Minor Phaseless Art from the Phaseless Faction, you will definitely become unrivalled and no Golden Core Stage Cultivators will be a match for you."
"Hmph! It’s just a mere Minor Phaseless Art. I don’t think it’s as strong as what the legends exaggerated. It’s only capable of imitating low leveled skills, nothing much. In the end, it has its limits and only exhibits a certain percent of the original. If it’s really that strong, the Phaseless Faction would have been cleared out long ago and even my father was unable to protect them. If not for the fact that the Emperor wanted to pick his son-in-law for the Princess two months later, I wouldn’t even bother coming to such a place. However… the lad in the black robe has a rather peculiar skills!"
…
At the same time, at the Phaseless Faction...
Xu Que entered the mountain gate, tossed the chubby man inside and at the same time, held the Dark Heavy Buster Sword in his other. The Buster Sword casted a large and imposing shadow. With a stance capable of taking down ten thousand men, he executed his big plan to eradicate the entire Faction!
"Atrocious! Who dares to break into the Phaseless Faction? You definitely do not fear death!"
Tens of disciples rushed forward with a war cry.
In the end, Xu Que slammed his Buster Sword down. He had successfully used the Six Corporeal Forms to its full potential and the figure of his Buster Sword covered a wide area.
One by one, the Core Bearing and Golden Core Stage disciples all exploded into fogs of blood under the immense pressure of his giant Buster Sword.
The chubby man was the most unlucky. He tried to act smart and secretly activated the Lightning Haste he imitated from Xu Que to escape. 1
Although Xu Que did not want to kill him, the chubby man sent himself towards the giant Buster Sword and died in the hands of the Six Corporeal Forms spell. 1
"Damn, I wanted you to become my errand boy after this. You idiot, you just sent yourself to death!" Xu Que scolded in his mind and continued slaughtering the others.
"You atrocious thief! Stop it at once!"
Quickly, the Elders from Phaseless Faction emerged. Even the head of the Faction was alerted. He was a frail and skinny-looking old man who was at the Original Infant Stage, level 8.
After they appeared, they proceeded to activate the Lightning Haste from Xu Que. They quickly surrounded Xu Que in all directions, hacking their swords towards him. It was the Buster Sword skill of the Six Corporeal Forms!
"What a bunch of vixens!"
Xu Que pouted his lips and activated his own Lightning Haste spell, escaping from the circle of Elders. They must’ve been hidden in the dark when he was killing the rest of the Phaseless Faction disciples and learnt the skill from him then. Now, here they are, all using his skill to attack him.
"Who summoned you to make a ruckus over here?"
"You really don’t know where you stand. You are just a mere Golden Core Stage, how dare you act insolent around here?!"
"You better submit yourself and hand over all the skills you have learnt."
A few of the Elders said evilly with stern expressions. They were scheming to learn the other skills Xu Que possessed!
Xu Que sneered, "Since you people so nicely asked, then I shall be generous and explain. It’s in order to protect this world from devastation, to maintain world peace, to spread love and righteousness… Pfff! Can't make up anymore. Anyway, I am going to be generous and explain everything to you all before your deaths. A few years ago, you people persecuted a married couple who were disciples. And now you are after their child. Don’t you think that this is too ridiculous? Because of that, today, I am going to do something ridiculous too. Like killing all of you!" 2
Finishing his swords, Xu Que expelled a wave of Bone Freezing Fire from his palm. A chilly burst of flames fluttered forward, intimidating everyone around!
"Hehe... do you think you alone are qualified to avenge them? I shall… Eh? Why can't I detect any skill presence?" One of the Elders was jeering but his expression suddenly changed and stared at the flames in Xu Que’s palm in awe.
"How is this possible?"
"There are no skills we Phaseless Faction cannot imitate. What the hell is that?"
Everybody else, including the head of Phaseless Faction were stunned.
Xu Que lifted his lip corner, "Let me tell you all. This is called Mystical Fire. The brilliant and famous Bone Freezing Fire!"
Finishing up, Xu Que thrusted his palm outwards.
A majestic-looking flame escaped into the air. Akin to a roaring ice dragon, it engulfed them in an instant like waterfall.
"Not good! Hurry!!!" The head of the Phaseless Faction widened his eyes and shouted out.
Before he could finish, he was enveloped by the Bone Freezing fire and the group of them became a bunch of ice sculptures on the spot!
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for successfully acting tough. The reward is 80 act tough points!"

. Do you want to train the skill?"
: 1
High-level Sky-ranked skill, uses one’s body to imitate others. After perfecting the skill, the imitated skill will have 80% of the original’s power!
"Of course, I’d want to train it. As the saying goes, with remarkable skills, one can act as tough as they want. How can I not train the skill!" Xu Que exclaimed while laughing.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ on successfully training ‘Phaseless Magic’!"
Xu Que’s lower abdominal area started to feel a gush of warmth. The warmth then started to flow throughout his body and he felt as if he had a thorough body massage. He felt more comfortable and refreshed than before.
