Chapter 1734: A Bit Too Hasty

At this time, the entire Chaotic Forest was a scene of the end of the world.

Countless trees collapsed, dust and smoke rose everywhere, a large number of birds flew across the sky, and beasts in the forest fled everywhere; this was the natural reaction of wild beasts when encountering natural disasters.

Compared to the reaction of the beasts, the emotions of the cultivators appeared more intense.

First was the problem of the exit.

When the first cultivator discovered that the exit was directly closed, he panicked.

"What's the situation? The exit is closed?" The cultivator bumped into the exit, feeling his head buzzing.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly surrounded the exit, only to find after trying that it was really closed.

That light curtain, which was like a vortex, had now become a hard wall, and no matter what they did, they couldn't open it.

Some impatient cultivators raised their hands and struck it with immortal magic, but they couldn't even crack it.

"What should we do now?"

The cultivators were dumbfounded. Seeing that the Chaotic Forest was about to be destroyed, could they just stay here and wait for death if they couldn't run away?

Just at this moment, the thick voice from when they entered the Chaotic Forest sounded again: "The Chaotic Forest is about to be destroyed. The exit is closed. Find the Eternal Ancestor and extend its life to reopen the exit."

This voice was like a life-saving straw for everyone. The moment they heard it, hope erupted in the eyes of the cultivators present.

But after listening, they all fell into a state of confusion.

What the hell is the Eternal Ancestor?

And we have to save it, we can't even find the protagonist right now!

Only Xu Que had a look of shock in his eyes; this voice actually knew of the existence of the Eternal Ancestor!

But thinking about it, if it were an Immortal Emperor, scanning with divine sense, even if this Eternal Ancestor was hidden deeply, it should have been found.

In fact, what he didn't know was that for so many years, it was all thanks to the Eternal Ancestor that so many Dao Pattern Stones could be produced in the Chaotic Forest.

The four Immortal Emperors were also for this reason that they hadn't done anything to the Chaotic Forest, and they also discovered that the Eternal Ancestor seemed to have a tendency to wither as soon as it left the Chaotic Forest, so they had been keeping it here.

Now that the Eternal Ancestor was suddenly about to die, it triggered the changes in the Chaotic Forest, and the exit was closed, clearly meaning the entire Chaotic Forest was to die with the Eternal Ancestor.

The four Immortal Emperors wanted to save it, but they couldn't spare the time, so they could only pin their hopes on these Immortal Emperor disciples.

Xu Que looked around and found that most of the cultivators present had blank expressions; basically, none of them knew what the Eternal Ancestor was about.

There were even a few whose mental states had obviously gone wrong—don't know if they got sick after coming in or had it before—kneeling on the ground and starting to mutter, seemingly praying for the mercy of the gods.

This made Xu Que's teeth ache, thinking that you are all cultivators, do you not have any idea whether those gods are useful?

But speaking of saving the Eternal Ancestor...

"Everyone, this poor monk has heard a little about the Eternal Ancestor," Xu Que put his hands together. "If I can help you all, this poor monk is willing to help you."

"This... it's too dangerous!" Fairy Nishang didn't know what Xu Que was going to do, but subconsciously felt that the risk must be very high.

However, Xu Que waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Amitabha, if I don't go to hell, who will? Saving all living beings from suffering is the duty and obligation of this poor monk as a Buddhist disciple!"

For a time, the way everyone looked at Xu Que was no different from looking at a living Bodhisattva.

The cultivators present had often come into contact with Buddhist people, and at this moment, they wished they could record Xu Que's image and play it on a loop in front of those Buddhist disciples.

Look, look! What is a true Buddhist disciple!

Fearless in the face of danger, saving the world from fire and water!

Much better than those monks who save the world when there's nothing to do but close the mountain gate when there's trouble!

Many cultivators even began to suspect that maybe this Zha Tian Bang monk was the true orthodoxy of Buddhism?

Immediately, a cultivator was excited and bowed: "If Master Tang can save us, I, Chen San, will surely respect Master Tang as my master in this life!"

"I, Nicholas Zhao Si, am willing to set up a merit tablet for Master Tang in my mansion!"

"Wuwu, in the future, when I have a son, I will definitely recognize Master Tang as his father!"

Xu Que felt a shock in his body; recognizing a godfather was unnecessary, this poor monk is not that kind of person.

Just by saying these words, the acting cool points in the system rose like a rocket!

Qiu Zili and Ling Nishang looked at each other, both feeling uneasy.

The situation in this Chaotic Forest was a situation that hadn't happened in thousands of years. If Master Tang were allowed to go alone, I'm afraid it would be hard to escape the disaster.

"Master Tang, I'll go with you."

"Master Tang, I'll go with you too!"

The two said simultaneously.

Xu Que thought for a while, anyway, it didn't take much effort, he just had to put that crystal core into the trunk of the Eternal Ancestor.

It was said before that the crystal core could extend the life of the Dongling Grass, and now the Dongling Grass was the Eternal Ancestor, so extending its life was equal to extending the life of the Eternal Ancestor.

"Okay, you can follow." Xu Que habitually instructed, "This trip is dangerous, please prepare more."

Then he saw Fairy Nishang solemnly explaining her funeral arrangements to her junior brothers, and those Saint Moon Hall cultivators all had expressions like they were about to lose their fathers.

Most of the troubles in human life come from thinking too much; Xu Que verified this truth personally again.

Qiu Zili, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression; she didn't have many friends to begin with, and now it was just because everyone had been through life and death together that their relationship was slightly harmonious.

Watching Xu Que and the others go away, the disciples of the major immortal domains felt heavy.

They knew that after this trip, the few of them would probably be in a situation of nine deaths and one life.

Xu Que took Fairy Nishang and Qiu Zili and rushed all the way, following the cracks on the ground, to the territory of the Eternal Ancestor.

Even after so many years, the concealment array of the Eternal Ancestor was still working.

Looking at the huge body of the Eternal Ancestor within the array, Qiu Zili and Fairy Nishang were both stunned.

When had they ever seen such a huge and magnificent body!

"Master Tang... is this the Eternal Ancestor? How can we repair it?" Fairy Nishang murmured.

Then, the two saw Xu Que take something out of his pocket, pour something unknown from it into his palm, and press it onto the body of the Eternal Ancestor.

Then he waved his hand at the two: "Let's go, things are done."

Fairy Nishang: "..."

Qiu Zili: "..."

No, we haven't done anything yet. Wouldn't it be too hasty to leave like this?
