After squeezing the cultivators a few more times, Xu Que followed Buttface's method and walked out of the formation.
The moment he stepped out of the formation, the sunlight shone on him. Everyone felt like they had been reborn.
Some of the cultivators even had tears in their eyes.
"Finally … we're out!"
It wasn't their fault that they were in a bad mood. This damn formation was too strange.
In the beginning, no one noticed it, but the deeper they went, the more their minds were being eroded.
The weakest cultivators were celestial kings. Even so, their minds became weak under the erosion.
This change made everyone panic. Even the celestial monarchs were afraid.
If it wasn't for Xu Que encouraging them along the way, at least half of the cultivators would have died.
They had personally witnessed the scene of an Immortal King being dragged out and devoured alive by those ghostly creatures after his mind had collapsed.
"Thank you, Master Tang." Qing Suyi walked next to Xu Que and thanked him sincerely. "If it wasn't for you, we would all have died in there."
When the cultivators saw this, they all gathered around to thank Xu Que.
Xu Que made himself look pale. He waved his hand weakly and said, "The Buddhists say that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This is what I should do. You don't have to do this."
After that, he reached his hand out to Fahui. "Junior Brother, help me up. Let me rest. This place is dangerous, and I need to help. Fellow Daoists …"
Fahui was expressionless and didn't say a word.
He didn't know how to deal with Xu Que's exaggerated performance.
As the only person who had been with Xu Que and knew a lot about Buddhism, he had seen Xu Que release his Buddha light. Every once in a while, he would shout that he was exhausted.
What was the use of the Buddha light?
Normally, when Buddhist believers were preaching, they would release Buddha light. Releasing it for a year would cost them one thousandth of their power.
The main purpose was to show how strict Buddhism was. It was to make the light look strong.
The consumption along the way was practically negligible!
But if he didn't use Buddhism, how did he get rid of the ghosts?
Fahui didn't understand, but there were other cultivators next to him, so he couldn't ask.
While Fahui was supporting him, Xu Que put the Cloud-Patterned Stone in his hand into his storage ring.
Buddhist Dharma could drive ghosts away, but it consumed too much energy. Therefore, the Cloud-Patterned Stone given to him by Murong Yunhai was really effective. This stone had been in Buttface's possession.
Then, when they went to Heaven Gate to steal, Buttface dropped the stone, and Murong Yunhai picked it up.
When they went to Heaven gates to steal, Buttface dropped the stone, Murong Yunhai picked it up.
The reason why he and Duan Jiude had not chosen to enter the Ghost Valley even though they had the map was because they had lost the Cloud-Pattern Stone, and the other way to enter the Ghost Valley was to pile up human lives.
If it weren't for Xu Que's appearance and the Cloud-Patterned Stone in his hand, it would be a miracle if even a tenth of this group of people were left.
"I earned my hard-earned money." Xu Que sighed.
Accepting such a small amount of treasures to protect their lives, he was simply a merchant with a conscience.
Seeing that Xu Que wanted to get up, the cultivators stopped him. Their eyes were full of gratitude.
"Master Tang, you can't. Leave the rest to us."
"You've used up a lot of energy. You should rest."
A cultivator took out a Golden Shuttle and handed it to Xu Que. "Fellow Cultivator Tang, this is the Golden Shuttle. It can be driven by itself. You can rest on it for the rest of the journey."
Someone exclaimed, "Is this the Golden Shuttle that was auctioned for ten million spirit stones? I didn't expect it to be in your hands! "
The cultivator smiled reservedly. "Compared to Fellow Daoist Tang saving my life, this is nothing."
Xu Que wanted to decline, but when he heard this, he took the Golden Shuttle and put his palms together. "Thank you, Fellow Cultivator."
The Golden Shuttle was easy to use. One only needed to place a spirit stone at the switch, and it would float in the air and be controlled by one's soul.
The group of people walked in front while Xu Que lay on the Golden Shuttle, leisurely enjoying the scenery around him.
Strictly speaking, after leaving the spell at the entrance, the environment in the Ghost Valley wasn't that bad. It was as if all the ghosts were gathered in the spell.
As the group ventured deeper into the valley, they started to relax.
"According to the map, we just need to pass through this area to reach the entrance of the Archean Mystery Land," Murong Yunhai said excitedly as he held the map in his hand.
Hearing this, everyone became excited.
Didn't they spend so much effort to enter the Archean Mystery Land?
Now that the Archean Mystery Land was right in front of them, they couldn't help but quicken their pace.
Chen Mo followed on the right side of the group. From time to time, he would glare at Xu Que with hatred in his eyes.
Xu Que noticed this guy and laughed coldly in his heart.
I'll kill you later!
How dare you glare at the Act-Tough Saint?
Soon, they reached the end of the road. In front of them was a towering mountain. Everyone stood in front of the mountain and looked up at it. They were dumbfounded.
Is this the end?
Isn't there an entrance to the Archean Mystery Land?
Everyone turned to look at Xu Que. In their hearts, it seemed that Xu Que was the only one who could find the real entrance.
Chen Mo laughed coldly and said, "Don't even think about it. You've all been fooled. There's no entrance to this godforsaken place."
Xu Que was about to speak when he heard Chen Mo's words. After a moment of silence, he put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, when I looked at the map just now, I discovered that there is a hidden message in the map. There is indeed a way to enter."
Chen Mo almost cursed out loud.
Who are you trying to fool?
Everyone looked at the map together. How could there be information that you can't see?
However, no one paid attention to Chen Mo. Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Que. He was everyone's hope to enter the Archean Mystery Land.
Xu Que raised his head and looked at the crowd. "According to the map, a cultivator who survived the invasion of evil spirits has to kowtow 49 times here. Only then can this place open the door to the Archean Mystery Land."
As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Chen Mo.
Everyone was still thinking about who was the cultivator who had survived the attack of the evil spirits. Following Xu Que's gaze, they came to a sudden realization.
Isn't this the cultivator who survived the invasion of evil spirits?
Chen Mo gritted his teeth in anger. He couldn't even speak.
"You, you … you're taking revenge on me!"
Xu Que was shocked. "Fellow Daoist Chen, I'm a monk. I'm broad-minded. How could I take revenge?"
…
