Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2393 Beware (First Update: A Night to Celebrate the Adorable Master's Mischief)
Qu Jianlei finally stopped divining; the seven-colored butterfly was just too eerie.

It's best to retain the ability to perform divination, just in case.

Another day passed, and the bubbles on the tip of the knife actually started to decrease, so he made a point of asking about it.

"Has the aura emanating from this blade tip... changed?"

“Hmm,” Jin Ge could sense the crux of the matter, “I don’t think it’s an illusion.”

The ancient gold essence's ability to resist illusions is far stronger than that of cultivators; he spoke with great certainty.

However, this also reveals that although the three did not say anything, they were very wary of the seven-colored butterfly.

A day later, fewer bubbles appeared on the tip of the knife, and the knife itself became faintly visible.

Han Li Zhenzun threw out a piece of black iron, which smashed towards the tip of the blade.

The black iron was deflected before it even touched the tip of the blade, and then quickly melted away.

"Hmm, the main body seems fine; the evil aura is being eroded first."

He didn't even want to calculate the tip of the knife, which shows that he was also intentionally preserving his strength.

The bubbles on the knife tip visibly decreased, and just when they were almost gone, suddenly, the colorful butterfly moved.

Its body was filled with a chilling aura, and with a sudden flap of its wings, it disappeared in a certain direction like an arrow.

"Damn..." Jin Ge raised his hand and pinched his finger, "There's no danger, should we chase?"

"Chase!" Han Li Zhenzun raised his hand, wrapped Qu Jianlei up, and chased after him straight away.

Qu Jianlei reacted incredibly quickly, flicking his wrist to create a large net at the Golden Core level, which covered the tip of the blade and dragged it back.

Golden Core level magical artifacts deteriorate very quickly, but this large net was handcrafted by him over the past two days, so it can only be considered a crudely made weapon.

Fortunately, the material of the net was acceptable, so it wouldn't melt too quickly and returned with the blade tip.

In that brief moment, Han Li had already carried him, leaving a faint trace in the transparent medium, and disappeared into the distance.

"Wait for me!" Jin Ge Zhenxian snorted and chased after them. "Do you know where we're going?"

Han Li Zhenzun stated that he did not need to know where the other party was going—could the Heavenly Demon stop him from going to any place he dared to go?

Qu Jianlei did not object, because in his intuition, the danger was not great.

The butterfly, which was flying away, didn't care that there were three people chasing it. From the very beginning, it ignored the three of them.

The butterfly flew very fast, but Han Li and Jin Ge were not slow either, especially now that they didn't need to conceal their figures.

The only one who was a little confused was Qu Jianlei, who didn't know how to calculate the distance of the flight.
But it doesn't matter anymore. I've already seen the rules of time, let alone the rules of space. Distance and such are not important.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, or... longer? Suddenly, the three of them arrived in a misty space.

"This is it!" Yi He's consciousness suddenly emerged.

This time, Qu Jianlei brought a trial cave, from which Yi He could sense the outside world.

But he didn't even dare to show his head. The boss had been standing there upright for four months, how could he dare to act recklessly?

"?" Just as Yi He appeared, the butterfly suddenly noticed something was wrong and its divine sense swept over!

"Insolence!" True Venerable Hanli snorted coldly, his powerful divine sense suddenly meeting the attack head-on.

The two divine senses collided and instantly turned into nothingness. Han Li must have been prepared, as he was actually evenly matched with his opponent.

The seven-colored butterfly seemed surprised by the opponent's strength, and even glanced back slightly.

In a pair of large, compound eyes, thousands upon thousands of Han Li's shadows appeared.

But that was all. It only glanced at it before turning its head away, a very casual act, seemingly unconcerned about the entanglement between the two parties.

"Huh?" True Venerable Han Li couldn't take it anymore. "Isn't this beast a bit too arrogant? Who's going to help me take it down?"

“Immortal Venerable, there’s no rush,” Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, “The important matter is ahead.”

This is also a closed space. The Heavenly Demon is arrogant, but let it be for now. It doesn't seem like it can escape.

"Inner demons?" Han Li Zhenzun frowned slightly and muttered softly.

The next moment, the broken blade suddenly appeared, its fierce aura concealed, as if it were on guard against something.

"Huh?" Jin Ge Zhenxian looked at it in surprise, "Did it jump out on its own?"

"Maybe... I'm in a better mood?" Qu Jianlei wasn't quite sure either.

He had just put the tip of his knife back into the cave when the broken sword came closer, its attitude clearly different.

Now that the broken sword has jumped out on its own initiative, perhaps it wants to express its gratitude?
Moreover, this guy used to be completely undisguised when he made a move, but this time he actually knew to restrain himself.

This could be due to an improvement in spirituality, but it could also be... a better mood?
Regardless, it's good news.

The fact that the broken sword had taken the initiative to leap out surprised the butterfly once again.

This time, however, it didn't even turn its head. Only a faint divine sense swept over before it withdrew.

The next moment, Qu Jianlei frowned, then felt a sudden urge and decisively did some calculations with his fingers.

Since Han Li doesn't act rashly, I can't keep my skills to myself any longer; I must be vigilant against any unexpected events.

