Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2343 Trigger
Grand Venerable Ratan saw the demeanor of True Immortal Golden Spear and also looked at True Venerable Cold Dawn.

It knew very well that this person was the leader of the five, and its eyes were full of hope. "If I have any new information..."

"Then tell it," True Venerable Hanli pointed at Great Venerable Rajan and said impatiently, "Don't ask me!"

Who are you to dare to covet my karma?
Grandmaster Raru, who had initially been eager to try, fell silent upon seeing this.

The next moment, the five people tore through space and left.

The three Star Tapirs looked at each other—they really left decisively.

After a while, Laru muttered, "If the opportunity we saw counts, then what about that even bigger insect hive..."

The two sides had previously visited that place, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement. The cultivator felt the opportunity was too slim and therefore the deal was off.

“Let’s just take it,” Ratan sighed helplessly. “Although it’s more useful to the tapirs, it still needs a bit of luck from them.”

Rajan and Laruzzi remained silent; this feeling was truly unbearable.

The things that were more useful to you were taken away by someone else "reluctantly".

This is an opportunity!

Even a seemingly harmonious group of five cultivators harbors various thoughts, which gives you an idea of ​​their true importance!

For the tapir tribe, who believe that not taking advantage is equivalent to losing out, it's no exaggeration to say that this is heartbreaking.

However, what the Star Eaters didn't expect was that the five-person exploration team didn't go to the insect hive, but to a star system they had never been to before.

This is the lair of the mantis that emerged from its body, and also the place where Qu Jianlei and his group claimed they would not consider destroying the statue of the deity.

However, the cultivators said that at the time only because they didn't want the tapirs to figure out their style of doing things, so that they wouldn't be manipulated by them in the future.

The truth is, how could a cultivator who seeks enlightenment not understand the principle that "wildfire cannot burn it all, and the spring breeze will bring it back to life"?

Finding the planet from which the Mantis originated is not too difficult.

At the time, True Venerable Wenxian had several Zerg prisoners in his possession, but they were not all detonated. He could simply use the scent of incense to perform a divination.

However, Qu Jianlei and his team did not expect that the journey of "cutting off the weeds at the root" would take quite some time.

Destroying the temple is not difficult; the difficulty lies in the fact that this mantis has already occupied three star systems, and the previous battles were about conquering the fourth star system!

Of the three star systems, only it has transcended its physical form, yet it still desires to conquer a fourth. The pursuit of resources by those seeking to become gods through incense offerings is truly endless.

The five-person exploration team swept through three star systems before finally eliminating the threat completely.

When the last statue of the deity was destroyed, a faint plea for mercy even emanated from the incense smoke.

Who says the Zerg are fearless? They're just not driven to the brink of death.

This praying mantis is quite arrogant, so it's understandable that it's reluctant to die.

Compared to it, the dragonfly and the katydid are far inferior, not even making it into a galaxy.

The star cluster that everyone attacked before had decent spiritual energy and occupied a lot of space, but it just didn't feel quite right.

It's already a bit unreasonable for two Zerg to have their hatches in the same place, not to mention that both only have hives and no temples.

There's definitely something to it, but nobody's interested in going back and investigating it again.

There's nothing new under the sun. People's joys and sorrows are all different, and so are insects...
More than a month had passed since the three star systems were cleared.

After resting for another half month, the five of them finally went to attack the previous insect hive.

Although they had previously confirmed that they would not fight, well... the Tapir clan still owed them an opportunity.

Instead of searching the world, it's better to gather the resources at hand and collect what you can first.

Cultivators value commitments, but they are not rigid or dogmatic; they simply seek to achieve clarity of thought.

However, this battle to destroy the insect nest lasted for more than twenty days.

Because the battle unfolded gradually, everyone deployed their subordinate cultivators at the very beginning.

This is the first time since the exploration team entered the Tree Clan's world that they have allowed lower-level cultivators to launch the attack first.

In fact, this kind of combat method is the correct way to conquer another world!

Previously, it was always the Nascent Soul Grandmasters who took the lead, sometimes more than one Grandmaster, all in order to compete for the opportunity.

Many opportunities are fleeting and highly uncertain, and may even alarm the alien races that have left the body. It is safest for the Immortal Venerable to take action.

However, when cultivators launch a major conquest of this world in the future, the Nascent Soul stage will inevitably be the leader, with the Golden Core stage as the main force.

As for the Great Venerable of the Soul Essence... he's at most just there to keep things under control!
For cultivators, conquering other worlds is essentially a trial most of the time.

It might be a bit riskier, but the potential returns are much higher!

The five thought that since they hadn't had enough time to train their team after arriving here, they might as well... give them some training.

Such training will have numerous benefits for the large-scale development of this world in the future!
Even answering questions and providing tactical guidance to other expedition teams can earn them a good living.

Of course, more importantly, those three disgusting things finally disappeared.

Everyone is welcome to bring out any tactical drill ideas they have and try them out.

During this period, while the five-person group was busy, the cultivators below were also busy.

They would try their best to acquire knowledge from the other world and deduce various solutions for the immortals to refer to.