Thus, the High-level Sky-ranked skill book has been learnt.
"Phaseless, shapeless and no traces can be found! What a profound skill. Who knew that these Phaseless Faction disciples were versed in such unique art. They would flee when the situation isn’t advantageous to them. They are indeed shapeless and escapes with no trace to be found!"
Staring at the now empty Phaseless Faction, Xu Que couldn’t help but to laugh.
Only a few Qi Refining Stage worms slipped away and this was not a concern to him at all. On top of that, the Phaseless Faction had already been eradicated. They wouldn’t dare to consider themselves as Phaseless Faction members anymore in fear that enemies would attack them.
Xu Que was too lazy to care. He turned and headed down the mountain. 4
…
Following the path out, not too long after, in front of him appeared a few sedan bearers carrying a sedan chair, rushing over.
It was the Senior Minister’s son from before!
Xu Que slanted his lips. He couldn’t be bothered to find trouble. Minding his own business, he then hummed a small tune and leisurely brushed shoulders with them.
At this time, the sedan curtain opened up. The Senior Minister's’ son stretched his body and looked towards Xu Que. After witnessing Xu Que’s remarkable skills, he was more polite and asked, "Friend, were you sent down the mountains by the Phaseless Faction? Is this road the way to the Faction?"
Xu Que’s raised his eyebrows and waved his hand in disapproval, "You want to go to the Phaseless Faction? Forget it! There is no such Faction anymore. I’d advise that you people join the Heaven Explosion Faction instead. That Faction is much better than the Phaseless Faction.. That’s all. Goodbye!"

Chapter 65: Looks Like It's My Chance To Act Tough Again
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Whistling, Xu Que gradually travelled away from the mountain.
"Hiccup…"
The son of the Senior Minister looked as Xu Que’s figure moved into the distance. His mouth was slightly opened and was a little startled.
The few servants at his side stared blankly for a moment and said, "Boss, what did the person in the black robe mean? Heaven Explosion Faction… What kind of Faction is that? Why haven’t we heard of it before?"
"I think you are blind. How dare you ask me about that? If I knew what he meant, why am I still sitting here contemplating?" The Senior Minister’s son stared at them and reprimanded.
The few servants immediately asked for forgiveness, "Boss, please calm down. It’s our fault for asking. We must be blind. Also, the man in the black robe must be crazy and talking nonsense. Boss, you need not care about him. Let’s follow this path and we will reach the Phaseless Faction!"
"Why are you all not lifting the sedan then? Also, when you all meet the head of the Phaseless Faction, make sure to be polite. Don't embarrass me. The head of the Faction is of the same cultivation level as my father!"
"Yes Boss, we understand. Please be rest assured!"
…
Together, they lifted the sedan and continued forward again.
Soon after, they were at the mountain gates of the Phaseless Faction. However...
"Eh? Why is there such a heavy smell of blood here? What has happened?" One of the servants creased his brows and exclaimed.
The few of them continued and eventually reached the entrance of the Phaseless Faction. They were flabbergasted.
The entire courtyard was filled with silence. The ground was fully stained with fresh blood. In the center, several ice sculptures of various elders could be seen!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a piece of garden rockery was pushed to the ground. A few pale-faced Qi Refining Stage disciples could be seen. With frightened faces, they crawled out. It was apparent that they had been hiding behind the garden rockery the entire time.
After they emerged and saw that there were still people in the courtyard, they became immediately terror stricken and wanted to turn tail and flee.
One of the servants quickly reacted and shouted out, "Friends, don't be alarmed. We are from the Minister’s Residences of the Imperial City. The son of the Minister is inside the sedan. May I ask what has happened to your noble Faction?"
When the few Qi Refining Stage Disciples heard that they were from the Minister Residences, they heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down a little.
At this time, the noble son of the Minister’s Residence also lifted up the sedan curtain and walked out. After he squinted and scanned the surroundings, he looked towards the few disciples and asked, "What exactly has happened here? Where is your Faction head?"
The few disciples became pale, raised their arms and pointed at the ice sculptures in the center of the courtyard while trembling. They cried out, "Our… Our Faction head… he is dead! The Elders are all dead. Our Seniors… They are all dead! Our Phaseless Faction is gone. Everything is gone!"
"What?" The Minister’s son was momentarily stunned. A few of the servants became pale too and became speechless.
"Who… Who did all these?"
"Although the Phaseless Faction isn’t considered a big Sect, they have quite a reputation in the Fire Country. To meet with such calamity, was it possible that the Faction has offended a monster of an Infant Transformation Stage Cultivator?"
"No wonder the lad in the black robe said that there was no more Phaseless Faction. It turned out that he saw this scene unfold!" 2
…
The few servants were discussing quietly but when the Phaseless Faction members heard those words, their faces became pale yet again.
"Per…...Person in black robe? Is… Is he at the Full Foundation of the Golden Core Stage and carrying an ink-coloured, giant Buster Sword?" They asked the servants and convulsed in fear.
