Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2421 Dilemma
Before he knew it, more than a year had passed since Qu Jianlei broke through the barrier.

The protectors were still slowly retreating, completely disoriented as to how far they had gone.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, Qingkong Zhenzun felt a faint palpitation.

For some inexplicable reason, he glanced at Han Li and felt that he might have some connection with him.

Perhaps, over the past few years, the other person has also given me a strange look?
Han Li's perception was also extremely sharp. She glanced at him, then frowned slightly, "Almost there!"

Qingkong Zhenzun snapped out of his daze, sensed the situation, and then raised an eyebrow. "It's getting close... accelerate our retreat!"

"Is it almost here?" Jin Ge asked in surprise. "I can't feel it."

He was actually very happy, but he couldn't help feeling a little depressed: Am I really that bad?
But the next moment, he raised an eyebrow. "So they really came... so quickly?"

The spiritual energy visible to the naked eye in front of us was originally jet-shaped, but later it also spread out, giving it a slightly misty appearance.

Now, this thin layer of spiritual mist is actually trembling slightly.

It's not fluctuation, but an overall shaking or trembling—it's definitely not normal.

The area covered by the spiritual mist is now very large, and the spiritual energy that has dissipated during this period is enough to make a Nascent Soul True Venerable feel heartache!
Even Han Li once muttered to himself, "With such high energy consumption, no wonder he needs to convert magic crystals!"

Without the support of magic crystals, the consumption would be too great, and in a place like this, spiritual energy cannot be recovered, right?
What he didn't know was that Qu Jianlei himself hadn't expected things to develop to this point; initially, he just wanted to save some spirit stones.

Such a vast range of spiritual energy, even the slightest tremor, would require an enormous amount of energy to activate it.

What surprised Jin Ge even more was that the amplitude of the spiritual energy mist's tremors was visibly increasing.

"What an enormous amount of energy this must consume..." Jin Ge sighed inwardly as he flicked his sleeve and put away Bentley and Mu Guang.

Without a word, he turned and fled for his life, sending out his divine sense as he ran, "Why aren't you running... Damn, everyone's faster than me?"

The sheer speed at which the shaking intensifies is enough to discern the surge of energy.

Most importantly, if the speed of this shaking increases to a certain level while the acceleration remains constant, it will be terrifying.

Just like an avalanche, at first it's just small, inconspicuous snowballs sliding down, and you don't feel anything.

However, a smart person would run away immediately upon seeing this; if one is even slightly slow to react, tragedy could ensue.

Jin Ge thought he reacted quickly, but then he realized: So I was the last one to run?
Fortunately, even though his reaction was a little slow, his speed in taking off was no worse than the other four.

Five beams of light flew ahead, while the tremors of spiritual energy behind them increased at an almost constant rate.

Before long, even Han Li couldn't help but exclaim, "This commotion is really a bit scary!"

“This land of fallen gods… I think it’s almost done,” Wenxian sighed as he tossed an array plate behind him.

The spiritual mist trembled more and more violently, and the vibrations had already been transmitted into the space, causing the entire space to shake.

The vibrations traveled faster, forcing Wenxian to throw out the array plate and disrupt the resonant rhythm.

Otherwise, it will lead to disastrous consequences.

Of course, other True Venerables also have their own ways of dealing with this, but isn't this... his method the most convenient and powerful?

Even now, everyone has not forgotten their main task—to protect Xiao Qu.

Everyone must leave enough fighting force to deal with other possible unforeseen circumstances, which means Wenxian will have to bleed.

Vibrations came from all directions in the space behind them. The group ran wildly and finally reached the dim yellow outer space.

There is a clear separation between this place and the land of fallen gods; at least the violent tremors... cannot reach here for a while.

"Just how powerful is this?" Min Ning couldn't help but ask. The feeling of running for his life just now still made him feel lingering fear.

“The entire Land of Fallen Gods… I’m afraid it’s in serious trouble,” Wenxian said thoughtfully. “I feel the structure is unstable.”

"It's just a Star Devourer," Qingkong said calmly.

Han Li's face was gloomy. After thinking for a while, he still raised his hand to calculate.

At this critical juncture, the potential impact of his divination is far too small.

Then his expression changed, “Step back a little further, it’s still not safe here.”

"Huh?" Venerable Qingkong looked at him with a puzzled expression, then nodded thoughtfully. "You're really bold... just as I expected!"

Then he asked, "Is the Haoran Sect... really that powerful?"

"Him?" Han Li thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't ask about his background, but he might not be from the Haoran Sect."

Qingkong didn't dwell on the question, but instead asked directly, "How long?"

"At most a month..." Han Li answered uncertainly, "It's not that the space will definitely collapse, but that he will break through the realm!"

As he answered, he gave the instruction, "Step back a little further, it's not safe here."

One of Jiuyou Island's subordinates couldn't help but ask, "Great Venerable One, is it really that difficult to leave one's body?"

