Chapter 1249: I Don't Know Whether to Speak or Not

Er Gouzi's mischief is unpredictable!

Sometimes it suddenly acts up, leaving people torn between laughter and tears, but this time its antics made Xu Que unable to resist the urge to beat it senseless!

This humble Saint is about to die, and you still have the mood to cause trouble here?

Can't you have any sense of public morality?

Can't you show a little civility and etiquette?

And what's this about verbs or not? Can't you be a bit more innocent?

"Uh, oh no, this Divine Venerable also feels an uneasy premonition; could it be that this Divine Venerable has also fallen victim?" Suddenly, Er Gouzi panicked as well.

"That is my Killing Intent!" Xu Que replied abruptly.

"Damn!" Only then did Er Gouzi realize, immediately tucking its tail between its legs, ready to flee at any moment.

At this moment, Xu Que couldn't be bothered to argue with it; his gaze fell once again on the Plain behind him, his brows furrowed in silence for a moment before he finally shook his head: "Forget it, let's attend to important matters first. I simply don't believe that a mere sentence from him can take my life!"

"Good, well said, Brother Que's dad is awesome!" Er Gouzi immediately seized the opportunity, launching into a frenzy of flattery.

"Slap!"

At this moment, Duan Jiude tapped the Guiqiao once, causing several Runes to scatter from it, making his expression change drastically: "Whoa, this old man has calculated it; it is indeed a sign of great misfortune, extremely dangerous!"

Saying this, he looked up at Xu Que, smiling awkwardly: "The time is neither too much nor too little; it is exactly forty-nine days from now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the few people present immediately fell into silence.

Bai Cailing's face was filled with shock, Mo Junchen was half-dazed and half-alarmed, while Liu Jingning's delicate brows were tightly knitted, her eyes full of worry.

Xu Que also locked his brows tightly, exhaled deeply, and then let out a cold smile: "Forty-nine days from now? Good, then I will see who has the ability to take my life after forty-nine days!"

After speaking, Xu Que swept his gaze toward Bai Cailing and said solemnly: "Holy Maiden Bai, please continue to lead the way!"

Bai Cailing opened her mouth, hesitated, but ultimately nodded silently and continued to lead the way for the group.

Along the road, Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude became much more well-behaved, seemingly brainstorming ideas for Xu Que, while Liu Jingning used Sound Transmission to ask Xu Que for details.

Xu Que was unwilling to discuss this matter further, so he could only respond with a few trivial remarks; after all, he had already explained the entire incident in full just moments ago, leaving absolutely nothing to add.

Moreover, he had already regained his composure; thinking rationally, he truly did not believe that a single sentence from that child could cost him his life, as this was something even a Divine Spirit would find difficult to accomplish!

Whether out of confidence or out of spite, Xu Que actually found himself looking forward to what he would face after forty-nine days.

In short, whatever comes, he will kill it! Facing all problems with a calm heart is always better than spending those forty-nine days in fear and trembling or bound hand and foot!

Life and death are trivial; if you're not convinced, just fight! Isn't this sentence describing the present moment perfectly!

The corners of Xu Que's mouth curled upward, a heroic spirit soaring to the heavens, and the unease in his heart was largely dispelled.

Soon, for the next stretch of the journey, they proceeded extremely smoothly.

Bai Cailing displayed many unique methods for crossing Arrays, forcing Xu Que to nod in satisfaction and gratitude; the deeper they ventured into the Secret Realm, the more complex and dangerous the Formations became, and without Bai Cailing leading the way, relying on their small group alone, they would likely not be able to cross even a single Prohibition Array within ten days or half a month, and it would require tremendous effort!

Fortunately, this progress was smooth enough; within just one day, Bai Cailing led them into the Center Area of the Secret Realm, the only region where all Cultivators could actively operate and undergo training.

Although this region was merely the central zone of the Secret Realm, it was vast; subdivided, it could be categorized into over a hundred small zones, and even if Xu Que rode the Wind Fire Wheels at full speed, it was estimated to take a year or half a year to complete a full circuit.

Trying to find the area where the Shennong Clan planted the Resurrection Thousand Gold Vine in such a place was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

However, Bai Cailing was very clever; she had already excluded most of the zones, as those were places countless generations of Cultivators had visited, and many still operated there today, so they certainly could not be the secret planting grounds of the Shennong Clan.

