Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2395 The World of Great Powers

It was Qingkong Zhenzun who had tracked them down here... Qu Jianlei silently put away the Boundary-Breaking Shuttle.

With a wave of his hand, True Venerable Hanli also withdrew the bluish-white light.

Don't be fooled by how slow this thing is when it's launched; when it's retrieved, it's incredibly fast.

After putting away the bluish-white light, he looked at the butterfly and slowly said, "The opportunity here should never have been yours!"

Then he looked at Qu Jianlei and asked, "Don't you have anything to say about this?"

"Yes," Qu Jianlei nodded. Although Qingkong was Lingyun's chief protector, there were some things he had to say.

Since Han Li was willing to support him, he wasn't afraid to say it directly: "This Forgotten Peninsula has been a scourge to Cangwu for a long time!"

Seeing that the butterfly remained unmoved, he added, "Those who helped Senior Huzhongzi sever his Dao were not from the Lingyun Sect!"

"That's it..." The Grand Protector was also a little speechless. Although he didn't manage affairs, he was generally aware of the major events in the sect.

The Lingyun Sect had been planning the Forgotten Peninsula for tens of thousands of years, but initially, there was no clear purpose behind creating this forbidden area within the sect.

Strictly speaking, the sect also conducted various tests here, but the Cangwu Realm is not very familiar with this information.

As for the trouble the forbidden area brought to Cangwu, Lingyun Sect really didn't care much, and Qingkong thought so too.

The sect has already shown great kindness by finding such a world and sending people with limited resources to live there.

No one is born obligated to be responsible for anyone else; ultimately, people have to rely on themselves!
However, the huge mess that Hu Zhongzi made was indeed beyond the imagination of the Lingyun Sect's higher-ups.

The matter is over, but it's not just Baiqiao who's reviewing it; other senior executives will also be aware of and summarize what happened.

Not to mention, the remains of Hu Zhongzi, who was in a crisis of transformation at the time, could also pose a great threat to his ability to leave his body.

Jin Ge and a Nascent Soul cultivator, who were facing difficulties at the time, were able to break through the Dao Transformation Realm, which shocked not only Bai Qiao but also others.

More than one person has recounted Qu Jianlei's methods, and his background is no secret to others.

However, the cultivation world is not intolerant, and cultivators from outside the cultivation world are not particularly intolerable.

Moreover, this team acted quite effectively in Cangwu. Houdejie may not want to get involved in Cangwu, but that doesn't mean they have no compassion.

The upper realm simply doesn't want to get involved in karma, and doesn't want to cultivate a mentality of dependency in the lower realm. They are happy to see others take charge.

Now that Qu Jianlei has suddenly brought up the topic of severing the Dao, even Qingkong Zhenzun doesn't know how to respond.

The generation of this point of maintenance was something he hadn't even expected; it must have been derived from the transformation of the pot-shaped object into the Dao.

So the one who cuts down the path has a dispute about ownership, which is... completely unreasonable.

To be fair, Qingkong Zhenzun wasn't a pedantic person. He wasn't necessarily reasonable in everything, but at most he was wary of cause and effect.

It's just like Qu Jianlei said: "I worked hard to reach the top of the food chain, not to reason with others!"

But now, the three people opposite him have the power to reason with him, so he has no choice but to reason.

The Great Protector wasn't particularly afraid of Han Li; he didn't believe that the other party was stronger than him.

But with this little Nascent Soul cultivator added to his troubles—this guy had more than one or two Great Venerable lives on his hands!

Therefore, even if Jin Ge Zhenxian knew his identity and dared not participate in the battle, he did not believe that he could definitely win in a two-on-one fight.

That's why, when he met Han Li and the other two, he didn't reveal his identity directly, but wanted to seize the opportunity first.

The Sky-Piercing True Venerable's understanding of the maintenance points is much deeper than that of ordinary True Venerables, and he is also very familiar with the sect's erosion array.

After Han Li disappeared, he had been searching for her and finally made some progress. Naturally, he had to make thorough preparations.

So his performance was better than the trio, but that was mainly because he was well-prepared, not because he had overwhelming combat strength.

Fortunately, none of the three of them intended to make things difficult for him.

Han Li further stated, "Lingyun Sect's rise and fall are both due to Lingyun Sect. This place is not exclusive to Lingyun Sect. I wonder what the Grand Protector thinks?"

"Use your eyes to see!" Venerable Qingkong replied irritably. "Do you know how this peculiar space was formed?"

"Isn't this all the sins committed by Hu Zhongzi?" True Venerable Hanli said casually. "Do you know how many lives have been lost?"

Although Hu Zhongzi's reputation was ruined in his later years, he still had some respect for him in the past. But since the other party asked him this question, he could no longer be polite.

"Who can escape death?" The Great Protector was quite indifferent to this topic, seemingly including himself in it.

What he cares about more is that "there is no objection to the ownership of this space!"

"What if I destroy this place?" Han Li couldn't stand this kind of self-talk the most. "The one who severed the Dao was one of my seniors."

That makes sense. Xiao Qu is his teammate and senior, so shouldn't he also call him senior?

