Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2420 It’s bright
Upon hearing Han Li's words, Qingkong Zhenzun nearly vomited blood in anger. "Is this how you perceive me?"

Han Li Zhenzun was too lazy to answer: Protecting someone who is advancing in rank is a huge favor, and there will be consequences. Are you still dreaming?
The Grand Protector was increasingly helpless. "I don't want favors, but I did offer reasonable suggestions. Do you expect me to owe you one?"

The two relationships—him helping Xiao Qu protect the Dharma and others raising their guard against him—are completely opposite!
He wasn't interested in taking advantage, but he also didn't want to suffer a loss—even without swearing an oath, I had entered the great formation!
“No one is asking you to owe them a favor,” Jin Ge was still willing to speak up for justice, after all, the other party was a high-ranking member of the sect.

"Great Protector, please don't be so petty. Master Quling is not an unreasonable person, but is there something wrong with the Extreme Spirit Vein?"

“You haven’t experienced enough out-of-body experiences!” The Great Protector shook his head helplessly.

"I didn't divine his fate... and I was a little hesitant, but I'm certain of one thing: his breakthrough is not yet halfway complete, and his spiritual energy has doubled!"

When it comes to judgment in this area, he is not afraid of anyone. Even in Lingyun, his judgment is the most authoritative, without exception!

This is a skill he honed out of boredom while protecting the Dharma, and it has been tested by real-world examples!
In his judgment, Xiao Qu's final push to the next level, although it lasted for more than half a year, was not yet halfway through and would continue for at least that long.

While the amount of spiritual energy Xiao Qu used was not observable from the outside, he had a rough estimate and believed it wouldn't be too far off.

To reiterate, his estimation is authoritative and he has great confidence in it, so he basically doesn't need to use divination.

However, when Xiao Qu was about to leave his body, he really didn't dare to make any divinations casually, as the other party's luck was too strong and it was not advisable to provoke them.

At first glance, doubling the spiritual energy doesn't seem particularly serious, but the individual differences among cultivators are actually quite significant.

If things continue in this way, once the body is successfully separated from the body, the combat power will be considerable.

However, the other four True Venerables understood, and Jin Ge's expression changed slightly, "So, when breaking through the barrier... it will at least double?"

As expected of an academic academy judge, there's no basic knowledge point he doesn't understand.

“At least eight times,” Han Li said calmly. “I already calculated that beforehand, it’s no big deal!”

Qingkong Zhenzun shook his head, "It should be more than eight times. In my experience, it's possible that it could be more than ten times."

Then he gave Han Li a deep look, "The world core should be enough, but... the Extreme Spirit Vein is easy to absorb!"

His concern was that Xiao Qu, in pursuit of ultimate control, would prioritize absorbing the Extreme Spirit Vein!

Previously, he had only marveled at the other party's ability to control the situation, but he had overlooked how difficult it was to absorb the core of the world.

When faced with the overwhelming force of leaving one's body, the rules will assist in the transformation, making it relatively easier, but it is still far too difficult compared to the Extreme Spirit Vein.

So, for a cultivator who pursues ultimate control, it's not surprising that they would first use resources that are easy to control, right?

We're almost halfway through the advancement, and everything seems to be in good order. In this situation, shouldn't we strive for simplicity as much as possible?
The Great Protector believes that, given his current knowledge, when giving advice to others, he would definitely suggest prioritizing the Extreme Spirit Vein.

The world's core can be absorbed appropriately, but only if one has the capability; it should never be forced.

When it comes to the most crucial breakthrough, we can increase the absorption of the world's core, and sacrificing some field control is no big deal.

However, at the same time, we must try our best to squeeze every last drop of value out of the Extreme Spirit Vein... It would be foolish not to do so!
In Qingkong's view, Qu Jianlei's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage was a sure thing, but who would complain about a high probability of breaking through?
"Hmph," True Venerable Hanli couldn't help but snort coldly, "Do you think you only have your Extreme Spirit Vein?"

He supported Master Quling in using this method to advance his rank, so naturally he could provide similar treasures.

Just as he said before, the Supreme Protector's Extreme Spirit Vein was just an extra auxiliary treasure.

Although Xiao Qu's current need for spiritual energy still exceeded his expectations, it's not a big problem!
But after thinking about it, he still said, "He's not you; he won't pick the easy thing to do first."

Despite their relatively shallow relationship, he was still somewhat familiar with Ling Yun's style of doing things.

This person is a fairly typical pragmatist, or rather, a conservative type, who would not easily take risks.

However, Han Li knew Qu Jianlei better, knowing that this younger brother was very restrained and methodical in his actions.

No one would believe that someone who can leave a supply point in the void has no life plan, right?

Han Li had a feeling that Xiao Qu still had some energy left, and perhaps most of the control was still focused on the core of the world.

Otherwise, how could he control the outflow of spiritual energy so precisely? It would be a losing proposition... He didn't even know that people outside were praising his discipline.

However, there's no need for outsiders to know about this feeling.