The few servants were stumped and nodded, "Yes, why? Do you know the person? He looks a little arrogant."
"..."
At this moment, the Qi Refining stage disciples froze and were too shocked to say a single word.
After a few moments of silence, one of the disciples replied faintly, "The one who killed our entire Phaseless Faction… was the person in the black robe!"
"What?" The Minister’s son and the servants were all blanked out and shortly after, they involuntarily laughed.
"Hey, this is not a trifling matter. Are you joking? Telling us that the person in black robe, who is merely at Full Foundation of the Golden Core Stage, eradicated the entire Phaseless Faction all by himself?"
"Yeah. How could you people say such absurd things? Were you all scared out of your minds?
"What exactly happened? Please think properly…"
The servants nodded and replied.
However, the few Phaseless Faction disciples who were still filled with trepidation and eyes full of fear, confidently replied, "We didn’t remember wrongly. It was definitely that black robed person and his Cultivation Stage is absolutely not only at Golden Core Stage."
"Respected guests, we only dare to say what happened up ‘till this point."
"Now, what we only want is to quickly get out of this barren waste of a land. The further, the better. If the black robed person returns, we will not be able to live on any further. We shall take our leave now!"
After finishing their words, they immediately fled.
The Minister’s son and the few servants were astonished and their hearts were in doubt.
However, the Minister’s son recalled the remarkable skills the black robed person exhibited and felt a chill ran down his spine. His forehead broke out in cold sweat as if he was frightened.
...
At this time, Xu Que had already returned to the village. On the road, he randomly received system messages from several instances of acting tough. However, he didn’t really bother about them and returned straight to the old woman’s home. 2
But… The old woman had already brought her grandson and fled. Still, there was a bowl of lukewarm porridge on the table!
"Sigh… Four hours wasn’t even up." Xu Que sighed but didn’t blame the old woman for not trusting him.
After all, the fear which mere mortals have for Cultivators was immense.
"Doesn’t matter. The news of the Phaseless Faction being destroyed will travel quickly in any case. When the time comes and when the old woman and child hears about it, they will definitely return! I should leave for the Imperial City."
In the end, Xu Que finished the bowl of porridge in one gulp before he regrettably left the small house and activated his Lightning Haste. He hovered upwards and along with the wind, continued his journey towards the Imperial City. 1
…
A few days later, Xu Que entered a wild forest. An Original Infant Stage Demon Beast had blocked his path.
Xu Que did not know whether to laugh or cry.
A few days ago, when he slaughtered the bunch of Phaseless Faction people, his experience points has already reached more than 1,300,000 points and he needed over a hundred thousand more points to level up. Who knew luck was on his side and a Demon Beast which was worth 200,000 experience points appeared right in front of him.
Might as well kill it!
"Bang!"
Xu Que held up his Dark Heavy Buster Sword and condensed his mighty Core Energy. A strong energy escaped from his body and engulfed him. With his robes which were as dark as night swaying with the wind, he executed the Flame-Devouring Wave and charged towards the Demon Beast mercilessly.
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for killing an Original Infant Stage Demon Beast. The reward is 200,000 experience points and random reward drops!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host ‘Xu Que’ for leveling up from the Full Foundation of Golden Core Cultivation Stage! Ready to advance to the Forty-Nine Heavenly Trial!"
"According to system calculations, the Heavenly Trial will commence in seven days. Difficulty mode: Difficult Mode!" 2
Damn it!
Xu Que widened his eyes and immediately shouted, "What the hell! This is my first Heavenly Trial and you’re making me do it in Difficult Mode? System, please don’t play such a joke on me. Didn’t you promise me to bring me to greater heights and greater ways of acting tough?"
"Ding! Since host is training the Ancient Five-Elemental Arts and this Skill Path’s power is unmatched, the Difficult Mode is already the easiest difficulty as of now. In the future, there could be Hell Mode, Asura Mode, Nine Deaths Mode…" 1
"Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!"
Just as Xu Que was listening to the system message in his mind, his ear twitched a little. Not too far off, there was a faint noise.
Following the sound was the six emerging silhouettes.
These six people were of the Original Infant Stage. They were wearing white clothes along with a red coloured mask, only exposing a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent!
"Not here. Continue to search. We won’t let her live!"
The six people briefly scanned Xu Que but they totally ignored him. They then turned and continued deeper into the forest.
Xu Que felt a chill. He scratched the back of his head in doubt and continued on.
A few steps later, he suddenly saw a horse carriage not too far in the distance. Surrounding the carriage were many corpses with fresh blood flowing all over the ground.
"Eh? This horse carriage…" Xu Que gasped in shock and astonishment.
"This horse carriage looks very familiar. It has a flag of the Fire Country on its roof. Damn… now that I recall, isn’t this the group I saw at the tea house six months ago? Looks like… they have been chased down and murdered by the group of people in red masks.. Tsk tsk tsk… looks like it's my chance to act tough again."