In the Jade Slip Map she gave Xu Que, one region was marked; although it appeared tiny, finding it would still require some time, but it was far better than the few of them being unfamiliar with the terrain, blindly guessing and wandering around!

"Elder Xu, based on my speculation, this region is the most likely, or even certainly, the planting ground of the Shennong Clan; on one hand, the Demon Beasts in this area are too dense, making entry very dangerous, so few Cultivators would choose to train here, and on the other hand, this region contains many Illusionary Forbidden Formations; although their power is not great, dealing with them is quite troublesome, leaving even us helpless, so after you enter, you may need to expend considerable effort to locate the planting ground!" Bai Cailing explained seriously to Xu Que.

"Thank you!" Xu Que smiled slightly and cupped his fists in response.

This polite demeanor actually made Bai Cailing slightly stunned, but she did not overthink it, immediately cupping her fists and smiling: "Elder Xu is too polite; such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning. Compared to what you have done for the Yao Pond, what does this small favor amount to!"

After speaking, she bowed slightly: "It is a pity that the Yao Pond is currently busy with affairs, and this young lady's strength is limited, unable to assist Elder Xu with any major tasks; otherwise, I would certainly accompany Elder Xu to search for that place."

"It's fine, you return to the Yao Pond first; leave the rest to us!" Xu Que waved his hand, smiling calmly.

Bai Cailing was very sensible; fearing Xu Que might misunderstand that she wanted to share in the spoils, she used the busyness of the Yao Pond as an excuse to take her leave voluntarily, giving Xu Que face while providing herself a Tai Jie to step down, achieving the best of both worlds in her departure.

Naturally, Xu Que did not detain her further; after all, she had already helped with everything she could, having escorted them all the way here, which was akin to bringing them to the Gate, with only a threshold left to cross.

Furthermore, there was indeed no necessity for Bai Cailing to stay any longer, and her presence would affect their normal communication, so he simply let her go with the flow.

Finally, watching Bai Cailing depart, Xu Que and the others redirected their gaze to the location indicated on the Jade Slip Map.

"Haha, that girl has finally left; now we can speak freely!"

At this moment, Er Gouzi suddenly exclaimed excitedly, looking at Xu Que: "Kid, actually there is a sentence that this Divine Venerable does not know whether to speak or not!"

"Don't speak, thanks!" Xu Que rejected it without a second thought.

"Damn, why not? Does this Divine Venerable not even have freedom of speech?" Er Gouzi immediately shouted angrily.

"Teacher Er Gou, disaster comes from the mouth; it's better not to speak!" Duan Jiude reminded with a bitter smile.

Recalling Xu Que's angry expression from earlier, Er Gouzi finally restrained itself, nodding: "Very well, it's not an important matter anyway; for now, let's first go find that place and happily reap a harvest!"

"Not an important matter? Eh, wait a moment, this old man actually wants to hear it now!" Duan Jiude hurriedly said.

Xu Que also looked at Er Gouzi, nodding to indicate that it could speak!

Both of them knew clearly that this fool could not distinguish between important and unimportant matters; generally, when this guy claimed to have something important to say, it basically meant nothing, but when this guy said it wasn't important, it was likely to become a major incident within minutes!

"Really, it's nothing important." Er Gouzi waved its claws, looking at the surrounding environment: "This Divine Venerable just suddenly remembered that a very, very long time ago, I don't know which life it was, I once came here, but the changes seem huge; all the Ancient Cities are gone, some high Mountains have collapsed, some Rivers have dried up, and some sandy Seas have actually turned into real oceans!"

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Que and Duan Jiude had already exchanged glances, both seeing the four large characters "Just as expected" in each other's eyes.

Subsequently, the two simultaneously shouted: "Damn!"

【Finally finished holding it back, only the last Chapter remains! However, there are still two guaranteed Chapters for today, but I really can't hold on any longer right now; I need to hurry and sleep, then get up tonight to make up for it!

As for the matter of eating feces, I have thought of a method to reverse time; it is logical and well-founded, and you might not believe it if I say it out loud, but actually, I am Thanos, and I am currently in Los Angeles searching for the Time Stone. Do you think I want to make time go backward? No, as everyone knows, there is a time difference between foreign countries and the domestic one; Los Angeles is 16 hours behind China, so right now it is still Sunday here!】