It's not that he wants to be secretive, but in the world of cultivation, letting others know too much about your friend might harm them.

“Oh, that’s good,” Qingkong Zhenzun nodded. “We should be close to the limit of energy accumulation now, let’s step back a bit.”

“I have the same suggestion,” True Venerable Wenxian said. “This land of fallen gods doesn’t feel very safe.”

This is the place where many magic gods fought against the gods, and later the Star Devouring Beast also invaded. It is a vast space that is difficult to describe.

It's quite surprising that Wenxian would say something like that now.

“Then let’s take another step back,” surprisingly, it was Qingkong Zhenzun who supported him. “In case there’s a problem with the space, we can avoid the karmic consequences of leaving the body.”

This "astral projection" refers specifically to Qu Jianlei. Everyone can protect him as he goes through a breakthrough, but please do not interfere, as that would involve karma.

Otherwise, those who attempt to advance will face annihilation, and those involved will not fare well either.

Even a Great Lord of the Divided Souls cannot withstand the consequences of interfering with the astral projection; it will implicate one's own path of cultivation.

"Cause and effect?" Upon hearing this, Han Li glanced at Qing Kong Zhen Zun again and blinked twice.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it; it was just weird.

The Great Protector looked at him suspiciously, wondering if there was something wrong with what he said.
As they retreated, they observed the surroundings, and the range of spiritual energy emanating from the secluded cultivation area grew larger and larger.

Although there is spatial folding, it is impossible to feel exactly how far they retreated, but it should be several million kilometers.

Tens of millions of kilometers... is also possible.

This immense uncertainty regarding distance is not limited to the mystical side; it is also common in the technological side.

It's not just spatial folding; the intervention of different dimensions can also lead to this sense of distortion.

In short, everyone has been slowly retreating, which, under normal circumstances, would be tens of millions of kilometers away.

However, the mist can still be observed, and the range of the spiritual energy spray is also not far away.

Among the team of True Venerable Minning, a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator muttered quietly, "Isn't this commotion a bit too big?"

An older Nascent Soul cultivator replied solemnly, "This is an attempt to leave the body; it wouldn't be surprising if it destroyed the heavens and the earth."

Lower-level cultivators tend to exaggerate the strength of higher-level cultivators. The old Nascent Soul cultivator's understanding is not wrong, but it is not comprehensive.

Han Li Zhenzun, who had once destroyed a star, gradually showed a solemn expression in his eyes as time went by.

Wenxian was already a little unsure. Seeing that his usual composure was gone from his eyes, she casually asked a question.

"I feel that being wary of him is more necessary than being wary of anyone else?"

“He’d better succeed within three years,” Han Li replied casually, “otherwise…”

He paused halfway through his sentence, then gave a wry smile, "Who would have thought that such a large world core might not be enough?"

“It won’t last three years,” Qingkong Zhenzun said calmly, no longer concerned about his Extreme Spirit Vein.

Even if the spiritual veins are drained dry by the other party, it doesn't really matter.

If Xiao Qu can successfully break through the barrier, given the amazing potential she's currently displaying, she'll be able to owe me a favor.

There are different kinds of astral projection. Min Ning is not bad among the astral projection True Venerables, while Wen Xian is a Grandmaster of Array Dao.

However, when facing Han Li, these two basically couldn't muster any competitive spirit.

Judging from the commotion Xiao Qu made after advancing, she is at least... at least the second Han Li, and very likely even stronger.

Most importantly, this guy might go even further!

Of course, if I fail to break through, should I keep that Extreme Spirit Vein...? Oh right, I can ask Han Li for it.

However, even with Xiao Qu making such a big fuss now, the rhythm remains very stable.

Qingkong Zhenzun couldn't figure out why this guy would fail, unless it was because he "felt that the core of the world could only last for a little over two years."

Upon hearing this, Jin Ge couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. "Didn't you say, Great Protector, that such a large piece was a waste for him?"

The Great Protector shook his head helplessly, "I already overestimated his strength, but I never imagined he could be this monstrous!"

"Two years..." Han Li's fingers twitched slightly, but in the end there was no reaction.

Jin Ge raised his eyebrows helplessly, "If I had known... never mind."

He hadn't actually decided what to do with the lower-level world core he acquired; he just wanted to store it up as a foundation.

But there's no point in talking about this now; it just makes me feel a little regretful.

Seeing this, Wenxian smiled and said, "You're all just worried and confused. I've heard that his cultivation method is quite different."

Among the True Venerables, he had the most stable mindset. For him, this was fulfilling the most grueling promise.

Once he finished this matter, he would owe no one anything. He had already given away the treasures that he had previously owed to the other three people.

It's not that I'm not worried about Xiao Qu, but is worrying useful? I might as well give everyone a heads-up.

“His cultivation technique…” Min Ning pondered for a moment, then shook her head, “I really can’t understand it.”

While they were discussing this, two medium-sized warships were still speeding through the void.

"Otherwise, let's head back to Houde. We really can't hold on any longer... Damn, it's lit up! The compass is lit up!"
