Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2312 Locking the Star
When Jin Ge Zhenxian spoke just now, he was trying to negotiate conditions for Qu Jianlei, which seemed to make things a bit difficult for him.

However, Venerable Wenxian didn't mind; these were all insignificant conditions, and he even helped him cover up the loopholes.

Qu Jianlei certainly couldn't ask what would happen if he encountered an accident before leaving his body—that would offend the Great Venerable.

However, if Xiao Qu has this lingering concern, can she readily agree to the transfer?

In fact, Qu Jianlei didn't think that much about it. It wasn't that he was particularly confident, but rather that he had never encountered any protection along the way!

He wouldn't even consider such treatment if he hadn't experienced it before.

In short, Wenxian Zhenzun didn't think the other party was making things difficult for him—they were on the same side, so it was normal for him to think a little more.

Jin Ge Zhenxian coughed lightly, "Well... aren't three a bit too few? There are still four left."

Min Ning Zhenzun gritted his teeth secretly, his face expressionless: You have already settled two accounts, so where did the fourth come from?
“If you say that again, I’ll have to cut back,” said Wenxian Zhenzun. “Even the landlord’s family doesn’t have surplus grain; you can’t just take advantage of them like that.”

"I'll buy you without asking, but Master Quling is your good friend... Do you want him to be short one protector?"

“That’s about right,” Minning Zhenzun said, barely suppressing a laugh, “This world hasn’t been fully explored yet.”

"But I still have to hide it from the sect. It's something I've vowed to protect for the rest of my life..." Jin Ge Zhenxian muttered reluctantly.

"It's the sect that has determined that you stole from their own sect!" True Venerable Hanli always spoke so directly and hurtfully.

"You're not familiar with them, so you have nowhere to complain if you're wronged!"

"Enough," Jin Ge Zhenxian truly couldn't take it anymore. "This world is so vast, let's continue."

"We must continue!" Venerable Wenxian compressed the meteorite with the array plate and spoke with great interest, "Next, I'll help you!"

He didn't pay Han Li Zhenzun any hush money, but there was a reason why Han Li invited him to come with his team, so there was no need to say more.

It was precisely this serendipitous encounter with the innate Dao talisman that excited everyone. This world truly does have wonderful things!

However, while the opportunity for good fortune has been secured, the inauspicious situation remains, so caution is still advised.

Three days later, the five arrived at a starry sky with a star and six large planets.

There are scattered swarms of Zerg patrolling the sky, but of the six planets, only the third has a large Zerg population.

“Let’s go with this star,” Han Li Zhenzun suggested. “There don’t seem to be any Zerg around.”

“But the lower-ranking one is still more dangerous,” Venerable Minning said with a frown, “Should we choose again?”

The difference between "lower-upper-level danger" and "middle-lower-level danger" is only one level, and the danger should not be underestimated.

The appearance of the innate Dao talisman ultimately affected people's mentality. Even the Great Venerable is a human being with emotions and desires.

At least Han Li Zhenzun was somewhat moved, "Since it's an exploration, we can't just avoid taking any risks at all, can we?"

Knowing full well that the lower levels are dangerous, we're still exploring; isn't that already risky? Venerable Minning felt a little helpless.

However, he could truly understand; upon seeing that naturally formed Dao talisman, even he himself felt a little unsettled in his Dao heart!

That is to say, he was indeed of great use to Wenxian, and once he made a move, it would be a fight to the death, which is why he restrained himself.

Otherwise, do you really think the mother nest is as cheap as cabbage, and that someone would be willing to spend three to shut him up?
Thinking that his own flying locust was a "fortunate opportunity," he wished he could stomp it to death.

“Alright then,” Venerable Minning finally decided, “Let’s recover from the previous losses first.”

After forming a five-person team, there are fewer concerns when attacking. They can take turns resting and fighting, and there are more people to support them.

However, the consequence is that we don't care much about the consumption anymore.

He made this suggestion to bring everyone to their senses and prepare for a major battle.

“Absolutely,” thankfully, True Venerable Hanli did not let greed cloud his judgment. “It’s a good opportunity to observe for a few days.”

The five of them rested for ten days.

During this period, everyone also sensed the situation of the entire galaxy, and the daily divination was an essential part of the process.

However, no one bothered to divine the outcome of the battle; they all went to divine the opportunities that lay ahead—for matters of battle, it was enough to divine one more time before taking action.

It's easy to imagine that such opportunities don't come easily.

During this process, everyone also confirmed that there were about twenty Nascent Soul insectoids on that third planet.

There were actually four Nascent Soul cultivators on Planet Four, which no one noticed at first.

The main reason is that this planet is far from its star and has extremely low temperatures. There aren't many insectoids that can withstand such extreme cold, and their activity is not very noticeable.

"Alright," Han Li Zhenzun was now clearly the leader of the group of five, "Get ready, let's begin."

This is normal, though. He has high combat power and was the first to agree with Qu Jianlei to explore another world. The two actually have a good relationship.

Min Ning, who is actually on the same side, has a rather distant relationship with Xiao Qu; any friendship they have is something they built up during their adventures.

In the world of martial arts, one is often not in control of one's own destiny; some things can be chosen, while others cannot.

