Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2353 Big Job
The group rushed over to sense it from a distance and were immediately taken aback: a huge nebula was twisting violently.

Beside the nebula were two enormous forests inhabited by alien races, each with over a million inhabitants, and even the Mother Tree had arrived.

In addition, there was a huge swarm of Zerg, probably numbering in the hundreds of millions.

The insectoids were numerous, but they did not win simply by sheer numbers. Their imposing presence was also quite remarkable, as they simultaneously threatened two forest areas.

The leaders of the Zerg were actually a pair of butterflies that had left their bodies!
Just by looking at the distribution of the insect swarm, one can determine that they are definitely from the same tribe, but coincidentally, two gods emerged from the same tribe.

This is truly a rare occurrence, especially since these two deities seem to get along very well!
They even openly mated on this battlefield, which is truly a testament to their passionate nature!

However, at the same time, they really looked down on the tree race, even though this place was still the tree race's territory.

“A primordial species… the Morning and Evening Butterfly?” True Venerable Hanli’s eyes widened instantly. “Minning, can you take a look at this for me?”

At the crucial moment, he still chose to believe in the Venerable Minning. Wenxian's knowledge was also diverse, but not broad enough!

“How could it be a Morning and Evening Butterfly?” Min Ning said calmly. “It could be a Sun and Moon Butterfly at most, or, if I’m wrong, it’s probably just a Yin-Yang Butterfly!”

"This Yin and Yang is not the same as that Yin and Yang," True Venerable Wenxian said leisurely, "It is merely the insect race, with only bestiality remaining!"

“But he is also straightforward,” Venerable Minning smiled, saying nonchalantly, “Human nature and animal nature… are nothing more than instinct!”

Jin Ge Zhenxian couldn't help but ask, "What are they fighting over?"

The four of them looked at True Venerable Han Li, who waved his hand and said, "I won't do the divination, you guys do it."

Minning Zhenzun hesitated for a moment, raised his hand to calculate, and then was taken aback, "It's just a minor opportunity, why is there such a big commotion?"

"Up or down," Han Li Zhenzun breathed a sigh of relief, looking somewhat relieved. He had been feeling rather conflicted lately.

He felt a little regretful that the opportunity wasn't very important, because he couldn't exchange for too many public treasury shares.

Jin Ge was a little puzzled, "How could something as simple as 'down' cause such a loud noise?"

"We'll find out soon enough," said True Venerable Wenxian, who was the most emotionally stable. He had made a fortune from this exploration trip.

He also wanted the Primordial Purple Qi, but the Innate Dao Talisman was more suitable for him. In any case, the more everyone gained, the more he would get.

Minning Zhenzun nodded, "Let's wait for these guys to start fighting, and then we'll be the ones to take the spoils."

He paused for a moment, then muttered to himself, "I just don't know how long we'll have to wait."

Previously, the group of five had encountered three Mother Trees awaiting their destiny, and at that time they calculated that the opportunity would appear in sixty years.

That opportunity will not appear for another fifty years.

The current situation is that three forces are waiting for an opportunity, and the timing is another question.

However, judging from this unusually large celestial phenomenon, it seems unlikely that there will be any results in the short term.

If an opportunity is about to arise, the several beings in the arena who have left their bodies should sense it and there is a high probability that they will engage in a fierce battle ahead of time.

Therefore, judging from appearances alone, the opportunity is still far off.

Han Li Zhenzun hesitated for a long time before raising his hand to calculate, then his expression changed to one of surprise, "Such a large range?"

His divination results indicated that the opportunity would appear within three to thirty years.

If it could be confirmed that it would be thirty years—or even ten—the group of five would leave without hesitation and return when the time was almost up.

But three years... that's a dilemma. Even though it was just a chance encounter, we've finally come across it.

It is actually very difficult to search for opportunities aimlessly in the universe.

But if we say we should wait, even if we can reduce our consumption now, we'll still have to fight these alien races when the opportunity arises.

Jin Ge Zhenxian muttered, "If we can determine what the opportunity is, it will be easier to make a choice."

Han Li pondered for a moment before speaking, "Why don't you try again and see if you can divine the opportunity?"

The only ones who didn't make a move were Wenxian, Jin Ge, and Qu Jianlei. The three of them exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison.

Wenxian Zhenzun directly stated, "You two have the highest level of divination skills. If we reduce the number of divinations we perform, we can concentrate on protecting the Dharma."

Jin Ge Zhenxian further stated, "Frequent divination might affect one's opportunities... I, being a novice, will not embarrass myself by offering my services."

True Venerable Hanli knew they were right, so he could only sigh and then, five days later, conducted a second divination.

This time, he took the divination much more seriously, even taking out several black and white chess pieces as tools.

But after the divination was finished, his expression was strange. "At least two opportunities, at most four... what kind of nonsense is this?"

Even the number of opportunities is not very certain.

"The four paths combined are considered inferior?" Jin Ge Zhenxian muttered softly, "I don't think it's that great."

This represents the common sentiment of everyone. Having witnessed so many opportunities, people's standards have unknowingly risen considerably.

Seeing Qu Jianlei's calm demeanor, Han Li Zhenzun spoke up, "Little Qu, you seem to have some ideas?"

