Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2418 Overflow
Like Han Li and Wen Xian, Qing Kong Zhen Zun originally looked down on these trivial things in this world.

But after wandering around for more than a year, he was really bored, so he decided to get involved.

Besides studying the cultivation system, the three were also analyzing and pondering the mechanisms underlying the formation of this world.

This is an extremely rare occurrence. What merit does this world possess to allow three Nascent Soul Immortals to conduct research together?
After much research, they concluded that the strangeness of this world stemmed from the entanglement of two suns.

After reaching this conclusion, Qingkong Zhenzun couldn't help but feel restless, thinking, "Why don't I turn back... maybe there will be an opportunity."

He absolutely did not intend to disturb Xiao Qu's advancement, but it would be alright to wait until that guy finished advancing, right?
"Can't you be a human being?" Surprisingly, Min Ning was the first to break down. "How many lives have been lost? What are we going to do?"

He is usually petty and likes to play tricks, giving people the impression of being very mercenary, even a bit sinister.

No one expected that he had such a compassionate heart.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he couldn't help but snort, "If I weren't this kind of person, would things have come to this?"

“Yes,” Jin Ge nodded in deep agreement, “It is better to be afraid to wield a sword against the strong than to be brave enough to wield a sword against the weak.”

At this moment, the difference in personal qualities becomes apparent. Qingkong scoffed dismissively, "Heh, nothing more than worrying about cause and effect."

"Let me make this clear first: I'm willing to take the lead in this matter. Anyone interested can cooperate. But don't accuse me of stealing your opportunity."

His words were barbed, but there was no other way; he believed that it wasn't a bad thing to state certain things in advance.

"Hmm?" Just then, Han Li glanced at him, frowned, and asked, "What cause and effect?"

"It's about the cause and effect of this world..." True Venerable Qingkong looked at him suspiciously, "Was I not clear enough?"

Han Li remained silent for a while before slowly shaking his head. "Something's not right. Something feels off!"

Meanwhile, in the void, two medium-sized warships were moving forward.

On one of the warships, someone spoke up, "It's been several years... I feel like this direction is wrong."

“Just go,” another person snapped. “No one is allowed to discuss the details. Just wait for the compass to light up, and then we’ll move out.”

This is an exploration team from the cultivation world, with some experience in exploring the void.

This time they took on a big job: to trace a wisp of aura in the void. Once they had basically pinpointed the location, they could proceed according to plan.

When I accepted the mission, I knew it was very dangerous, but there was nothing I could do because the client was offering too much.

The expedition claimed to have experience exploring the void, but in reality, they had only wandered in the void for three to five years before returning safely.

The void is too easy to get lost in; below the Nascent Soul stage, there are not many cultivators who dare to step into the void.

Aside from those who are prepared to risk their lives, most people simply wander around the neighborhood, accumulating some knowledge in case of emergency.

This team has members who have several years of experience in the Void, so they are quite strong.

Knowing the mission was dangerous, they prepared three medium-sized warships before setting off.

From a cost-benefit perspective, for these kinds of void missions, a powerful small warship is usually sufficient; a medium-sized warship would be too wasteful.

However, this time, the team was well aware of the dangers involved, as the client had hinted at many taboos.

Many members had guessed that it involved a powerful figure, otherwise certain taboos would be superfluous.

However, once the task has been accepted, or the inside story has been learned, refusing the job also carries considerable risk.

The key point is that the client provided a sufficient amount of information, and also gave appropriate hints about the potential dangers.

It's not that the client is kind-hearted; it's just that once something happens, the victim's investigation will definitely not stop at the expedition team.

Because of their deep understanding of the difficulty of the mission, the team wondered how long they would be wandering in the void.

Therefore, the expedition team deployed three medium-sized warships, with three Nascent Soul cultivators and nine Golden Core cultivators on each ship.

This is an absolutely huge mission. Although it is extremely dangerous and there is a high possibility of total annihilation, fortune favors the bold.

Qu Jianlei often complained about being poor, but considering the cultivation level and wealth of the team members, they were definitely not bad in the cultivation world.

The path to immortality is arduous, demanding extremely high levels of spiritual companionship, resources, and fertility. The number of cultivators who risk their lives for cultivation resources far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.

You've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, you can retire now? Don't be ridiculous... that's not how you joke!
As it turned out, this mission was no easy task. Several years passed in the blink of an eye, and the investigation still yielded no results.

However, while the team was dodging a void vortex, they were accidentally torn apart by a force that destroyed one of their warships.

The explorers also lost three members, including a Nascent Soul cultivator who was seriously injured, but fortunately received timely assistance from their teammates.

The problem right now is that, so far, no one sees any hope, and the atmosphere is really depressing.

Meanwhile, in a distant, otherworldly realm, Han Li glanced suspiciously at Qingkong Zhenzun, then remained silent.

The Grand Protector was a little confused by the stares, but since he had nothing to hide, he didn't care.

The real purpose was for him to pull Minning Zhenzun aside and discuss whether they should divine the two suns of the other world.

