Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2302 The Tree Clan World
Upon hearing this, Jin Ge Zhenxian calmly replied, "Anyway, I don't think it's dangerous. If you absolutely must call those two over, I'll reduce your share!"

Who do you think you're underestimating? A minor misfortune and a major blessing, but the dangers within... do you really think I've wasted my tens of thousands of years of life?

But I also think that if it's dangerous, wouldn't my share also have to decrease?
Hmph, you all think I'm not shrewd enough? That's because you two are shrewd but haven't used your shrewdness in the right place.

Minning Zhenzun hadn't expected this guy to have such a scheme, but reducing his share was clearly unacceptable.

Your cultivation is still a step behind mine. If you're not afraid of death, why should I be?

So he looked at Qu Jianlei and said, "Then let's go and leave if things don't look good. What do you think, young friend Qu?"

He hadn't previously acknowledged Xiao Qu's combat prowess, but now that he'd asked this question, his opinion was clearly different.

Qu Jianlei blinked. A mixed bag of bad luck and good fortune... it was really giving him a headache. "I'll go discuss it with my teammates."

Seeing him disappear, Jin Ge Zhenxian muttered to himself, "Looking for teammates... he should have gone to ask a senior for advice, right?"

Minning Zhenzun glanced at him, "Isn't that better?"

Qu Jianlei really did go and discuss it with his teammates; he was responsible for the safety of his team members.

However, he himself did not realize that since he had decided to consult with someone, he was slightly inclined to take a risk.

Otherwise, he could simply reject it on the grounds of safety—that's non-negotiable!
Just because Boss Qu didn't realize it doesn't mean the other members didn't.

The shrewd Dogan was the first to speak up, "The Great Venerable desires an opportunity, and we also lack such an opportunity. This is something that cannot be waited for!"

For her age, that's absolutely true. If she doesn't try her best, who would give her the chance to leave her body for free?

Mu Guang nodded slightly, "Cultivation requires too many resources. I have lived in the empire for over a hundred years... and I have felt this deeply."

He had indulged in a life of pleasure and debauchery for many years, yet even the former tomb raider was, at heart, inclined towards adventure.

Jing Yuexin was relatively cautious, but she also guessed what her boss was thinking.

"We've prepared for this trip for so long, we can't just come for nothing. At worst, we'll be cautious... If we can't win, we can at least run away, right?"

Bentley's attitude was simple: "I'll listen to the boss, but... the team does need resources."

Therefore, when Qu Jianlei saw the two Grand Venerables again, he simply nodded slightly and said, "Let's go."

The tree-like structure used to conceal the folded spaces of the passageway creates an almost non-existent sense of spatial anomaly.

The reason is simple: it was just a cover-up for the sake of cover-up, and had no other purpose. No wonder the two immortal venerables ignored it.

After entering the passage, facing the chaotic energy, Qu Jianlei still released two division-level ships, one in front and one behind.

The two immortal venerables did not refuse his arrangement and both gathered on the second division-class ship.

The Great Venerable One can tear through space and travel, but what we are facing now is an unknown other world.

While ordinary warships have many inconveniences, they at least save on their own consumption, and at this time, every little bit saved counts.

Moreover, communication between the warships is relatively convenient, with the division-class ships at the front serving as demarcation points for the fleet.

Although Qu Jianlei was mocked as a "few" true immortal, he still brought out his trump card when faced with this situation.

There's no way around it; the "medium misfortune, minor good fortune" omen is just too frightening, and we have to take precautions.

After entering the passage, the energy fluctuations did not seem particularly large, and the data showed that the battalion-class ship could withstand it.

However, Qu Jianlei dared not let his guard down and showed no intention of replacing the warship.

As before, the three of them took turns performing divination once a day, calculating the safety of the division-class ships at the front.

The warships traveled for three days, but still hadn't emerged from the passage.

After finishing his divination that day, Jin Ge Zhenxian felt a bit frustrated. "Why is it that no Tree Clan members are passing by right now?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qu Jianlei was really startled and completely forgot about respecting his elders. "How can you say such things?"

Minning Zhenzun spoke calmly, "If you're looking for death, don't drag us down with you."

Fortunately, Jin Ge's constitution wasn't so unlucky. Three days later, according to his divination, the division-class ship ahead would encounter danger!

"Here it comes," Qu Jianlei said, bringing the division-class ship in front of him to a stop and putting it away, then putting away the ship beneath his feet as well.

Minning Zhenzun stood firmly amidst the chaotic energy, and raised his hand to calculate, "Hmm, no problem."

The next moment, he enveloped the two of them and tore open the passageway, disappearing into the distance.

Ten minutes later, the three of them left the sub-layer space and were greeted by yet another world.

A few seconds later, Jin Ge Zhenxian let out a soft exclamation, "Little Qu, it's a bit like the world from before."

He meant that there are also various stars, planets, nebulae, comets, and so on here.

Most of the cultivation world exists primarily in the form of segments.

Before Qu Jianlei could speak, Minning Zhenzun raised his hand again to perform a divination.

Then he let out a soft breath and said calmly, "It's not the World of Absolute Spirits!"

For cultivators, the presence or absence of spiritual energy is the most important indicator. If there is no spiritual energy, what does the formation of the tectonic plates matter?

