Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2424 Human Tribulation
What Han Li said was the absolute truth.

Regardless of what everyone did in this world before, Qu Jianlei has indeed successfully achieved a body separation here... basically succeeded.

Success alone is not the key issue; the crucial point is the feedback he receives after advancing to the next level, much of which is lost in this world.

From that moment on, Xiao Qu became deeply intertwined with this world through cause and effect.

This is because everyone acted too late. If they had realized it earlier and acted in time, the causal relationship would have been much less severe.

However, no one can be blamed for this; who has ever seen someone leave their body like this?
Even the most knowledgeable and experienced Grand Protector didn't dare to offer any advice at that time, as he was focused on pursuing stability.

Therefore, regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional in this world, after gaining benefits, causal relationships arise, and bonds are formed.

If this isn't the case, simply saying that one's body leaves the earth isn't a very serious karmic consequence. If one finds it troublesome, one can simply destroy this world.

Legend has it that killing one's wife can lead to enlightenment... or the first step to reaching the shore is to kill the one you love!
Although this approach is not the right path and leans more towards the unorthodox path, it can ultimately lead to enlightenment, can't it?
Now it's different. Cause and effect have formed a bond, and everyone wants to influence this world. Qu Jianlei wants to share the burden and obstacles.

Upon hearing this, Qingkong Zhenzun was somewhat indignant, as it was his suggestion to eliminate those two suns long ago.

As the primary initiator, he had more say in the distribution of the profits, and no one argued with him at the time; the rights had already been confirmed!
Moreover, after that, he also put in a lot of effort to perform divination, but he was worried about affecting Xiao Qu, so he couldn't be too reckless in his divination.

Now that Han Li is saying this, it's all been for nothing, and he's somewhat unwilling to accept it.

But the next moment, he frowned slightly, sensing that something was wrong... Was it the malice of this world?
"Trying to play games with me?" Qingkong Zhenzun sneered inwardly. "Once Xiaoqu emerges from seclusion, I'll personally divine the consequences!"

Ultimately, it's because Qu Jianlei hasn't emerged from seclusion yet; his transformation into a spiritual body isn't fully complete, and there are some things that can't be rushed.

Once Xiao Qu has left the pass, we can discuss it with him and get his consent before making the divination.

At this point, the Great Protector looked at Han Li and asked, "How much longer until we emerge from seclusion?"

Han Li didn't try to compete for the aura at all, but instead casually sensed his surroundings. It was his subordinates who took action.

Upon hearing this, he first turned to look at Qingkong, then shook his head slightly without answering, clearly unsure as well.

However, he then frowned slightly and raised his hand to calculate again.

This time, he spent quite a while calculating, and after he finished, his brows furrowed even more.

Then he glanced at Qingkong, a half-smile playing on his lips, "Strange, there's still a calamity, but... I can't see it clearly."

The Grand Protector felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze. "What kind of expression is that?"

“A calamity is definitely not a good thing, right?” True Venerable Wenxian replied. He had the array plate in hand, so he didn’t need to worry too much.

"The good thing is that Xiao Qu... Fellow Daoist Qu should have already been promoted, so the divination is unclear."

"A calamity?" Jin Ge frowned, and his sleeves paused for a rare moment. "What calamity?"

This is a huge deal. Everyone thought that the advancement of the Quling Master was a sure thing, but who would have thought that there would be a calamity?

The process of breaking through the body will inevitably involve tribulations, and there may be many calamities involved.

However, most of the time, the "obstacle of perception" is the most difficult, and it is an upgraded version of the obstacle of perception.

In other words, cultivators attempting to advance to higher levels haven't fully grasped the corresponding rules and Dao principles; they're just a little short.

However, considering that Qu Jianlei was so young, yet had already mastered the quasi-divine power "Time" and possessed the aura of birth and death, this was nothing special.

The others are other tribulations, such as the tribulation of inner demons.

Those who forcefully advance to higher ranks without accumulating enough experience can also be considered as being under the category of inner demon tribulations.

Another common calamity is the karmic calamity.

However, most Nascent Soul cultivators who have committed karmic tribulations are aware of their situation and will not rashly attempt to leave their bodies before confirming that the tribulation has been resolved.

Of course, there are also those who are reckless or take a gamble, wanting to take a risk, but reality will teach them what it means to face calamity.

There are many other tribulations, too numerous to mention, but how could there still be tribulations when the story is already nearing its end?
Breaking through the body is different from condensing the nascent soul and forming the elixir. It's not the last hurdle that's the most difficult, but rather the process itself!

Jin Ge was very knowledgeable about these things, so when he heard that Qu Jianlei was undergoing tribulation, he was really a little confused.

Several True Venerables communicated privately, even intentionally obscuring the world's perception—the causal bond had already been formed and could not be revealed.

Mu Guang was whispering to Bentley, "What kind of strange phenomena do you think will occur when the boss finishes his seclusion?"

Bentley's lips twitched. "You mean he pointed to the sky with his left hand and to the earth with his right, proclaiming 'I am the only one who is supreme in heaven and on earth'?"

"You've heard this story too?" Mu Guang asked in surprise. "I thought... well, there should be some kind of earth-shattering phenomenon, right?"

“That might not actually happen,” Jin Ge said from the side. “What is meant by ‘leaving the body’? It’s like breaking free of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly!”

