Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2419 Ultimate Control
How could Qu Jianlei's breakthrough cause the leakage of spiritual energy when he forcibly absorbs a large amount of spiritual energy?
The rapid absorption of spiritual energy, like a whale sucking in a vortex, will cause a certain degree of fluctuation in spiritual energy.

The key is that there is also a large fragment of the world's core, which is also the resource he provides for advancing to the next level.

The core of the world is not easy to absorb, but it is nothing in the face of the overwhelming force of breaking through the body.

The key point is that the core of the world is not only energy but also rules; it is not purely spiritual energy and also needs to be transformed.

The transformation is accomplished by the corresponding rules, so there is no need for a transformation array or anything like that, but the energy transformation will cause fluctuations and chaos.

Therefore, although Qu Jianlei was absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, he could not possibly manage the energy fluctuations not far away.

Forcible management... is not impossible to try, but forget about advancing to higher ranks.

Simply put, the faster he absorbs energy, the more intense the surrounding energy fluctuations become, and the stronger the outflow.

Actually, this problem was considered by everyone when they first designed the secluded retreat location.

Qu Jianlei stated at the time that if the shielding array was designed to be too robust, the internal energy fluctuations could directly impact him.

Several True Venerables agreed with his statement; having lived for so long, how could they not understand this? Therefore, they did not deliberately enhance the shielding.

But before long, everyone forgot about it and focused on other details.

Because Qu Jianlei's seclusion to advance to the next level is different from any other Nascent Soul cultivator.

For various reasons, his training ground was a custom-made version.

For the True Venerables, participating in this event was actually a rather rare experience.

After all, it involves breaking through the body's defenses, and few people dare to take a different approach and do something unique.

The True Venerables present, regardless of whether they had seen others break through to the Out-of-Body stage before, were witnessing this for the first time in such an unconventional way.

Having witnessed the Sky-Piercing True Venerable's multiple attempts to transcend his physical form, he was the first to realize what the overflowing spiritual energy meant.

However, what the other True Venerables lacked was just a reminder—if all the spiritual energy overflows, won't the inside become a complete mess?

With Jin Ge's explanation, not only Bentley and Mu Guang, but also the other Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators understood.

So everyone continued to retreat slowly, but at the same time, they kept their eyes glued to the various changes.

By now, everyone knows that what they are currently observing is an "unconventional" breakthrough to the Out-of-Body stage.

But this is still a rare opportunity, and no one is willing to give it up.

For the True Venerable, this was an even rarer experience—almost a once-in-a-lifetime event.

The guardians were retreating in an orderly manner, while the leakage of spiritual energy from the mist was gradually increasing.

To everyone's great surprise, it still felt like there was a progress bar, and the rate at which spiritual energy was leaking was precisely increasing.

After observing for more than a month, the entire fog cloud was like a sieve that let in the wind and air, with spiritual energy constantly spraying out in all directions.

Spiritual energy is not normally able to exist in this space for long, but now it is permeating the area around the mist.

Even with its strong corrosive properties, the amount of spiritual energy ejected is still greater than the amount that dissipates.

However, the five True Venerables were not looking at that; rather, they were concerned with the increasing rate of spiritual energy leakage.

Even the arrogant Qingkong looked unusually serious, and after a long time, he finally couldn't help but glance at Han Li.

"As expected of the chosen one... his destiny hasn't been completely eliminated."

"Heh," Han Li snorted, "What does this have to do with me? It's because they have the ability!"

What the True Venerables are marveling at is Xiao Qu's extraordinary ability to control the situation.

It's easy to control the spiritual energy you absorb, but controlling it precisely when advancing to a higher level is much more difficult.

Controlling the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him is even more difficult, not to mention that while he is absorbing spiritual energy, he is also transforming and absorbing the core of the world.

The resulting chaos and interaction would lead to intense instability, which is easy to imagine, especially in a confined space...

Not to mention, there should also be a magic crystal converter in the space, which has a process of converting magic crystals into spiritual energy.

Under the mutual influence of various energies and rules, the overflowing spiritual energy is now able to maintain a steady growth...

What kind of god-like operation is this?
Although Qu Jianlei is still a long way from advancing, with his precise control over the field... who dares to say he's not good enough?
There are many thresholds to breaking through to the Awakening stage. For example, one needs to understand many rules, or one needs to accumulate enough knowledge and experience before attempting it.

Another important factor is having a solid foundation of personal strength; you can't force yourself to advance to a higher level.

All of this requires sufficient self-awareness; it cannot be based on "what I think," but on "the facts."

However, a huge hurdle is that during the advancement process, the progress cannot be controlled.

This is venturing into unknown territory rashly. First, we cannot control it precisely, and second... who can guarantee that controlling the situation won't be a foolish mistake?
Most of the time, people are trying to move forward as much as possible while maintaining their own balance.

No one can escape the fear of the unknown.

It's like someone who is a great swimmer falling into a river of unknown width in the dark of night; all they can do is try to swim forward.

