Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2379 Choice
"Birth and death are not only the Great Dao, but also profound mysteries," Venerable Wenxian explained solemnly.

Simply put, the opportunity that everyone is pursuing this time should actually be considered a living being!
Of course, before something is conceived, living things are also dead, so there is no question of trampling on living beings.

This living being should be beyond the scope of Sunset; it is not only a spirit of heaven and earth, but may also be a prototype of a small world.

It's normal for it to be targeted by higher-level life forms during its development; growth is always arduous.

This guy was already difficult to produce, and then he was crushed by seven millstones, so... he died.

So here's the question: when such a being is completely destroyed, what is the most precious thing left behind?
Those rules and such may not be the most valuable thing; they are just the most basic, fundamental logic.

Basic logic is indeed very important; only with rules can various ecosystems and orders be built.

However, most rules do not exist out of thin air. To have basic logic, there must first be a subject!
Without a vehicle, where does the basic logic come from? Rules may indeed be eternal, but how are they manifested?
This treasure, which is suspected to be alive, has a wide range of potential for development, which is why everyone's divination is not always very accurate.

Now living things have become completely dead things, and the most basic foundation of their existence is birth and death!

It can be the essence of birth and death, the aura of birth and death, or the way of birth and death.

Birth and death have no origin, only essence, breath, true meaning and the Great Dao!

Han Li Zhenzun and his group found many rules, but they did not find any resources related to birth and death.

This is not surprising. Many things simply disappear; where do they go?

But now, Han Li Zhenzun actually said that Xiao Qu has attained life and death, so there is no reason for anyone not to believe him.

But... surprisingly, the biggest benefit went to those who didn't go on the adventure?
There were still some things that people didn't understand, so Jin Ge asked again, "What level is this birth and death...?"

Qu Jianlei shook his head and didn't say anything; he wasn't sure either.

“At the very least, it’s an aura,” True Venerable Wenxian sighed softly, “Little Qu’s luck… is truly unparalleled.”

Indeed, everyone was speechless. The aura of birth and death doesn't sound too rare, but an extremely pure aura is very rare.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators who were just one step away from achieving their goal only managed to break free from the shackles of leaving their physical body by chance obtaining a wisp of pure energy.

The key point is that this aura of life and death was actively directed towards Qu Jianlei, which is truly... unbelievable.

Fortunately, while everyone may be envious, it's ultimately just an opportunity to leave the body, so it's not too unbalanced.

Even so, after a moment's thought, True Venerable Hanli still spoke up, "This time, everyone has been waiting here for quite some time to seize this opportunity."

Xiao Qu contributed seven millstones, a contribution that cannot be denied, but this particular opportunity was indeed the one that took the longest to arrive.

The high-ranking officials' stakeout also has to be calculated in terms of cost, which needs no explanation.

"Don't count this as mine," Qu Jianlei said decisively, knowing full well what was going on. "I've already gotten a great deal."

“That’s not how it works,” Jin Ge Zhenxian said righteously. “While we were lying in wait, you fought two Out-of-Body cultivators all by yourself.”

Han Li Zhenzun didn't respond; he simply stated the facts, trying to be fair to everyone.

In fact, he wanted to eliminate any potential imbalance in Xiao Qu's mind as much as possible, and speaking frankly would not do her any harm.

He remained unmoved by Jin Ge's words.

However, those two great masters were somewhat unconvinced: Xiao Qu's solo battle against those two Nascent Soul stage cultivators was actually his own fault!

The normal reaction at that time would have been to actively seek help.

Of course, it cannot be said that Xiao Qu's decision was wrong. Whether it was taking the initiative to scout or confronting the enemy alone, it was a responsible act.

Therefore, it's not appropriate to publicly state this assessment.

Wenxian Zhenzun coughed lightly, "Xiao Qu also brought out seven millstones, with a total of nine rules. Xiao Qu, take one of them."

Han Li Zhenzun waited for a moment, and when no one spoke, he said, "Then it's settled. The nine rules will be deposited into the public treasury first!"

Incorporating rules into the public treasury is simply to reflect fairness. The powerful also need various types of rules, but their urgency is less.

The rewards of this exploration were so plentiful that the rules themselves were rather insignificant.

The truth is that Qu Jianlei has a greater need for rules, and he is also the poorest, so this decision is very favorable to him.

After the matter was settled, everyone left the chaotic environment and found a quiet place to rest for three days.

Then came the bloodshed unleashed by the cultivators, who swept through the star systems of five alien races that had transcended the physical body.

One of them was a Mother Tree of Out-of-Body, and four Out-of-Body Insectoids, which consumed sixteen Flawed Realms in succession.

When they killed the second Zerg creature that emerged from its body, they had an unexpected gain, which still belonged to Qu Jianlei.