The team that enabled the Immortal Venerable to traverse the void for decades must have been composed of no ordinary people.

The five-person team has decided that learning how to fight the Zerg is of paramount importance in this world.

However, Qu Jianlei's suggestions included how to attack the Asuras and the Tree Clan from the outside, but notably omitted how to attack the Insect Clan!
It's worth spending some time training here!
However, the five of them learned from their previous experience and continued to train their troops while observing the opportunities in Shimokichi.

Although it's probably just a fairly ordinary opportunity, something is better than nothing, right?

In addition, there is another important point: the number of insect nests here is large, and their scale is also much larger.

The five agreed that this meant the Zerg here had emerged from their bodies and likely did not have their own planet.

The battle lasted for twenty-five days. The Zerg who had left their bodies perished, and the cultivators honed their skills.

Xia Ji also obtained a stroke of luck, which turned out to be a huge Soul-Containing Universe Stone.

This is a high-level version of Soul-Nourishing Wood, which can accommodate astral souls and has the added auxiliary function of "purifying the soul".

In other words, cultivators can use this to refine their spirit and soul. Only when the spirit and soul are stable enough can cultivators go further on the path of cultivation.

The strength of the tapir's soul is not bad, but it is somewhat weaker than that of human cultivators, and they do not have any inheritances to enhance their souls.

The strength of the soul is related to the perception of the tapir race; enhancing the soul can greatly strengthen the perception effect.

For the Star-Burning Great Venerable, the Soul-Containing Stone was an extremely precious opportunity, so he valued it highly.

However, it falls short for human cultivators.

However, since it can be called "chance encounter," even if it is of low quality, it must be a good thing.

Just considering its auxiliary functions, all major forces would find it useful—which cultivator wouldn't want to temper their soul?
However, cultivators have many methods to refine their spiritual essence, so they don't necessarily need this. The tapir race is far behind in this regard.

Another major benefit is that it can accommodate the soul of an immortal, which is an effective means of preserving one's life.

Once a cultivator reaches the stage of leaving the body, they have many ways to protect themselves, but who would mind having one more?
The Soul-Nourishing Stone is extremely rare in the cultivation world. It may not be considered legendary, but it is definitely not for sale.

Taking the Houde Realm as an example, the known Soul-Nourishing Stones are either in the hands of Immortal Venerables or in the hands of powerful forces.

Smaller factions have absolutely no information—not that there is absolutely none, but they certainly wouldn't dare to leak it.

This cosmic stone is quite large, about seven or eight hundred cubic meters.

However, when Qu Jianlei saw it, he exclaimed in surprise, "Shouldn't the Soul-Nourishing Cosmic Stone be purple?"

This stone is yellow.

“Purple is the highest grade,” Jin Ge Zhenxian replied. “Frequent refinement of the divine soul can upgrade the level of the cosmic stone…”

However, there is also wear and tear. If this piece of cosmic stone continues to be used until it turns purple, it's hard to say whether it will even have a cubic meter left.

However, the highest level also has its advantages, namely, it is more conducive to the soul of the Great Venerable.

The lowest level for a Grand Venerable to possess a soul is yellow; anything lower, like orange, is unacceptable to a Grand Venerable.

Therefore, this cosmic stone is only a low-grade opportunity. Even if the purple color is extremely refined, it is probably not a medium-grade opportunity.

Feeling a bit like a double-edged sword? Not really. Most of the time, things have two sides.

This includes the cosmic stone. It feels a bit of a waste to use it to refine the soul of a cultivator, but it also feels imperfect if it's not refined.

Anyway, True Venerable Hanli thought it was satisfactory. "It exceeded my expectations. Since it can be divided, let's put it into the public treasury first."

With this matter concluded, everyone embarked on a journey to seek opportunities.

However, in the following two months, they didn't encounter any decent opportunities.

The five-person team simply destroyed two more insect nests, practiced their skills once more, and plundered about ten top-grade spirit stones.

This small gain only offsets their losses—plus the Zerg corpses.

Unfortunately, there is still no news about the entrance to the Zerg world.

On this day, they destroyed a homeworld of the Tree Clan, but there was no Mother Tree that had left the body on the planet!

Jin Ge Zhenxian couldn't help but sigh, "Although the Tapir race is annoying, at least... they can save some trouble."

The worst thing is comparison. Although those guys are annoying, they can actually save you some time.

"I don't want to see them again," Han Li Zhenzun said calmly. "At worst, it'll be a bit of a hassle, but at least I'll be in a good mood."

That's because you have plenty of time... Min Ning and Wen Xian couldn't help but think to themselves.

As they are both out-of-body beings, they have a long life ahead of them, but if they want to take it to the next level, they really need to hurry, especially Min Ning.

Han Li Zhenzun also knew this, but he was a man of clear mind and said what he wanted to say.

But the next moment, he noticed that Jin Ge Zhenxian's expression was a bit off. "No way, you're also in a hurry to advance?"

You're an ancient gold essence, why would you care about lifespan?

Jin Ge replied with a strange expression, "That Rajan... he stirred up my karma!"