Immediately afterwards, his face turned pale, and he almost spat out another mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't finish his calculations. Sensing something was wrong, he decisively gave up and then looked in a certain direction in astonishment.

His every move was being watched by the two True Venerables, who also looked in the same direction upon seeing this.

Then Han Li frowned, let out a soft "hmm," and subconsciously raised her hand, but immediately lowered it again.

There is also a potential, unknown adversary nearby, so we cannot act rashly.

However, even without calculation, he sensed a certain aura. "This is... demonic energy?"

Qu Jianlei nodded slowly, "The Heavenly Demon Realm... that should be it."

After pondering for a moment, Jin Ge Zhenxian also raised his hand to calculate, then nodded slightly, "There seem to be quite a few realms around here."

Han Li nodded slightly, then looked at Qu Jianlei, "Is the backlash... very severe?"

"It's nothing," Qu Jianlei shook his head slightly, his aura fluctuating. "Luckily, my fluctuations are strong."

He stopped in time, and more importantly, he was still forcibly suppressing his aura as he left his body, which neutralized the effect.

Although the aura was somewhat turbulent, the power of the breakthrough was so strong that it actually blocked any potential internal injuries.

Otherwise, judging from that moment's calculation, if he hadn't been in this state and had stopped in time, the hidden injuries would have taken at least a month to heal.

The other side is the Heavenly Demon Realm, with countless Out-of-Body Heavenly Demons, and it is also the Heavenly Demon's stronghold. The karmic consequences are extremely heavy.

Upon hearing this, Jin Ge Zhenxian also said, "I calculated it from the side... it's a bit dangerous."

He had already foreseen Qu Jianlei's fate, so of course he would be extremely careful, but even so, he still issued a warning.

“Then I’ll also do a divination,” Han Li Zhenzun glanced at Qu Jianlei, “You don’t need to protect me.”

This time he didn't need the protection of the ritual implements, not because he underestimated the danger, but because he didn't want the butterfly to notice his hand.

Xiao Qu and Jin Ge's calculations were completely unprotected. Was it because they forgot? Of course not!

“I think we should protect it,” Qu Jianlei disagreed with his opinion.

Because he noticed something: "That person's focus is not on the Heavenly Demon Realm, and... it seems that the two have no causal relationship."

After pondering for a moment, Jin Ge Zhenxian slowly nodded, "It seems there is no necessary connection."

He used fuzzy divination, which had little backlash and a vague scope, yet he was still able to draw some conclusions.

“Then… don’t take it out in advance,” Han Li hesitated before speaking, “just be prepared.”

He did a quick calculation, then frowned slightly, "Heavenly Demon... Origin Realm?"

"Isn't it unnecessary to be so stubborn?" Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter.

"I want to provoke that butterfly!" Han Li secretly sent out a divine sense message. "I don't like passive defense!"

Qu Jianlei didn't know what to say, so he could only reply with his divine sense.

"It might be an illusion butterfly... As long as it doesn't affect us, it's fine."

He is quite adaptable to noisy environments and doesn't have the habit of always clearing the area before doing business.

“It’s already affecting me!” True Venerable Hanli replied. “Now, should we ask Yi He?”

He doesn't remember nameless people, but in fact, he can remember anyone he wants to remember.

Qu Jianlei knew very well that Han Li wanted to know more than just where the world Yi He sensed was.

This person still wants to use the Nightmare Transformation Essence to further stimulate the butterfly and completely eliminate the possibility of the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon is most skilled at disguise, as all cultivators know, but even the Heavenly Demon who has left his body cannot resist the temptation of the Nightmare Transformation Essence!
Qu Jianlei hates using teammates as bait, especially since Yi He was only in a remnant soul state and had suffered a lot.

But that seven-colored butterfly had already noticed Yi He and even bumped into Han Li.

So there was no need to hide it anymore, and he raised his hand to do some calculations again.

"You don't need to calculate anymore!" Han Li thought to herself and suppressed his calculations. "Just release him, there's no danger."

Qu Jianlei wasn't surprised that his intentions were seen through; no Grandmaster was easily fooled.

However, the endorsement of True Venerable Han Li is indeed highly credible, and he can discuss it with Yi He first.

Yi He expressed without hesitation that he wanted to experience the relevant atmosphere and didn't mind taking some risks.

The three were ready to act at any moment, and then Qu Jianlei took out the Nightmare Transformation Essence.

But this time, the seven-colored butterfly paid no attention; instead, its wings became even more crystalline, as if it were manipulating something.

"It's probing the boundary," Han Li's divine sense quietly transmitted, "its state is not very stable."

It's more than just unstable; the butterfly's colorful body has also begun to turn transparent.

However, the broken sword remained dormant in the space, so nothing too sinister should happen.

"Such an aura..." A faint divine consciousness emanated from the charred, demonic essence.

"This is the place we visited last time. It felt both real and unreal, but, hmm?"

Yi He scanned back and forth with his divine sense, "But where has this aura gone from my home world?"

"Let me look for it, it must be there..."

(First update, congratulations to the adorable protagonist on "Cat's Night".)