"You're just arguing for the sake of arguing!" The butterfly's figure gradually blurred, eventually transforming into a middle-aged man.

"Wow, he really is the Great Protector!" Jin Ge muttered.

Qingkong Zhenzun looked at Han Li and said calmly, "You don't need to make a fuss about this. This kind of point of contact is very unstable."

"Finding a way to reach the other world is the right path."

"Is another world necessarily better?" True Venerable Han Li scoffed. "Please step aside, we need to continue!"

“There’s no need to continue,” Qingkong Zhenzun said casually, “unless you can come up with a complete solution.”

"I cannot tolerate such recklessness as before."

The handsome young man's face remained expressionless for a while before he spoke, "It's a pity it was just an avatar... Is that all the courage you have?"

"You still want to kill me to silence me?" Qingkong laughed upon hearing this. "Unfortunately, I'm very afraid of dying."

"Xiao Qu and I will take up half of this space," Han Li Zhenzun said calmly, "or we'll destroy it."

Qingkong stared at him for a long time before shaking his head helplessly, "How about... forget it, it's just the four of us who know!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Ge Zhenxian was immediately taken aback. "Great Protector, you... have such strong personal motives?"

“You make it sound like you don’t have any selfish motives,” the middle-aged man glanced at him. “The key is that this place is too dangerous and shouldn’t be known to others.”

Then he gave Qu Jianlei a deep look, "You even have someone to break the deadlock... no wonder you're so confident."

"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei raised an eyebrow. "Great Venerable One, I am very polite."

"Your luck..." The middle-aged man raised his hand and pointed at True Venerable Han Li, "is far, far superior to his!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei's face immediately fell. He glanced at Han Li and said, "I'm easy to talk to."

At that moment, he truly intended to kill, not because his constitution was unlucky, but because the other party seemed to be speaking ironically.

Rather, it was because he held the Dao Tablet of the Character of Fortune, and this Sky-Piercing Immortal Venerable might have sensed something.

To be honest, the pressure from the Great Protector was no less than that from Han Li, which explains why he was the number one protector of the Lingyun Sect.

"It's just a clone," Han Li knew his thoughts and sighed softly, "Your causal curse won't kill your main body, will it?"

"You two, that's enough," the middle-aged man said unhappily. "Lingyun Sect is not a place for you to act recklessly!"

He spoke sternly, but neither Han Li nor Qu Jianlei showed any reaction on their faces.

Once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one will no longer care about such threats. The sect is indeed a behemoth, but who can represent the sect?
They did not violate the rules of Lingyun Sect. This was an opportunity, and whoever got it got it, not to mention the karmic connection beforehand.

If the Grand Protector is injured due to the struggle for opportunities, even the Lingyun Sect would not be able to intervene openly.

"Forget it, why don't you tell me about your mouthparts?" Han Li Zhenzun shook his head. "What are you absorbing?"

This is the world of the powerful; one moment they are thinking about killing each other, and the next they can consult each other.

However, this is not driven by self-interest; it's simply about living life on a free and easy basis.

“Realm characteristics,” True Venerable Qingkong replied casually, “to assess opportunities and, incidentally, to search for realm information.”

"How did you do that?" Jin Ge couldn't help but ask, but Qing Kong ignored him completely.

"If you have this attitude..." Qu Jianlei's words stopped abruptly halfway through.

He's gotten arrogant, he's really gotten arrogant, daring to speak to a veteran out-of-body like that.

But Qingkong really understood what he meant, and gave him a half-smile, "Still young."

There was no malice in that look, but it actually had a... indescribable feel to it.

"A master!" Qu Jianlei didn't know if the other party could control their malice, but this one glance made him suspicious.

He vaguely sensed that Jin Ge or Han Li... were they cunning and plotting something?
This feeling is very strange. Logically speaking, if he suspects anyone, he shouldn't suspect these two, right?

So, is it seduction? Qu Jianlei couldn't help but think that way; these immortal venerables might really be using dirty tricks!
He couldn't help but think that way, because this Grand Protector did indeed seem to disregard the rules in his actions.

Han Li, however, remained calm, saying, "Since the Grand Protector has gained something, he probably won't care what we discovered..."

“Of course I care,” Qingkong Zhenzun said without hesitation, “and whether it’s Jin Ge or Min Ning, they are both my Lingyun people!”

After a pause, he continued, "If you cooperate, I can share this information about the realms... and we can even explore them together."

"Save your breath," Han Li said unmoved. "If you can't get it by coercion, you can't get it by bribery either. Do you think we can't find these realms?"

His words were very impolite, but Qingkong Zhenzun didn't care.

He pondered for a moment, then asked with interest, "It seems you've had a very fruitful trip?"

The Great Protector was genuinely curious about the expedition team's gains in the other world, but unfortunately, it was inconvenient to ask.

Even though Min Ning and Jin Ge are both disciples of Ling Yun, their personal opportunities are absolute private matters.

“Not as strong as your butterfly shell,” Han Li Zhenzun replied calmly.

“It’s just an external force,” Qingkong Zhenzun seemed a little uninterested, “It doesn’t benefit the path of cultivation.”