Everyone began to prepare silently; they were all seasoned veterans, and there was no need for idle chatter.

Not only did True Venerable Hanli issue orders, but he also took responsibility. He raised his hand to do a final calculation and nodded in satisfaction.

"Fortunately, nothing has changed; it's still a case of the bottom being more dangerous than the top!"

You call this "okay"... Qu Jianlei really feels a bit speechless.

However, fighting alongside the Great Venerables is a truly unique experience.

Battles between Nascent Soul level teams mostly take place on planets. If they are in space, they will mostly have to rely on flying boats or warships.

However, when a Great Venerable makes a move, it's often an attack targeting the entire planet, so flying boats are completely unnecessary.

It felt like a battle on almost completely different levels.

Why is he called a Celestial Venerable? This title is truly well-deserved; the difference in strength leads to a difference in perspective.

They occasionally appear on the planet, but they are always very restrained. If they go too far, the consequences will be unimaginable.

For Qu Jianlei, this feeling was really novel, but in the future... perhaps it will gradually become a daily occurrence?
The other four True Venerables had already taken their positions, with True Venerable Hanli being the first to raise his hand and form a hand seal.

Given his strength, the fact that he has to use hand seals suggests the formidable power of his attacks.

In an instant, a vast expanse of cold air filled the starry sky, covering a small part of the galaxy.

Planets three and four were both enveloped in it, and the chill was particularly intense.

Minning Zhenzun gave him a thumbs up, truly showing that experts see the details while laymen only see the spectacle.

The two had a so-so relationship in the past, with some collaborations and some minor disputes. He admitted that Han Li was very strong, but he did not think that he was much weaker.

It's simply that each has its own strengths.

Witnessing the opponent's attack now, which has such a wide range and extremely high intensity, as well as impressive micro-management, one has to admire them.

Then he began to raise his hands and form hand seals, creating a rhythmic field that enveloped the entire planet No. 4.

The rhythm instantly dispelled the chill, and the transition between advancing and retreating was almost seamless.

This demonstrates the Grandmaster's strength and micro-management skills, even though the two had hardly ever played together before.

The icy field suddenly released by True Venerable Hanli had a significant effect on Stars 3 and 4.

The insectoids on Star 4, led by four Nascent Soul cultivators, were quite resistant to the cold, but they were still frozen instantly.

The chill then dissipated, and the rhythm and confinement returned, leaving all the Zerg still in a state of helplessness.

Insects below the Nascent Soul stage are basically unaware of what has happened.

Even among the Nascent Soul insectoids, only two reacted, shouting, "Enemy attack!" "Very strong!"

Unfortunately, all they can do is make judgments; they can't even send out a distress call.

At the same time, the grand formation of True Venerable Wenxian was completed, and white mist rose from the entire planet No. 3.

This planet is where the main force of the galactic insectoids is located, so it is under double confinement.

In addition, scattered Zerg squads wandering in space were also completely frozen, reaching every corner of the planet.

Among these scattered Zerg, there was even a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Jin Ge Zhenxian transformed into golden light and directly slashed at the Nascent Soul, then cleared out the other Zerg in space.

Qu Jianlei was also taken along by Xizhao to deal with these small insects.

Clearing the perimeter is the first step in the battle; do everything possible to prevent information from leaking out in the short term.

In less than an hour, the surrounding area was completely cleared, and the two of them headed straight for Planet Four.

This is the second phase: assisting Venerable Minning in eliminating all the Zerg on Planet Four.

Of the four Nascent Soul insectoids, two were killed by Golden Spear Immortal.

The remaining two had higher cultivation levels and might know more information, so he directly imprisoned and stored them away.

Although Venerable Minning did not personally kill the enemy, he strengthened his control over the field, making the battle easier.

Therefore, the battle time on Planet Four was actually less than that of the first phase, lasting only half an hour.

Qu Jianlei went berserk this time. He swept out with his divine sense, and as soon as he found any signs of life, he would strike without considering right or wrong, cause or effect.

The opponent was not only weak, but also almost unable to move; touching him would mean certain death.

He killed with unbridled abandon, feeling that he had never been so unrestrained since he began cultivating.

Qu Jianlei even considered letting his teammates out so they could also experience this feeling—it's different to follow a big shot.

However, he held back, as the five of them had previously agreed not to send anyone else to participate.

The karma of the Out-of-Body God Lord is already terrifying, not to mention that it might alarm any potential Divine Split God Lords.

In fact, even Han Li Zhenzun did not recommend that Qu Jianlei participate in the battle.

Qu Jianlei insisted on participating in the battle—he said it was a five-person team exploration, but he was the only one avoiding the battle, so what was that?

When clearing out Star 4, True Venerable Han Li had already withdrawn the field, leaving only Star 3.

When Qu Jianlei and his two companions moved to Star 3, the insectoid race below the Golden Core stage had almost been wiped out by True Venerable Wenxian.

More than twenty Nascent Soul insectoids were tightly bound by the field and the great formation, but none of them were killed.

The two True Venerables intended to read through all the memories of these Nascent Soul cultivators to avoid missing anything.

Upon seeing the three arrive, True Venerable Wenxian began adjusting the grand formation, while the other four descended directly onto the planet.