The presence of spiritual energy is a great thing. For the two True Venerables, it would be almost impossible for them to have any opportunities in a world without spiritual energy!

"The location of the passage..." Qu Jianlei sensed it and found that it was not very far away.

Just hundreds of millions of kilometers behind him, there was a sizable cluster of stars.

“Go back and see what dangers are,” Jin Ge Zhenxian suggested. “Let’s secure our escape route first.”

Actually, there wasn't much danger; it was just that there were seventy or eighty thousand tree-like creatures guarding the entrance to the passage.

There are no mother trees in this alien forest, but there are four or five Nascent Soul trees, which shows that the tree race is not too worried about the passage being invaded.

However, Qu Jianlei still noticed something unusual: "With this ratio, the Nascent Soul level is a bit low."

Among the alien races discovered by the Alliance, almost every single forest contained at least one Nascent Soul cultivator, and sometimes even more.

The ratio of the total number of Tree Clan members to Nascent Soul cultivators is only a few thousand to one, and it's impossible for it to reach ten thousand.

“That’s normal,” Venerable Minning replied without hesitation. “When conquering another world, the elite are naturally the ones deployed.”

Not to mention the tree race, cultivators are the same.

"That's a bit strange," Qu Jianlei wondered, "the elite troops have all gone to invade, how could they pose a danger to us?"

“That’s true,” Jin Ge Zhenxian frowned, “It’s probably some unknown danger… Should the three of us still go together?”

The world is so big and so unfamiliar; putting people together would affect the efficiency of exploration.

Moreover, how to allocate resources when opportunities arise is also a problem.

The team currently agrees to allocate resources as needed, which aligns with the rules of exploration. But what if they encounter a resource that everyone wants?
"I don't care," Qu Jianlei said indifferently. He had the worst cultivation level and didn't want others to think he was holding them back.

Once they part ways, he will definitely make sure to secure his future before cautiously exploring new avenues.

Minning Zhenzun snorted lightly, "Jin Ge, do you think you can handle things on your own once you encounter the Nascent Soul Mother Tree?"

Jin Ge Zhenxian was speechless. The mother tree that had left his body was easy to deal with, but there would be huge guards around the mother tree!
Min Ning's attitude was also very clear: he hoped that the three of them could stick together for warmth.

Although this exploration method is slower, the safety is greatly improved because there are people working together.

As for taking turns to perform divination and rest, that requires multiple people to complete.

In fact, Minning Zhenzun still had subordinates, while Jin Ge Zhenxian was a complete loner.

I wonder if Min Ning is worried that if these two cooperate, they will leave her out.

However, this possibility does exist, since the two not only have a good relationship, but also have different levels of opportunities for their needs.

However, Jin Ge Zhenxian clearly hadn't thought that far ahead. Upon hearing this, he was taken aback at first, and then said, "Then let's go together, Xiao Qu?"

Qu Jianlei smiled upon hearing this, "I just hope that you two Venerable Ones don't see me as a burden."

"What kind of talk is this?" Venerable Minning first snorted, then said, "Then... let's deal with the escape route first?"

Sure enough, as cultivators, their perspectives on problems are quite similar.

The escape route was easy to solve, and the three of them didn't touch the tree-folk guarding the passage; they simply explored the surrounding area.

Just in case, Qu Jianlei also set up three hidden transmission arrays in the surrounding area.

After setting it up, he also asked Venerable Minning to help him erase some of his aura.

In this way, even if there is a Mother Tree in the Tree Clan that can perform divination, it would be very difficult for her to discover it.

Anyway, going on an adventure with the Great One is not only about maintaining respect, but also about having many conveniences.

However, in fact, Min Ning also had a high opinion of him, saying, "With Wen Xian not around, your teleportation array is really convenient."

Even the Great Venerable is not omnipotent. True Venerable Wenxian is skilled in formations, but Minning is actually a little lacking.

Often, he didn't think he needed it, which is why he didn't focus on figuring it out.

However, there is no doubt that this is a good fallback option in the event of an emergency.

Having resolved their escape route, the three began to wander around this world, sensing opportunities in various places by roaming the subspace.

After traveling for less than a day, they discovered the existence of the Out-of-Body Mother Tree on a planet.

However, no one reacted; they simply made a note of it and continued on their way.

It's not that we can't eliminate them, but finding an opportunity is more important. We can deal with these things later.

Then they discovered the second Mother Tree that could manifest from the body, the third...

On the sixth day, the Venerable Minning divined a dangerous place, which was a dazzling nebula.

The three of them had a very bad experience there; Qu Jianlei even felt that disaster was about to befall them.

However, at the same time, Min Ning said with a strange expression, "There are also opportunities, and... there is more than one mother tree that has left the body!"

"The mother trees are also vying for opportunities?" Qu Jianlei asked in astonishment. "What are they trying to do? Do they want to distract us?"

If you don't want to be distracted, you've already left your body; what else is there to hold onto?
“I don’t know,” Venerable Minning shook his head. “We’ll only know if we go and see for ourselves.”

"Don't go," Jin Ge Zhenxian, who was usually fearless, was much more cautious this time.

"It's not worth betting on bad luck with a small bet... Anyway, the world is big enough, let's go and sense other opportunities first."