What the subordinates really wanted to ask was not the difficulties, but the commotion.

Such a vast land of fallen gods might not even be preserved, and it could even affect the outer space?

Han Li glanced at him, her eyes somewhat dazed, and after a while replied, "People shouldn't compare themselves to each other... it will corrupt one's Dao heart."

Half a month later, a violent tremor came from the space of the Land of Fallen Gods.

The vibrations became increasingly intense, and even the outer edges of the body felt noticeably uncomfortable.

Qingkong couldn't help but approach Hanli again, "Isn't this distance... a bit too risky?"

Han Li had just put her hand down when she heard this. She glanced at him, then shook her head thoughtfully. "Let's... wait and see!"

Should we wait a moment? Qingkong Zhenzun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not ask any more questions.

He was quite confident in his divination skills and did not think he was any worse than Han Li.

But he didn't have that kind of recklessness. Perhaps Han Li had a better relationship with the other party and was better able to control the situation.
Four or five days later, the tremors became more and more intense, and Han Li couldn't help but consider whether to retreat a little further.

He raised his hand, then reluctantly lowered it: such a significant cause and effect cannot be divined too frequently, and unexpected events must also be dealt with.

The next moment, Jin Ge suddenly asked, "Has the intensity of this vibration stopped increasing?"

In this dim, yellowish outer space, the vibrations that everyone is currently feeling are not actually that noticeable.

The main reason was the intense tremors in the space of the Fallen Gods, which gave everyone a strong sense of insecurity.

Within that constantly trembling space, it was as if an ancient ferocious beast was gradually awakening.

It doesn't have any obvious imposing presence, but the sense of oppression it brings is extremely strong, making people feel disoriented from time to time.

Cultivators with slightly weaker willpower could even vaguely feel their souls being shaken invisibly.

The ever-increasing vibrations in this space seemed to be telling everyone that the ferocious beast was about to emerge from its cocoon!

Having escaped from the Land of Fallen Gods, everyone had already experienced a thrilling escape, albeit one that ended without serious harm.

This lingering fear is unlikely to disappear in the short term, and it is even more profound at this moment. Although everyone's perception is slight, the pressure is immense.

What if this happens again...? Should we start running now?
In this situation, Jin Ge was the first to notice that the amplitude of the vibration had stopped increasing.

This is not only due to the True Venerable's extraordinary perception, but also because the ancient golden essence is exceptionally sensitive to vibrations.

As expected, the second person to sense it was Minning Zhenzun, who said, "He has indeed stopped strengthening."

His most proficient rhythmic field is an extension of the Delayed Divine Power, and it is extremely sensitive to vibrations.

The other three True Venerables reacted a little slower, and even though two of them were stronger, they were still experts in their own fields.

Han Li and Qing Kong exchanged a glance, the latter's gaze particularly grave. "Step back a little more?"

“I’m afraid that’s how it has to be,” Han Li frowned, “but… should we take another look?”

The fact that even someone as calm and collected as him could become conflicted shows just how complicated the situation was.

“It might explode, or it might collapse,” Qingkong Zhenzun said without hesitation. “In any case, something is about to happen.”

"I'm responsible for protecting the Dharma," Han Li said calmly. "What kind of person only cares about their own safety?"

"It's not that dangerous," Jin Ge said dismissively. "Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage... could it really affect us?"

"You haven't seen anything terrifying!" Qingkong rolled his eyes. "Haven't you heard of the legend of the Seven Leaves?"

The Seven-Leaf True Venerable existed more than 6,000 years ago. When he was separated from his body, he was ambushed, and even the guardian he invited was injured.

At the critical moment, he broke through his barrier and severely injured the two True Venerables who had launched a sneak attack. Later, other True Venerables arrived, and the two sides eventually stopped fighting.

Later, Seven Leaves True Venerable pursued the opponent for over a thousand years, killing two True Venerables and severely injuring one.

He disappeared suddenly when he was over two thousand years old. Some say he was ambushed, while others say he went to another world.

Regardless, he is considered one of the strongest True Venerables in the Houde Realm within the last 20,000 years.

Jin Ge naturally knew this person as well, and he said nonchalantly, "Even if he's terrifying, can't he escape?"

"You're a protector!" Qingkong slapped his forehead, speaking helplessly, "Shouldn't you be standing in a safe place so you can act at any time?"

After a day or so of anxious waiting, everyone discovered that the space had truly stabilized completely, and the vibrations no longer intensified.

Immediately afterwards, more than one true master diviner calculated that this shock might subside!
"Let's retreat," Han Li Zhenzun finally made his decision. "The explosion isn't scary; what's scary is the suction force..."

The Land of Fallen Gods is truly about to collapse. At least everyone can still fly away to escape. If any evil spirits or the like appear, it will be very difficult to get close.

However, the suction force generated by the collapse introduces many variables. If it attracts enemies, the crowd may not be able to protect the Dharma while struggling.