Min Ning was initially quite resistant to this matter, but she couldn't resist the Great Protector's solemn declaration that he could simply perform the divination, and that the cause and effect would be hers.

Since you're just sitting around doing nothing anyway, why don't you earn some extra money?
The waiting time was indeed a bit agonizing, but fortunately, everyone was mentally prepared when they decided to participate in protecting the Dharma.

In short, everyone went about their own business, and before they knew it, more than three years had passed.

Just as Qu Jianlei was about to complete his fourteenth year of seclusion, and was about to reach his fifteenth year, subtle changes occurred at the place where he was in seclusion.

The place where the retreat was originally held was a pale white cloud of mist with a slightly yellowish tinge.

The fog is now showing a slight fluctuation, so subtle that it's hard to detect without careful attention.

The first to notice the anomaly was not one of the celestial venerables, but Bentley. He glanced at Mu Guang and asked, "Is it just another illusion?"

"Huh?" Mu Guang was lost in thought. If we're talking about the most focused protectors, it's the two of them.

Over the past ten years or so, only a few years ago did the two of them visit other people.

After the leader announced his seclusion, the two of them seemed to be sealed inside the Xingzai, and they didn't even leave the house.

Mu Guang was pondering the magical energy structure of the magical beasts in this world, not out of hobby, but simply because he had nothing better to do.

Because he was somewhat distracted, he only realized what Bentley was saying and then observed carefully.

“Alright,” at that moment, True Venerable Hanli spread his divine sense in all directions, “It’s time, prepare to retreat.”

"Holy crap, have we finally arrived?" Jin Ge released his divine sense as well. "Thank goodness, my cave dwelling is only missing some final refinement."

"This aura... well, I won't comment," Wenxian released his divine sense, "to attempt to break through to the Out-of-Body stage in such a place is quite a testament!"

“I would like to comment…” Qingkong Zhenzun flashed over and entered the warning array. “Wenxian, remember to move the array.”

An unusual phenomenon has occurred, and the Dharma protectors have begun preparations to evacuate.

The fluctuating anomaly developed very steadily, as if there were a progress bar precisely increasing the amplitude of the fluctuation.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the fog has become quite volatile.

On this day, a faint energy suddenly emanated from within the fog.

Everyone, take a moment to sense it; it's still the familiar spiritual energy, not the corrosive kind found in this world.

This kind of refined spiritual energy cannot exist for long in this place; this faint trace of it dissipated almost instantly.

However, the Dharma protectors had been on high alert for half a year and noticed this scene almost simultaneously.

"We've reached a critical juncture in our breakthrough," Qingkong Zhenzun said calmly.

Even though he was standing in the middle of the formation, he still had to show his excellent insight: "This is the time to be ready to retreat at any moment!"

Han Li pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his tone, "Back off slowly and keep an eye on things."

To be able to break through the body and protect the Dharma is a difficult task. Not only is the karma heavy and it may be life-threatening, but the hardship alone is exhausting.

However, for those Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators who follow the Immortal Venerable, this is also a rare opportunity.

After more than ten years of hard work in guarding them, the opponent is finally about to advance to the next level, so we absolutely cannot give up the opportunity to observe!
What an honor it would be to witness the impact of exiting the body from the closest possible distance.
After more than ten years of protection, this opportunity is truly worthwhile, especially considering the prestige of our own Great Lord.

Although Han Li had a very high opinion of himself, he knew what the junior cultivators were thinking. They had been waiting for this moment for more than ten years.
So he told everyone to retreat slowly, firstly to get as far away from danger as possible, and secondly to continue to observe with difficulty.

The structures and objects that everyone has built here are either movable or can be dismantled; now it's time to put them to use.

Bentley and Mu Guang, though not accompanied by any immortals, were helped by Jin Ge and moved slowly backward.

Mu Guang was a little puzzled and asked, "Senior Master Shu, why is it at such a critical juncture now?"

He wasn't the only Nascent Soul cultivator with this kind of doubt, but he was the only one who directly asked it.

The reason is simple: he is the eldest son of the family, and he needs to pay attention to any abnormalities.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't help but prick up their ears when they heard him ask that question.

Jin Ge had never seen anyone else attempt to break through to the Out-of-Body stage, so he had no experience with it, and Han Li also lacked relevant knowledge.

In this respect alone, Qingtian's vision and energy are the strongest among the five True Venerables. Without a doubt.

However, the Venerable Master's theoretical knowledge is incredibly vast. After being reminded by the Great Protector, he has already realized what was going on.

"He has already begun absorbing energy to advance to the next level. The original shielding formation can completely prevent any energy leakage..."

The shielding array is not a necessity for advancing to higher levels, but rather it was specially built for this harsh environment.

This is to ensure that the internal energy does not leak out. Avoiding energy loss is a minor issue; the key is to prevent corrosion.

The current energy leakage is clearly caused by excessive energy fluctuations within the shielding array, leading to the outflow of spiritual energy.

That means Qu Jianlei has begun to absorb a large amount of energy and has started the final stage of advancement.