That was the tip of the broken blade, which fit perfectly into the broken blade. It was also sacrificed in the temple of the Out-of-Body Insectoids.

This opportunity was so serendipitous that no one could take it away from him, making Qu Jianlei feel quite embarrassed.

Taking advantage like this again and again doesn't seem like a good thing. "Let's offer a discount from my share."

“We’re not that short-sighted,” this time it was True Venerable Han Li who objected. “Don’t we need resources to make so many millstones?”

"Moreover, this is part of that fellow Daoist's body, so we should all do as a token of our appreciation!"

Once the divine weapon is fully repaired, one will at least be a true cultivator who has left the body, worthy of being called a fellow Daoist, and worth some investment of personal favor.

However, the broken sword reacted strangely after discovering the blade tip, circling around it without getting close.

Qu Jianlei had no intention of finding out what had happened, because everyone had other things to do.

The team had already obtained two broken divine weapons from the Zerg temple, so for the next three souls to emerge, they chose the Zerg.

There was indeed a find; it was a rather large bone, about the size of a locomotive.

The bones exuded a faint aura, but the artistic conception they emanated was astonishing, even several immortal venerables found it difficult to withstand.

It was an unexpected delight, and a truly unexpected surprise: the remains of a great king from who-knows-how-long past!

The remains left behind by those at the Nascent Soul stage... while not entirely unique, are basically the same.

The Great Lord of the Divine Realm will naturally perish, but most of the time, upon his death, he will transform into the Dao and become one with the heavens and earth.

The Great Ruler, a man of great influence and skill, derives his power from the heavens and earth, and in the end, he must give back to them.

Few True Venerables have left behind their remains, let alone Divine Lords in their Divine Transformation stage.

It's just that this skeleton has been dead for too long; otherwise, even the lingering aura wouldn't be something that the Out-of-Body Insectoids would dare to consume.

Such a valuable treasure can only be... deposited in the public treasury for now!

After eliminating the five Out-of-Body creatures, the group of five confronted Rajan: This time we're really going back, and you don't need to follow us anymore.

Now tell us, are you going to give us the magical treasure you have? If not, we won't force you.

Killing five alien beings who had left their bodies was the initial condition set by Grand Venerable Lata, which was later reduced to four.

However, the cultivators still refused, because they did not want to have any more contact with the tapir race.

Five have been killed so far. The only flaw is that the tapirs were not eliminated because they were chosen randomly instead of the tapirs that were specifically targeted for exorcism.

Rajan dared not refuse. He could only stammer, "Will you come back?"

“The resources here are quite good,” Min Ning Zhenzun said without any pretense, “They are quite suitable for cultivators to undergo trials.”

Although it is called a trial, its essence is a strategy. However, even if the cultivators eventually settle in this realm, there will always be a space for the tapir race.

Moreover, there are many more tricks involved in taking over another world and completely assimilating it into the cultivation world.

Rajan was overjoyed to hear this. "Now that the cultivators can return, I can finally report back."

As for the cultivator's true purpose in returning, it's not worth mentioning.

Deep down, it still hoped that the world would be tempting enough for cultivators, so that the other party could return sooner!
Anyway, even if the other party doesn't come back, the Tapir Clan will inevitably perish sooner or later. At that time, should we leave this magical treasure to the Insect Clan?

So the other party's answer was enough; it didn't even want to ask about the return date.

Then, quite cautiously, it asked, "Can't I really come with you?"

Min Ning's answer was incisive: "Would you want a companion who abandons his own kind?"

Rajan was speechless. For any Star Tapir Grandmaster, this question would be a fatal blow.

The group of five ignored him, put away their black flag, tore open a space, and left.

In fact, there is another target that everyone can attack, and that is the unseen opportunity deep in the Tree Clan's territory.

However, there's no need for the tapir clan to know about this.

Upon arriving near the location of the opportunity, the group discovered that the three mother trees, along with their subordinates, were still quietly waiting there.

After calculating for a moment, True Venerable Han Li said with some regret, "Fifty more years... is it really necessary to destroy it again?"

Regarding the opportunity that was destroyed by the last seven-seater travel agency, everyone still has mixed feelings.

It's good to have gained nine rules, but the other aura of life and death almost slipped away quietly, which is truly regrettable.

Fortunately, Qu Jianlei was lucky enough to absorb this aura, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss.

That's right. Although Xiao Qu ultimately benefited, the four Grand Venerables at least had a larger share to distribute.

If we think about it more deeply, there might be more than one similar aura, but the team only kept one.

Therefore, it's best not to easily ruin such an opportunity, otherwise, who knows what other variables might be introduced.

Wenxian Zhenzun nodded, "That's true. It's good to leave it to someone who is destined to have it. We shouldn't go too far."

Minning Zhenzun thought to himself: Fifty years is enough time to travel back and forth to Houde Realm twice. It shouldn't be too late to come again next time.