If there are countless undercurrents and whirlpools in this river, making it impossible to guard against them, who wouldn't try their best to rush forward?
Qu Jianlei is at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, which means he has a certain understanding of the width of the river, making him much better than others.

However, it was night when he fell into the water, and he never actually reached the other side, not to mention the countless undercurrents and whirlpools he encountered.

At this point, he can not only precisely control his swimming speed, but also influence the undercurrents and eddies... Who can disagree with that?

Those who frequently experience out-of-body experiences know that in this situation, if he doesn't leave his body, who else can?
The foundation is already halfway to the Nascent Soul stage, the rules contain the true meaning of birth and death, and now even the rhythm is controlled so well...

Even the resources were prepared exceptionally well; apart from the somewhat unconventional location for the retreat, there were absolutely no problems.

Although the Houde Realm is vast, there are very few True Venerables, and among them, perhaps only one in a hundred has the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Besides the bottleneck of resources, the risk of failure in attempting to leave one's body is also too high, so no one dares to try it lightly.

There has never been an example like Qu Jianlei, who was considered a shoo-in for success before even completing the entire process...

Judging from the current unusually rapid and steady progress, it's no exaggeration to say that there's a sense of "distraction."

Even if what he is currently trying to achieve is only the Out-of-Body Realm.

Qingkong praised Hanli because he was saying: "Your judgment is truly remarkable, and your luck is also quite good."

You managed to bump into such a wild genius and even managed to build such a good relationship with him!
Han Li reacted as usual, but Min Ning was also deeply impressed. "This is not just ordinary composure... It seems that overcoming the inner demons is not a big problem!"

What is an inner demon? You must first lose your composure before an inner demon can appear!
Many people say that inner demons arise unconsciously, but this is actually because the foundation is not solid enough.

Qu Jianlei's pursuit of such stable control is also a way to guard against the emergence of certain uncontrollable factors.

However, his pursuit of control is somewhat abnormal; he not only controls himself but also the external environment.

This is not about obsessive-compulsive disorder being incurable, but rather about doing everything within our power to eliminate any potential risks, no matter how small.

Therefore, Min Ning can conclude that it is highly unlikely that Xiao Qu is stuck on her inner demons.

“It can be considered a model of astral projection,” Wenxian commented casually, “and it adds another avenue.”

This is a higher level of praise. Although this method of advancing is unconventional, it seems to be effective and reliable at present!

Many methods for advancing to higher levels are admired and imitated not only because there are successful precedents, but also because these precedents are not due to luck.

Simply put, a way to advance that can be replicated is a new path.

Qu Jianlei's prerequisites for advancing to the next level are actually quite numerous, including some rare resources that seem to be unrepeatable.

But Wenxian still dares to say that because Xiaoqu's progress in the rankings was so steady.

Since this is a textbook-level standard for advancing to the next level, those rare, auxiliary advancement treasures are replaceable.

—Back then, Immortal Qu was able to advance to the next level in such a way. Although your treasures are a bit inferior, your process is not as solid, and the probability is a bit lower.

As for the possibility of failure... give me a break. Who can guarantee success when attempting to break through to the Out-of-Body stage? Do you think you're some kind of immortal master?

In short, the more stable Qu Jianlei's progress is, the more room there is for other imitators to replace him.

However, Jin Ge was still worried about Qu Lingzhu's resources. "Judging from this commotion, that core... I wonder if it's enough?"

"Isn't this enough?" Min Ning thought to herself, utterly speechless. "I'm only a small piece, and it feels like it'll last me a long time..."

"It's over!" Upon hearing this, True Venerable Qingkong's expression changed slightly, then he grinned, "My Extreme Spirit Vein!"

"Are you serious?" Han Li Zhenzun turned his head to look at him, too lazy to say anything more.

He was inwardly quite disdainful. "We agreed it was just a loan, are you worried about damaging it?" His expression was so exaggerated!
He believed that Xiao Qu knew her limits and would only use it appropriately, since it wasn't her own property and there was no need to offend the person who lent her the treasure.

However, Venerable Qingkong shook his head and said weakly, "Have you ever helped someone break through to the Out-of-Body stage while protecting them?"

"No," Han Li answered frankly, "Ning Ying did pay attention to a few things."

He didn't see it as a flaw; helping others protect the Dharma was truly hard work, and nothing to brag about.

Besides, how old is he now? If he wants to protect the Dharma, he'll have plenty of opportunities in the future; it just depends on whether he's interested or not.

Unlike the other party, who is not only the Grand Protector of Lingyun Sect, but also has a mission to protect those who are breaking through the barrier!
Whether it's within the sect or the obligations and karmic consequences the sect owes to the outside world, the Great Protector's involvement is extremely high!

"I have protected the Dharma four times," Venerable Qingkong stated solemnly, "This is the fifth time, and I have..."

"You can't just say things like that," Han Li Zhenzun shook his head, decisively stopping him.

"You're not exactly a protector this time; we'll have to be on guard against you!"
