Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2313 Temple
Wenxian's attack on Star 3 was very measured; the planet's surface was in a mess, but its terrain and landforms remained largely undamaged.

This not only requires extremely strong micro-management skills, but also consumes a lot of energy and spirit.

He wasn't doing this for environmental reasons, but rather to analyze more information about the Zerg.

Once a planet is destroyed, it will be much more difficult to trace back and find information later.

Moreover, the more traces left behind, the more difficult it is to erase them, making it easier for the Zerg to find more clues.

It was precisely because of his caution that most of the temples on the planet were preserved intact!
One of the temples is quite large, covering an area of ​​over one square kilometer, while the surrounding plaza occupies about ten square kilometers.

Its appearance looks a bit like the Bird's Nest—the one from Shenzhou.

Within this massive temple, there was a clear cause and effect of the astral projection. True Venerable Wenxian simply threw out an array plate to lock this place.

The other temples are mostly for Nascent Soul level beings, so there's no need to worry too much about them.

Next, they would read the memories of the Nascent Soul insectoids, and True Venerable Hanli made the first move.

In fact, in this battle, besides Qu Jianlei who had a relatively high rate of consumption, he was the second most consumed.

The field that enveloped half a galaxy and imprisoned two planets for a considerable period of time left even the Venerable Minning in awe.

However, he disregarded his own physical exertion and insisted on reading the memories, which suggests that his state of mind was not very peaceful.

As for the reason, those who know, know.

Fortunately, he remained somewhat cautious and did not choose the highest-level Nascent Soul cultivator, but instead chose one who was neither high nor low.

Before he could even speak after the reading was completed, slight ripples appeared around the Bird's Nest Temple.

The fluctuations were extremely slight and were blocked by Wenxian's array plate, but they were still sensed by the five people.

"There really is some connection," Jin Ge Zhenxian muttered softly.

However, he didn't even care about this kind of sensation, so it naturally wouldn't affect the three Great Venerables.

Han Li Zhenzun then stated that there was nothing special about this Nascent Soul's memories, and everyone should continue.

Although they were called "everyone," only three Immortal Venerables actually attempted to read his memories; even the Golden Spear True Immortal was refused.

This is not the time to be stubborn; these two can only admit that they are relatively weak.

More than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators had their memories read in turn, and new information was quickly obtained.

When True Venerable Wenxian made his move, he chose the strongest Nascent Soul cultivator and actually obtained the approximate location of the Tapir Clan.

However, this Nascent Soul should be the one most favored by the Out-of-Body God Lord, as the fluctuations in the Out-of-Body God Temple are significantly greater.

Wenxian was pleased to receive this news; at least he had chosen the toughest challenge, so people shouldn't be too envious.

However, in the end, a small accident still occurred: a clearly old Nascent Soul dragonfly caused an even stronger tremor.

The one who made the move was Min Ning. After reading his memories, he gave the answer: "This... is actually a temple keeper!"

"It's just a ritual," True Venerable Wenxian said, still hovering in the air, sensing the great array. "The incense offerings here... are so-so!"

Next, the next step began. Golden Immortal Zhenxian spoke, "Destroy the two Nascent Soul Temples?"

"Then you'd better be careful!" No one tried to dissuade him, only True Venerable Han Li gave him a warning.

After the Nascent Soul Temple was destroyed, there was indeed another shock, even greater than the reaction of the Soul-Searching Insect Clan's temple priest.

Jin Ge Zhenxian did not destroy all the temples; he destroyed one more and then stopped.

The main reason was that the group of five wanted to keep a low profile and didn't want other Zerg to easily discover that cultivators had once been there.

"So now... it's time to deal with this Out-of-Body Temple?"

"Wait a moment," Qu Jianlei spoke up, "Should we take back this spirit stone mine?"

This is also one of the reasons why True Venerable Wenxian controlled the intensity of his attacks; there are more than ten spirit stone veins on this planet.

Three of them can produce high-grade spirit stones, and one of them has an extremely high proportion of high-grade spirit stones.

"Keep it; we can't let the alien races benefit from it," True Venerable Hanli said without hesitation. "The Mo race also has ways to mine mineral veins."

How could a race that can struggle so hard against the Zerg's attacks possibly lack combat power?

Minning Zhenzun nodded upon hearing this, "A damaged mine is better than none... It's good to make it seem ambiguous."

He wouldn't mind trading it back if others didn't want it, since it was a spirit stone mine that the dojo was short of.

The only concern is whether the Zerg will discover our background if we relocate the mineral veins.

The law of cause and effect can be quite mysterious at times.

"I'll handle the mining," said True Venerable Wenxian, unusually enthusiastic. "I have a special formation for it."

“Damn,” Minning Zhenzun couldn’t help but glance at him, “This kind of forbidden formation… indeed, the rules are made for ordinary people.”

"I didn't use it in the Realm of Virtue," Venerable Wenxian replied nonchalantly. "What's the difference between good and evil in formations? If you use them for good, they will be good!"

