Chapter 1252: Chapter 1257: Requiescence

Wuyu Venerable’s soul was stirred, and he wanted to rush forward to stop her, but he was intimidated by Venerate Wutong’s power.

He could only plead, "Please, Senior, spare us!"

"The catastrophe of Great Wilderness State is imminent. How can it withstand such a drastic decline in fortune?"

Red Dust Venerable was also frightened by Venerate Wutong’s act of absorbing the state’s fortune.

At this moment, taking the fortune from Great Wilderness State?

Isn’t this trapping Great Wilderness State in hell?

With the assistance of mysterious Ancient Sky Pits, the Ancient Giants make the Great Wilderness State face a perilous fate.

The only way for survival is preserving the fortune of Great Wilderness State.

Thus, Spiritual Energy is abundant, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects thrive, resources for alchemy, artifact refining, talisman crafting, and array setting are plentiful.

With this, they could have a chance to contend with the Ancient Giants.

But if Venerate Wutong takes away the fortune of Great Wilderness State, what would be the consequences, Taicang State has already demonstrated to the world.

Spiritual Energy depletion, resource scarcity, difficult breakthroughs.

The sole path for survival in Great Wilderness State would be obliterated,

She pleaded, "Senior, please leave us a way out."

The other four Venerables’ faces also changed drastically, and they all spoke out to stop her.

Venerate Wutong turned a deaf ear.

Completely ignoring their pleas, she lifted her small hand and fiercely grasped towards the sky.

Suddenly.

An invisible force was drawn from everyone’s body present.

It’s hard to say what it exactly was.

But all six Venerables felt subtle changes in their bodies.

Red Dust Venerable suddenly touched the corner of her eye, and a faint crow’s foot appeared on her well-maintained face.

Wuyu Venerable took out a mirror, looking at the Divine Ring on the back of his head, and two Flame Seals had somewhat dispersed.

Signs appeared more or less on the bodies of the other four Venerables.

Ominous signs!

These were the consequences of losing fortune from their bodies!

The fortune Venerate Wutong extracted was not merely the unowned fortune of Great Wilderness State.

The fortune from every living being would be partially taken by her.

Wuyu Venerable’s gaze flashed with horror, he said in a deep voice, "Senior!"

"Why do you plunge us into dire straits for your own selfish reasons?"

Red Dust Venerable also resented, "You flee to an Arcadia paradise for refuge, unwilling to help fight the Ancient Giants, I won’t stop you."

"But why must you harm us?"

The four Venerables were also infuriated by Venerate Wutong’s stubborn actions.

Yet, Venerate Wutong continued to treat them as if they were air.

Kept extracting more distant fortune.

Seeing this, Wuyu Venerable gritted his teeth slightly, his eyes shot out a fierce look, and said,

"Five fellow Daoists, proceed with the planned action!"

These six Venerables had secretly communicated on the way here.

This time meeting Venerate Wutong, they prepared for both outcomes.

If Jiang Fan’s plea works, letting them leave the Forbidden Land, that would be best.

If not, they must find a way to seek hope themselves!

And the method, there is only one, which is a joint strike by all six!

Two in Heavenly Human Second Declines, four in Heavenly Person Decline.

The power of the joint strike may not be as strong as Venerate Wutong’s and could hardly cause harm to her.

But at this critical moment of her entering sagehood,

Their joint strike would be sufficient to scatter fortune, perhaps even harm Venerate Wutong, preventing her from entering sagehood.

Red Dust Venerable bit her silver teeth and shouted, "Act now!"

The consequence of the action could very likely be death.

Not acting, leaving Venerate Wutong unchecked, would also lead to death.

It was better to fight now.

The eyes of each of the six Venerables flashed fiercely, and they all struck.

Their respective domains overlapped and intertwined, forming a dazzling, colorful light spot, emitting an unparalleled pressure that could make half of Great Wilderness State tremble.

The nearby Mysterious Demon Liquid dispersed.

The boundless Forbidden Land was stirred.

The air was filled with a suffocating sense of extinction.

Seeing that they were about to unleash this terrible domain, Jiang Fan raised his hand to stop them.

His deep eyes stared at Venerate Wutong, he sighed softly, "No need to act."

"She won’t succeed."

Hm?

The six Venerables looked at Jiang Fan in slight confusion and doubt.

How could Jiang Fan know?

Yet as soon as his words fell, the fortune lost from their bodies returned to them.

The Heaven and Earth’s fortune gathering here suddenly halted and began returning to its original place.

Venerate Wutong alone closed her eyes, fingers grabbing the sky, maintaining the posture of absorbing fortune.

Standing still.

Jiang Fan gently lowered Venerate Wutong’s raised small hand, revealing a sad expression in his eyes.

"Senior, it’s regrettable."

"Senior Lu Jiulin asked me to tell you... He cannot fulfill the promise."

"Rest in peace."

Venerate Wutong seemed to lose some strong support.

Two lines of tears streamed down her closed eyes.

Her black hair, visible to the naked eye, turned white, still braided into two strands, lightly dancing with the wind.

Her fair and delicate face rapidly became a grayish-brown, age spots emerged like mushrooms after the rain.

It was like an invisible blade carved wrinkles on her forehead, face, lips, and neck.

In the blink of an eye.

The dazzling, charming maiden turned into a decrepit white-haired elder.

She ceased breathing, standing beneath the Silver Apricot Tree, eyes closed, staring into the distance.

No movement at all.

The entire scene fell silent; the sudden change caught everyone by surprise.

After a long time, Red Dust Venerable stammered, "What is going on?"

Jiang Fan gazed at the old Venerate Wutong, said, "This, is her true form before her death."

"Time did not spare her after all."

Before her death?

Red Dust Venerable felt as if struck by lightning: "You say Venerate Wutong she..."

Wuyu Venerable and the other four Venerables equally felt as if the sky had fallen!

The Great Wilderness State’s strongest, Venerate Wutong, was actually already dead?

Jiang Fan slightly nodded, his voice hoarse:

"How could Venerate Wutong mistake the one she waited for all her life?"

Everyone’s heart was hit hard.

Indeed.

Waiting five hundred years for Senior Brother Lu, how could she mistake Jiang Fan for him?

Unless, the one before them was no longer Venerate Wutong.

Red Dust Venerable’s charming eyes welled up with a thin mist and her heart felt an inexplicable melancholy:

"Yes, she always said she waited five hundred years, five hundred years."

"But she had already been here for a full thousand years."

"She had long been ensnared in the Giant Emperor’s sleeping curse five hundred years ago, never waking again."

"She ultimately did not wait for that person..."

Wuyu Venerable’s eyes flickered, his harsh voice uncharacteristically soft.

"So, what are we witnessing?"

Venerable Lianjing, who had not spoken, glanced past the aging, lifeless Venerate Wutong.

Looked at the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree.

He sighed gently, "It was Venerate Wutong’s vision before she passed."

"This thousand-year-old ginkgo tree developed Spiritual Wisdom, secretly fulfilling Venerate Wutong’s wish."

"Allowing her to rest entirely in peace."

Everyone simultaneously gazed at the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree.

A giant shock surged in their hearts!

So, for five hundred years, the true Forbidden Land Master was this thousand-year-old ginkgo tree?

Everything was under its control?
