Xu Que was speechless for a moment, not because he was surprised by the existence of the Demon God.
He was surprised that there were human cultivators who could resist the existence of the Demon God.
In other words, in the current Celestial Cloud Continent, there were actually nine Celestial Emperors and even Tao Masters!
Thinking about the future, four Celestial Emperors could dominate the Celestial Cloud Continent, but 10,000 years ago, these Celestial Emperors were like wholesale. Xu Que could not help but feel a little emotional.
Damn, according to Darwin's theory of evolution, shouldn't humans evolve?
Why did the human cultivators become so f * cking weak after ten thousand years!
On second thought, Darwin was talking about science, and there was no science in the world of Immortal Cultivation.
"Why don't you choose to move away from this place?" Xu Que suggested.
Anyway, to interfere with the destiny of the Eternal race, the simplest way was to let them leave this place.
As long as they left this place, even if the Demon King came, there would be nothing he could do. He did not believe that the human cultivators were useless and would let people wreak havoc in the rear of the battle line without being aware of it.
If it didn't work, the Heaven Continent below the Celestial Cloud Continent should still be intact, and they could go directly to the Heaven Continent.
The strength of the Eternal race was not weak, at least in the Heaven Continent, but the Spirit Qi there was a little barren.
However, to Xu Que's surprise, Shui Ruyi shook her head and looked hesitant. "We … can't leave."
"In the face of life and death, don't think about things like hometown." Xu Que thought that she was reluctant to leave this forest, so she didn't want to leave.
However, Shui Ruyi waved her hand and said, "That's not the reason … It's because we can't leave."
"Can't leave?" Xu Que suddenly understood. "Can you only live here?"
Shui Ruyi nodded and motioned for Xu Que to follow her.
The two of them passed through the forest and came to a place that Xu Que had never been to before.
The surrounding forest was far denser than other places, and the top of their heads was full of dense branches and leaves. Only faint light shone through the gaps.
"What do you want This Penniless Monk to see?" Xu Que looked around. There was nothing in front of him other than a mountain wall.
Shui Ruyi revealed an expression that was difficult to describe with words. She pointed at the mountain wall and said, "It's here. This is the thing that I wanted to show the grandmaster."
Fang Ling was stunned. "What's so nice about the cliff?"
"This isn't a cliff." Shui Ruyi's next words shocked Xu Que. "This is our Eternal Ancestor."
Eternal Ancestor?
"Haha, aren't your true forms vines? Xiaodong has already told This Penniless Monk …" Halfway through his sentence, Xu Que suddenly paused.
He suddenly realized something extremely horrifying.
There was no reason for Shui Ruyi to lie to him. In other words … this mountain wall was actually a freaking vine?
Whoosh!
He took a few steps back, then suddenly soared into the air, breaking through the branches and leaves, and arrived in midair.
In front of him was an extremely shocking scene.
A vine with almost no end in sight stood before him. It was so tall that it seemed to connect heaven and earth. One would have to look extremely far in order to see the edge of the vine.
As for the higher ground, it was impossible to see where the vine had grown to. The very top of the vine had already been submerged in the clouds.
"Holy shit …" Xu Que was so shocked that he immediately cursed. "Is this even a goddamn vine?"
The mountain wall he had seen just now was only a part of this vine!
If he had to make an analogy, the only thing that could compare to this vine was the Buddha image of the Myriad Demon Subduing Formation he had unleashed at full force.
But that was just an illusory image with no destructive power at all. The real thing that sealed the fiends was the Myriad Demon Subduing Formation he had obtained for free from the system. At best, he had used a great divine ability as a primer.
The vine before him, on the other hand, seemed to connect heaven and earth. Xu Que would even believe it if someone were to say that it was a heaven-supporting pillar.
"With such a powerful ancestor, do you really think you can't defeat the fiends?" Xu Que asked after landing.
Shui Ruyi's eyes were filled with sorrow. "Actually … the ancestor is about to die."
Stop joking. The Eternal Ancestor is already so big, yet you're telling me he's about to die?
Xu Que didn't find this joke very funny.
Upon closer inspection, however, he discovered that the vine was filled with an intense aura of death, almost like an old man on the verge of death.
Shui Ruyi told him that the Eternal Ancestor's body was too big, and moving it would consume a lot of energy. He would probably die very soon if he were to do so.
The Aeonians could only survive under the Eternal Ancestor's protection. Without him, they would die very quickly even if they moved.
"This doesn't make sense!" Xu Que simply couldn't understand the Luo family. "Moreover, this poor monk has never seen such an existence before!"
When he was outside the forest, he could only see the blue sky and white clouds, not to mention the vine.
Shui Ruyi explained that the Eternal Ancestor's existence could only be seen in this part of the forest. He couldn't be seen anywhere else.
After that, the two of them left the forest. Xu Que paid special attention.
Sure enough, the Eternal Ancestor disappeared without a trace after they left the forest.
"System, can you tell what's going on with the Eternal Ancestor?"
"Ding. The Eternal Ancestor is a high-level being that exists in the crevice between the fourth and fifth dimensions. Therefore, it can only be seen in certain areas. It's currently at the end of its life, and without a replacement core, it will naturally die of old age."
Upon hearing this theory, Xu Que could only think of the word "high-level" in his heart.
This kind of being was practically on par with the gods.
"Alright, it seems I'll have to help you settle things." Xu Que spread his hands. He'd wanted to settle things easily, but it seemed like he'd have to spend a lot of effort.
And so, in the following period of time, Xu Que frantically moved things out of the system. Anything high-level was moved out.
It didn't cost money anyway, so he used whatever he could.
In the end, even the system couldn't take it anymore. It reminded Xu Que to act within his means.
Xu Que didn't take it seriously at all. He just moved it out and let the system modify it. After all, it was just a small modification fee.
Then, five days passed. The entire forest had completely changed.
This time, Xu Que didn't disguise himself. Countless steel fortresses stood in the forest, like a huge military factory.
"Hey, System, you have to work hard. That's a Celestial Emperor we're talking about." Xu Que patted the newly modified Gatling gun next to him. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to act tough in front of him."
The more powerful the target was, the more Acting Tough Points he'd get.
Xu Que even began to look forward to seeing more Celestial Emperors. It didn't matter how powerful they were, just the number.