“Array formations are still useful,” True Venerable Hanli couldn’t help but sigh softly. “You even said that all the arts of immortal cultivation are useless.”

"How could it be completely useless?" Venerable Wenxian replied casually. "At the very least, it saves trouble, doesn't it?"

"Then let's use force to collect it. We need to hurry," Han Li Zhenzun said. "Does anyone have any objections?"

No one voiced any objection; this was a spirit stone mine, who wouldn't want it?

Such brutal methods of plunder are strictly prohibited in the Houde Realm.

No matter how powerful the artificial modification, it's hard to match the original—the removal of the spirit stone vein will definitely affect the quality.

The Great One might occasionally act unreasonably, using a pretext to seize one or two mineral veins, but if he does it too often, someone will come to reason with him.

Min Ning Zhenzun raised an eyebrow slightly, "There are also more than ten spirit stone veins on Planet Four!"

At first, everyone thought that the Zerg stationed on Planet Four were naturally resistant to cold.

After conquering this planet, we realized that while cold resistance did play a part, the most crucial factor was: there were spirit stone mines here!
"Alright, I'll speed things up," Wenxian Zhenzun was incredibly easy to talk to at this moment.

A day later, all the veins were extracted and sealed off.

Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh inwardly: The Great Venerable's actions are truly unrestrained.

A single thought can bring life, a single thought can lead to death, a single thought can cause spiritual energy to wither away...

Having transcended the masses and witnessed the vicissitudes of life, how could one's mindset be the same as that of an ordinary person?
Isn't it said that the higher you climb, the colder it gets? Even if they don't sever ties of emotion and sex, they won't find any kindred spirits among ordinary people.

These mineral veins are quite valuable, but after discussing it, the group of five decided to make them public assets.

In the future, if some indivisible spoils or opportunities arise, these public proceeds will be used to "make change".

The most valuable resources cannot be converted into ordinary wealth; these precious mineral veins, large and small, are used to make change.

“Then only this temple remains,” Jin Ge Zhenxian said, looking at the temple ahead.

Han Li Zhenzun calculated again, "Hmm, not bad, it's still an ominous sign from below. Let's go in and take a look."

So, this is still pretty good? Qu Jianlei shook his head and said decisively, "I'm not joining in the fun."

He wouldn't be afraid to fight when it was time to fight, but in this situation, there was no need for him to force himself to fight.

Once inside, he would be facing the aura of a Nascent Soul God, and he didn't think he had that kind of strength.

As a cultivator, understanding one's own role is extremely important.

At the very least, True Venerable Han Li glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Not bad... Take care of yourself."

Jin Ge Zhenxian hesitated for a moment, but still followed. "I don't believe my luck is this bad. I feel there's an opportunity ahead!"

The four entered the temple, crossed the courtyard, and arrived at the main hall. In the center of the hall, there was a huge hornet!

“This aura…” True Venerable Han Li frowned and looked at the others, “What do you feel?”

“A wisp of incense, the aura is too weak,” Venerable Wenxian said in a deep voice, “but I have a feeling that it’s not easy to mess with.”

“That is…” Minning Zhenzun looked at the base of the wasp, where there was a blood-red pool.

The other three had also noticed, but no one paid any attention; blood pools and the like were merely for sacrificial purposes.

Regardless of the temple, sacrifices and offerings are essential. Even the ritual objects of the human race place great importance on sacrifices!

However, Venerable Minning pointed and said, "There's a black dot inside!"

"This is my destiny!" Jin Ge Zhenxian exclaimed excitedly, "Don't try to take it from me!"

"You..." Han Li Zhenzun glanced at him speechlessly, "Did you perform a divination?"

The Venerable Minning's focus was different from everyone else's, and he instantly noticed something unusual.

However, as soon as he reminded them, the other three Grand Venerables reacted just as quickly, almost at the last second.

In this situation, Minning has priority; if she's even a little short, then it's just a little bit.

This is the rule of the exploration team. Why do we show our strength while trying to conserve it as much as possible?
Being a little stronger is still being strong, but Min Ning is really only a tiny bit stronger.

"Divination..." This question stumped Jin Ge Zhenxian, and he really didn't attempt to perform divination.

He did sense a glimmer of opportunity, but True Venerable Han Li's attacks were always "vicious from below," and if he made a move, he might directly suffer a backlash.

If he only has one chance and has no other choice, he will risk taking the plunge and using the divination method.

However, the world of the Tree Clan is so vast that while opportunities may not be everywhere, this one time is certainly not the only chance.

At this moment, all four True Venerables sensed that what was soaking in the blood pool was an ancient spearhead.

Anyone who pays attention will know that this is definitely not a product of the Zerg world.

There was a very noticeable fluctuation of energy within the blood pool. Although it wasn't very strong, it had a rather sinister aura.

It feels like... it's highly corrosive?
This spearhead, which has been soaked for who knows how long, is still quite intact.

That black dot was merely the tip of a spear, faintly visible on the surface of the pool, yet it was spotted by Venerable Minning at a glance.

But Jin Ge Zhenxian was also quite indignant, "I was just the last one to come in, how could this be?"