“I don’t have any ideas,” Qu Jianlei quickly shook his head, “but such a massive change in celestial phenomena can be very unpredictable.”

If we look at it from a technological perspective, rather than from the perspective of the cultivation world, the uncertainty of such celestial phenomena is too high.

Venerable Wenxian spoke with great interest, "Could you give a general analysis of what kind of opportunities these are?"

After thinking for a moment, Qu Jianlei replied, "At least there might be opportunities for destruction or rebirth."

"The Dao of birth and death..." Venerable Minning's lips twitched slightly, "How perplexing!"

Qu Jianlei's words were essentially meaningless; even if he hadn't said them, others would have likely already thought of them.

However, there are too many possibilities in the world of cultivation. He can confirm these two points, but others are thinking about much more than that.

Han Li Zhenzun glanced at Min Ning and said, "Do you still have any of those 'Sound and Color Circle Horses'? Why don't we catch a few more 'Out-of-Body Flying Locusts' to sell?"

For the leader of an exploration team to have such a mindset shows that he is under considerable financial pressure.

Minning Zhenzun rolled his eyes. "We only encountered one Nascent Soul flying locust!"

They killed many of the emerging mother trees, but the emerging locusts are really rare.

Besides being rare, he also doesn't want others to imitate him—rarity increases value, and if everyone has a locust that leaves its body, how will he make money?

“Let’s do another divination in a few days,” Minning said. “I’ll start with birth and death.”

To avoid affecting the opportunity, divination by others is usually done indirectly, but if the scope can be narrowed down, the accuracy will be improved.

However, two days later, Rajan called upon Jingo again using the causal thread.

The Master was quite frustrated, but he still had to go back and check on things. Min Ning and Qu Jianlei went with him.

Han Li and Wen Xian exchanged a glance, and since there was nothing else to do here for the time being, they decided to leave together.

This time, Rajan really gave the cultivators a big challenge – a large-scale, head-on battle!

The cultivators have already made it clear that they oppose participating in such matters, but this time is different.

Through frequent small-scale battles, the Zerg have stripped away the outer defenses of a certain Tapir tribe and are approaching the star system where their home planet is located.

So in a way, this can be considered as helping the tapir tribe guard their home.

Among the approaching Zerg swarm, three Grandmasters have already appeared, and Zerg reinforcements are still arriving in droves.

It will be much more difficult for the Tapir Clan to gather reinforcements. It's manageable for those below the Nascent Soul stage, but dealing with the Out-of-Body Star Tapirs is really challenging.

On the current front, in addition to the Grand Venerables who are protecting their home planet, two more Star Tapir Grand Venerables have arrived, barely maintaining a balance of power.

However, the entire tapir tribe knew that this balance of power could not last.

The Zerg will come in greater numbers, and there may be new Out-of-Body appearances, but the potential of the Tapir... is really that great.

After hearing the situation, Jin Ge Zhenxian couldn't help but ask, "They want us to fight... that guy has a very high status among the Mo tribe?"

Not to brag, but although there are only five cultivators, it should be the most powerful killing move of the Tapir Clan.

“It… is just average,” Rajan hesitated for a moment before saying, “The main problem is that our tribe’s morale is just starting to rise, and we can’t afford to let it falter.”

"The morale of the Tapir Clan..." Jin Ge Zhenxian snorted lightly, "I heard a terrible joke."

“We need a victory,” Rajan sighed helplessly. “Like last time, we captured a lot of foreign prisoners.”

Last time, the three Star Tapir Grandmasters cooperated with the cultivators to fight two against one and captured so many prisoners, causing a great sensation in the clan.

Although the consequence was that Raru's base was raided, then... didn't the Zerg get a severe blow from Rajan?
In short, this is a very encouraging thing for the Tapir race, after all, they have been suppressed and beaten by the Zerg for thousands of years.

Now another home planet is about to fall. Not only is the Grand Venerable in charge anxious, but the Tapir Clan is also extremely worried.

Logically speaking, they were still somewhat reluctant to use the powerful weapon of cultivators, but... these people actually left to seek opportunities!

They knew that cultivators were unruly, but they never imagined they would be so unrestrained.

Moreover, the problem now is that many tapirs have come to see cultivators as their lifeline!

If cultivators don't appear, in this battle... the Mo Clan can only muster a maximum of three Great Venerables, which is already their limit.

However, if cultivators appear, there will definitely be more Great Venerables of the Tapir Clan joining the battle—a battle that is basically guaranteed to be won.

In light of these considerations, the Tapir clan believed it was necessary to invite cultivators to fulfill their promise and participate in this battle.

They no longer cared whether it was worth it or not; if they didn't fight this battle seriously, morale would collapse again.

In fact, who doesn't know that the true leaders of the Tapir tribe are currently in a state of being slowly boiled like frogs in warm water?
It's just a matter of whether or not one is willing to admit it.

So it's not that this Star Tapir Venerable is particularly popular, but rather that the Tapir Clan, after discussion, felt it necessary to unleash their trump card.

"Only three Out-of-Body Insectoids..." Jin Ge Zhenxian felt a bit disheartened. "Can we just kill them at will?"

"Only?" Grand Master Rajan felt that these cultivators were exaggerating.

It paused for a moment before answering, "Killing him directly might be a bit more difficult."