"Have you ever seen a butterfly emerge from its cocoon in such a dramatic and widely publicized way? It's all about the subtle and gradual process of nurturing something wonderful!"

Since True Venerable Minning was closer to him, he interjected, "There are exceptions, such as sword cultivators!"

“Sword cultivators don’t count,” Jin Ge answered without hesitation, “A divine sword is naturally formed, and today it is unsheathed… naturally there will be astonishing phenomena!”

"However, even after leaving the body, without deliberately concealing it, there is still some movement."

Upon hearing this, Mu Guang was somewhat disappointed. "Anyway, the commotion wasn't that big, right?"

“After leaving the body, the body becomes the world, and the movements are in the details…” Jin Ge answered subconsciously, then paused, “Uh, transformation into the Dao?”

He had to admit that his encounter with Hu Zhongzi left a very deep impression on him.

“It’s not that strange,” Qingkong Zhenzun couldn’t help but say. “When the Master in the Pot comprehended the Dao, he comprehended the Great Dao and transformed into the Great Dao.”

"Enlightenment is not all the same. The Great Way and the Lesser Way are different. That's human... Damn, the human tribulation?"

As soon as he uttered the words "Human Calamity," the other four True Venerables all turned their heads and stared intently at him.

Everyone is at the Out-of-Body stage. Their combat strength and cultivation levels may differ, but their realms are roughly the same, and most of the time their reactions differ only slightly.

Everyone was wondering what kind of ordeal Xiao Qu was about to encounter.

This is something that a Dharma protector must consider. Although they cannot directly enter the scene to face the calamity, there are many auxiliary tasks they can do.

If it is not done properly, then at the very least it is a failure to protect the Dharma, and the karmic consequences involved... can be big or small, but there will definitely be some.

Upon hearing the words "human calamity," the four True Venerables instantly sensed something amiss!

This kind of calamity has been considered before; it is a relatively likely calamity that may occur at the end of an out-of-body experience.

The problem is, where are we now? In a strange world that has never been discovered by cultivators.

There may be natural disasters, rule-based calamities, and karmic calamities in this place... but it is highly unlikely that there will be human calamities.

All the cultivators present were there to protect the Dharma, except for one who had made a Dao oath.

Although the Great Protector is a bit forceful, his reputation isn't particularly bad, so it's unlikely he would do something so taboo.

But now, the window paper has been torn open, and the senses generated by the four people all fell on the Great Protector!

A cold smile crept across Han Li's lips. "Heh, this is interesting. No wonder I've always felt something was off about you!"

The Grand Protector made no attempt to defend himself; his brow furrowed slightly. "Damn... who dares to scheme against me?"

Just as he was about to utter the words "human tribulation," he instantly sensed a causal thread!

Without saying a word, he was certain that he had been set up and someone had tampered with him!
This discovery made him both ashamed and angry. He was ashamed that he, the dignified Grand Protector of Lingyun, had failed to notice it!

What annoyed him was: This Baiqiao is too reckless, daring to do this to me... no, not Baiqiao.

If it wasn't Baiqiao, then he'd be even more furious. "Who are you, you ant, daring to mess with me?"
Anyway, making excuses is useless; you can fool others, but you can't fool these four people's senses.

Min Ning Zhenzun's face darkened, and he raised his hand to form hand seals. "Who the hell is so bold as to provoke Ling Yun?"

He could instinctively tell that this was not a method used by the Lingyun Sect.

First of all, this is a taboo of the Lingyun Sect. Those who dare to defy this taboo and plot against the Great Protector are fewer than a handful.

Secondly, the Great Protector's cultivation level is not something to be taken lightly. If he was momentarily careless and didn't notice, that's one thing, but if he did notice, he definitely wouldn't fail to recognize it.

Then he definitely wouldn't have this expression.

"We're almost there," said the Sky-Piercing True Venerable, his face ashen. "Truly... I admire you. You even managed to activate a Heavenly Mystery Treasure?"

Han Li didn't speak upon hearing this, but only glanced at Wenxian Zhenzun.

Wenxian immediately understood and raised his hand to release dozens of array plates, covering the entire ball of light.

Without saying anything, first protect Xiao Qu, who hasn't come out of seclusion yet, and also, "be careful when collecting aura."

Previous actions have shown that collecting the remaining primordial Yin-Yang energy has little impact on the secluded Master Quling.

This was also unanimously approved by the five great masters.

But now that the calamity of humanity is approaching, shouldn't we collect all of these auras?
The aura dissipated into this world naturally; the current artificial collection is somewhat deliberate.

However, since it will eventually dissipate, it's better to let the Dharma protectors who have always been there benefit from it rather than let this world benefit from it.

I believe that after Master Qu Ling emerges from seclusion... Master Qu Zhen will surely understand this principle, and there will be virtually no misunderstandings.

However, with calamity approaching, these lingering energies may protect those in seclusion.

It's hard to say exactly how to protect it; this is something that most people have never even heard of before.

Even the primordial Yin-Yang aura was something that almost no one present had ever encountered before.

Moreover, counterfeit products differ from genuine products in that they have different focuses and should come in many types.

However, it is certain that since this thing was born because of Qu Jianlei, the two are causally related.

A breath that can give back to the whole world is considered auspicious, so theoretically, it can also bring corresponding benefits before it dissipates.
